bawsburst 1,381 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Have we discovered why the RST wrote and what the object of writing hoped to achieve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Robot 21,139 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 What are we offended about we aren't even mentioned.I can't make out the tweet but if it says h** bastards, who do you honestly think this is referring to? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisburnranger 36 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Have we discovered why the RST wrote and what the object of writing hoped to achieve.Are you suggesting that the original tweet was regarding a semi final between Dundee Utd and Celtc? The language used in the tweet is accepted as sectarian and derogatory towards Rangers. That may be historically inaccurate, but nonetheless is the reality of the world we live in today. Life would be much easier if everything was black and white like you're portraying. Sadly it isn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmytto 220 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Anyone else read that tweet as the guy calling the SFA h*n bastards?That is exactly what they meant, hence why they drew on the 4-5 days to sell their allocation, as if it was an unreasonable timeframe and an advantage to Rangers. Some are just looking to be offended. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
