RFC55 107,778 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Exactly, Houston is no more special a fan than any of the rest of usJust seen a couple of folk suggest Houston has said he doesn't want it. Hopefully that's the end of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarkev 3,540 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Subject: Press statement for immediate ReleaseThe RFFF voted today that in the event of litigation against Craig Houston, arising from content on the Sons Of Struth Facebook page, a proposal to provide financial support will be taken to a general meeting of fansWell as someone who donated £100 to the RFFF I will be demanding that back if they go down this route.....why not defend fans charged with offensive singing? The reason is because this fund was supposed to be about helping the club and at the time small creditors not individuals. Especially not individuals who have continually attacked the club.No sorry but this is a fucking disgrace that it's even being suggested!

Tontospal 1,116 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I despair for our club. The support is not the one I grew up with and was proud to be a part of. The VB article was spot on. Our enemies are laughing at us and turning the screw at every turn yet the support gets more divided each day. The sooner these trumpets in our support realise this or go back to whatever they did before they infiltrated the support the better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MayboleLoyal_atb 3,635 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I think Houston is wrong to allow what he did on fb. I think the Easdales could have dealt with it better. I think the both of them are pathetic how for it's came.For all of us who donated to that fund wether it be 1 pound or a grand done so for the good of Rangers FC. Not so a fan could be helped in court against a director.This. Would rather see those helped in court who are there because they are singing Fathers advice etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 73,142 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 If the money was to be used like this then why wasn't it used to defend fans wrongly fully arrested for 'sectarian' singing and such?This smacks of a conflict of interest amongst some of RFFF board.

Ger_onimo 20,488 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Surely not. The problems this would cause would be catastrophic. Should spunk the whole lot on a solid gold statue of Bill Struth as soon as possible, as all those who put in will never, ever agree on how it should be spent.

If this is something they think is a legitimate expense to make with this money what else are they spending our money on?I had a bad feeling about this as soon as it first started getting mooted on forums, too much of our support are way too caught up in this anti-board stuff now, it's alarming.
