bauba30 1 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I knew this would open a can of worms, some valid points, I guess, taking away whether you agree with the songs or not, Rangers would be in a stronger place with him, add in Campbell Ogilvy as well to that equation.I disagree - you are only as strong as the direction you get from the top Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
minstral 5,375 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 It may be coincidence , but I believe the tide went against us as a club when Donald Findlay left the club, the board became spineless and no-one stood for the club against the accusations from the media and the tims. At least Donald you can hold your head high walk the street knowing you hold steadfast and intransigent against the wave of PC nonsense. You would have held people to account for the turning of the beating of hundreds of Rangers fans into some sort of Bigot fest for Rangers fans. With you we knew where we stood, alas no more.Keep the Faith - well it is getting harder.well said dummiesoot, he is one of our bigest losses, and all thats left behind is a board of cowards who will not defend our club or fans and would sell their grannys for a pound, they make me sick.Sorry - as smart as the guy was - he was a fool - first of all, he had to go - second of all, I am more concerned with the loss of performance on the park - that is the IMPORTANT area where Rangers have lost their wayWhy did he have to go ? For singing a song which is NOT sectarian ?Oh dear Oh dear what?Youre telling us the Sash is sectarian? Explain thatAt an event where he was representing the club, he chose to Sing the Sash - is it in your face sectarian? no - is it a subject matter and song that a Rangers official should be inging in public while representing the club - oh hell noTo be honest I never thought I would meet anyone that could defend that - but I guess I just think the best of folkmo johnston and dont forget he is a catholic got up and sang the sash at a player of the year ceremony and he was not forced to leave the club.Mo johnston wasnt the clubs legal representative So maybe his punishment was less and also kept behind close doors?he never got punished as there was no grasses that ran away to uefa,and complained like the anti rangers gang who love nothing better.

wronglypenalised 14 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 i think mr findlay is a cracking guy, i once caught the end of a gig he was doing at my local club and its got to be said that even though i cant recall the jokes and stories i can remember pissing myself laughing, and the thing with his routine is that he tells gags about many topics be it slagging the scummites, us bears, women etc. What the poor souls who complain about his lines forget, is all those factors as well. i managed to get a pic of him and me on my phone and had a quick word, he's a top bloke and we could do worse than try and tempt him back home imho!
