It's a decision based on what you think is best for the club, or worst for Ashley. Any that make the decision on their own fair enough. Many are mongo sheep. I've lost count how many times I've read someone ask others if they should buy the top to be told no by other fans. FF is dreadful for it then they end up buying their child some shit fake top instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally you might be right but I'd imagine they would support English sides Ha I joined rangersmedia last year when I moved to London. I got a few low post counts initially but thought by now that would have gone. I'm realistic to accept that my son (6) will probably be a Spurs or arsenal fan by going to school in North London. In Glasgow the alternative schoolyard influence is naturally celtic so while it saddens me to hear, I have to admit that it's not that surprising.

JB65 1 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I was talking to some mates about this recently and I think it is harder to get kids into following Rangers now because they have no heroes wearing the jersey. When my kids were at that young age it was easy to get them into it, Laudrup, Gascoigne, McCoist and Albertz all idols to my kids. Thank fuck I don't have to try and persuade them now.

cr3_bear 14,892 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 We might lose fair weather supporters but rangers fans from dyed in the wool rangers families who get what it is all about will never be lost . Anyone who changes between us and them can go fuck themselves as far as I am concerned . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been slightly plausible had the kids been from some quiet village far away from Glasgow but the fact he is saying Glasgow is making it even more unbelievable. In Glasgow, you know what you are and jumping the dyke should be a hanging offence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackal 548 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 There are amateur and junior teams from the Royston area who have fans at the side waiving Ireland flags and hating all things rangers. Find it weird when taking in some games of teams who play against them that there teams are full of so called rangers supporters. It's no just the kids.

Bluebrows 42 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Lad in work was talking about something similar the other day. He has a teenage son who is more interested in watching and talking about the EPL which is fair enough. But mentioned that all his sons mates have Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal etc strips, no interest in Scottish football whatsoever, most have never been to a Scottish football stadium and are more interested in trying to get there mums and and dads to take them to an EPL game. I fully understand why this is happening, TV etc. but it's a total shame that young lads from Glasgow have no interest in either side of the Old Firm.

I know, I stopped buying replica tops for myself as I didn't want to line Ashley's pocket. That was my own choice, I won't let my four year old go without though as how do you explain to him? Aw here son I've got you a snide Rangers tap, you'll never see the team wear it but at least the bad man gets no money. Fuck that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number5 2,122 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 When I come back up the road it amazes me how many kids are wearing Chelsea, Utd, Arsenal strips. The absolute shite level of our game both at club and international level is so unattractive to the next generation. Sky, Fifa etc making it far more appealing to follow the top 4 English teams than either of the old firm. I imagine the OP is on the wind-up. Can't see how a family of Bears would/could allow their kids to follow them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
