Virtuoso 27,180 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 From FF: Quote First class summary by a Rangers Facebook page showing the absolute Timplosion that could erupt should the SFA actually add more league titles instead of taking them away! So in what way could officially counting Second World War records in Scottish Football between 1939/40-1945/46 affect Rangers? Well, its all positive. Rangers would officially be the first club in Scotland to win Nine In A Row between 1938/39-1946/47 pushing us up from 54 league titles to 61 leaving just 5 league titles between 1895/96, 1897/98, 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2015/16 still classed as unofficial. If we got them to be official Rangers would in total have won 66 league titles in their 145 year history. Dougie Gray would become Rangers record appearance holder at 940 appearances taking over from John Greig on 755 appearances and Ally McCoist's goal scoring record of 355 goals for Rangers would be overtaken by Jimmy Smith on 381 goals. Unfair to every club in Scottish Football that World War One records are officially registered, yet World War Two records are not. Time to recognise the FULL history of Rangers Football Club and Scottish Football. #ADDTHETITLES https://www.facebook.com/TheRangersFootballClubLtd Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't bheast fc have titles added that were originally excluded. There was also something regarding goals during that period. I'm sure there was an article on here about it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKirk 25,631 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I think we should push this until the SFA agree to do it then withdraw our request out of respect for the servicemen/woman . Cunts would be on suicide watch Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 While i don't agree with the idea, would be interesting what the plastic paddies would say about this given their hatred for all things related to British Armed Forces. Would they take the stance that respect should be shown for these years or continue their hatred? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
