Virtuoso 27,180 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 11 hours ago, K.A.I said: The SNP are rabid fucking bheasts as you can see from them falling over themselves to have a pop at Rangers and our support in that article. Yet some 'Rangers fans' still vote for them? The time has been for quite some time that you need to pick a side here - the SNP and their wee cause or Rangers. Of course there's people who vote for these guys and still claim to support Rangers but in my eyes they are no supporters of Rangers. If they vote SNP then they have made their decision and it's to our detriment. It's us and them. Literally is. Being ignorant to them and their ways is no excuse for any Rangers fan - especially when it's laid out like that in front of their eyes and they still choose to ignore the hatred for us. 'J' -I've been banging this drum for years, on here and elsewhere, unfortunately there's an element of our support who blindly follow the Scottish Natzis and separate the two issues. The fact is, as you mention, there's no separating them, it's either or. Funnily enough (or maybe not) the Scottish Republicans have decided to avoid this thread like the plague Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't tell anyone how to vote, just to make people aware that the party in power is no friend to us, and that everything is one way. I also feel uncomfortable being called certain things by elected politicians under the guise of "banter". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so should Rangers supporters who are non protestant, non - loyalists, SNP supporters - rise up and tell our government to fuck off with stereotyping Rangers fans as bigoted knuckle draggers? would that be a good thing?

Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 The SNP has decided to introduce football as an important factor in its political agenda to the attempted detriment of our football team which just goes to show how little and out of touch that fucked up little krankie is but to allow them bastards to create a split in our support is wrong. Rangers are a broad church and that compliments our club which show why it is and always will be the biggest and best club in Scotland. Let little Krankie and her fucked up wee soldiers continue their agenda, it's going no where and certainly doesn't have anywhere near enough power to affect Rangers. Our club has been through a lot of shit lately but I don't believe that wee krankie has the power to have had anything to do with it. The gobshite is losing and we don't need to involve our club to keep that as the status quo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely would be a good thing. Why would it not be? Especially if said supporters were members of the SNP . I do believe that in the eyes of the Scottish government that is their viewpoint. Every support has its element of idiots, but you rarely if ever hear public condemnation of any support other than our own. I though, will be letting my point of view be known through my choice at election time. My local MPs are not worth a jot. They are corrupt and they act like a mafia.

As I have said before, we are supporters far and wide and I struggle with fellow supporters lambasting others for their political or religious beliefs - in fact - the words of "Follow Follow" where we sing "though the straits be broad or narrow, follow we will" alludes to the fact that we follow on - despite the route being so narrow it will make things difficult........ I can't for the life of me understand then why fellow bears won't accept others who don't fit that stereotype of a Rangers fan? it's actually food and drink for our haters!

Bigdave30 9,188 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Can you imagine instead of an SNP party member it was a Tory and you changed the missused slang from ‘H**’ to ‘fenian’? There would be a fucking national witch hunt across the media instead of the sweep sweep treatment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds_Bear 8,299 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 The SNP, like UKIP, are a party who divide to conquer. You're seeing this strategy in full effect with the victimisation of the Rangers support in recent years. Create simplistic and crude divides in society (in this case if you support Rangers you're a nazi), to galvanise support. It's a political strategy I've never thought to be healthy for a well rounded society. There is a reason Labour and Conservative have been so successful over the years, they've always had elements of their legislation which appeals to a broader spectrum of the population.

He must have missed the abuse Eddie Jones received a few weeks ago not to mention the head butts, eye gouges, fingers up the delicates, punches, kicks, forearm smashes, spheres that regularly happen on the field. I quite like Rugby to be fair but it's just as bad or good, whatever way you look at it, as football. There's just less interest and coverage in rugby. It's certainly not the elite gentleman sport some would claim it to be. As for this guy he's totally at it. One of those wee attention seeking wannabe social media like me like me whores.
