Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Just now, big blue Fin said: Our wonderful completely agenda free council have to shoulder the blame for the state of the area around Ibrox. The rhebel however could have used a photo showing areas a lot worse but why miss a chance for a sly dig at us. Probably the only folk that will recognise Ibrox from that angle is us and the scum. I can see your point that once you know it’s Ibrox, then it could show that the Rangers fan base are all from a certain demographic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has a picture of a young mother and child walking past Ibrox have to do with low income families? What is the point the journo is trying to make ? Why not use a picture of Govanhill etc where families on low income live ? We would be laughing if it had been a picture of the scumdome.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,815 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Everyone knows what it is, it's a means of linking something negative (poverty) to us for no reason other than their hatred and they enjoy antagonizing us. Dehumanization was a very accurate term for it, I'm sure D'art did an article not too long ago. Our club is in a good place right now, and they hate it. Expect things to get cranked up against the club, support, SG himself as the weeks pass. They need to find a way to get under our skin as a club and they're struggling. Which pleases me no end. I feel their pain and smell their fear. We're coming. Malkster, trueblue 64, Bobby Hume and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think the pic of the state aid funded scum way or whatever it's called would have the same impact of expressing poverty. 35 Yard Dangerman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LochendBilly 8,413 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 They have to be very careful what they print about the glitterdome due to the "Injunction" whereas we are fair game for the bastards. Call me paranoid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any one of us could walk less than half a mile and find evidence of deprivation far more relevant. Ibrox and it's close proximity arguably have less evident poverty and deprivation than many other parts of Govan. That particular image isn't used to represent Govan (also far from worst area in Glasgow) it's to link the issue to us.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,815 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 "The research brands Glasgow’s Canal ward as the most deprived area of the last 40 years, taking in Possilpark, Milton and Ruchill. The council ward which featured most often was Calton, including Bridgeton and Dalmarnock - and Calton had six of the 100 most deprived 'cells' in Britain. Easterhouse, Pollok and Springburn were also named in the study". https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-news/almost-half-deprived-areas-glasgow-14910441.amp&ved=2ahUKEwjd95frqPvcAhVCCsAKHRzGCrIQFjACegQICBAB&usg=AOvVaw0aksiWYgeLc10lbDTtVrf0 Plenty schemes to choose from, images to use, messages to convey.. ....

The Dude 20,026 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Totally an agenda here. Obviously everybody will recognise that’s Ibrox regardless of it being photographed from an angle that is rarely seen and will make the link that Rangers are dirt poor despite spending millions of pounds on players this summer. Everyone knows we haven’t got a pot to piss in and are getting by on crisis loans every week and apparently our name is now used in some parts of the country as a colloquialism for being skint.
