If only it worked both ways though, seen him getting quite a few snide comments on his twitter today for the audacity of attending our game, admittedly not all of the comments from the other side were snidey. For a lot of them it seems as if it's fine for any celebrity to support them but hell mend any celebrity who supports us.

Genuinely understand why he isn't putting #WATP up on Twitter every other day. A nice subtle touch wearing his Rangers scarf with his suit last night. ? bluedylan, superally07 and Siam69 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl appears quite respectful of others but the minute he wears our scarf at one of our games then out come the insults, not as if he was giving it big licks kissing a Rangers chain or crying on TV when we won.

bluedylan 11,555 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 For anybody interested BBC NI had a great documentary on him about 10 days ago,it should be available to watch on catchup.It is a warts and all fly on the wall type documentary leading up to his last fight.

However, we as a fan base don't chase celebrity culture - look at the abuse Lyndsey Sharp after when she appeared at Ibrox with her CW medals. Sickening stuff.

Correct mate, we don't beg for people to love us and make up tales of speshul relationships. They are happy to latch onto anybody who shows a wee interest in them but turn on people who do likewise for us, me personally couldn't give a fuck who supports them Terry Hurlock Loyal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudrupsleftfoot 11,215 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Carl is a Northern Irish legend but this thread should be cross-referenced with the "hype around the club and new fans" thread, some in here had a hissy fit in there about exactly what Carl has done/is doing.

Ok fair point about anyone who have been a supporter of another club suddenly taking an interest. I was more on about the posts about the European nights being for fans who went to Annan etc., or posts about those who dropped their interest for 6 years that are now picking it back up Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strathaven_Loyal 125 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Frampton’s always been a big blue nose. He used to post on the old Eastsideboxing forum years ago and i remember him winding up some of the Irish posters in there when they were trying to arrange a forum meet up and Carl suggested they meet in the Sandy Row Rangers Club ? Like someone else said, he’s not a bigot but he’s a genuine Rangers fan and whilst he doesn’t scream it from the rooftops all the time he’s never, ever hid it either. plumbGER 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Both Frampton and his Missus are Humanists,he's from the Loyalist Tiger's Bay area of North Belfast. His local team Crusaders beat their close rivals (Cellik wannabees) Cliftonville lastnight 3-2 so a good week for the Jekyll? plumbGER and bluedylan 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
