Popular Post drewgardiner88 317 Posted August 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2019 With all going on recently I want to know why is it seen by kids as cool to wear Gaelic or septic tops yet very rarely see kids wear Rangers tops. I'm talking more so in NI where I live. When I was wee I never had my Gers kit off and loads my mates were the same. I actually took my wee boy to the park the other day and a guy I knew asked him who he supported and he shouted Rangers. Later on the guy comes to me and says you should maybe teach him not to shout that out in public. No chance I said he will never be ashamed of who he is and who he supports. With all this bollocks in media now what songs and words we can and can't say, what colours we can and can't wear is it any wonder the next generation of Rangers fans esp in NI tend to just wear EPL kits. Our PR... and I don't just mean Rangers, I mean the whole lot with our unionist/orange culture is abysmal and we are in massive danger of it being wiped out all together unless we can change the toxic narrative the media has put on us. Has anyone experienced or noticed similar? Or even better any solutions to stop the rot!

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 You’ve kind of answered your own question mate. 👍👍 We had a Fenian councillor over here that started a Facebook page appealing to parents not to let their kids be bigots don’t let them wear a Rangers top. drewgardiner88 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our culture and our football club being pushed out of mainstream culture. Rather than fighting back I more and more see the attitude to hide your identity. Don't wears Rangers shirt in case you offend the Catholic family etc etc. I live in NI so maybe a wee bit diff then all the Scots bears face but always been a big support back home for Rangers.
