British_Empire 9,648 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 So HE IS part of the initiative and HE DID say what was reported in the video? Have I read his statement correctly? He says he wasn't there in an official capacity. That's not the problem. It's saying what he said (and what he also implied) as someone with ties to the club through this campaign. So the only real difference in his clarification is that he was introduced as the creator of the project, which he isn't - he's "only" involved with it. At least he's had the balls to come out and clarify, but it's still not good enough. Get him to fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendofCoop 17,248 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 This is what happens when the club pander to the masses. Stick to our own fucking guns and don't meddle in 'politics'.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 After being introduced (incorrectly) as the innovator of the Everyone Anyone initiative you'd think he'd be careful with his words. Massively disappointing he got dragged down by those around him who wanted to hear what he ended up saying. Fair fucks for apologising and setting the record straight, but sadly the damage was done.

What was wrong with The Follow With Pride campaign? Foisting that campaign upon us last season out the blue, basically suggests that we have a problem as a club that needs addressed. It might have been a pre-emptive strike when we got charged for so-called "racism" after the St Pats game, if so it's served it's purpose - it can be binned.

If he really regrets his use of the that phrase and really values the integrity of his campaign he should resign, not mildly double down like that. He's used us a vehicle for his own wee agenda and slurred us. His position is untenable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirkiebear 1,013 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Says more about Scotland really that a black guy speaking at a black lives matter protest gets heckled because of his association with Rangers. Country is poisonous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where the incompetence of the people running our club have backed us into a corner. As Esky rightly said the other day (maybe even yesterday) if we (the club) get rid of him, it makes us look terrible in a PR-light. It can look to the twisted masses, baying for blood and a media cabal that's went absolutely nuts that we are somehow against racial inequality. We can't win. That's why I'd be looking at him to resign (or remove himself from whatever work he does/still to do with it) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage may well have been done, but I doubt the Rangers fanbase rounding on a black supporter in relation to something like this is likely to make things better in this climate. He's at least apologised and praised the club for it's actions. I'd leave it af that. I think it'll only get worse, PR wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought that too if he never said "I'm here to help the club change" or words to that effect. That's what makes me think he's got future input/work to do with it. Fair enough on the rest. You could be right. It's a PR-nightmare no matter how it's played out. Hopefully lessons learned all round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully lessons learned all round. I would suggest that he stays a part of the project, it will be more benifical to the club than just immediately dumping him! I believe that the guys just made a cunt of it, should he come out with any further statements that denigrate the club then I would expect the club to challenge his views.

Cunts on here defending him and saying he had no part in it as well😂 He’s literally on our fucking website 😂. Knew exactly what he was doing, like the majority who slander us do.
