British_Empire 9,648 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Hate that cunt more than I hate Aberdeen. He's done every bit as much to rip the heart out of our club as the other clowns have since 2012 - all in different ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast 9,182 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Just now, The Dude said: Of course it is. It's a statement from Rangers' managing director on Rangers' website. He's hardly going to be addressing celtic and Aberdeen fans there. So why include the Morelos abuse in the same statement as he's warning some Rangers fans about their behaviour? Can't you see how this open goal could have been easily avoided? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canabear 4,558 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 We all have views on this situation and everyone's points should be listened to but they're not which is half the problem here. It's one view and that's it. The one question that hasn't been asked yet and i'd love to know who will take the initiative here. When will this taking the knee stop and who'll say ok enough is enough the point has been made? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that no-one wants to be first just as no-one wants to not join in because the woke cancel culture extremists would crucify them.

Won't stop until the white supremacists have all been dethroned from their positions of power and black people rule the world. If you want to go by BLM that is.

When will this taking the knee stop and who'll say ok enough is enough the point has been made? I can't imagine it will be anytime soon when players are actively still being racially abused. It's clear some fans don't like it, but I would say for the time being (and a while to come yet) it will be ongoing, I would expect it to still be ongoing when fans return to games.

There was nothing at all stopping the club making two distinct statements that would have addressed each issue separately and not allow the anti Rangers feeding frenzy in the media that we are seeing today and that will be trotted out in the future.

That will be the litmus test and that , after the first game if it's still going on , should be the last time it's done. Just my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton has publicly spoken about it several times and has said he disagrees but understands their reasoning as they are firmly behind stopping racism. Utterly scathing.

I would be pretty surprised if it did stop then, I would expect it to go on for a while yet then likely ongoing, could see it replacing the give racism the red card process which has really been a bit shite.
