Darth Bear 15,726 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 We always knew that 55 would make them lose the plot but they have gone on to fully fledged insanity. There is not enough professional help in the world for these cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't just a few 'dying papers' or 'people who already hate us' reporting on this, I don't think 'belief' should really come into it. This is huge brand and reputational damage. I'm not suggesting we should be on the front foot right now due to legalities, but it comes across as very 'shrugs shoulders'. 100%. Club need to intelligently fight back. No taking away from the fact that some utter scum sullied our name in George Square (I'd like us to own that, and the other shite that went on), but addressing the clear opportunism that's come from it. The subsequent dishonest witchunt on social media, regular media and government. The differences in approach when other fans do the same thing.

GM63 2,301 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Lets not forget the police investigation, will trace that ridiculous name (sectarian in itself) and where it came from, the waste of public money that will be used to get forensic sound analysts in to meticulously breakdown every noise in the video will result in a lot of apologies (not) when our players are cleared. What sad sad little people they are that they actually insult their own direct line to their god to put us down and show us in a bad light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club’s response and their minions is making me want to blow my brains out. It was the main headline on both the BBC & STV news tonight. It’s starting to gain traction down south as well, noticed Fraser Nelson of the Spectator RT’ing a couple of negative things earlier. The club openly state that the bloggers will ‘insulate’ the club (in return for access to Ibrox) but it’s a totally flawed strategy when it comes to days like today. And we’ve alienated pretty much every journo in the country, including Rangers supporting journos, so they are more than happy to stick the boot in rather than help the club. It’s a fucking shambles.

Tugay17 Battery 107 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Definitely think the club should bring in some sort of legal representation. Maybe Donald Findley despite his ridiculous comments when we were demoted to the Third divisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomatasauce 1,253 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 You can’t defend the actions of the dafties cutting about amongst the decent people, Rangers fans or not, some of the things I seen are an embarrassment and there was absolutely no reason for any Rangers fan to feel embarrassed this year the shit I seen videos of reminded me of Manchester, an amazing 2 days then after the match, all hell broke loose and it was a toxic environment, 7 of us walking through the city centre and we all had the same thoughts, let’s get to fuck back to the hotel before we either get the jail or end up fighting with other Rangers fans, sad how these things go but it was predictable when you took in the circumstances at the weekend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
