Decent odds amongst any group of people tbh. We've always knownthis is the case in our support, though. Mostly normal, decent folk that other groups of fans like to judge by the words and actions of the few twits. RDB14 and cbagan92 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly the amount of hoop jumping you are doing and angles you are trying to spin to prove yourself right that taking the knee is wrong is utterly embarrassing.

Its scary how much you think you should be able to tell other people what they can do, and what their intentions are when they do something. I hope you're never in the position where you criticise someone due to something they do and its perceived to be racist/sexist/bigoted etc. DiamondDan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibroxholm 2,276 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 1 hour ago, The Dude said: Did you miss the bit when James Tavernier said "this is a very simple, but we hope, effective gesture. It is a symbolic stance against racism, nothing more and nothing less."? Is he lying? I like Tav and think he means what he’s saying. However, I think he and the players are being naive in not realising the unnecessary divisions the use of this gesture may create. As a symbolic stance, I don’t think this is a positive move as it creates division when there is concensus on the primary issue (at least within the Rangers support).

YoungBill 46 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 3 minutes ago, berkshirebear said: Of course i support them. I wouldnt boo. I dont like the gesture though due to what else it associated with. Intentions matter surely.... Firstly I don’t see you as racist in any form. The challenge is to disassociate the gesture with BLM. They and their like, including government are giving us all a good using in this for there own selfish ends. I think this is simple, in our lads are making their stand against racism with this gesture and nothing to do with BLM. It transcends the politics and pretty basic tbh and I don’t see why we can’t support them in this and indeed, be loud and proud about it. It’s the right thing to do for the the right reason. Of course it comes at a time when we have all recently experienced the erosion of civil liberties and freedom of speech and pretty easy to have much angst on that, but don’t let it colour or prevent the support of what is a worthy cause. Racism is an abomination and we should all be heard. The ideals of BLM are a different matter and not for letting them stand in the way of what is right and what is the right thing to do.

Booing our own players making a gesture against racism is mind boggling. It's just cunts being cunts for the sake of it. Everyone knows what the taking the knee represents. If our players want to just parrot what players in England and the rest of the world are doing even after admitting its just a token gesture they can go ahead but acting like this is just black and white racist or not racist is just ridiculous People saying its just racism to boo it say so cause they want to end the discussion cause they know they'll look silly once the conversation begins. berkshirebear 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
