minstral 5,375 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Where is the club that once I loved Where are my beloved Rangers For what I see at Ibrox Park Leaves me feeling like a stranger For the things which we once cherished In those bygone days of yore They are now “missing in action” Replaced by things I do abhor Yet there was a time when our club Was synonymous with the truth We were the family of the Rangers So epitomised by Mr Struth How I long for those days to come again When we shall stand united Together against our enemies Who would see our name so blighted. For those in power have a legacy A sacred trust to fulfil and maintain About remaining true to Ibrox tradition Are you listening Martin Bain ? Does “unstinted support” stir your blood Do you understand “unbroken devotion” With every breath will you defend the Rangers Is that such an alien notion ? And what of you Mr Murray The chairman of this shrine Have you endeavoured to defend this club When our enemies do combine Have you honoured the traditions set out for you Have you faced our adversaries head on Are the Rangers haters sent packing Or from the battle have you withdrawn For every day as I read Those haters have free reign Page on page of damage and lies I wish you could feel my pain Come feel the rage which within me burns At the sacred trust now broken At your failure to defend our club With responses no more than token. But I, and thousands like me Will not forget the shrine Our lives it is the Rangers Not some vineyard for our wine That sacred trust we will uphold With every ounce of breath And proudly upon our headstones Will read “A Ranger unto death” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Manticore* 1,893 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 bollocks the club is still here and always will be Aye 'The Rangers of Glasgow', the ones who play in blue will always be here. Some of us think RFC is more than that - more than a Club. When they come after us for being bigots for singing 'Bluebells are Blue' will you wake up and smell the coffee?

Nah he's a 'proudist', it is an obscure philosophical School of Thought, based around the thinking of Pierre Joseph Proudhon, the founder of Anarchism.
