Carsons Dog 9,878 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 It would be interesting to see how many Rangers fans actually go to church. A very small minority I would guess. I think I know of one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace 3,556 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Rangers as a club require TV money, no matter how little it is, to sustain it as a viable business. This is a non-starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
polar bear 0 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 No more games on a Sunday. The Sabbath is sacred....we should observe it. I hate Sunday football with a passion. 3pm Saturday,and 7.30pm Wednesdays for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, if I understand it correctly, the "adultery" forbidden in the Ten Commandments refers to any sex with someone you're not married to, not just adultery in the modern sense of cheating on your spouse.

plymouthranger 3,887 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Firstly i am an athiest, but i agree with D'art! As a club with a protestant heritage, we should refuse to play on sundays. Not only because it is the "sabbath" day, but also because Ulster bears cannot make the games due to work on mondays... Playing on sunday kicks the active and past heritage of our club, right in the bollocks if you ask me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccoist355 4 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 No more games on a Sunday. The Sabbath is sacred....we should observe it. There is no God - was Septic's title-win last season after all their grave-robbing antics not proof enough of that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasGers 96 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Consistent with Rangers Protestant heritage? If playing on a Sunday gets the club money/exposure from TV, then I'm all for it. Plenty of sports around the world are played on Sundays. And if you are trying to honor Rangers Protestant heritage, does that mean we have to get rid of the Catholic/Muslim/etc. players that are currently in the squad? The bottom line is that Rangers are a business, and whenever religion and business mix, its usually not the best result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom line is that Rangers are a business, and whenever religion and business mix, its usually not the best result. How did you come to that conclusion? Well I would assume that Mendes, Novo, Aaron were brought up as Catholics, seeing as Portugal/Spain have about 80% Catholics. Papac is a Bosnian Croat, so I would assume he was brought up in Catholicism. Darcheville was born in French Guiana in the Carribbean, where the main religion is Catholicism. Hemdani and Bougherra are of Algerian origins, where Islam is the dominant religion. In addition, Dean Furman was born into a Jewish family. Whether or not these players actively practice religion I don't know, but that's how I came to that conclusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimenez 1 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 No thanks. I like everyone else would like to see Rangers at 3pm every Saturday but we need T.V. money to compete. I'm happy to acknowledge our protestant heritage and celebrate it, I come from a protestant background and it's certainly nothing I'm ashamed of but my ideas on how the world works has moved on. If Rangers need to play games on a Sunday as do everyone else in the Scottish league I couldn't care less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
