That goes on during a televised public football match is there to be scrutinised by those outside that club, particularly in the case of Rangers where we have a national media too cowardly/friendly to question anything that goes on there - something which has caused more harm to Rangers and their fans than anybody else.

Really I don't see any bears going on to the tic thread and saying how disgraceful or anything untoward about the GB waiting on the concourse on Saturday Notice the difference
BhoscaCapall wrote: » Oh come off it, don't sit there and have the cheek to deny the succulent lamb brigade. You can sweep everything else under the rug, dismiss every other accusation as paranoia and conspiracy theory but you cannot deny the massive culture of toeing the Ibrox line in the Scottish media. The fact you've had to mention two media outlets outside of the Scottish circus says it all. The fact Rangers fans were reduced to a snarling violent rage when C4 and the BBC had the sheer cheek to report honestly on the scandals at Ibrox says it all. This should be one thing Rangers fans can actually side with everybody else on. The Scottish media led you astray for years. By all means, if you would like to criticise some people for quietly choosing not to take part in a commemoration for people they do not want to commemorate then go ahead, you will only make yourself look extremely silly. That is proper barrel scraping right there. "They didn't ruin the minute's silence, so let's criticise them for not ruining the minute's silence". On you go Mr Leckie :rolleyes:

I find it funny you get all offended by a Scottish / British club doing something on remember wince weekend it is there right whether joy line it or not
BhoscaCapall wrote: » lol touched a nerve obviously, sorry but as long as your club continues with debatable practises off the park they will be questioned. It's not as if ridicule for your match performances aren't forthcoming either. There you go again deciding that other people are offended. Straw man nonsense I'm afraid. There is a notable difference between finding something pathetic or embarrassing and being offended by it.

BhoscaCapall wrote: » I haven't complained about it or said they shouldn't be able to do it. I have laughed at it and found it pathetic. I understand that it would probably be easier for you to deal with my opinion if I was actually offended or complaining, but unfortunately that isn't the case, sorry.

Broxi_Bear_Eire wrote: » For someone not offended I reckon this the third thread or is it only the second you had to mention it. See this is the reason right at the start when it was mentioned I said it was pointless as we are never going to agree on this no matter the reasons and to be honest I couldn't give a monkeys if you are offended or not its immaterial And it certainly won't change anything in my life
Coillte_Bhoy wrote: » What? How is that disgraceful? Do they not have any freedom of choice now? So they should have been forced to go in and respect the silence? Sums up the nasty farce the whole thing has become. And of course your club and fans have that freedom as well, doesnt mean we cant laugh at how pathetic it is, glorifying an army involved in overseas wars of occupation on a day thats supposed to be about rememberance

Broxi_Bear_Eire wrote: » And that was wrong but it was the Mail of course it should be about choice if someone doesn't want to wear one that should be that also of people do then so should they
Dempsey wrote: » in fairness, glorification of the british army through the day of rememberance isnt a rangers thing. there is a huge level of facism after creeping in which is been driven by the media. just look at the article in the mail or telegraph highlight mclean not wearing it and o shea changing his shirt at ht which had no poppy. that, all the ****e over twitter comments means freedom of speech is something nearly lost on the british these days.

I don't wear a poppy, i don't take part in any pomp and ceremony regarding armistace day. But it sure as **** isnt the big deal some of you lot are making out to be. "Oh but there was a gun on the pitch!" Shock ****ing horror lads, the army, by definition use guns. get over it. In the past i've seen small town fete's proudly shoing of tanks and other such creations. I might not be entirely comfortable with it, but who am i to tell these people that their interest in it is wrong?
