I’m starting to think the inhabitants of Rangers Media are trolling. There’s a thread on there about players wearing Rainbow laces. It’s frightening in the 21st century! http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/topic/311990-rangers-players-to-show-support-to-josh-windass-on-saturday/ I’m always genuinely shocked that it’s a public forum given the content. (I do understand it’s not representative of the entire Rangers support and reasonable opinions get shouted down by the morons, but it is funny (is that the right word?)) Sorry but I couldn't read much of that thread. The quality of the English and appalling spelling were just too much. Every post was hopeless. I did find myself agreeing on one point though. Why? I have absolutely no issue with anyones sexuality but what has it to do with football? Also if we are doing things like this then why didn't we arrange something to coincide with the Pride march earlier in the year? At least then we'd have been topical.

Because rampant homophobia in all areas of professional football has made it impossible for LBGT players to "come out", maybe? To try and make football less of a horrible and lonely place for gay players, maybe? To show knuckle draggers like those in that thread that their bigotry isn't wanted, nor acceptable, maybe? Or we can just keep pretending that professional football is some incredible statistical anomaly and there really are almost zero gay players... After all, it's nothing to do with football.

slasher Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Dunno if rainbow laces will do any actual good but it can't hurt. I'll say one thing though, its high time we had some female officials in the game..........they cannae possibly be any worse than the men! 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been female lines people in SPL games at RP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get all of that Parky but Rainbow laces won't make a blind bit of difference, in my opinion. Especially if only worn for one game. Some proper support mechanisms in place might help and some serious effort being put into communication on a regular and consistent basis would be more worthwhile.

Probably a bit of both. Impossible to tell in advance. Chances are they'll get paid less. Edited November 15, 2017 by Pool Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you do "get" it, otherwise you wouldn't have said "what's it got to do with football"? It's about changing a culture of homophobia and intolerance. It sounds pathetic to be saying this in 2017, but it's about showing people (both fans and those employed in football) that there's nothing "wrong" with being gay and that it doesn't make a blind bit of difference. Rainbow laces and open shows of support isn't the beginning and end of the solution, it can certainly be part of it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said if they're worn for one game then it's pointless. If you read the last paragraph of my previous post you'll see that my point is we need a comprehensive campaign, which is in effect agreeing with you.

I think they're currently worth a fair bit more than that. So unlikely to be many takers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccaughey85 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Perhaps someone could explain in simplistic terms what exactly is going on here in regards why he has to offer to buy shares, and if he actually has the money to buy these shares, and would anyone realistically sell.
