  1. Both clubs would only have themselves to blame if they were docked points. It's wishful thinking to think the SFA or SPFL would have the bollocks to take such action against rangers or celtic. Who do you support?
  2. I used to be in to running, regularly doing 2 or 3 10ks per week and ran a marathon too but nowadays I do next to nothing. I need to get back on it after some health issues
  3. This is exactly what needs to happen Malcolm thinks rangers are doing enough though🤣
  4. Seriously, are you this ignorant? I'm being serious here. I've encountered some unbelievably ignorant old firm fans in the past but never someone who claims to support another team They're not unequivocal in their condemnation of sectarianism bigotry at all. They say they are appalled and them blame society for it. What could rangers do? They could start issuing lifetime bans to those who sing bigoted songs or abuse catholic players. they could stop pandering to the bigots. When they condemn sectarian bigotry its half arsed and always diluted at the end of the statement see the example below, they start off well but end terribly. This is not a societal issue, there's almost always one set of supporters at the heart of it. Following an incident on Sunday, we repeat that Rangers FC condemns all forms of racism, sectarianism and discrimination. "We are working with the police to identify any season ticket holders. "As a club, we are proud of our Everyone Anyone campaign, led through the Rangers Charity Foundation, our work with a wide range of stakeholders and our on-going dialogue with the Scottish Government. Discrimination of all forms is a societal issue within Scotland. "Those with influence within Scottish discourse should put their energy into eradicating this very serious issue across all sections of Scottish society who suffer sectarianism, discrimination and racism of any form." If you genuinely believe rangers are doing enough or are not part of the problem then I cam only conclude you are extremely ignorant and you are definitely part of the problem.
  5. They fuel it by doing next to nothing to stop it. Why? Because they know it makes them money and fuels the rivalry with the other side. By doing nothing they encourage it. Rangers wouldn't even sign catholics till late last century, that's almost 100 years of anti catholic bigotry, that's not going to be erased as soon as they sign a catholic and release the odd statement The realease of orange kits, that isn't s tribute to Dutch players, anyone who thought that is an idiot. I'll give you one positive, it was a start to see Rangers ban those black march idiots recently but for me it's 25 years too late and they're only doing it because others have started to highlight racism and bigotry Frankly I'm amazed you need to ask the question, if you weren't a rangers fan and had been following Scottish football for 45 years you wouldn't need to ask this question unless you are ignorant beyond belief EdIT I'd also add that Rangers fuel bigotry by continuously pointing the finger at celtic or claiming its a minority. 50k rangers fans singing anti catholic songs is not a minority, its a large portion of their hardcore support.
  6. Your under no obligation to engage with the debate and you can post something about football if you want. I think it's important to highlight this and educate people. In England they've not fucked around. Chelsea are investigating and looking to ban the twat in question, it's been brought up on national TV kick it out are putting pressure on too. If that were in Scotland it would be brushed under the carpet with statements about the other side are worse. Rangers are at a cross roads. They rightly showed solidarity with Kamara after he was racially abused but this opened a cam of worms for them because they now have to tackle an issue they should've tackled 20 years ago..........sectarian bigotry
  7. Go ahead and post the videos, they'd be irrelevant to this discussion unless your aim is just to point the finger at the other side to dilute the problem. You've got to love the apologists Scotland player is abused by sectarian bigot who is 99% certain to support a certain club and we get the usual from apologists..... Anti Rangers agenda - check But but but ra sellick do it anaw- check It's the individuals, Rangers have nothing to do with the club - check. The only one missing is, its a Scottish society problem
  8. I don't believe you, your defence of Rangers and their role in sectarian bigotry is embarrassing, no self respecting non old firm fan would defend it or in your case broch it under the carpet the way you have.
  9. No, you're making up nonsense about vendettas Rangers have nothing to do with sectarianism...... im still laughing in disbelief that a non Rangers fan would think that. 🤣
  10. Oh sure, you're acting like someone who doesn't care. 🤣🤣🤣
  11. And there ends the conversation. You are part of the problem.
  12. The club is important because Rangers are right are at the heart of the sectarian problem in Scotland. Saying this does not mean there is a vendetta against rangers, it means they have a huge problem with sectarian bigots among their support
  13. This isn't rangers bashing.its highlighting a bigoted rangers fan for erm being a bigoted arsehole towards a scotland player. You then piped up with but but but celtic are just as bad.
  14. Away and have a word with yourself. I'm well known for saying both fans are as bad as each other but in this instance there's fuck all need to bring celtic or any other club into it. Vendetta against rangers 🤣🤣🤣utter bollocks, it's you who's pathetic here for making shite like that up. A bigoted rangers fan abuses a Scotland player it's highlighted by someone on here and now there's a vendetta against rangers and their poor fans🤣🤣🤣 We've gone from agenda to a vendetta 🤣
  15. Ryan Christie started for Bournemouth tonight. Dykes started for QPR against Bournemouth Both subbed off in 2nd half. Neither scored
  16. Nobody tarred all supporters with the same brush but what there's plenty of is the likes of you and a small minority playing the whataboutery game.
  17. Ah I see, I assumed it was confirmed, admittedly I've not paid enough attention.
  18. where is the right place? The reason there are digs at rangers is because they are right at the heart of the sectarian problem in scotland
  19. Why would we need another section to highlight a scotland player being subjected to sectarian abuse? its a perfectly valid post, the only people with a problem are those who can't handle seeing their clubs or its supporters in a negative light
  20. Absolutely this Ignoring the issue is why its still hanging around
