Belfast Owl 2 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 13 minutes ago, Rangers_1986 said: Thank you for calling us our official name "The Rangers Football Club". I know a lot of fans of other Scottish clubs, mistakenly, think that they are being clever and derogatory about our club when they call us "The Rangers", as they seem to think we were renamed this. However, as you can see from the attached, we have always been called The Rangers. Your point about a "bunch of bigots" isn't really valid either, every club in the land has a minority of idiots that spoil things at times, Rangers have them and I'm sure Wednesday are no different. The vast majority of us want to come down, be respectful of our hosts and enjoy the experience. Well theres one The Rangers fan who doesn't mind that name... And minority of idiots? Get your head out of the sand Like your ugly sister your existence is entrenched in bigotry. It is based on religious hatred and this leads to the continuation of sectarian mindsets in Northern Ireland and Scotland I see all the time the consequences of your so called club If you don't support Rangers then you're a catholic and vice versa. Neither club does anything but encourage that stereotype which leads to people getting kickings Your fans songbook is disgusting and in 2017 you proudly belt it out But yeah WATP and all that Your scum club isn't welcome in my eyes and the same for Celtic Lets hope you go bust again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningaround Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) dont see any issue in passionate fans bringing additional income to the club, sure vast majority will behave and enjoy the celebrations with us. They will get to go to a proper old school away ground and tbh Rangers are up there for big clubs for me.

It wouldn't make any difference, they're in the Norrh now and can only use an extra 1500 or so. Theyre putting too many restrictions on us. I can only imagine they want all Rangers fans to enter at Leppings Lane and it's a number of turnstiles issue. If that hat is the case we should open the West for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't go if you don't like it, but stop banging on about it, others will go and probably enjoy themselves. You've made your opinion known now, so just leave it at that, ranting about bigoted this, bigoted that won't change anything we will play Rangers and they will bring thousands, you make your choice either go or don't. I respect your opinion but your like a Jeehovahs witness trying to push it on others who maybe don't share your opinion. Just let it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While so many of our fans indulge in a love fest and are in awe of them Why the hell would I complain to the club If you look at my previous posts, I've said that I find it healthy to educate yourself with another club's history and culture when you visit them. You're the one tarring a whole group of people with the same brush. There's only one bigot here and it isn't me. I'm 30 years old and I've been going to Ibrox (sitting in the same seat) since I was 4, I feel I'm qualified to say the vast majority of Rangers supporters are decent people who just want to go follow their team every week. I would go further and say the vast majority of Celtic supporters are decent people who just want to follow their team every week. Due to the size of the two clubs, the number of supporters, the minority of idiots seem like a lot, but they don't represent the whole club. I went to the UEFA cup final and then stopped off at Celtic Park on my way back so that I could tie my scarf to the railings and pay tribute to Tommy Burns (ex celtic legend who passed away that day). I love my club, but I'm a decent human being first and foremost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singing never harmed anybody and cannot be construed as violent. Our fans constantly sing about the pigs and its just accepted. Rivalry in football will always exist and if its just kept to singing songs then personally I aint got a problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modboy Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 15 quid is too much, perhaps should have been say a fiver for season ticket holders or free if you pre-ordered a shirt. Going to watch Dunkirk instead as moneys tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
