Rangers in Trouble Again

Biggest bugbear for me is what appears to be many Rangers fans going into a referendum for independence with their decisions being made to vote no on the basis of their football team having the colours of the Union Jack and a misguided sense of loyalty to the crown. I don't get the feeling Celtic fans are voting yes by the same reasoning i.e. giving 2 fingers to the UK as some kind of pro Ireland stance.
By all means vote but please base it on political reasoning not football!:mad:

What a bizarre post. You are very bitter indeed if you believe that.

Indeed, very strange! I'd be interested to know what concrete evidence he has for that reasoning! While I'd suspect the voting tendencies would be along those lines, I'd be pretty sure he hasn't talked in depth with many on 'the other side'!

To me, Williamalex1's situation is the way it should be, but apparently rarely is!

Can I guess that you are both a Celtic fan, and a Yes voter?

Its not bizarre, it right here in Rangers Media forum, 19 pages of it! - http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=273179

I dont know what to believe but thats how some of it reads.:mad: I'm not bitter either, just surprised and a bit shocked.

I don't find it bizarre at all -and actually find it strange that some might not see why some Rangers supporters might vote NO simply on the grounds of Rangers being a Unionist club and it would therefore be disloyal to vote YES.

Likewise I read this morning that one instance of YES campaigners being 'attacked' was outside of Tynecastle before a Hearts game.

Rangers media :rofl:

That even makes the Daily Mails' stories credible.

I agree, but it's not a newspaper, it's fans opinions. I look in sometimes, as I do Celtics and other teams forums, but given Rangers current lower league status and financial problems, theirs is perhaps more interesting these days - the banter and delusion can be fairly amusing, like any forum.

Ahmed back in to freeze the £650000.

Previously it's been kicked out twice as the judge said that there was no credible threat that The Rangers would be unable to pay the £650000 if Ahmed won. By The Rangers own words they are bust if the share issue fails so I can't see how a judge could possibly argue against Ahmed this time.

And I am aware the rights were sold 2 years ago but this is now yet another revenue stream that is closed. The SRU sold the naming rights to Murrayfield for £20 million...The Rangers sold theirs for 100 pennies.

Time for a spot of karaoke.

And now, the end is near............:whoo:

Is the bitterness that strong you actually want to see them disappear ?

Can you tell me why someone would ever feel that strongly in the negative towards a club you would want it gone ?

Do you really need to be told again or are you simply wanting a late night argument?

Well other people have had a few guesses at why some people want a club to disappear ( because they didn't actually want them gone )- you are actually the only person I know that wants a club gone

No arguments just a plain clear reason why someone would want a sports club gone.

There are many many fans in Scotland who want the [Mod Edit] gone. the reason? They cheated, with the clear help of the authorities, and even when it was clear what route had to be taken, if it hadnt been for social media it's almost certain they would have been allowed straight into the SPL when the new club formed.

They do no good for the game, they continue to cheat, the only chance for the game to move forward in this country is for this club to cease to exist forever.

Liverpoolphil,

Back in 1994 the boot was on the other foot. Rangers were flying high with many internationalists on their books, they seemed to be able to to pick and choose who they bought and played at virtually any position on the park. Season ticket sales were massive as you would expect from a winning team. Celtic were struggling both on and off the park. Unable to compete with the big money offered by Rangers Celtic started a spiral that nearly caused their demise. Celtic were slipping towards bankruptcy much to the joy of their city rivals. In stepped wee Fergus McCann who bought a controlling interest in Celtic and set them up on a firm business footing. He helped them create one of the best grounds in Scotland and managed to put a team on the park that stopped Rangers breaking their run of Championship wins.

We now know why Rangers were able to fund such extravagant signings, unfortunately several other clubs in Scotland tried to compete and hit the banckruptcy proceedings sooner or later (My own club being one of them, but that's a slightly different story)

There are a lot of issues that need to be reviewed, on both sides, unfortunately these issues run deep and will probably always be there.
