John MacLean Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I read the BBC story this morning and couldn't quite believe the response from Rangers. It's pretty clear that this sort of abuse was endemic within football clubs, sports clubs etc. It's impossible, or it should be, to try and take the high ground on this issue. My own Club has been linked to abuse. It matters not then whether that correspondence was issued by Rangers, Celtic, Partick Thistle or Pollok Juniors. It's not an exercise in point scoring to say that it is utterly lacking in basic morality. I would be utterly appalled if Thistle had engaged in any correspondence of that nature. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They perceive that absolutely everyone in Scottish football, outwith the environs of Ibrox, is “out to get them”. So why are they still here? We don’t want them, and they don’t want us, so find some way, anyway, to play your football elsewhere. The only end to this endless statement, upon statement, upon statement embarrassment is for them to go. I may be proved wrong, but surely even they (or him) cannot come out with anything worse than today’s statement. It is abhorrent. Nobody would want them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisleysaints Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 You ought to read the comedy Rangers forum on this, the fans are just as horrible as the club there is a right good post on PR as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The statement added: "It is vital matters are dealt with sensitively and with proper care and regard for those involved. "We will not respond to questions that seek to turn allegations of desperate and deplorable conduct from three or more decades ago into cheap and nasty attacks on Rangers Football Club, and those of its employees who now have to attend to such difficult matters." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason there is now the strict Disclosure scrutiny for anyone involved with any youth activities. The Torbett case became a gleeful 'bash Celtic' meme that has been disgracefully and unthinkingly embraced by the Rangers hordes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) Shit like this really makes you wonder why apparently 'normal' and 'decent' people would have anything to do with Sevco. There must come a time when such a person thinks 'enough is enough'. Of course making profit from bigotry, discriminatory signing policies, far right politics and plenty of other shit would make you question it, but there always seems to be an answer from the apparent 'decent' people who support them, such as claiming that such things don't represent the club, or it's a minority, or that they won't allow others to take THEIR club in such a direction or they won't allow others to dictate what THEIR club is and so on and so on. All just excuses. All just delusion. All lies. Edited May 16, 2018 by DA Baracus 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) A rather large number of Rangers fans have slated Celtic about historical child for years now, as if they hold some form of moral high ground over them. If the current Rangers setup officially acknowledge this then they'll have absolutely nothing as 'ammo' (other than their self-declared 'most successful team in the world' thing perhaps) and therefore it honestly wouldn't surprise me if this has something to do with this disgustingly awful slope shouldering. Wild speculation perhaps, but you wouldn't put it past them. Regardless of the motivations behind these actions, this is whole new low in the whole Ibrox saga, and that alone speaks volumes.
