Leith Green Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 42 minutes ago, TheJTS98 said: For what it's worth, I found it eyebrow raising that Rangers would bring about an official link with a podcast named like that. Sends a bit of a message, and one that Rangers give the impression they don't want to send. I actually think it is very obvious that Rangers do not give a flying f**k about what anyone else thinks - Orange strips, Heart and Hand podcast, ffs - we look at places like Hungary and the media tut tuts at their overt racism, demands action - but the club that just won the Premiership are championing a stance that is - at best - questionable. Why do they do this? Just pop into places like Bathgate or Broxburn and see how many strips they sell. That stance is entirely their right if they exist in a vaccum...............however, when it affects and impacts people in the very business area that they operate, then they need to be dealt with. This wouldnt be tolerated in any other Industry in Scotland, but everyone - police, politicians, media, SPFL, SFA seem shit scared of these wallopers. They clearly dont care about people asking nicely, so the only thing that will resolve this is to remove points. And I mean every single time a sectarian song is sung - home or away. Oh, and in case any of our resident Rangers fans do the "sectarianism isnt just a west coast issue" - aye it is. Apart from the very odd (and I mean that in every sense of the word) tit that support Hibs and Hearts who get laughed at by the rest of their fans support - other clubs dont have this issue. Hit these wanks where it actually means something, or just dinnae bother. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, on a related note, what about the boy from Middlesborough who has been charged by the FA for tweets he made 9 years ago as a 14 year old? The journalists at the daily record seem to have dug their own grave here you don’t publish a story about historic tweets and how out of order without making sure your own house is in order which it clearly isn’t They only have their own stupidity to blame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason seems to be if you're going to hold people accountable then you'll be held accountable yourself. I saw that yesterday and I don't know what to say apart from ridiculous.

Suspect Device Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Seems a lot of Rangers fans will be a bit grumpy this morning since they've been up all night trawling the Daily Rebel (sic) journo's twitter feed for some serious whataboutery. #bearswithsoreheads. All fun for folk who dislike both sides in this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Job Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 53 minutes ago, Dundee Hibernian said: Last season I was taken aback that the Ibrox club had the 'Heart and Hand' podcast as the sponsors of their Rangers TV coverage of matches, and that H&H chose the player of the match: mind writing it on the match threads at the time here. But on reflection, the club only appears to react to bad publicity rather than prevent issues before they occur, in fact they probably don't see anything wrong with associating themselves with such a group, what with their backing of gatherings such as 'Union Bears', overlooking racist bile chanted or sung by their customers, or ongoing choice of colours for their away outfits and tracksuits. It appears to be part of the club's marketing ploy to encourage a particular type of fan, and/or maybe the custodians at Ibrox enjoy a circus of staunch rage. RFC had been happy enough to associate themselves with the Vangaurd Bears for years, a very nasty group of bigots who describe themselves as loyalists The only real surprise here is the media giving people a tiny peek behind the curtains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gannonball Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 55 minutes ago, bennett said: Is Keith just having a bit of a laugh with the lads or is he being a bigot here? Twitter has gone absolutely crazy today, tweets being pulled up left, right and centre. Accounts and tweets being deleted as journalists rush to protect themselves. If Keith Jackson gets sacked from this it’s going to be hilarious. He’s quietly ignored the H&H’s bigoted pish for years but only now does he care with Rangers no longer getting giving him preferential treatment over fan media. Now hopefully he has well and truly shot himself in the foot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RandomGuy. Posted September 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2021 Rangers fans discover that if they all band together as a group they can cause a serious change thorugh sheer weight of numbers. Do they use this power to... A. Force all those who tarnish their club with racist songs/comments to change their ways and help everyone move forwards? B. Force everyone whos criticising the racist element in their support to back down and never question it again? Answers on a fucking postage stamp pls. Lets never again pretend the "vast majority" of Rangers fans want this element out their club, the last few days have shown differently. 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They deserve all that's coming their way along with their associated haters who piled in. Glass houses springs to mind. 1 crisis. More than one would be crises. Grammar/spelling Nazi. HTH. It would be sweetly ironic if you now trawl through all my P&B posts for the many examples of my poor use of grammar.

Seen some wild takes from old Kincardine however this one makes him look more like Alf Garnett Pointing out that the Hoopisphere raging against unacceptable behaviour peaks after an OF defeat is perfectly reasonable and doesn't mean I condone what was chanted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense, clearly, given that it references their proclivity for destruction and is absolutely nothing to do with religion (e.g. Nacho Novo is one, Danny McGrain is not). Suspect if it was we wouldn't have fans of just about every fanbase in Scotland - many of whom are Protestants - call them that.
