Humza will be sitting with a stethoscope against his TV speajer desperate to hear the slightest bit of booing then he'll tarnish us all as a support on his Twitter.
I didn’t say we boo the players I would never do that first and foremost I’m just saying its a pointless token gesture that’s never going to change anything time to move on from it.Maybe but we still don’t boo the players. We can respect their feelings and no-one is asking folk in the stands to take a knee just asking them not to boo our players.
The tim result has me losing my bearings.Is Wednesday friend. Don't want you missing ko on Sat.
Why are we doing it again?
Thought we stopped because our players felt it was a waste of time?
Not one poster on here has said they're going to boo. As I said, if any do and I doubt many will. Tell them to f**k up. They'll soon get the message.Yep it’s as predictable as the fallout from the George Sq celebrations.
The morons will shame the club yet again!

It's a sensitive subject but Britain's involvement in Palestine has nothing to do with the Empire.It came about around 1917 following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire who governed Palestine for the previous 400 years, where Britain was mandated to govern the area by the League of Nations.I'm not denying this, but Britain was finished there as the empire was done. Unfortunately we had to deal with a rightly vengeful people and no, I'm not happy at the way they attacked the hotel. I didnt know a lot about it, but my old man certainly lost respect for them until he seen the later documentaries on the holocaust.
This is what’s really annoying me right now, we’re in a position where we’ve a good chance at a treble + making the champions league group stages this year, and some are willing to throw away all the positivity around the club right now by making a big issue out of this - All because they think Joe Aribo is a Marxist
That's the league of nations for you, hopeless then and just as hopeless now under their new name.It's a sensitive subject but Britain's involvement in Palestine has nothing to do with the Empire.It came about around 1917 following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire who governed Palestine for the previous 400 years, where Britain was mandated to govern the area by the League of Nations.
We were to facilitate a Jewish "homeland" without disadvantaging the existing population which was 90% Arab.Naturally they were not over enamoured with this idea.
The Jewish terrorist gangs had no right to be vengeful against British soldiers many of whom had just spent 6 years trying to protect them.
I get it why people would be anti Palestine given their terrorists supporting terror groups here but we left a mess in Palestine which our country paid for in later years.
I f**ken know fine well what happened in Palestine. I also know Britain had f**k all left at the end of ww2. That's why mountbatten advised the french generals to speak to the Vietnamese as the empires were over, which they as we all know ignored
My problem with it is how they helped arm the IRA and also train them in the middle east. So I dont want the Rangers crest mixed in with some solidarity with palestine bullshit. The guy on twitter is supposedly a nat anyway, so that makes him a double c**t. Anyone wears anything like that to loyalist areas, I'll give them 5 mins, tops
No real football fan would boo any player for making a simple gesture against racism. Is this really your argument here? Fans pay money so they can do what they want ? Maybe we should go back to the good old days and let fans throw bananas on the park and make monkey noises ?Listen to the arguments for the knee and it's clear the fans are no longer the most important part of Rangers. The politics and identity of the players trump the politics or concerns of the fans. I've seen people argue what rangers fans think of the knee doesn't matter if the players support it?
When the fans are peasants to be preached at by their betters and milked for dough then the soul of the game is being hollowed out. I was listening to an old football biography recently and the player talked about his real love of the crowd, the supporters when he was forced to move. It was a customer is always right mentality...keep the fans happy. Players serve the fans not the other way around.
I can't understand the belief the players are more important than the fans..our current players will come and go. For me the ramming through of the knee is just proof the fans don't matter anymore when players have huge ego's,crazy pay packets and SKY/Europe pay clubs bills.
This is it in a nutshell. Hopefully they just sit down with their arms folded pure raging with purple faces. I actually feel sorry for them but the damage they can do to the club with this is not to be underestimated.The mere thought of our club being dragged through the mud for members of our own "support" booing their own team is frightening.
Anyone who boos is a selfish prick who thinks their political views are more important than the feelings of players in the team, and they are definitely not a rangers supporter. No Rangers supporter would ever boo the team that gave us 55 and no rangers supporter would boo our black players who have went through the ringer in regards to racial abuse over the last year - even if you think their gesture is useless or indirectly counterproductive.
Dunno if you were at amy of the friendlies mate, but the booing was loud and very noticeable, especially the Real Madrid game.Not one poster on here has said they're going to boo. As I said, if any do and I doubt many will. Tell them to f**k up. They'll soon get the message.
No point coming on here calling people morons that aren't on here is there.
We'll f*cking said my friend.The mere thought of our club being dragged through the mud for members of our own "support" booing their own team is frightening.

As I said, dont boo them back. Just shout them down.Dunno if you were at amy of the friendlies mate, but the booing was loud and very noticeable, especially the Real Madrid game.
UpStepsTheHammer, Joe Aribo is a Rangers player that’s all, who are some that you mention of being anti whoever ? If that’s true which I’ve never heard before, the so called fans should never be in Ibrox again. And I for one will deal with any of them in my vicinity, obviously in the proper way, by reporting them.This is what’s really annoying me right now, we’re in a position where we’ve a good chance at a treble + making the champions league group stages this year, and some are willing to throw away all the positivity around the club right now by making a big issue out of this - All because they think Joe Aribo is a Marxist
Really wish our players come up with something original that gets the point over because every game it’s going to be the same.I didn’t say we boo the players I would never do that first and foremost I’m just saying its a pointless token gesture that’s never going to change anything time to move on from it.

Far too much sense in this post for the Rangers support.Here's an idea; why don't we just cheer the Rangers players from the second they run onto the pitch until the second they leave? That's the sort of thing my dad and grandfather did. I see the Union Bears have organised for all fans to assemble at the stadium at 9am to cheer them off the bus. Let's all do that, cheer how much we love them then a few hours later boo the f*ck out of them for making a stand against racist bastards like Kudela.
All our fans have to do Gramps1 is shut up for 10 seconds or however long our players decide, is that too much time to really ask for ? Not in my world it’s not. We condemn Celtic fans for not obeying our minutes silence at New Year, but some people can’t condemn our own supporters booing taking a knee. It’s equally the same as in disrespect.Really wish our players come up with something original that gets the point over because every game it’s going to be the same.
I know that mate.The point I’m making is that this will most likely be a hugely positive season for us and by booing it needlessly introduces something negative to the equation. I wasn’t meaning anyone has anything against Aribo or any player in particular.
Do you really think that it is?I'm sure someone will throw around cultural Marxism soon enough as if it isn't rooted in antisemitism.
Not at all the point.Our players have stopped being racially abused? Wish someone would have told me.
Seen a good suggestion on Twitter when our players do this to drown out the guys incapable of sitting in silence for 10 seconds.
Sing “One Glen Kamara”.
We’re all Rangers fans, no matter what colour, creed or religion. Am I correct ?Do you really think that it is?
Have you ever actually read Gramcsi or Lukacs?
Wow.
That's not at all relevant to the issue I am replying to here. (But yes, correct).We’re all Rangers fans, no matter what colour, creed or religion. Am I correct ?
How authoritarian of you.I totally accept and support the club and players in this.
Anyone booing this should get their season tickets revoked.
Why create such a ridiculous straw-man?Listen to the arguments for the knee and it's clear the fans are no longer the most important part of Rangers. The politics and identity of the players trump the politics or concerns of the fans. I've seen people argue what rangers fans think of the knee doesn't matter if the players support it?

We all know this mate but this isn’t why GK and CG take the knee.People on here are conflating two distinct things.
Anti-Racism & BLM.
The latter is a radical political organization with a self-described Marxist founder.
Taking the knee is inextricably linked with BLM, and therefore, out of respect for those who do not wish to destroy current society, a different gesture should be devised and knee taking should be replaced.
When people boo, they are booing BLM, which is not surprising, given its aims. I'm not necessarily endorsing booing, but to suggest that those booing are somehow just bigots who don't care about Glenn Kamara is just disingenuous.
It's clear to me that the double association of knee taking with BLM and anti-racism is a strategy to insulate BLM from criticism.
And? It doesn't negate what I said.We all know this mate but this isn’t why GK and CG take the knee.
Do you honestly believe it makes a blind bit of difference, racism has existed for centuries and it'll exist long after we've all popped our clogs.So you are ok with booing our own BAME players for doing what they believe is needed?
One would hope not.Genuine question here, why are the players taking the knee again when they were taking a stand after the Slavia Prague game?
As a general point, is taking the knee just part of football going forward now?
I know that but the subject was about taking the knee or not, and my reply was in the context, we should support our players through thick and thin, no matter your background.That's not at all relevant to the issue I am replying to here.
I agree with you about that. I don't endorse booing.I know that but the subject was about taking the knee or not, and my reply was in the context, we should support our players through thick and thin, no matter your background.
Listen, I didn't like the BLM association the knee had in the beginning. I felt a lot of people involved in football bought into the knee gesture without fully understanding the broader politics behind BLM. I think people supported the message of the blm slogan (as 99% or more of us do, me included), and thought it was just another initiative to combat racism like Show Racism the Red Card etc, but politically fairly neutral. I think a lot then realised the politics of BLM go a lot further than just opposing racist abuse on Twitter or on the street, and that's when some clubs started to back away.Listen to the arguments for the knee and it's clear the fans are no longer the most important part of Rangers. The politics and identity of the players trump the politics or concerns of the fans. I've seen people argue what rangers fans think of the knee doesn't matter if the players support it?
