That' what I thoughtI can only imagine he means the opposition fans?

It's not done as a denigration exercise to anyone in particular, it's how I see the whole charade .Then our manager and family and previous managers are cult members then.
Gerrard isn't Roman Catholic, mate, though he attended a Catholic school. Not that it should matter. A person's religious beliefs are their private business. I don't care if he's at Mass every day, provided he does a good job.Then our manager and family and previous managers are cult members then.
I'm the same but the original comment about priests and nuns being kept away from children was very wrong and that their brains must be scrambled.Gerrard isn't Roman Catholic, mate, though he attended a Catholic school.

He felt safe enough to actually do it which tells a story.
Can you EVER imagine a Celtic employee posing on social media with his Orange Lodge?!

Sure it happened a lot of years agoNo, because no one in the Orange Order would ever wear the bheggars uniform.
Why would he have to hide it?, he’s not the one with the problem here, I’m not religious, in fact I think all religions are cults for the feeble minded, but that’s my opinion, If someone else wants to be a Proddy, an RC, a Muslim, a Jew, a seikh or a muppet, it’s their business, the half heads who throw abuse at someone because of which particular Church they choose to visit are the ones with the problem.
Well said, sir; as you state, he’s not the one with the problem and the roasters who abused him can hardly cry foul if they get called out for their behaviour. It’s inevitable that the media would highlight this issue and quite right too - there would be no story if the roasters didn’t provide one!!Why would he have to hide it?, he’s not the one with the problem here, I’m not religious, in fact I think all religions are cults for the feeble minded, but that’s my opinion, If someone else wants to be a Proddy, an RC, a Muslim, a Jew, a seikh or a muppet, it’s their business, the half heads who throw abuse at someone because of which particular Church they choose to visit are the ones with the problem.
That just shows the kind of people we have amongst us in Glasgow, sadly. Nobody would give it a second thought in any other British city, and nobody would feel 'antagonised'. The guy shouldn't have to put up with that under any circumstances.In this day and age, when the vast majority are agnostic or atheist, I couldn't care less if he goes to Chapel, or Synagogue, or a Buddhist temple. However, he must be aware that there are sections within our support that subscribe to our Protestant traditions. Why would you deliberately allow yourself to be used as propaganda (see Ozil and Gundagon with the Turkish president) knowing that it will antagonise sections of the support base? He knows fine well what he is doing and that is trying to get a pay off from the club, as no-one in Scotland will meet his astronomical wage demands, for the level of quality that he provides.
MOH doesn't get a game for us, hung out to dry and now of all times he's all over SM in a chapel, aye no bother.
It seems like a deliberate set up in the HOPE that it will attract the dregs of our support to be stupid enough to react to it.
Not his fault to the vast majority, I would say. The minority of loonies will continue to be loonies, sadly.Guy goes to church to talk to kids.

Whit? What ‘Romanist’ influences you talking about ? Scotland is a modern thriving country. Outwith the SNP who I hate but we are lucky to live where we do.
why do the RC church if it controls the media etc drive the narrative of the poor refugee Muslims coming in? Surely they wouldn't want to dilute their stranglehold?Historically Scotland was a good place I disagree now mate. RC control of the media politics the judiciary and sport. We pay more tax for nothing and minimum pricing is a joke. Personally if circumstances allowed I’d live over the border north of Carlisle so I could travel to Ibrox and live in a much better place. The secessionists have destroyed my country now and forever.

Charities are a scam m8I guess it’s the mental PC stuff mate, I’d send all these boat people back as the Aussies do. But that’s my view deport them and keep them out they aren’t our problem people want to contribute to charities to help them fine but they shouldn’t be allowed here.

Anyone who can't see the benefit to Rangers of this is a dunce.
Shoots down the accusation that we're only for one section of the community, shows Rc kids that the lies about sectarianism are just that, and annoys TGITW knuckle-draggers.
The thing is the vast majority of those mongtards who abuse other religions will have never set foot in a Church or Chapel.Not his fault to the vast majority, I would say. The minority of loonies will continue to be loonies, sadly.

Why can it not just be a case of an innocent picture and a few arseholes throwing mindless abuse?
Not everything is a conspiracy.
A players religion or even the club he supports has no bearing and should have no bearing on if he signs and plays well for us.
We’ve had many catholic players who done fantastically well & we have had players like McCann do some fantastic things with us.
People who want to continue this debate are consigned to the dark ages and can’t be argued or reasoned with.

Couldn't care less about anyone's religious beliefs but if he turned up with Rangers gifts for the children he was speaking to or spoke about how much of an honour it was to reach the pinnacle of his career by signing for the most successful team in the world in Rangers. Do you think he'd ever be invited back?Guy goes to church to talk to kids.

I have no issue with MOH attending his place of worship or being an RC.
However, I completely disagree with his church theologically and morally and will always make a stand against its teachings.
Regards the photo .I would like to think that the photo was harmless . Sadly, I think he may have been manipulated for others benefits.
Anyone who tells me they believe in an invisible man in the sky has already proved their stupidity, or at best naivety. And the credulous are split into the three main monotheisms: Christianity, Islam and Judaism, whose adherents have precipitated some of the most brutal, bloodthirsty wars in history. Now people hate each other based on what kind of Christian they are. When is this shite gonna end....I have no issue with MOH attending his place of worship or being an RC.

This is absolute nonsense. He's a grown man having his photo taken, as a celebrity visitor, inside a place of worship which he freely entered. Who the hell is manipulating him? Would you say he was being manipulated if he was a practising Protestant, pictured inside a Church of Scotland kirk?
I just can't believe the mindset of some of our supporters.
He goes to church to talk to kids about whateverWhy do you think it's irrelevant?
As far as I'm aware he was invited to talk to the children. So if he spoke of his honour of being signed by Rangers or had given the children Rangers gifts you think he'd be invited back. Most people that scream bigot will generally be bigots themselves.
Of course everyone is entitled their views; I wouldn't want it any other way. But I think your conspiracy theory is crazy. The guy is religious and regularly attends; the priest wanted a celebrity photo. That's all I see. 'The reaction' is entirely the fault of the idiots who react, not MOH.People are entitled to their opinions same as you I believe he knew what reaction it would get and was trying to cause a bigger storm to get a pay off.
Gladly not a lot took the bait but still enough to reach the papers who tbh were sitting waiting and looking.

I'm not trying to defend the indefensible you're totally avoiding the question because it doesn't suit you. He'll probably have been invited to speak how his religious beliefs have helped him through life. Therefore if he stated that his greatest achievement was working hard and getting a dream move to the most successful team in the world in Rangers I doubt very much he'd be invited back. I certainly don't think anyone would put him out the door.He goes to church to talk to kids about whatever
He gets abuse online
What gifts/what he spoke about are irrelevant. Whether the kids like/dislike Rangers is irrelevant.
What do you think would happen. He stands up in chapel and says "I play for Rangers" and suddenly a group of burly altar boys would shepherd him out the door?
Stop trying to defend the indefensible.
Magnificent post, mate. I don't have a problem with anyone believing in whatever God they wish. I'm not a believer; I think it's all nonsense, but I respect the right of others to have their beliefs. I only have a problem when people use religion as a tool to hate others who don't think the same way as them. When push comes to shove, all the Christian denominations have far in common than that which divides them. It was Elizabeth I, when appealing to an end to sectarian pogroms in England, said 'there is only Jesus Christ; the rest is trivia'. Four hundred years on but still no solution.Anyone who tells me they believe in an invisible man in the sky has already proved their stupidity, or at best naivety.

Yeah as an atheist I couldn't give a F UCK about any religion..I always say if you have a problem about any religion you have the problemWhy would he have to hide it?, he’s not the one with the problem here, I’m not religious, in fact I think all religions are cults for the feeble minded, but that’s my opinion, If someone else wants to be a Proddy, an RC, a Muslim, a Jew, a seikh or a muppet, it’s their business, the half heads who throw abuse at someone because of which particular Church they choose to visit are the ones with the problem.
Yup. It is as blatant as it is predictable.Wow, talk about a coordinated assault. What’s that, three negative stories and counting since the SG announcement? I think they know a light is about to be shone on TGFITW and the tinpot administrators of our game. Solution - throw as much shite as possible at Rangers to try and set the agenda - us bad, Timmy good. We need an aggressive, experienced, respected PR guy as much as we need a centre half right now.

By the way, baws tae Geelong; get up Sainters.
Are you in Australia? I'll be watching the game tomorrow morning over here. Usual season for St Kilda, just the one win and one draw from the first eight games. I chose to follow them because they are worst team in the league historically. That second flag looks a long, long way offHA...Cheers mate I'll be right behind the Saints when they take on Collingwood (the celtic of the AFL) on Saturday night...
I've been 50 years in Australia next month...Good to know you get some coverage of AFL over there. We get nothing in the press about Rangers here and only the odd game on pay TV......Thank Zeus for the internet...Are you in Australia? I'll be watching the game tomorrow morning over here.
