Club write to Sturgeon

[SDF]

You literally just said you cant support rangers and have your freedom to vote?

I’m a huge Rangers fan and I couldn’t give one flying feck who anyone votes!!

A vote for the SNP simply means you, me and they will continually be portrayed by them and their gutter level support as knuckle dragging, foaming at the mouth, far right racists who hate Scotland.

Ordinary people, families, old guys, women and children who did nothing more than celebrate a title for the first time in a decade were portrayed as drunken scum by the Scottish Government and their pals yesterday. Voting for those liars simply means you're an enabler to this. They're free to vote how they wish but they can spare the rest of us the tears afterwards when this witch hunt doesn't stop.

 

[Family bam]

Ahh you can’t support Rangers if you vote for a certain party?

You quite happy to say we discriminate when choosing our fans?

A so called supporter who votes for an organisation that despises our club and support are not Rangers supporters in my eyes.

Whether you think that's right or wrong I couldn't really care tbh.
That's my opinion and I stand by every word.

Can you just answer a genuine question, given how many posts you have added here saying the same thing.

Do you vote for the SNP?

 

[BlueLedbetter]

Two things

1. The Scottish Government lied again on national TV to save their own skin. Any self respecting Rangers fan who votes for them need their head examined.

2. Trophy day is guaranteed to take place on a midweek at the back of 9. Not a chance they'll allow the club to have it at a weekend.

Wouldn't surprise me if we didn't even get the trophy presented

[Quijibo]

That’s a disgraceful comment to make in all honesty, I do not vote snp but I won’t judge a fellow Ger for having his/her own freedom to vote for whom they please.

I agree with the context of this post, however where I find my conflict is that SNP have never proven independence is financially viable, therefore in the absence of a sensible plan a vote for SNP must be a vote for something else.

the overriding rhetoric from separatists is that they want to dissolve the union and without a logical reason you would have to assume an illogical reason. Ie they hate the English. So a vote for the snp must a sectarian vote and therefore has no place in a modern society.

The SNP, and their followers, are vile and should be shunned.

 

[DorsetLoyal]

How any Scot, never mind Rangers fan, can vote for the SNP is beyond me.
They have cosy relationship with an organisation that to this day justifies the murder of three young Scots.

 

[Quijibo]

Where does it state I vote for them? Discrimination is a far bigger problem than a vote.

Not when you’re voting for a party who discriminate everyday and it’s their reason for being.

 

[SDF]

Not when you’re voting for a party who discriminate everyday and it’s their reason for being.

A party who went on live TV yesterday and LIED blatantly to make the club and the support(that means all of us) look bad in order to save their own skin and hide their incompetence.

If a Rangers fan continues vote for that then they deserve all they get from the SNP.

And any lurkers can spare us the politics/football club bollocks. I don't vote for a political party on the basis of my club but I'm sure as hell not going to vote for one who continually and wilfully portrays me, my kid and all the rest of us as knuckle dragging scum because I support a club they don't like.

 

[PMB1872]

How can Rangers fans vote for this shower of absolute incompetents?

The ones that do I assume do so out of anti-Tory sentiment and possibly because of their financial circumstances. I don’t get it myself though.

 

[Corriebear]

so you can’t be a Rangers fan because of the party you vote for?

being a fan means you care about the wellbeing of the club and it’s position in the country. It would be strange for a fan to vote for a party that detests your club and actively tries to damage the wellbeing of the club you support.

Well sir you should as the current SNP party are an enemy of our club and anyone voting them in needs educated.

 

[BunkMoreland]

I know the Follow Follow echo chamber is mental at the best of times.
Is it hard to believe that the Rangers support is made up of a whole manner of political opinions, beliefs and identities.

I don't give a flying %^*& who somebody might vote for, what religion they follow oh who or what they identify as.

Who the %^*& is anyone to say somebody isn't welcome? "
SNP hate our culture and way of life" what does that even mean?

It's sad that after our first title in a decade which should bring us together, the outpouring of love for our club during the celebrations during a lockdown (which I don't condone but absolutely understand) the first thing posters look to do is attack our fellow support?!

Not for me.

Before anyone starts I vote Labour and hate the SNP, not because of any percieved bias but because their record in government is awful.

Fitting, we accused Scottish clubs of doing exactly that 9 years ago.

Now we have our own fans at it.

Eh whit? It's only even an issue because the SNP attacked US (with lies) right after the title win!!!! Is that acceptable?

 

[PMB1872]

Some of the Scottish anti-Tory rhetoric is bizarre. Very disproportionate.

Largely because it’s been predominantly Labour for so long. All that’s happened now is a lot of those voters jumped ship when they saw Labour in Scotland and the wider UK not making an impact.

By and large the majority of the rangers support is made up of people a certain origin whol hold certain beliefs, this isn't universal but its what the club is identified as throughout the world. The snp are the polar opposite, to assume this doesn't come into the past few days headlines is stupidity. One must also assume it is a look we hate them to, to the other lot across the city.

 

[Sunnyvale_Loyal]

It's mystifying why you think critique of a political position is discrimination.

I'm not disputing that.
But saying folk aren't welcome is what I take issue with.

 

[UpStepsTheHammer]

I absolutely hate the argument that ‘you can’t be a Rangers fan if you do x, y or z’

The club literally play adverts for the Everyone Anyone campaign before every home game. The message from that is very clear that the club feel you can vote for whoever and are still welcome

 

[dh1963]

So we fight discrimination with discrimination?

We all discriminate in some way.

How do we choose who our friends are? We make choices all the time who to trust, who to employ, who to vote for, etc.

We discriminate on the basis of all kinds of different things that are important to us emotionally. And I do discriminate against people who I know have a dislike for things I hold dear.

I choose not to socialise with Green Brigade members or sympathisers. Maybe I therefore discriminate against them. I choose not to socialise with "woke" types who find offence in everything. And I choose not to socialise with people whose biggest priority is to break up this great country and destroy a shared bond and shared history that my family have all been proud of.
I internally discriminate.

Others might discriminate based on other things important to them.

Anyone who says they have no preconceptions and don't have their internal way of judging others is a liar.

I don't vote based on my football team, but any politician blatantly and publicly hating my football team makes it very hard for me not to discriminate against them.

The SNP is full of individuals who discriminate against folk like me. That's their right, just as it's mine to despise them and discriminate against anyone who sides with them. Regardless of football team allegiance.

Tell them to ram their trophy up their collective arses if they try that one.

 

[Hurricane Run]

I'm not disputing that.
But saying folk aren't welcome is what I take issue with.

They are being empowered to attack our club, by some the very fans who support our club. Its a clear conflict of interest.

 

[SDF]

But saying folk aren't welcome is what I take issue with.

Agreed. The idea that an SNP voting Rangers fan isn't welcome isn't something I'd share or agree with.

But I cannot wrap my head around voting for a political party that hate you, judge you and label you on the basis of the team you support or the flag you wave.

 

[Nerlinger]

I'm not disputing that.
But saying folk aren't welcome is what I take issue with.

I would never say they weren't welcome but I struggle to see how they square the circle.

 

[bobba]

have seen that there was no impact on either qeuh or the royal on sunday - not seen that mentioned anywhere as of yet

 

[YoungGer97]

Anyone who discriminates can ram it

If telling people that hate us and are trying to harm us to ram it is discrimination, then sign me up.

Can you name one SNP MSP or MP who is openly a Glasgow Rangers Supporter?

 

[JoeAribosDeftTouch]

Politics as a whole is beyond repair.

All we’d need is about 15k bears and we could easily storm the Scottish parliament.

Outlaw socialism and poets and return crowds to football immediately. Jobs a good’un.

 

[Arkanoid]

TalkSport lead news is Rangers writing to Sturgeon to say they are unhappy with the blame put on them and lack of communication from her Government, amazing what neutrals in London will select as the angle. Watch BBC Schottland change course once the big boys in England tell them what the news story really is on this matter, nothing surer.

Could do with a quiet couple of news days, my heid is burst! Part of that is self induced but still

 

[Anony Mouse]

I would question their judgement yes

so my judgement is questioned even after 43 yrs today of supporting the team i love. follow following and attending every damn home game, then taking every one of my girls to follow follow, in the name of supporting my team. irresepctive of where my vote lays

How do you square the circle? What exactly about a party founded on outright racism and intolerance attracts you? Genuinely interested.

If you love rangers so much why vote for a party which hates us and as recently as yesterday was telling lies about us?

Square that with your "love" of our club.

 

[Bearinabluehose]

We all know what happened we don't need to go over and over it what's done is done !
Nothing was deliberately done or started!

However the way the SNP have attacked our club please remember this bears at the upcoming elections.

We should all get the msg out to the the remaining support who do vote for this rag tag bunch of cowboys.

Vote for who you like but not SNP .

Start saying it and spreading it once they start understanding the power of our support maybe they will treat us with a bit of fairness .

 

[Anony Mouse]

as noted before, if u read my comment in another post, this have changed , and so has my vote. But to try ram down peoples throats about a damn vote is something else.

we all have reasons to vote for a certain party be it con, lab, greens or whatever. but these should not be aired in a public forum .

when we sing at Ibrox or where ever we sing as one voice, and we can be sitting next to someone that voted a way that you didnt.

What next, get asked who you voted for before entering???

 

[William 111]

We have to remove that nest of vipers ASAP But when we have thousand of Ower so called supporters who vote for them we will still have them in office and Ower small country will go to the wall I personally have and will continue call them out any snp supporting rangers fans to me they are nothing more than 5th columnists

 

[sir_walter_smith]

Anyone else getting the feeling that all this has been 1 big setup.

The shouting match was gonna happen regardless of how big or small the celebrations were. Only the people behind the scenes know what was agreed, what the plan was.

 

[Virgil Hilts]

I did there tours in ulster on opp banner and there was a lot more than 3 that were murdered i no of at lest 6 some were my personal friends and they the snp sinn fein are sister parts they share info and swap staff this a fact there's more than a few who I no for a fact are backers of a violent struggle in ulster still and here

Sounds to me like they're trying to find the supporters that attended, wouldn't be surprised if the parents recieve fixed penalty fines.

Don't recall this happening with the other riots / celebrations / protests

 

[Gardenhall Bear]

That’s a disgraceful comment to make in all honesty, I do not vote snp but I won’t judge a fellow Ger for having his/her own freedom to vote for whom they please.

I have more in common with,and more respect for a mentally challenged, than an SNP supporter that claims to be a Ger.

Can anyone point out the benefits of Independence? their are none as far as I can see, and even if their were those corrupt incompotents are guaranteed to feck it up. National Socialist party, not for me.

What's this about?

Original tweet said that children in Glasgow were asked (interrogated) if they attended Ibrox at the weekend. Any children that said yes were told to go home and self isolate for 14 days.

I’d that is the case then that is ridiculous

No proven cases let alone Track & Trace

They are denying a child their legal right to education on the basis of sectarianism

 

[Faure there’s not a team]

Has to be surely. Or maybe its just the RC schools asking if any kids were at Ibrox and sending them home ha ha.
