Its a club driven, deliberate - and succesful tactic and we need to wake up

[blueballs]

In these days where clubs seek all and every opportunity to better themselves - and in doing so detriment rivals - hence we now see "off the ball" coaches, analysts, nutritionists, psychologists, feckin naturists if it might work......why is it some of us still miss the bigger picture on how Septic as a club, from players to media teams, manager to boardroom totally wipe the floor with us when it comes to influencing teams, authorities and referees to suit their end. What is it that we dont get, cause the truth is they do it well.

For every "Fredo let's the team down" "shagger deserves his red" "stop being paranoid" "play well and we dont need referees" blindingly obvious comment I read, it frustrates the f*%k outof me that we miss the wood for the trees here.

None of these comments are wrong. Neither is it wrong to say Broadfoot didn't deserve red today, he did. But why is it that when we are missing our top striker for 3 matches, they're captain - guilty of challenges every bit as bad as anything Morelos has EVER done - hits last minute winners when he shouldn't be on the park? Its cause, as a tactic, they fester an atmosphere so toxic its almost impossible to conclude, with a sound mind, we are held to the same standard. Its pish easy to punish us, it's so difficult it's not worth while to do likewise to them

It's no coincidence every foul they surround a referee baying for blood. Or their manager calls for English refs cause we beat them. Or their club release statements questioning decisions and get a summit while we get 5 match bans. Or we miss players following trail by TV when.........you get the picture.

So, it's far too simplistic and naive to say he deserves this, refs not to blame for that, play well in the game and dont worry. Cause as much as each individual point may be right, and I'm no arguing that, the sum of all the parts it's that whilst we maintain the Rangers 'dignified silence' mantra and seek to explain and excuse discretions as our fault, they snarl growl and pressure referees, media, authorities and CO's as much a tactic as their match formations or lineup.......hence they have lowest bookings, suspensions, citations and hence whilst two exact same challenges in a match sees them benefit with such unexplainable different referee actions (or explainable when you see Ajer et al in Maddens face) that Brown scores the winner when he should be sitting in the stand.

Clear and simple. They reap the benefits whilst we blame our own for being petulant. It's the bigger picture we miss

Cheers. I might no articulate myself well, but it does my napper that we dont get this.

See the time spent working out tactics for opposing teams threats, how to quite down there star player - fine. But see that guy wi the whistle, see if we dont think he can have a major bearing on the match, then were simpletons

They get it, they have got it for years....and are now reaping benefits. 2 extra points today directly.

Fcukin imagine if Madden ran over and flashed the straight red to Brown the same way he (correctly) did to Broadfoot. The crap that would follow. Point is, he and every other ref knows that

 

[muttley]

The game is gone up here. The mhedia destroying refs who upset the Peasants has eviscerated any chance of competition. It is intimidation and gangsterism via the tabloids, pure and simple. Where is the mhedia lynch mob when a ref costs Rangers ? It just doesn't happen.

You articulate yourself extremely well mate. That is why I couldn't think of anything else to say but 'hear hear!!!' For what it's worth, I used to be one of the 'dignified silence' mob but this is what has caused, and continues to cause us, so many problems. We are so far behind the Bheggars in media manipulation etc it is frightening. It actually reminds me of a brilliant quote that I heard about the psyops and information warfare that the Russians have been perfecting and using against the West for years now, and some political commentator said that the Third World War had been getting waged by the Russians for years, and the West wasn't even aware that it had started! Ditto us and the Bheggars.

[billybluehat]

Yep I'm with the OP on this one.The sooner we all realise we're reffed to different standards the better.We now have the C.O. watching(?)every move we make too and they can decree with certainty that our players' challenges had 'intent' to injure others.You really couldn't make this shit up.

 

[Coza]

The problem we face is that the media do Celtics bidding for them and we have no one batting for us. No one. Our own players, in some cases guys we considered legends are continually letting us the fans down.

Take that clown on the bbc. He played for us for 5 years and won every single trophy he ever won wearing blue. He started on BBC Radio Scotland and was actually a decent pundit. He offered a relative decent level of insight and spoke well despite his camp voice. But since moving to Tv he is one of the leading voices on playing down anything that would benefit us and shrieking like a banshee on incidents he thinks we have benefited or gained an unfair advantage.

 

[blueballs]

Theres posters on a different thread that describe these ideas as too 'papist' and others that see fit to mention Beaton allegedly giving us everything last OF match.

Seriously. First one is now too boring and almost prehistoric by missing the actual point to bother with. For the 2nd, this is a narrative orchestrated by the Celtic media to deflect away from their inept performance that day.

And here's the feckin point.....what then happened to Beaton?? Splashed over social media and needing polis escort to the next match. Consequences of deliberate ploys to right perceived wrongs. Really think this isn't going someway to make him doubt future calls against them??

This isn't that hard to understand. Its almost perversely impressive, cause if I'm being totally honest I now wish we picked up points, avoided suspensions etc by being equally as vociferous

Anyone still no grasping it - deliberately or otherwise - is unfortunately now part of the problem

I’m not trying to sound sinister Billy, but I actually believe it’s much bigger than that.

For decades they have put people into positions of power, in politics, HMRC, and the police to name a few.
The SFA debacle that King raised was another example of that.

Indeed mate.You're not sounding sinister at all but factually correct.We've stood by for years while every one of them has got themselves into positions of power,just as Il Papa (?) demanded.That's all part of the bigger picture in which,they're beating us to pulp,every single day.

[clashcityrocker]

Unless our club start to do something about this corruption within our game, I'm seriously thinking of jacking it in.
£600 + for a ticket, knowing that we are basically being prevented from getting a fair crack at the game is really wearing me down, given the way we just sit back and let it happen.

I know this is what they want to happen, and I know that I will ultimately renew, but it does just feel like chucking good money away.

Don't worry about it, there will become a time where our results will overshadow the poor refereeing decisions and we'll pull in front of them. Hopefully that is next season.

Mate, we all hope and wish for that. But that's no good enough I'm afraid, it's no just poor referring decisions, it's much broader and more than that. And we have our heid up our backsides if we dont get it.

Won't be allowed to happen

Even if we manage to get ahead of them, with our best players sitting in the stand banned or injured, watch out for the introduction of points deductions for strict liability.

There's nothing surer. The rhats will use every weapon at their disposal.

And when they've ran out - they'll invent some more.

I actually think that most people do grasp it. I also have no doubt that our board get it too. But us all getting it is one thing; changing it is a very different thing. The authorities and the mhedia have it all stitched up and have had for a long time. Where is the outlet for us to scream and shout about what is going on? I struggle to see where it is and who will listen.

[jackgers877]

It was no accident that our 2 best players are serving bans at the moment and IMHO this was caused by the complicity of the Dhims, the MSM and the referees/SFA fear of the consequences from the unwashed hordes. We need to wise up politically and fast or we will forever be handicapped unfairly by the disciplinary system. How we do that I don"t know but the board and management need to develop a strategy to overcome it.

The opportunity to ban our two best players was too good to be true for the mhedia and the Compliance Officer, and was never going to be passed up. They duly obliged.

We will not pull in front of them when the dice is so heavily loaded in their favour, and we deserve a level playing field, nothing more, nothing less.

I never say never, I hold optimism Rangers can because I do not hold a defeatist attitude, if I did, what would be the point looking forward to next season or even the season after, in fact, they may as well not compete if that's the case.

I don't disagree with you upon the standards of the refereeing, but Rangers do really need to get to the stage where we can score more goals and do so consistently. We'll see what is done in the summer.

 

[Sir Walter]

Truth is our board don’t have the fight in them to take the fight to the SFA.

We had the chance to make an example of Collum and call him out publicly for lying about what he claims to have seen Candeias doing

Then again last week we could have ended Maddens career by calling him out for claiming he didn’t fully see McGregors incident despite clear tv footage showing he did. Instead we sat back and rolled over yet again.

If it were the tims you can guarantee they’d have made examples of both refs to ensure they’d think twice about giving any major decisions against them

I long for the day that our club is controlled by a board willing to stand up and speak out when required against a corrupt SFA and their officials.

[Luca Stroppi]

OP is bang on with that and for me the game in this country has been on a long decline in so many aspects that are now beyond repair. The events of 2012 are still hanging over us and though everyone outside of the Rangers community doesn’t give a shit about that, the integrity and credibility of the game is screwed. 2012 has resulted in us staring down the barrel of a treble treble...just let that sink in!

Even if the filth don’t get it, the fact they have managed to bag 2 trebles in a row and a season undefeated to polish up their turd of 7 perhaps 8 in a row title sequence and possibly more is extremely bad enough to compute not just for us as their city rivals but the rest of the clubs in the Scottish game whether they acknowledge it or not.

The credibility of the competition and reputation of Scottish football is severely damaged yet there is no negativity from the football mhedia stating how bad this really is as there was back in the 90s when we were dominant and on our march to getting the 9 in a row.

Our 9 and dominance WAS SEEN AS A BAD THING... BUT it was a time when Scottish football was still in a very healthy state across the board and everyone benefitted even though some clubs badly mismanaged their finances but what’s going on now IMO is going to break this shitty product big time at some point ..yes a number of fans will always go and watch their teams and there’s none more loyal than the bears but the game is very badly f@cked up now in so many ways.

The game in this country has become an extremely poisonous environment in recent years and as a football fan and a Rangers fan the ONLY pleasure I personally get out of Scottish football now to be honest is us winning football matches and that’s about it other than a little enjoyment of the misfortune that befalls certain other clubs and their fans who enjoyed our hard times and that’s about it, sad really as these other outfits I previously didn’t have a problem with or take much notice of other than when we played against them.

Whatever happens in the future I will not shed a tear if the game up here deteriorates and suffers a major collapse as I think it is past saving even with a rejuvenated and successful Rangers toppling the cancer across the city eventually that club and their army of filth in all areas of our society has ensured the damage is well and truly done, the sport is a cesspit now and honestly not worth all the bother and aggravation, principally THEY have poisoned the whole fucking well such is their malignant presence and influence and it has infected the wider society, in these circumstances you cannot hope to turn things around for the better, if they are not happy, if they are not dominating and controlling things they will work towards ruining the thing and they have managed to do it IMO.

They couldn’t handle the rivalry with us when we were fit and healthy so they set about stirring up as much trouble and bad shit as possible on and off the pitch to get things to their advantage and to our disadvantage and their mhedia poodles made damn sure we were damaged goods so no decent buyer would entertain the idea of taking over the ownership of Rangers thus pushing us ever closer towards the vultures who were waiting in the shadows and who quickly pounced on the opportunity to make a quick buck when the shit hit the fan and we’re still paying the price.

Things would feel better if we were back on top of Scottish football but even when that’s been the case the filth and poison increases and it really is an odious climate in what is supposed to be a sport and something that is fun but they can’t accept it and you get to thinking this toxic atmosphere is something you could happily do without as we had to some extent when we were in the lower leagues, I honestly didn’t miss it and hope one day that mob die are shutdown for crimes against humanity or %^*& off to Ireland.

The game is gone up here. The mhedia destroying refs who upset the Peasants has eviscerated any chance of competition. It is intimidation and gangsterism via the tabloids, pure and simple. Where is the mhedia lynch mob when a ref costs Rangers ? It just doesn't happen.

We've even had the official mouthpiece of their supporters association calling for referees to be sacked for offences missed that end up at the Celtic compliance officers desk.
This is nothing short of terrorism, pure and simple.

There is a school of thought that basically says that it can take approximately 150 years for followers of a religion to take effective control of a country.

Various examples have been given albeit they are Muslim related.......however, it makes me wonder what has happened to us in the last 150 or so years.

 

[Super-Swally]

Fantastic post OP.

If only someone from our club had the wherewithal and balls to tackle this head on?

It's now out of control and costing us players and points. Time for the tactic of dignified silence to come to an end!

 

[rodwallace]

This is a waste of time.

Think about it.

When the filth were inferior to us they would lament certain decisions nonstop.

This is what fans do when their team just marginally comes up short.

If we had beaten St Johnstone and Kilmarnock in previous games and Morelos didn’t give the referee a decision to make i.e. if we were a better quality team than we are, then these decisions would not be so prominent as a discussion topic here.

I really hope the management team know this p, and unlike many of the fans; are not wasting time on something they can’t fix. In fact, I hope they are working overtime strategising how they can get more out of this group of players and identifying the players we need to go up a level next season and get out ahead of the filth irregardless of perceived injustices with respect to referees decision making.

100% correct! ..... and the biggest problem in terms of fighting this is our club unfortunately. They are clueless, shit-scared, and so out of touch about operating in what is effectively a propaganda war.

It’s actually at the point that I have lost all sympathy for the club when they are at the receiving end of stuff like the Morelos ban. In my head they are the biggest part of the problem. The tims will do what tims do when unopposed - but our club is a cowardly disgrace in response.

whatever problem(s) are being alluded to here is not the reason why we are only second.

we are second in the league because we aren't good enough to be first. that's it.

it's not the referees fault. nor is it to do with religion.

I’m not trying to sound sinister Billy, but I actually believe it’s much bigger than that.

For decades they have put people into positions of power, in politics, HMRC, and the police to name a few.
The SFA debacle that King raised was another example of that.

Totally agree the problem goes much deeper than the football authorities.

The performance of our players bothers me more to be honest. We need to focus more on the part we can influence. The rest will take care of itself.

This is a waste of time.

Think about it.

When the filth were inferior to us they would lament certain decisions nonstop.

This is what fans do when their team just marginally comes up short.

If we had beaten St Johnstone and Kilmarnock in previous games and Morelos didn’t give the referee a decision to make i.e. if we were a better quality team than we are, then these decisions would not be so prominent as a discussion topic here.

I really hope the management team know this p, and unlike many of the fans; are not wasting time on something they can’t fix. In fact, I hope they are working overtime strategising how they can get more out of this group of players and identifying the players we need to go up a level next season and get out ahead of the filth irregardless of perceived injustices with respect to referees decision making.

A ref was scared to award us a deserved penalty at Ibrox on Saturday. Another ref was scared to red card Broon in the first half at Kilmarnock on Sunday, who later scored the winning goal. This is what we are up against.
