Will Rangers respond to wee nickys plea?

[Gazrfc]

Noted how the club have just absolutley shunned her "plea" and continued to post about the team winning 55 - absolutley brilliant, the silence is golden.

However, will we respond to this? The club now have 3 options:

1 - Make a statement, heeding the advice and telling the fans to please stay home

2 - Make a statement, going against the advice and more or less refuse to do what she's asked us to do

3 - Continue to be silent on the matter


What do you all reckon the clubs next step will be on this?

 

[WinkieWATP]

I’m sure I heard Boris say if you can’t party from home get your arse up to George Square.

 

[Crispy Bacon]

Naw the media team will have been sticking 2 fat fingers up to that tweet. Not our job.

 

[Kinbo]

Treat her with the same contempt she treats us

 

[Arkanoid]

Nah, let sleeping dogs lie. Let's roll into Thursday now

 

[Ciro]

The SNP have done nothing for Rangers all these years. Fans gathering in public places is not a club issue.

Go with 3. Don't get involved.

 

[AbronhillBear]

Take a leaf out of her book and stay silent.

 

[Patlabor]

Nothing at all to do with Rangers, going by that logic our fans are Scottish so it’s actually the SNPs fault.

 

[Pennine Walk]

The club will seek out BLM for advice.

 

[hhss]

Ignore the witch.

 

[CoopBlue]

Ignore them.

And if we Unionists can get our act together at the ballot box then the cow and her crew won't be around for much longer !!!

 

[PunkScott]

"5tay home, 5tay 5afe, protect the NH55"

 

[Clay Davis]

She’s probably forgotten about it by now. Shite memory.

 

[GranvillusClutterbuckus]

If her only communication was via Twitter, then they certainly shouldn’t respond to her.

 

[Gary]

The SNP can do their job and stop relying on football clubs to do it for them, Rangers aren't elected to keep control.

 

[CoopBlue]

Vote them out !!!

 

[Bigbluebear]

Why say anything now? Everybody is away home

 

[The Golden God]

I really wanted them to retweet her tweet asking for fans to go home and just say "Why don't you go home"

 

[Brahim Hemdani's Granny]

Don't worry, she'll have forgotten about it by now

 

[Kilpatricknick]

Just say " we cant recall" we,re not sure" "our memory is vague" and use "invidious" in every sentence too. Job done

 

[mdingwall]

Mostly young folks out - the cohort least likely to get or spread the virus.

Plus the UK now has over 23 million people vaccinated - the second highest proportion of population in the world after Israel.

Risk Assessment - minimal.

 

[john307]

Rangers responce. Sorry we are to busy having a party.

 

[Mols]

Our Twitter’s swerve of it was brilliant. Several tweets from her for us to just fire one up saying Goodnight from the champions

 

[Subway Loyal]

For the sake of good PR I would have liked the club to have got ahead of this and reminded fans to observe the current COVID rules.

I wouldn’t have expected anyone at the club to have thought that would make a difference, but for the sake of appearances it might have been worth doing.

To reiterate I’m not having a go at the club or the people who were out celebrating, just think it might have been worth us “playing the game” for the sake of PR.

 

[Sheamaker]

I'm sure our media team can't recall the events that she is referring to.

 

[DelPiero]

There’s nothing the club can do or say, it’s nothing to do them.

Plus, do people really think a statement/tweet from the club last night would’ve meant everyone would’ve gone ‘aw okay then’ and gone home?

Of course not.

 

[Dolphin]

phones straight to voicemail.

 

[Kilsyth Unionist]

Best to ignore the mayor of toytown.

The club already did, they asked for a doorstep celebration.

 

[Artful Dodger]

Did she moan about st johnstone fans celebrating?Did she moan as much when the rheptiles had their wee riots?Did she moan about the Black Lives Matter protests in June 2020?She is a horrible wee cu*t.I detest her and her scummy party.Playing to a rouges gallery

 

[davyloyal]

Just say we did the best we could. On Saturday, Alfie was trying to shoo fans away with lager, but they refused to go.

 

[Tony75tfc]

I see UEFA have responded to the scot govs comments by basically saying we dont give a f**k lol they are commited to host the games in the 12 countries

 

[Teddyjohn]

There is absolutely nothing the club could’ve done to stop any of that.

 

[Barrymoped]

It was only on Twitter, not an official request. So just ignore and continue to be smug.

No doubt the press will be contacting the club 300 times for comment and Gerrard will get asked several times about it at his presser for Thursdays game so will have to say something, but it can be the usual wishy washy response, ie treat them with utter contempt while still appearing to remain professional.

 

[xd182]

I was tempted to start a similar thread but was worried about the backlash. Good on you for not giving a toss!

I think we should say something, especially about us getting tweeted directly from her. I didn't see her tweeting Celtic or St. Johnstone directly to do something about their fans. And for fairness, I will actually separate BLM & Indy gatherings because they're not football related.

She set the precedent with all other gatherings that have happened. People will have seen that the threats are empty and the police will not do anything. If I was 10 years younger, I would've been there. There was nothing to deter anyone. It's her own fault for failing to do anything about the previous incidents.

Edit: And there's nothing the club could've done anyway. So, not worthwhile even contacting Rangers.

 

[Craigie]

Gerrard said prior to Saturday, that while he understood the feelings of the fans, they should refrain from gathering.

What else is he supposed to do?

Like everything else in this cesspit, where is the consistency in reporting or commenting on the weekend's events with previous gatherings? That's the bigger issue and concern.

Personally, for what it's worth, I wouldn't condone the gatherings. However, if I was 19/20 yrs old, I'd be right in the middle of them.

 

[Ambiorix]

She'll have forgotten about it by now.

 

[monkey magic]

Sturgeon was tweeting to a large crowd at an illegal gathering at Glasgow Green last summer during lockdown to " stay safe ". She doesn't deserve any response from Rangers. She's a fraud, liar and hypocrite.

I would say be silent ...just like the Scottish Government are on the CSA scandal at the piggery

 

[The Iceman]

Consult the SFA handbook regarding the first ministers Covid breach statement and follow past protocol.

 

[Bluehart]

Treat her with the same contempt she treats us

Said as much to my wee maw. She couldn't understand why nippy was so raging, I said "thousands of people all over Scotland partying flying union flags, making worldwide news. That's her absolute worst nightmare."

 

[St Andrews Bear]

Wait til we win the Europa league, the bears will bring the whole of Glasgow to a standstill, not just George square

We were playing a recording over the tannoy at the stadium telling fans to go home. We did what the supreme leader asked.

 

[Badger]

When our media team can locate the thread, we will follow the lead of Celtic in response to her tweet about their fans gathering in numbers!

 

[Dave Angell]

^^ Should be the appropriate response to the rancid little boot.

 

[Artful Dodger]

She'll have forgotten about it by now.

See what you did there.

 

[bilkobear]

Which of the SNP's 'double standard' are the club to adhere to?

That said, I hope all those who drive at the club do have insurance.
Sometimes you really have to ignore the Scottish government's mixed messages.

With pretty much any negative press nowadays the best approach is to just say nothing, feeding the longevity of the story by reacting to it is what they want.

The public and the media move on to the next person or organisation they want to smear very quickly and it's forgotten about.
