punkrockcroc Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Rangers [sevco] have tried for years to try and eclipse the true and ultimate sacrifice of McCreas battalion and they NEVER will,we know it they know and the more they try the more emberrassing it becomes, they will NEVER be as proud of their lot as we are of our boys.

Boomstick Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Very little sense being talked on this thread. The whole thing might not sicken me but it certainly makes me deeply uncomfortable. Did you see the photo of the squaddies holding a 'keep ulster protestant' scarf? I've never liked the crass exploitation of the armed forces by football clubs. Remembrance & recognition are very important but I can't help but feel rangers have been using the forces as a marketing tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franklin Delano Bluth Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 This thread all the contributions This. Jesus wept. FWIW, I don't think the men who served in McCrae's did it so that Hearts fans could use it as some shan attempt at one-upmanship. Further, to use McCrae's as a solely Heart of Midlothian Battalion is ignorant in the extreme. Many men served in the Battalion and i'm willing to bet some of those who served and died were Rangers fans. Long story short, punkrockcroc's post is a heap of ignorant, disrespectful, shite. On topic: it's not the worst thing Rangers FC has ever done. As others have said, you'd have to live a pretty protected life to be 'sickened' by the video.

Floyd Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I fail to see what is wrong with this video to be honest. Rangers supporters in the services celebrating and partying with fellow Rangers supporters. Would this thread have appeared if for example, it was Hearts fans in the services who were jumping around and posing with Section G or Section N giving it the 5-1?? OP is having a shocker, yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C00l K1d Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 The bit where the soldiers are jumping and what seems like singing along to derrys walls was a bit embarassing tbf. A lot of respect for these guys for going out and fighting for the country but at the end of the day they're still a bunch of rangers *****. Continued to watch the rest, and the bobby sands song You'd think they'd be under strict instruction no to get involved in any of that while in uniform, just to put a lid on any controversy.

2NaFish Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'm far from sickened, but iguess that's because I'm far from surprised. doesn't mean it isn't unpalatable. Oh, and oneupsmanship over dead soldiers is pathetic. 'oor laddies' chat is petty and vicarious,but to extend that by attaching some moral high ground and sanctimony to it is just awful.

Creepy Lurker Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Remember when these things used to be done in a quiet, dignified fashion and weren't exploited as a means of asserting one's Britishness or used as a stick with which to beat those not perceived to be grieving or respecting hard enough? It isn't sickening, but the hijacking of this and Remembrance Day by football clubs is crass and cheapens the event. You also have to wonder how many of those who go on about 'our brave, heroic lads' have ever met any soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP is having a shocker, yet again. Do you think the hypothetical crowd at Tynecastle would be singing Derry's Walls, etc, etc , etc ? Your question doesn't hold water and doesn't justify what went on at the Nurenburg Rally yesterday. I've heard it said that the armed forces personnel attended in a private capacity - Sevco didn't send out formal invites to MOD. I'd love to know if that is true. Either way , if some bigoted arned forces personnel want to go to Ibrox and be lauded that's fine. They shouldn't be doing it in uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alba gu Brath Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 OP your posts are sickening when NO comes around hope that's the last we see of you here . My auld man was in the services and he would've had more dignity than to dance with thousands of neds singing the Sash and other songs and that are supposed not to be heard at grounds these days. The photo below was taken before the squaddies took to the pitch apparently. If true, what does this say about some in our armed forces? Are Catholics, in Ulster or elsewhere, not entitled to equal rights? As an atheist I detest religion and the churches but I defend the right of individuals to believe in anything they want. This kind of stuff should not happen in 2013. Braindoners - the squaddies (those who danced with Ibrox 'people'_ and the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest C00l K1d Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 It is embarrassing this day in age that anyone is singing that stuff but lets no pretend the majority of soldiers are all like 'Ned Flanders' from the Simspons. Most of these squaddies are exactly the type of person i would expect to see at ibrox singing this shite, i just thought they (or their superiors) would have the basic common sense to keep a lid on it while they're in uniform infront of folk who're going to take videos.
