Locky Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Why so touchy over this? Even if I was a Rangers fan I'd find it hard to be seriously offended by this. In saying that, the whole 'new club, nae history' stuff is a bit tiring and wasn't even massively funny in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchmul Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Whenever I have a discussion with rangurz fans re the new club argument, I simply say this, if they are the same club, why did charles green have to buy the history of rangers from the administrators? It's the same argument if I bought a victoria cross from ebay, it doesn't mean i'm a war hero, just means I own the medal.

Yes the wonderful Rangers fans who fought each other in the stands and five were arrested. But apart from that.... Hearts took 3,000 to Palmerston and no arrests. Also the line about no bigotry or sectarianism shows why we wont stop it, as it has been twisted into it meaning anti-Rangers/Celtic by those sides. So if there is something negative against either team, their fans call the person bigoted (despite it not being the case.)

HighTimes Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Not hurting mate, I,m no hun, although I was in my hairy youth, as can be seen if you check out my few previous posts, simply stating the obvious, that in what modern day universe is it acceptable to mock opponents in an official match day programme ?. Everyone one on here hates Hibs, everybody hates Rangers and Celtic. But we have too much class as a club to print an OFFICIAL match day programme insulting opponents no matter how much we may personally despise said clubs. Its classless and us being in the main part a classy club wouldnt do it ourselves, So we shouldn't think its a smart move when perpetrated by others. Given it's all true, I'd be delighted if we printed something similar in the programme for the game in November. Actually, it'd be brilliant if every club who play the zombies did that.

DETTY29 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 The Livingston programme was over the top with continual over use of defunct, but elements of the truth seem to upset Rangers fans immensely. IMO there is no point programme editors going in to detail on what happened, or giving a view. So they should all just say, We welcome Rangers to xxxxx today. Here is their management and playing squad details. Name Squad number Age Height Weight (for a laugh if available) Previous club - with TUPEd to The Rangers Football Club when liquidation proceedings commenced against Rangers Football Club in June 2012 - for certain players. No putting the boot in, not getting involved history,titles, just saying it as it is in high level terms. Note - pretty much what I mentioned on the super thread.

jambovambo Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 "Really think that everyone should now just say that new and old gers are the exact same club from now on, and that there should be laws against telling the truth about new gers. That way the new gers fans will brainwash everyone into believing a myth." There's an old rangers. There's a new rangers. But they're the same. And anyone who points out that two different things, which apparently are the same, are in fact different should be arrested. About as over it as hibs are with 5-1. Schroediger's (sp) cat ...

tartofmidlothian Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Some of these programme digs are subtle as a brick. "We've had many great games against Rangers over the decades, like This Game, That Game and The Other Game. Today we're pleased to welcome them for the first meeting of our clubs since financial troubles saw them readmitted to the old Third Division in 2012." Cheeky, but polite and not desperate.

No comments or words on the history of Rangers or what happened during the last 3 years.
