Rawrrrrrrr Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 http://www.eleven-a-side.com/droghedautd/news.asp?n=35238 What a horrific article, how sad is it the fact rangers are possibly looking at a centre half, can give someone such an option to write about nationality/sectarianism.

jambojim52 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 The point is Rankers are probably only signing him so they can say " Look we are not the bigoted ones" The whole OF crap makes me boke. If a player is good enough, should be the only reason for any team to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumped by Dundee Utd and being sought after by football power houses like Ipswich and Hamilton Academicals. Go on ye Gers. Sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a number of Catholics in their team from far afield, why people search for stuff or make it up i just cant fathom.

The reason I posted this was tongue in cheek and was in responce to the Celtic fans having a go at rangers, for the lack of southern Irish players. Sorry if you took this the wrong way.

You know as well as I do that they perceive a difference between irish and European/"mainstream" Catholicism.

IMA MAROON Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 You know as well as I do that they perceive a difference between irish and European/"mainstream" Catholicism. Neil Lennon was shown around Ibrox when he was a youth but his old man did want him playing for Rangers. Catholics from everywhere on the planet bar here and Ireland have no problem signing for Rangers. It is not difficult to work out who really are the bigots.

phoenix Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 He told Newstalk?s Off the Ball show on Tuesday: ?Obviously, Rangers are a predominantly British club and Celtic are a predominantly Irish club, so people are going to say ?Why didn?t you go to Celtic??. ?I think Celtic have a monopoly on all the young lads in Ireland and they can come in and get the pick of it. Who?s to say Celtic should sign all Irish players and Rangers should sign all English or Protestant Scottish players? I don?t think that?s fair.?QUOTE] What a dick the boy is. "Rangers should sign all English or Protestant Scottish players"? How many English players do they have on their books just now? And, far be it for me to defend Rangers, but they've had a fair amount of European Catholics play for them in recent years...not just Scottish proddies.

Rods Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Correct. It's a pity that the sectarian issue is too valuable a point-scoring exercise for either side to have any serious intention to wipe it out. I was thinking the very same not just point scoring it is money spinning for both. There marketing teams must have nowt to do. They both come out and say they want to stamp out bigotry Then on the other hand they say that they must show pride in the Irish/british roots. Therefore promoting bigotry why cant they both show pride in there scottish roots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live not too far from there on the southside. TBH, most people here have no idea who anyone outside of the OF are. Sad but true. I have an English-born mate who is also a bluenose, and he does take quite a bit of stick over that - but a lot less now than a few years ago.
