How to respect the beliefs and culture of others with dignity

This from the "well-behaved" supporters hand-picked by Rangers FC to travel to Lisbon for the UEFA cup tie. The comments associated with the video on youtube are a mixture of foreigners bemused and disgusted at the banner, and knuckle dragging huns revelling in it. They really don't get it do they? This was actually posted by someone who is clearly a Rangers supporter. In true knuckledragging style the Rangers support can't even get their racial stereotype correct. But, hey, Korea is just up the road from Japan and they all look the same anyway. I hear the French are all just a bunch of transvestite haggis-munchers too.

From this to Artur's "voodoo" and BJK, hatred is like oxygen to those who follow Rangers. And I'm afraid that I do not accept this poison comes only from the legendary "small minority". As I pointed out, this is supposed to represent those Rangers supporters who can be trusted to keep up the club's reputation. They certainly managed that.

The guys in the studio thought it was funny, just like Scott Booth thought Boyd's dive was. I wonder if the media would be so reticent if Celtic fans unfurled a banner calling Daniel Cousin a cannibal?




The Artur Boruc "Voodoo" banner was the work of the "Blue Order" a group who are officially sanctioned by the club to lead and direct the choir in a "non-sectarian" manner. Again I say if this is the "cream" of the Rangers support they are even more rotten than I had imagined. Plenty of stewards and police who could have intervened. Sorry I was being silly there.



Didn't want to embed this one, but if you have a particularly strong stomach, here is a link to a "minority" of Rangers supporters demonstrating concern for the victims of child sex abuse with dignity.

Who in their right mind would willingly be associated with this stuff?
