TsuMirren Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Those who want to turn a blind eye are the very reason we still have an Old Firm. We had a chance to get rid of Rangers for good in 2012, which, at the same time, would have been Celtic's death knell. It would have been a huge improvement not just to Scottish football but to society in general. This is the most important issue in Scottish football. By far. Rae and Carswell should both be sacked. I won't be back till they are both gone. The club needs to make a stand. You don't think that maybe it's the huge worldwide following that both those clubs have? All your other statements there are barely worth looking at. They'd attach themselves to someone else, Airdrie for example, and I really doubt society would change that much. Everyone in Scottish football says they aren't a new club, so it's more a Parma situation than Halifax for example. Actually, your statement about not coming back should be applauded so long as it includes this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we know that you don't You are the thousands of others who don't give a fcuk ate the very reason why sectarianism in Scotland wasn't stamped out in 2012. Rae & Carswell must go. English please.

E=Mc2 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) I would think our manager would love to manage the team he supports. We all would want to be involved at the team we support. If Alex is able to prove to Rangers that he has that ability by, for instance, making us a consistent top six team in the SPL then I would thank him and wish him well. Edited due to predictive text.

iTony Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I seriously wonder if some people actually hate the old firm more than they love their own club. There's no need to wonder about it, Doctor. It is factually correct that some of our "fellow" St. Mirren "Supporters" love to hate the Old Firm than love St. Mirren. I suspect they are actually supporters of Celtic and Rangers in disguise and trying way too hard to hide their true leanings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddieup Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 If Rae had taken a free ticket in with the prawn sandwich brigade he'd be accused of not putting money back into Scottish football or some such. He can't really win. In all honesty, I dreaded something like this when Rae was appointed. I was concerned he would openly flaunt his Rangers leanings in the press and online, but to my pleasant surprise, he hasn't. He has been nothing but respectful towards his employers and the job at hand, and to the St Mirren supporters. He does not need to do this, but he has out of courtesy. He isn't wearing Rangers "colours" in that photo. And as far as I'm aware, he wasn't belting out The Sash during the game. He is a paying supporter watching his former club (well, disguised as his former club). Unfortunately that club happens to be one of the Old Firm. This is in stark contrast to Carswell's actions, who without any respect or regard for the club or fans who pay his wages, gladly belittled his team's local derby. In an era where St Mirren are trying to grow a fanbase and change a generation-old OF-centric mindset in Paisley/Renfrewshire, Carswell perpetuated this destructive way of thinking as an employee of the club, and should be setting a better example. In sum; Rae = good guy, Carswell = wank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TPAFKATS Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Alex Rae outed as a rangers fan. Why didn't the board know about this before appointing him. Shocking :-o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJP Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Haven't read through all of this but 8 pages on a Rangers fan going to a Rangers game on his day off, not crowing about it on social media like some others leaves me slightly bewildered. Plenty of personalities were at the game last weekend, woop-de-do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking :-o The fact that he's a Rangers fan isn't the issue. I think most folk can deal with that. We wouldn't get very far if we ignored everyone who supports the Old Firm. But he should keep it to himself. The fact that the St. Mirren manager was actually openly supporting Rangers at a live game in amongst Rangers supporters is the issue. The fact that they are a club with a business model based on exploiting sectarianism, hatred and violence makes it worse. Not surprised that you don't have a problem with that.

In sum; Rae = good guy, Carswell = wank. He was also watching a team he knew we'd be facing in a league match a few weeks later. It would be madness not to use that opportunity to do a bit of intelligence on them. Nobody should be in any doubt here. Alex may well have wanted Rangers to win but there is absolutely no doubt he'd have been taking notes as well. Of course I expect that hadn't occurred to the forum numpties.
