Still even if they do the titles will always be Rangers in the minds of their fans. Celtic count the goals they scored during WW2 even though they aren't officially theirs (funnily enough their record defeat to Rangers during that period isn't counted in their records  ) |
AHA, I'm beginning to spot the commonality of the Rangers Supporters' skills of debate.
Deflect your wrongdoing by introducing a comparison to another team, no matter how irrelevant it is... Don't show any contrition because "we're the people".
I can't say I've ever heard any Celtic Fans boasting of war time goals as one of their achievments? Perhaps as individual scoring records and usually with a footnote. It's generally agreed, as a matter of sporting integrity, that wartime records aren't official. Some Clubs had all their players on the front line and relied on guest players. Other clubs had players available because they were in vital industies - like the shipyards in Govan
The Celtic supporters mostly remember those special achievements outwith the war years, like VE Cup, Coronation cup, Empire Cup, First team to achieve 9 in a row, first British team to win a big silvery thing in 1967... what was it called again.
(They won everything they entered that year, it's so difficult to remember them all
)
A big cup that Moonbeams wanted so badly that he's killed your club trying to achieve it, by any means - foul or, erm, fouler.
I love your Ben Johnson approach to Sporting Integrity.
It doesn't matter what the Rangers fans think - the history books will forever portray them as cheats.
History to be proud of:
RFC(deceased 2012) aka Scotland's Shame
won 49 Scottish titles *
*won 54 on the park but stripped of titles because they
cheated.
Won European Cup Winners Cup 1972*
*Couldn't defend trophy after being banned from Europe for 1 year (Fans rioting in Barcelona)
Won the UEFA fair play award after their UEFA Cup Final defeat in Manchester
in 2008 due to their fans good natured banter.
(One part of this may not be true
)
