    I like to think we are aswell, yes all clubs have their * supporters that's just always going to be the case, my main point is theirs isn't the minority though and that's come from all that we are the people * if you get what I mean, I'm not painting all of their fans that way but as I said it's by no means a minority.

    Well maybe im biased a bit as i have so many of them in my life.......whatever the stats about good/bad fans.....its a sorry state of affairs to mock over children and teens being raped.

    I see John Swinney and James Dornan (complete tadger) have been vocal about having a full investigation into abuse of children with Football. They were also keen to argue that the SFA should foot the cost of this investigation.

    A suggestion to Mr Swinney and Dornan is that they should be looking at "ALL SPORTS" and having the relevant criminal authorities look after the whole investigation.

    Exactly the relevant police forces involved are already dealing with this issue, we all know who the * wanting an SFA investigation are, this goes way beyond any football jurisdiction anyway.

    They were never on the moral high ground...we were/are, until some of us started acting like them, and tried to justify it.
    Taking out your frustration by doing the same as they do, doesnt even things up, it just makes you as bad as them.

    There is no moral high ground to be taken on this issue.

    The kenny watson one is staggering no mention of it in the press.

    its sickening the only mention of it in the press or internet is a few sentences in the free library.

    Im not sure if im imagining it, but i think that was in the press at the time, but not much made of it. Not because he was a Rangers player, but more because he was more of a journeyman, rather than a Rangers stalwart, and also, at the time, Paedophilia was really not publically recognised as a crime or a condition....society in general kind of swept it under the carpet under some euphemistic terminology....like 'inappropriate behaviour' etc.

    Not sure if this has been answered or not. I'm not even sure if I'm right in what I'm saying. Just really would like to know what everyone thinks.

    Obviously they all sing the BJK song.

    As far as I'm aware, he kicked that sick * out the club when he found out. They say he should have phoned the police. I am pretty sure he would have went straight to the people in charge and reported it to them and left it in their hands - that's if they weren't aware of it, or even there with him.

    That, I think, is understandable. Looking back now, we can all say that he should have phoned the police on the * straight away. Hindsight and all that...

    Am I right in thinking though that our club re employed the horrible * once big Jock left?

    I don't like talking/reading into this sort of stuff - but it's quite hard to avoid it at the moment.
