Before we go any further let me state once again that I love the concept, notion and reality of a RSC in Dublin. As I've said to some of their members in the flesh; 'It's easy to be a Rangers supporter when you've been born and bred in Bridgeton, BUT Dublin?'
I'll leave it to others more in the know about these things to correct any mistakes here; but I believe it was on the 5th Feb, 2005 when Fernando Ricksen was whacked in the face by a zippo.
That's right, Feb, 2005, over three years ago, and still the zippo hurler hasn't been caught. That is if there was ever a credible attempt to catch him in the first place. (Compare and contrast Glasgow Plod finding the fizzy water hurler at Ibrox?)
That day the RST pointed out that Mr Plod NINETY TIMES more likely to arrest a Rangers fan for sectarianism than a yahoo, back in the November of that same year in a League Cup tie. That's despite 50,000 of them giving it 'Sad Orange Bastard' to McLeish.
I was always brought up to believe in law and order, good should always triumph over bad etc, etc; I'm now beginning to wonder. You do have to laugh at this 'Masonic Polis' assumption though, which is as much a myth as the notion that Sellik were formed as a vehicle of social inclusion.
Because there can be no doubt that the normal, nominal Prod, Peeler doing his communal duty here in the present day west of Scotland, is every bit as bad as Fritz, who said he had to do 'bad stuff' in WW2 because he was told to from above, during the Nazi regime. 'I really didn't want to do it, but I was told to.'
Some people may look on the above as being extreme; tell you what though, the next time you are in the company of a West of Scotland Police Officer who happens to be a bluenose, ask him why you will be nicked for singing 'The Billy Boys'?
He will shuffle all apologetically and murmur guff about how he has to uphold the law. Well, let's just call him Constable Billy Liar because the coward doesn't have the balls to uphold the law when it concerns Timbo. Ask Constable Liar why he allows IRA sympathisers to traipse around the streets of Glasgow ignoring these very same, sectarian laws he is paid to uphold?
Maybe after that query, you could also ask him why the 'Evolution' banner is deemed as being comical or banter but a BJK effort, is not? (And no, I don't think the Boys Club scandal is a laughing matter) Now even you happy-clappy bluenoses out there that don't care about the religious angle should be asking about the blatant double standards at play here.
This latest attempt by this present shambolic regime, to hem in the support, is not the first and certainly won't be the last actions of a negligent man cum absentee landlord and the assorted bunch of morons and cretins he employs, to run us into the ground.
To The Dublin Loyal and the RST, I wish you all the best of luck - you'll need it!
