Jonbluefox9 Posted 10 August 2005 Share Posted 10 August 2005 Not sure. My Dad's mate who's not into football said that they both go to the same pub as him in Quorn but he wouldn't know them if he tripped over them. He said they were all ripping Gerry on the Saturday night after his sending off. Some of my mates have seen Rab walking round the village when they go to the shops at lunch.

SilverFox Posted 10 August 2005 Share Posted 10 August 2005 Whats orange got to do with being a catholic sorry if im being thick 154304[/snapback] Aww Bless (In a nutshell) It dates back to when the first protestants left Scotland for Ireland. They were followers of William of Orange, and went to Ireland initially to seek the deposed Catholic King, who they eventually defeated. That is why the orange order still march today, and has been a point of much conflict between Irish Catholics and loyalist protestants. Many find the marches to be antagonistic (including myself), however, I take heart in the knowledge that the vast majority of people in Ireland now seek peace, and and end to their petty differences. Thankfully peoples perceptions are always changing. I myself am all but married to a protestant girl despite being an Irish catholic, and this has caused no problems for anyone (As John Lennon said, Love is the answer). I find it a bit sad that Rab won't wear a shirt because of its colour, but equally I can respect it as the tensions between protestant and catholic are still extremely high in Glasgow where he has come down from. Often peoples minds are the greatest barriers to break down. Lets just hope we can build on the drive for peace currently coming out of Ireland, especially in times likes these.

We dont want him gaining a 7 year prison sentence A quite word in the shell-like is called for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted 12 August 2005 Share Posted 12 August 2005 When I first read this, I went, "whoa, whoa, whoa! Did I not see Rab Douglass modeling Leicester's orange keeper shirt this summer?" Then I remembered seeing a photo of Douglass with the new keeper shirts in the Blue Fox magazine--the article was about the new orange keeper shirt, but instead of wearing it, Douglass was wearing the silver one with the orange shirt on a hanger next to him! I guess he's got his scruples! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
