We have to drown out TBB with boos

[El Toro]

Never thought i would say this i grew loving this song it was our anthem. But Rangers comes first and its not acceptable to sing this ever again. If some drunk wee neds start singing this on Thursday we as a support need to show we dont accept it and boo. Sing Rangers songs loud and proud bit not this crap anymore. Rangers first always.

The amount of hypocrites on here today is astounding.

Never thought I’d read this. A horrible thought.

 

[Laidlaw Loyal]

Blaming this on 'imaginary wee neds' doesn't help the fact that the whole stadium sing it. If the word 19th Century Terrorist needs to go, then the BB needs to go until it can be properly revised, I am sad to say. This is on all of us, though.

I agree but the consequences if we let it go dont bear thinking about

Wrong. It’s not on all of us. It’s on those who sing it

Too many people having a stroke (not the medical kind) over the opportunity to show their woke credentials to the 'Dinosaur support' who have followed the team for decades.

 

[Gascoigne]

Booing our former anthem? No, I just couldn’t do it. I’ve refrained from singing it for years but booing it just sounds horrific.

We went a good period without singing it and it’s had a relaunch this last couple of years. We are capable, but we have this “defiance” attitude and it’s now severely harming us.

 

[Laidlaw Loyal]

Wrong. It’s not on all of us. It’s on those who sing it

It's enough of the fans that you can say 'all' and be correct within a reasonable margin of error.

 

[bigneil65]

It's not just the billy boys though is it? If it was just this, chances are the club would have come out again and said stop singing TBB. The issue will be with alot more than just TBB.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

I remember when UEFA were going after us the last time and TBB was started up, it was booed then. Well, not the song but the people singing it.

 

[RWL12]

I know we are to ignore the other mob from the East... but chances are

1. Celtc fans will sing The Billy Boys in defiance and mockery

2. Celtc fans will have a banner next week, if not this week, with the word 19th Century Terrorist on it - in mockery again or support of themselves

I'll be there and I won't be singing it.

 

[Billy72]

All you need to do is sing another song louder.w.a.t.p. no surrender

 

[grangers]

Wrong. It’s not on all of us. It’s on those who sing it

That'll be everyone except you and a couple of others then

 

[Bluetothecore]

Unbelievable!!!
Why not change couple of words that offend the little delicate flowers?
No ban the song!
In fact just ban all songs for rangers supporters.
Pandering to the catholic’s that’s what they want!
I’ve not got a problem with changing words but banning every song that mentions pope,19th Century Terrorist and wat ever else offends them which is everything .its not alright way me!
Ooohhh whataboutery!!
Well sorry but it can’t be all one way!!! Level playing field for all.

 

[Shotas_Dance_Teacher]

TBB must stay, fantastic anthem that gets the ground rocking. If the Club got together with Club 1872 and other fan groups, changed a few lyrics and handed out leaflets, released statements along with word of mouth and a bit of self policing, it absolutely can be done!

 

[GR6Ger]

Too many people having a stroke (not the medical kind) over the opportunity to show their woke credentials to the 'Dinosaur support' who have followed the team for decades.

It’s nothing to do with being woke (a term that I fucking hate). It’s knowing not to do something that harms the club that we all love.

This isn’t a fight we are going to win. The time for fighting was over a decade ago - the club capitulated. There is nothing to be gained by singing TBB.

So what if they sing it?
As long as were not that's the main thing.
We need to deal with our own house first

 

[Hateley's Mullet]

If anyone thinks the songs are going to be cut out, or drowned out by boos, take a look at the threads on Rangers Media.
I can see us being kicked out of Europe this season, and I think that's the plan from UEFA.

And FWIW, I don't see how FTP can be classed as sectarian, or anything about the IRA. However, it's not really relevant to Rangers is it?

 

[Bada-Bing]

Any mentally challenged logged on reading the all the posts this afternoon must be pishing themselves. Bears arguing with bears. Suggestions of booing our own, shutting down sections.
Time to breathe and see what happens during the week.
No surrender, WATP.

 

[RWL12]

I get that, 100%

My point was more about them singing it to get us into trouble, or try to, or be tarnished further. I wasnt clear

 

[Ricksen]

Stop singing about 19th Century Terrorist blood and the pope. There’s no place for it.

I agree that we should bin the song if that is what resulted in the UEFA charge (I'm pretty sure it was?). It doesn't matter if you hate the word, as long as you understand its meaning. Which you do.

If uefa say it is what you going to do?

TBB shouldn't be a problem now, it should have been amended years ago when the imaginary letter from Uefa banning the tune was invented.

Instead the Club and the supporters associations gave it a body swerve, in essence saying just don't sing it, that was never going to happen and it never will.

It needs sorted, personally don't think anything is wrong with it but can live with one changed word, if meaningful discussion on it is brought forward I believe the other songs in question could be nullified as no one really cares that much for them, but I repeat, TBB will never go away.

That's the attitude mate

 

[Bri RTID]

Never thought i would say this i grew loving this song it was our anthem. But Rangers comes first and its not acceptable to sing this ever again. If some drunk wee neds start singing this on Thursday we as a support need to show we dont accept it and boo. Sing Rangers songs loud and proud bit not this crap anymore. Rangers first always.

I look forward to you posting up pictures of your black eyes

 

[Bluetothecore]

If uefa say it is what you going to do?

I would like the club to say we will tell the supporters must change the words or they’ll b banned from Ibrox.
Ooohhh let’s just ban simply the best, follow follow while we re at it eh !!!!!!!!

 

[Teddyjohn]

That's the attitude mate

It’s true.

 

[Steg]

Ok. So why will you sing it?

 

[BattlefieldBlue]

I’ll never boo TBB, and I’ll never let uefa or anyone else change the meaning of the ‘f’ word to suit their agenda.

Saying that, there are better times to sing these songs than at a football match. It’s really not that hard not to sing a song.

Away and boo yersel capisce.


I'll never boo that song.

aye, yeah think everyone will start singing the right words? Remember the wee book that went out years ago with the right words to the songs?!

Sing it and its strike 2 regardless if we boo

Astounds me the amount of folk on here pretending they don’t sing it, and its all down to UB.

I know most on here probably don’t actually go to games, but either I’m going nuts or I heard it belted out by the full stadium multiple times last season.

 

[weetam3106]

We all love belting out the party songs guys but time moves on, I LOVE Rangers more than I like belting out these outdated anthems.

Let’s get our club back to the top where we belong, dragging us into the gutter is going to kill us. We are up against it enough. Screw the fucking nut guys.

You did mate because I heard it too. The UB will be the scapegoat and it also gives the club the excuse they’ve been craving not to install any safe standing.

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Which department do you work in then ? I mean of the bbc lol

 

[Juanito2]

We need to keep singing this songs and focus on exposing the attacks on us as bigoted campaign of hate against us and their motives.We can't give in. We have to fight them .This isnt't fair or acceptable.

 

[Ricksen]

You say this but the whole stadium will be singing it on the 1st September.

And the celtic fans will be smiling from ear to ear when they hear it. They will be hoping and praying we sing about 19th Century Terrorist blood so they can record it and plaster it all over social media.

 

[Laidlaw Loyal]

Which department do you work in then ? I mean of the bbc lol

Ha! None, gladly. Socialist Kants that they are.

 

[Kris1872]

I posted on another thread a while back people need to stop moaning about it because it isn’t harming the club. Now it I take back what I said and sadly agree now people have the right to moan it is harming the club.

 

[Coda]

Why would booing it make a difference? FARE are waiting to hear as few as a single supporter singing it, so they can report back that our support as a collective are bigots, so that they can then ban us.

It doesn’t matter if the overall majority behave, we’re being systematically targeted here and being asked to be held to account for something that’s impossible for us to either police or control.

We've all sang it so there is no use in pointing fingers at each other. What is absolutely clear now is the song has to be binned immediately for the good of the club. That isn't up for debate.

 

[themightyi]

I suppose I’m a hypocrite as I have sang it, I loved it singing it but I don’t and won’t be singing it anymore.

It needs left in the past.

The reputation and status of the club means more than a song.

 

[Sam_Seaborn]

Too many people having a stroke (not the medical kind) over the opportunity to show their woke credentials to the 'Dinosaur support' who have followed the team for decades.

Maybe it’s just folk that would rather the necessary changes were made to benefit the Club, rather than coming across as petulant wanks that want to do whatever they like regardless of the consequences because they’ve followed the team ‘for decades’.

 

[giogaddi]

We need to keep singing this songs and focus on exposing the attacks on us as bigoted campaign of hate against us and their motives.We can't give in. We have to fight them .This isnt't fair or acceptable.

The club have told you today that you are not welcome at Ibrox if you want to sing these songs.

Woke? %^*& off with this pish. 3000 of our fans will be locked out on Wednesday and we've been told we could be booted out of the tournament if it continues. Some of us only care about Rangers football club being as strong as we can be.
