There's been progress with the songbook over the last few years with new additions but still feel we are short of songs that everyone knows and is willing to sing, when compared to 20 years ago and more. This means songs need to get used too often during games and that will no doubt put people off if you've just put your all into a song then the same one comes up 15 minutes later. Also some of the newer songs seem a bit generic and are sung by many clubs so I prefer the old traditional songs such as Derry's Walls, The Sash, Born Under a Union Jack, Follow Follow, Build My Gallows and also Blue Sea of Ibrox, 4 Lads, Every Saturday We Follow. I feel that Every Saturday We Follow especially is a bit overused these days. Have seen some people saying they don't like Build My Gallows but to me that's the kind of song we need to keep as, regardless of whether in the lyrics are relevant, it's so tuneful and a total contrast to the standard chants that all sound the same from the likes of the Brondby support. We're Coming Down The Road is the same for me and can't be dropped.
There didn't seem to be any points in the game on Thursday against Brondby where everyone was up singing so I would expect the Brondby support not to be overly impressed with Ibrox on our Thursday's showing. There's many reasons for this that have already been discussed in another thread.
We can't give up the fight on getting two of our best songs back - Billy Boys and Super Rangers.
Nowadays we can't be singing about hating anybody so just need to change the line "We hate ceptic, flipping bassas" to something more positive about Rangers. The change in lyrics would need to be communicated to the fans, and the club would need to be seen to be making this effort to change the words.
For the Billy Boys it's more difficult as there will be so many that would lapse into the old words out of habit. It's an easier song to sing at the top of your voice than something like Follow Follow or Derry's Walls and its terrible that we have allowed ourselves to be censored in this way. I'd be happy to revert to the older traditional words to get the song back. We need to set the agenda of getting our songs back rather than waiting for our enemies to try and take more away.
