When the bears were belting out this old favourite. The hairs on the back of my neck were standing on end.
it is usA stirring anthem that too many disregard.
It's part of us.
And not even if its cold and windyOn nights like last night I am not ashamed to admit that it leads to something in my eye.
What a night at Ibrox, amazing
Nothing as rousing (that we're allowed to sing) in my opinion
Maybe this older Bear is being pedantic, but I genuinely wish our supporters would sing the correct words to the song:
"King James and all his rebel band came up to Bishops Gate
With heart and hand and sword and shield, we forced them to retreat".
How the wrong words to that second line above came to be altered to "we'll guard old Derry's walls" by so many Bears over the past 20 years astounds me.

Nothing better when the full stadium is in full voice.Our greatest battle anthem.
Guaranteed the minute we sing those lyrics FARE and the snp will go after it.Maybe this older Bear is being pedantic, but I genuinely wish our supporters would sing the correct words to the song:

Small point but, I just wish we’d sing the correct words.A stirring anthem that too many disregard.
It's part of us.
I get the disdain for FARE but, how could they object more to the proper words than the words used just now?Guaranteed the minute we sing those lyrics FARE and the snp will go after it.
When a full Ibrox sings it I get goosebumps.

Any chance we could sing the right words? So much better.
The words we sing now sadly make any kind of sense.Any chance we could sing the right words? So much better.

Totally agree , it’s fucking electric when sung in this scenario and always seems 10 times louderI love it when this comes out when we're under pressure.
the correct words haven’t been sung since I have been going to games for 40 odd years.I just wish the correct words were sung.
