Do you do this leaving Ibrox . . .

[mdingwall]

 

[The Director]

Every single time. I treat every game like my last now as we never know what’s round the corner.

 

[Live Forever]

Yes

 

[Theblueloyal]

Ever since i could reach .....Yes.

 

[NeilFifeLoyal]

Yep don’t know why though suppose it’s because my uncle used to do it every single time we left Ibrox.

 

[Otis Blue]

Every time for 30 odd years. My son also now.

 

[archimedes]

I wonder who the guy was that started that...

 

[Rangerscoverboy]

No, pointless

 

[PaxBritannica]

Ever since i could reach .....Yes.

My old man lifted me up first time and then I’ve done it ever since I was real enough.

 

[Kris1872]

My granda always taught me to do this because he said “you never know if it’s your last time being here”

Get a lump in my throat doing it now. Something I’ll never take for granted going to Ibrox.

 

[VGM]

I do it but no idea why?

What’s the origin of it and what is it to represent?

Like the poster above said, is it in case we never visit Ibrox again?

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Every single time.

 

[Skoosh1872]

Always….although when we came back after Covid I’ll admit to covering my hand with my sleeves for a while.

 

[superallythe2nd]

Yip, never know that it could be your last time.

 

[bluereason]

Do it every single time i leave. Watched my dad doing it and he used to lift me to do it too. A tap of gratitude and passion for the club we all love.

 

[Jeepster]

I have this weird thing where I tap the sign with the number of fingers for the goals we have scored that day Anyone else?

 

[Blutoe]

I don’t but both sons do

 

[Bouncebackability]

Never done it, too late to start now.

 

[Highway Star]

Yep

 

[BGB]

Never done it. Do people also tap their house on the way out the door?

 

[Main Stand]

Yep, lovely bit of conformity.

I’m sure a bloke on here the other day posted something like ‘this annoys me, been going since 1967 and I assure you we didn’t do this back then’

 

[Tommy48]

Nope never have and never will. By the way don't see many affectionate touches mostly absolute batterings & I keep waiting on plaster falling off.

 

[Northampton Lodger]

No, always thought it was a Liverpool thing from when the players used to touch the this is Anfield sign. Seemed to start in the 80’s, either that or I never noticed until then.

Reading the replies above I get why some do it if they were following their dad and grandpa. I would be standing outside the pub with a bottle of coke and a packet of crisps until five past three if I kept my family tradition going.

 

[TerryArcade]

Heard a wee boy last season ask his Dad to lift him up to do it. The Dad said "No, you need to keep trying every time we come back until you're tall enough to do it yourself, that way it'll feel better"

 

[Boab]

I have this weird thing where I tap the sign with the number of fingers for the goals we have scored that day Anyone else?

Im now praying more than ever that we score 11 one day to find out how you manage that one lol

 

[Wang]

Never, it’s Tim behaviour.

 

[Dr Steve Brule]

Yes, but ensuring I don't touch the green emergency exit signs.

 

[rangers1962]

Always wondered why it has to be above the door? And what’s the point of it ? It’s only a metal cover above the door.

 

[BORGUEBEAR]

Every time

 

[The Royal Standard]

Always!

 

[VGM]

Im now praying more than ever that we score 11 one day to find out how you manage that one lol

If he’s from Ayrshire or Strathblane he will be fine.

 

[VGM]

Never, it’s Tim behaviour.

Tapping Ibrox is Tim behaviour?

 

[dbear]

If this was through the 80's then we probably know each other Spent many an hour wondering when the %^*& they would come out!

 

[PMB1872]

Absolutely. It’s like saying cheerio to the stadium until the next time I’m there.

 

[rangersno.1]

Yea every time

 

[Professor Yaffle]

No. Never have

 

[PMB1872]

Heard a wee boy last season ask his Dad to lift him up to do it. The Dad said "No, you need to keep trying every time we come back until you're tall enough to do it yourself, that way it'll feel better"

My son asked to be lifted up to do it at the St Johnstone match.

 

[MJN 55]

Yes,for years.

 

[Canada Bear]

Never, superstitious nonsense.

 

[theryesider]

Big mate does it every game, does it not have its origins from Liverpool players touching the “this is Anfield” sign before entering the park?

 

[humie]

I’ve managed to get a few tickets over the past year or so for me and my youngest. Used to have a season ticket cf4 but had to give it up a few years ago due to work etc, but used to do it every time I left.
Now that I have been taking my youngest(to small to do this) I have to lift him up so he can do it before exiting.

 

[Brian Laudrup]

Always,its a see you next time kind of thing

 

[Brother Moses]

Always.

 

[Deco1978]

Always

 

[Gios_Gillet]

Tradition ain't it and we are a club built on traditions, it's one of the things that sets us apart from the plastic clubs.

 

[bl.11]

Not for me though my boy does it.

 

[Northampton Lodger]

If this was through the 80's then we probably know each other Spent many an hour wondering when the %^*& they would come out!

I was on the inside of the pub by the 80’s. Yep, I agree that feeling of going from the buzz of travelling to the game to standing on your own outside a pub for an eternity thinking they had forgot about you.

 

[zorro]

Every single time. Even when leaving after FFIT

 

[Woody]

This thread is offensive to midgets.

 

[CooperBlue]

My old man lifted me up first time and then I’ve done it ever since I was real enough.

I don’t do it, never saw the point.
