Do you do this leaving Ibrox . . .

[AbronhillBear]

Every single time. Just incase I never make it back to the place that means more to me than anywhere else on Earth. Lift my boy up so he can do it too.

 

[jaws73]

Did it when I was young and stupid.

I still do it (#OldStupidLoyal).

 

[Helanders Beard]

Every single time, always have done as a sort of ‘see you next time’, I don’t even think about it now it’s an automatic reflex as I walk out.

 

[PMG1872]

Nope. Never have...never will.

 

[bluetonic]

Yes always

 

[Bluerhap]

Every time since 1964. My dad used to lift me up to do it. Said it was saying thank you to Ibrox and that I would be back.

 

[clubdeckcharlie]

Yes, both my son and I do it.

 

[BlueAllOver]

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

Itl be like when John hartson has to count to eleven - he has to pull out his boaby.

 

[RangersEasyOK!]

Never, it’s Tim behaviour.

A tradition at Ibrox is tim behaviour.

SNP levels of logic there

 

[RangersEasyOK!]

Yeah every game.

Its a place I love and saying goodbye incase its my last time.

 

[JW1988]

For as long as i’ve been tall enough. Can’t even remember why I started doing it. It’s now more a superstitious and sentimental thing especially after stuff like 2012 and covid lockouts.

 

[RaskolnikovBear]

Every time. When I was too small Grandpa lifted me up.

Knew what it was going to be before opening the thread.

 

[RangersEasyOK!]

I’ve done it before in the past but haven’t done it for a long time. Wasn’t even tempted to do it on Saturday.

The racket off people doing it I find quite annoying these days. Bang bang bang some people don’t just touch it they smack it or punch it. Strange

You dont do it and you wear petrol blue to games.



Hhhmmmmmmm?

 

[Nopapacnoparty]

Always. My boy has been lifted and jumped, now can reach himself. No idea why , just always have done !

 

[luckywhitefeather]

I used to do it before covid
Not touching it now

 

[jaws73]

[foxinthebox]

I do it at every doorway, a big hard slap…got some weird looks going into the library and was asked to leave a funeral.

 

[PT98]

Na. Never seen the point.

 

[Andrew webb]

Always

 

[the mason]

All the time

 

[Madjid Moments]

After every game leaving the east enclosure

 

[pelem]

Leaving from the EE exit at the John Greig Statue I tap 4 times, For the League, Scottish Cup,League Cup & Europe.

One of my wee foibles.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Yes every time I leave Ibrox as I don’t go as much as I used to,so I don’t know if it will be my last visit.i don’t know why but the last few years I have kissed my hand just before I tap the exit.

 

[Mosschops]

Yes every time i leave

 

[Boddah]

Every time. Could be your last.

 

[Toosh]

always do it and can remember lifting my kids to do it..don’t get up as often as I used to do so it really means something to me personally, bit daft but there you go

 

[Diego Maradona]

No, and I don’t believe in fairies or goblins either

 

[km_2083]

Used to before covid, don’t now

 

[Tommyrfc]

Yes and proud to say my son does it also

 

[Blueboy1975]

Iv done it a few times.

 

[GRCC43]

Always.

 

[Jamiegatami]

No, I give the bar on the emergency exit door an old fashioned handshake.

 

[RfcIbrox]

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

I tap the outside of planes on the way in the door. Haven't crashed yet.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Yes sure do

 

[Big Joke New]

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.

That's what I always thought and why I don't do it.

As for tradition - you could only have done that since about 1980 unless they were doing it in the old main stand which I highly doubt. So it's not an old tradition (not for people of my age anyway!) EDIT - forgot about the old enclosure maybe that's where it was done

It's harmless but not for me

 

[pelem]

Never, it’s Tim behaviour.

Away you and do wan, Ya Wanger.

And that's me being kind tae ye.

 

[kilwinningbear]

No, pointless

Ah, the futility of life. We are but stardust joined together for a blink in the eye of time. Why do we even exist and what is the point of it all? Is that what you are aiming for here? Or are you just miserable?

Anyway. I do it every single time. No idea why, but to quote parklife, it gives me an enormous sense of well-being.

 

[Monty_greenock34]

Threatens the structure of the brickwork.

Every fan that does this is effectively knocking Ibrox down.

Hope yer happy.

 

[MYR_93]

I tap it with how many goals we scored that day. Don’t know why.

 

[yosser hughes]

never did it ,and never felt the need to do it

 

[Plantation pioneer]

Nope.

 

[Daplaya]

Every single game I go to

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Aye.

Must be ingrained in peoples nature my kids never seen anybody do it he’s only started going and just randomly tries to do it haha

 

[RobGer]

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?

Probably - I've never understood why people mostly reach up and touch a green and white Exit sign on the way out.

 

[PT98]

Wonder if the early leavers do it as well.

Obviously no one on here is gonna admit to leaving early so I'll need to keep an eye out for it the next time I leave with 5 mins to go.

 

[VGM]

Was your dad Geppetto?

I’ll bet he has been inside a few whales in his time.

 

[LadyBearBelfast_CD5]

I've always done it. Though on the days I wear trainers I struggle to reach it!

 

[McCoist’sTinHat]

Ah, the futility of life. We are but stardust joined together for a blink in the eye of time. Why do we even exist and what is the point of it all? Is that what you are aiming for here? Or are you just miserable?

Someone will be along in a minute to tell you feeding the sparrows is pointless…

 

[Realger34]

Yes but I couldn’t tell you why I do it, I just do.

 

[Blue boy]

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

Guy with long arms.
