Spot on.

Let's cut this shite out.

Where's the rest of our execs? Gerrard is the football manager, he shouldn't be the only one tackling this.

Because maybe they'll actually listen to the manager rather than an executive.

Mate they’ll not listen to anyone. They really won’t. Just check the responses to the threads in here. They’re STILL trying to defend themselves against the utterly indefensible

I’m sick to the back teeth of it. That decent fans will potentially miss a huge match because of them is sickening.

 

[1914-18]

We really need to adopt new words as TBB is a great rousing anthem and get it endorsed by the club

How many of the execs will have been doing a press conference today?

it is, nothing else can be said on it

BB, that's undoubtedly true of these execs. That's why we need a CEO who will defend the club's interests on and off the pitch and that includes getting into these boys heads.
King needs to accept what's afoot here.

That ship has sailed, no chance of reviving the tune.

 

[GR6Ger]

Embarrassing that some of our support have put him in the position of having to answer something like that.

The numbnuts won’t sing an adopted version,same way as they don’t drop the add ons.

There's a statement coming out mate, but Gerrard was doing the press conference for Sunday's game and was asked the question.

Hopefully our support takes heed of his appeal.

It’s not about changing one song, it’s the whole ethos. It’s 2019 not 1690.

Seriously? That's a defence of Gerrard being hung out to dry by their incompetence?

 

[SDF]

It's simple.

Keep singing the songs and sooner or later, not only will UEFA hit us harder but the manager will get so fed fúcking up of the support not listening to a single word he's saying and playing in front of empty stands that he'll head elsewhere.

Your choice Buckfast Brigade.

There already is. I had it on a cassette tape when I was 8 and thought they were the actual words until I started going to games regularly.

"We'll do anything to see our team,
At Ibrox or away,
For we are the Glasgow Rangers boys"

 

[Commentator]

If that's all it is it's another wasted opportunity, wouldn't surprise me, though.

 

[The Golden God]

Just wait till the usual suspects come to this thread.

"Al no be told what ah can sing "

Better coming from him. More gravitas than the exec team.

 

[ItsInTheNet]

He has called it right. We are the best supporters in the world and this is damaging us and our club beyond belief. It just has to end now.

 

[frankfurterbear1]

We were victims last night to sectarian singing, nothing said.

 

[alex wright]

Seriously? That's a defence of Gerrard being hung out to dry by their incompetence?

He was doing a press conference and was asked a question. How does that equate to him "being hung out to dry"?

Having someone protect a guy like Gerrard from answering the question would have been worse IMO.

The idiots who got us into this position are the ones to blame.

 

[Brian11Laudrup]

supposedly club doing a strong statement against the morons later

Pleasing

Whilst they’re at it, they may wish to highlight FARE and call them out for what they are

And maybe to ensure we’re treated equally, our club may want to start reporting the bheasts songbook to UEFA given that their sectarian songs target a large makeup of our fanbase

 

[ElBarrileteCosmico]

That should be enough for everyone.

Leave songs that get the club into bother for your pub or whatever. Today is a definitive sign that it is affecting us. TBB is a lost fight, unfortunately.

 

[Commentator]

That's because the exec team lacks someone who the fans identify as a leader, the club needs that 'someone'.

 

[Troy McClure]

Didnt they do a statement already?

 

[bigduds58]

That ship has sailed, no chance of reviving the tune.

Why? Are you saying if the words were changed and it was put to our board to examine it then give it the ok that we couldn't sing it

 

[RFC_Champions]

Never mind a statement. If they can identify any individuals responsible - removed their season ticket from them.

If it’s not season ticket holders responsible then ban said individuals from purchasing tickets for a year.

I agree but that's not what I'm on about. Don't say you've missed it?
The club needs an identifiable day-to-day leader, someone who will champion the club's interests on and off the pitch. Said someone should have issued a statement immediately on this being released. The manager shouldn't be the only one batting against this.

I’d suggest supporters singing these songs are more likely to listen to Steven Gerrard than anyone at boardroom level.

 

[mdingwall]

That will be great and really useful.

 

[Tpol_rfc]

That ship has long since sailed mate unfortunately.

 

[Blackpool Dave]

Let's see if the fans take heed of his appeal starting sun against st boo.

See post #29.

 

[tazzabear]

Because maybe they'll actually listen to the manager rather than an executive.

Maybe they’ll understand that Gerrard, or somebody else might walk away if we don’t fix this.

 

[KGR98]

Hasnt Gerrard had meetings with the megaphone guy of the UB before if so it could be done again to try and hammer the point home however that would do little to combat the pish and drugged up who attend our games and spout the bile

 

[WBD]

Just wait till the usual suspects come to this thread.

"Al no be told what ah can sing "

Those with that frame of mind so form a INBTWACS action group. Get themselves out there, fight their corner as well as they do on forums like this. Let's be having you.

 

[themightyi]

See post #29.

I don’t disagree but this is about getting a message across to an element of the support that will not listen.

They won’t listen to what they see as a random guy in a suit but they might listen to someone with the standing and level of respect as Steven Gerrard.

It’s thoroughly depressing but it’s the truth.

 

[Rangerstillidie]

supposedly club doing a strong statement against the morons later

Over and above the statement already on the clubs website?

 

[1914-18]

Foing by your logic we should drop

That ship has sailed, no chance of reviving the tune.

There is a chance, if we are talking about educating people then we need to keep it in our repertoire, it's a rousing anthem.

Take out up to our knees and replace with, we follow Glasgow Rangers, our hearts are strong and true, we are the Glasgow Rangers boys, then again the feminists may have something to say about boys!

For what it's worth, I play in the flute band, I am a Unionist and a protestant, I love loyalism and love singing the songs at loyalist evenings but when I go watch Rangers I genuinely dont want to sing about Celtc, the pope, Catholics, Bobby sands or the terrorists from Ireland, I want to sing pro Rangers and Unionist songs

I agree with that, but even if said person had issued a statement Gerrard would still have been asked for his opinion at his press conference.

 

[BrooklynBlue]

12 hours after asking for a great atmosphere and support next Thursday in an effort to get us into the Group Stages... we've got this.

All a bit sad. We never seem to be able to just enjoy the football.

 

[Gramps1]

Change one word to Celtic


Btw not that they would know but it’s all over Twitter is the fucking 50 p flute song another song that could/should have been tweaked so it doesn’t mention our favourite subject.

 

[Brian Laudrup]

No doubt someone will be along shortly to tell us they get away with singing what they want,I don’t fucking care what they do it’s what we do that matters to me and maybe just maybe Steven Gerrard saying it will get through to them that TBB is an unacceptable song l

 

[RangersEasyOK]

If you can’t listen to the leader of the football club, you’re scum pure and simple

 

[legalbeagle]

Seriously? That's a defence of Gerrard being hung out to dry by their incompetence?

Who is it hanging him out to dry? I was under the definite impression it was a section of our support. I remember Walter Smith saying the same sort of thing as Gerrard. How about the fans just listen to the club and do what they ask?
