What has really annoyed me over the last day or two is the idea that we haven’t cleaned up our song book.i started going regularly to games in the early 80’s.my first cup final was 1981 and it was dubbed the Bobby sands final as we celebrated his death from start to finish.people complain about the mention of him in fathers advice but don’t acknowledge that we haven’t sang the chicken supper song for decades.i sang a lot worse back then than you will ever hear nowadays and thousands of us did.i will never be a hypocrite and point the finger at our younger support such as the union bears who by and large come up with new rangers songs when we were singing about “hating Roman Catholics” at the piggery and shooting 19th Century Terrorist Huns for walking on the queens high way.look at the video of the 1984 league cup final and how loud here lies a soldier is.Some people love taking the moral high ground.
Won’t be me, I’d feel like too much of a hypocrite. If we do sing certain songs tomorrow then it will only be guys doing what we’ve all done, gone to an away game with mates, had a few drinks and a sing song.
It’s so ingrained in the culture that it’s just part and parcel of following Rangers. A culture, by the way, that we’ve all contributed to in some way. I think people should remember that before the inevitable finger pointing.
I really don’t think it’s as bad as some are making out,it’s a handful at best that’s the problem and I am confident that our support will drop them as we did it before.
