Bad Robot 21,031 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 It seems we as a fan base don't want to surrender the Billy Boys to the bin so can I please ask that people post their suggestions in this thread.Once we have a good number of suggestions over the next couple of weeks I will put them all up on a poll.I will look over the past threads but even if you posted before please repost here as it will make it easier for me to pull them all together.Can we also keep this thread to suggestions only and keep any debate about legal issues, favourite suggestions, when and how to promote new words etc to the other threads.

JCDBigBear 10,763 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 My opinion is to revert to lyrics from yesteryear:Hullo, Hullo, we are the Rangers boysHullo, hullo, you'll know us by our noise,We follow Glasgow Rangers,Our hearts beat strong and true,We Are The People who cheer the boys in blue.

Dan Dan Ey 48 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 The original lyrics would be the best:Hullo, HulloWe are the Rangers BoysHullo, HulloYou'll know us by our noiseWe're down to our knees to see our teamAt Ibrox or awayFor we areThe Glasgow Rangers Boys Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekJohnstone 1,135 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I think I posted a lyric before but here goes, "we're up to our knees in political can't rollover or you'll die". I'm sure the can't will be substituted to something else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaywalker 377 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Can folk not get it through their heads, being up to our knees in fuckin blood will never be acceptable to anyone who matters. LIVE WITH IT...Hullo, Hullo, we are the Billy boysHullo, hullo, you'll know us by our noise,We are the Glasgow Rangers,Our hearts are strong and true,WE ARE THE PEOPLE who cheer the boys in blue. Seems to be the only option,it is not a kick in the arse off what we had, it is the only version the club could sanction and it gives us back our anthem. Stick your fenians and rebels up your arse it aint going to happen, why waste good typing time rattling on about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said, the Hullo Hullo is the most important bit.I was really just pointing out the role the media played. Nobody was ever offended by the song, they were only jealous that when we sing it the place is absolutely bouncing.

Ayrshirebear73 27 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 New words sanctioned by the club. Up on screens to get everyone to know them is the way to go about it. So I'd suggest. No to Fenian rebel etc. no to up to our knees in blood. Prob no to surrender or ull die. Prob no to billy boys. So....Hello hello we are the rangers boysHello hello ull know us by our noiseWe'll follow follow rangers Our hearts are strong and trueWe are the people who cheer the boys in blueOr We're followers of rangers.....

Fuck all wrong with Rebel or Celtic Blood...about time we got a backbone!Can you honestly not get your head round the connotations about being "up to your knees in blood" or why it would be unacceptable to the various bodies who run the show.Check out the Flat Earth Society website, you should like it there.
