TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 It's by far our best chant.That's the problem, too many will sing the version we've always sung and not accept any replacement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterD 7,435 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 You can find threads on here going back as far as 2007 about The Billy Boys and changing the words. If it was going to happen it would have done so within 6 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdylaniscrap 121 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Fenian is not sectarian. Until republicans stop gloryfying the fenian word, I can use it as a description of the 'victims'.Hating the Roman church is not sectarian. I hate the covering up of decades of child abuseThese are my beliefs and not RM's Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queens 11 127 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Obviously none come close to the original but I like 7, 11 and 16. Also, the one recently sung in the section (20) is good but I wouldn't class it the same as the other options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christchurch Rangers 1,229 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Is there an extended dance mix version that I can vote on ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christchurch Rangers 1,229 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 quite like number 11 actually Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottoke 7 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Why are people suddenly claiming we can sing the original again because there is no rule against it? Wasn't there a committee set up for this just a few months ago, which had to disband because it quickly became apparent that they had hit a stumbling block (presumably due to some law or rule...)?

Copland bear 7,966 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Number 16. But why Rebel scum? Rebel blood is the version we should use. Change as little as possible, ie, one word Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 16 but in my head they all sound wrong its like taking a 5yr olds first art work and calling it a Picasso it just doesn't fit unless its the original Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4XGERSBF3 240 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 11 is the best option i think. Nothing compared to the original but good enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coop troop 106 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Rebel blood?This or the original.Rhebel bloodMhanky bloodFhilthy bloodVhermins bloodAre the only ones I've heard which even come close. I'm not of a mind to follow some incorrect resolution made by those who ain't got a clue what they are on about. Has nobody ever opened their ears in this counry? Worse is said every day, yet nothing. The vile Shite they sing in the piggery is beyond words, yet TBB gets attention.If they had followed this shambles by at least making the shambles the same for everyone then I would toe the line. To state this is wrong, when it demonstrably is not, and even then its not policed evenly AT ALL, then why would I just bend over.One rule for all, and stop being silly, or not. Democracy and the rule of law is not something which you can selectively apply. But, for the good of the club I would sing those above that I've heardAnd especially for selected readers bjk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ger77 742 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 There's been a good few TBB threads but nothing appears to change. Any plans for using the results of this poll? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Robot 21,138 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 There's been a good few TBB threads but nothing appears to change. Any plans for using the results of this poll?possibly email the women at focus then possibly finance some business cards for distribution or maybe ask the UB to take the lead. Im not sure if anyone could post the same poll on the other forums to see what the general consensus is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
