slimjim1690 4,534 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 The only reason I've started a new thread is I believe my thoughts would get lost in the Statement thread so please bear with me, after watching the Hibs game on TV and listening to the rendition of TBB it's obvious to all that it's not going away, but it's also obvious that two of the old words cannot be used, so once again we come back to what will be accepted to protect the club and also misguided supporters from prosecution.Here is my attempt and my reasoning behind it.It seems to me that to many are trying to find something that would rhyme with knees, why? "Fenian blood" doesn't rhyme with knees, does it?, and I believe many like me think that "big trophies" or "EBT's" are just stupid and will never be accepted by the masses.So what can we change that line to that would appeal to us all, hardliners and the less volatile alike,I think we should use what one of our posters suggested many threads ago, change "Fenian blood" to "REBEL SCUM", it works on so many ways, there is no mention of blood (although it could be insinuated) but can you be convicted of insinuation? And no mention of "Fenian" but "rebel scum" is specifically pointed to the Celtic support, something the great unwashed would rage at, and that is the whole point isn't it, something to get to them and also lets the whole world know who we're referring to and know what decent people think of them as.TBB's anthem is not going away, I believe this is an alternative that works for us all, and more importantly cannot be challenged by the authorities, they may not like it but I do not see how they could ban it, we just all need to get onside with this version.Please discuss reasonably.

SasaPapacLoyal 348 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I would wait and see what punishment ,if any, is handed out for our latest sash bash. My guess would be fuck all due to the SFAs current laws. Unless they change the rules and the club continues to do everything they can to stop it then the club can't be punished for us singing Fenian blood.However could possibly be a problem in Europe Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjim1690 4,534 Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 A thread discussing changing the words to TBB? What a refreshing change of pace.Far enough mate, was expecting this but I do understand, even I sometimes get fed up with it, but after last week with the goosebumps and the Statement thread I just wanted to give a more reasoned reason to change the words and keep it in the spotlight, it just has to be sung as I'm sure you will agree.

tannerall 25,935 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hi "slimjim1690"We used to have a poster called Big V, who started a thread like this.Then one day he just disappeared, never to be heard from again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SasaPapacLoyal 348 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Only problem with this is that the club have deemed it unacceptable.Club has to deem it unacceptable or would be open to punishment. Under current Sfa rules clubs can't be punished for the behaviour of fans if they are being seen to to try and stop it. So obviously the club has make that statement Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
