baltic_blue 108 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 They do a job but my only criticism is the pish foreign sounding songs that get sung in almost every stadium throughout Europe. I blame it on the fifa game generation but then again I am probably just becoming an old bastard lol. We have plenty of songs and unique songs that were regularly sung during the 80s and 90s that are sadly going to be lost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody ever will until we get safe standing in the CF and have everyone who wants to sing next to each other. BF1 has got to the worst location in the stadium, club are shafting them.

JamesRFC__ 172 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Do people just hear what they want to hear? They sing plenty of old songs throughout a game. The simple fact is without them Ibrox would be silent for 90% of the game and complete silence for the last 15 minutes after the subway loyals get moving. Old bastards who want to moan about anything and everything nowadays. "Ah the megaphone hurts my earsies" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC10 1,449 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Didn't see the incident but it's brutal they get stick on here. If it wasn't for them would there be any noise in the ground apart from folk moaning. Mostly young guys trying to create a bit of atmosphere having a laugh don't see the problem.

jintybear 8,535 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I like them (pyrotechnics aside). They try their best to get the crowd going. Some of their songs are questionable but at least they try! Keep it up Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negri's lovechild 13,593 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 We never used to need them starting a song. Used to be a nutter with a drum and that was about it. Could it be people are too scared to sing the traditional songs now? I can't be doing with the oway oway pish Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our support turns up once or twice a year at Ibrox. I've stood in that section before, its a bit hard to hear a small pocket of fans starting up a song elsewhere when you are singing and hundreds beside you are singing yer lungs out. Petty thing to complain about. 100% agreed, Ibrox is a morgue with a hell of lot of arses that just want to turn up and moan, if there not that there part of the new age breed that have appeared with the left wing view and SNP shite. Get the GPB back on the park at half time and fk the PC Brigade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean when someone else starts No Surrender, which inevitably peters out? The UB boys do a fucking excellent job. Some folk just don't like them because they don't spend the whole game singing loyalist songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. They absolutely prefer that if it makes them the centre of attention. If these songs get the younger generation going why don't they spread beyond their wee section? Why do punters in the areas surrounding constantly rip the piss out of the new Happy-clappy ole shite? Most fans don't know half these songs so it does nothing to generate any atmosphere anywhere other than the one wee section where they get to act out their Danny Dyer fetishes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already seen Klopp moan at the Liverpool fans for the atmosphere. Ripping out you that you've got a bit of an agenda against them now anyway so best not to continue this. You and the guys around you who "rip the piss" should focus on getting your section to sing a few songs mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did they wouldn't start up songs to drown out other 'organically' started stuff throughout games.  Aye but in fairness, there was never a good atmosphere at Ibrox and there was certainly no singing for the past 30-40 years before they came along.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gascoigne8 3,355 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 we need to get away from all this 'ultra' bullshit. because it works in italy/spain doesnt mean it works here. i really dont want some prick wae a megaphone shouting at people to 'sing' . our "fans" are getting more cringey by the week. if its no cunts wae megaphones making demands its other cunts stopping folk going into the megastore to suit their viewpoint or wee fannies in stone island looking for a chase.  if i want to sing i will Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they moan and complain that other fans are creating an atmosphere to you? Imagine turning up to a game and ripping the piss out a group singing a few songs. How much of a moody old bastard do you have to be to let that annoy you when there's a game of football on the pitch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
