A few seasons ago we were told that singing of billy boys in all its forms was banned. 

Then we are other clubs singing it. So clearly the song is not banned. So we allow it to sneak back in. 

The club needs to come out and say very specifically that fenian is the banned word and that we should continue singing billy boys without that word. 

But the club should also seek parity and fight for our fans to clarify that fenian in the context we are using it is no more offensive than H** and orange and we will continue to try and eliminate the word but we don’t want to lose our songs. 

It’s clearly not the sole use of the word fenian

To be quite honest, we fucking knew they were there, we knew they were gunning for us and we handed them the ammunition.

If it's true & you want to blame anyone, look in the fucking mirror.

I've really don't get why the club doesn't talk to the UBs, who lead the singing and ask them to amend the song book for European nights

I know i'll likely take abuse for this and yeah, yeah "what about them ..." etc, well i don't give a fuck about them, i only care about us & when we hand our enemies the ammunition to fire at us then its our own fucking fault.

They'll just move the goalposts. We're clearly being targeted.

Indeed, watch the usual suspects cream themselves each time they get to reference it.

Maybe 3000 of us can console ourselves with some inane, theological debate outside the ground on Thursday night.

Exactly that's why it's so frustrating because it's an own goal!

Aye sounds like a plan, a debating demonstration, the topic "Are fenians a race" canny wait to see that covered in the media 😂 tbh i actually would enjoy that though

We can sing plenty of PUL songs but we know where we’re getting hammered and we need to get a grip especially with shit like stadium sections being closed 

It’s not the words these bastards are so offended by it’s what they and we represent. Make no mistake we back down to them over this and they’ll go further, they won’t stop until and PUL is banned and we are silenced.

I agree with you on that but unfortunately UEFA/FARE deem it as sectarian which they also deem as racism. Until that is changed (clubs responsibility) we’re pissing into the wind 

Mate will affected supporters be refunded, I’m £110  down for this match? 

Not getting to attend the match is bad enough but to lose that money on top of it will seriously piss me off.

To a soundtrack of quaint tunes about fenians from inside the ground, it being impossible to take the 3000 tickets from the willfully stupid alone.

Aye we all get that but to the outsider who just sees the headline "Rangers to close stand due to racist chanting" probably isn't going ot know the distinction between fenian being a race or political set of beliefs. The damage is done by simply calling us that

If we as a Club defended the fans as the tarriers do then they would explain why the word fenian is not racist, and keep doing it so that it cannot be taken up wrong, but they sit back and take everything up the arse. Just remember what happened after the final against hivs.

Racist 😂😂😂 just ask whatever cunt of an organisation to show us the race of people that are fenian. 

That scum from across the town singing whatever they like get a slap on the wrist multiple times a season throwing bottles and god knows what else at players and nothing said. 

But all you get in this thread this is the usual cunts on here giving it the I told you so bollocks. Shower of wankers the lot of you, happy to have the boot on your throat.

It’s that attitude that’s got the situation to where it is today. The fenians want to ban our Protestant and unionist history and culture. They want to be allowed to sing songs that glorify terrorism, have their history and culture protected while banning and erasing ours.

Fuck UEFA, FARE, SFA, SNP and all the rest. Some things are worth taking a punishment for and these bastards trying to destroy our identity, history and culture is certainly one of them!

Ffs, it's exactly your attitude that puts the club in the situation we now find ourselves.  It is blatantly obvious which songs, words more specifically, cause the issue. Just don't sing them in the ground. There are plenty places around the ground where you can celebrate the culture and history that is so important to some of our fans but inside the ground penalises the club and the fans. A question to all those claiming conspiracy and collusion, will this now stop or do we see 6,000 loyal fans locked out next time. Blaiming the club is just ridiculous, the board have warned loads of times but put uber loyal fans have ignored the warnings and now look to blame anyone, everyone! Just don't sign the subject songs in the ground!

Fenian isn’t a race, so calm yourself down.

Go tell UEFA because they've listened to that argument  shrugged their shoulders and banned 3000 fans from the stadium.

The debate here will turn to whether or why the word is offensive or sectarian or racist but that is 100% not the point. That's a debate for another thread.

The fucken point here is that its 100% demonstrably a fact that it does not, in any fucken way, in a month of Sundays make a fucken bit of difference what our support do or don't do.

All this pish about not giving them ammunition is exactly that, pish!

They don't need us to give them ammo they just make it up or take behavior that you find in pretty much every other football ground the length and breadth of Britain and try to creative the perception that it is exclusive to our fan base or at the very least far more prevalent within our support.

I know they hate us but there’s some battles like this were we will loose every time where there are others they’ll never win. We need to get smarter around the with fenian and the add ons. I’m all for changing it to peados but the UB need to drive the change otherwise we are fkd

It doesn't matter, it's their club & their rules .. play by them or don't.

Actions have consequences, this is what they look like.
