Copland bear 7,966 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I am far from the UB biggest fan but the way the board are hanging them out to dry is a disgrace and need to be pulled up,on this. If I was not going on Thursday I would give them my tickets so a couple of the lads could go. The board have our money now , We the fans have put Rangers where they are not Dave King and the board , who failed to back Warburton with serious cash then wasted about £10m on Pedro and his fucking duds he signed. Before any cunt goes on about Morelos, that was Johannsom that discovered him. As I said , thing are back to pre admin when the board shaft the supporters but want £60 for tops , £50 for a kids top, £400 odd quid season books , fuck knows how many friendliest wenjust played there at home , Europa league tickets and cup tickets , it works out a small fortune to the average guy and for the club to come out a do this is just wrong.

Thornliebanktrueblue 667 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 TBB Super Rangers for definite. The club cannnot sanction a song as acceptable as songs that mention UVF would also be banned. I suspect these would be difficult to defend.

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 We are not the first nor will we be the last to be punished with a partial closure. However unfair we feel this is there is nothing to be done but suck it up. Has to be seen as a wake up call. Now the SFA will believe that they can impose similar sanctions.

There’s far too much ambiguity. People are guessing, from TBB to Ryan Jack song. The Club, as usual, are acting like amateurs. This should now certainly happen, but you will still get fans not wanting them to do it 'because we all know what they are' well this has gone far beyond what many of us thought would happen for a few songs being sung, so we must be told. I very rarely sing these bad words but I am fucking annoyed we are being hung out to dry by an organisation that we know is corrupt and full of wankers who thing throwing things at players is not as bad as songs. The world has gone bloody mad. Copland bear and Blue Avenger 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said you’d need the UB to be the instigators and I think you could get people on board with it and drown out those singing the original. They’ve managed to get Ibrox singing new songs like Every Saturday We Follow surely they can help get everyone to change one word to keep 2 of our loudest songs. Get all these pishy Facebook fan groups to spread the word as well and in the modern age with how information travels it shouldn’t be too hard.

Don81 2,832 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Agreed , but for the foreseeable future they have to be binned on Euro nights. Maybe see if we can get everyone on board with new words domestically and then bring them back on Euro nights further down the line. We just cant risk it in Europe for the next few years.

MARK92GERS 804 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Disappointed at BF1 being closed pretty much means the atmosphere will be dead now especially at such a crucial fixture and UB shouldn’t be getting throwing under the bus every fan all has a part to play in this imo I appreciate everything the UB do and what they bring to club on match days the noise and displays are brilliant Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogzy 31,195 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 They had to close something. No matter where they chose, people would be angry. Directing your anger at the board is pointless though, as they are only complying with the punishment set out by UEFA.

Directing your anger at the board is pointless though, as they are only complying with the punishment set out by UEFA. Wrong. The board issued two seperate statements condemning the fans who chanted those illegal words in Gibraltar, allegedly both racist and sectarian. No due process, no evidence of such chants, no perpetrators identified and/or penalised or brought to justice. No prior prohibition of any chants or songs. It seems like we've been manhandled into assuming blame on a very touchy subject. If we object to these false charges, we'll be accused of vindicating bigotry, tarnish our reputation and give our haters license to demonise us forever.
