We’re getting absolutely shafted here I heard TBB being sung and I commented about it at the time that I hoped it wasn't going to get us into bother. I was watching it on RTV.

Super Rangers is out because of "we hate c****c Fenian Bstrds". Simply the Best with "Fk the pope and the IRA". Even Follow Follow because people started to return to "Fk the pope and the vatican" instead of "Aberdeen and back again". The Famine Song as well. There are others which have sod all to do with Rangers and I don't know what they are called as they are new to (ancient) me. It isn't rocket science taking an educated guess if any of our fans are in doubt then don't sing it. As with a lot of laws, ignorance of the law is no excuse. The club should have this info posted up on notice boards around the stadium and what penalties the club or fan will receive for singing them. The problem is Transparency. No one on the board as ever issued fans with transparent info on what they deem to be unacceptable behaviour, words or songs. How can a behaviour change if no one says what is acceptable and what is not acceptable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would depend on the specific changes, but it looks like the song itself can be deemed offensive in certain circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenders 272 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Pretty sure if the board came out and said stop singing songs with the word Fenian or being derogatory toward any kind of religious belief. They would still be getting slated for "trying to change the culture" or whatever other wording people want to use. They can't win in this situation. They're not going to come out with a statement saying "Fuck UEFA Fuck the Pope" and get chucked out of Europe as much as some want them to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know this, from Vanguard Bears ... https://celtsarehere.com/sfa-defended-ajax-over-derogatory-celtic-banner-uefa-document-confirms/ SFA Defended Ajax Over Derogatory celtic Banner – UEFA Document Confirms By Michael Ross - August 28, 2019 A Uefa document has surfaced online from back in 2013 when Ajax fans were charged for holding an offensive banner up during a game against celtic. The banner in question had the words ‘Fenian B**tards’ displayed. This put Ajax under the spotlight at the time and they were forced to close a section of their stadium as a result. What we didn’t read, however, was the SFA defending Ajax during the disciplinary hearing back in 2013. Ajax wrote to the Scottish football association about the term ‘Fenian’ and how they dealt with such matters in their domestic game. Here is the full response which has been printed for public viewing on a Uefa Disciplinary document: ‘AFC Ajax contested the disciplinary inspector‟s argument that the word “Fenian” had discriminatory connotations. It pointed out that the celtic FC supporters called themselves “Fenian” and took pride in the use of this word. Therefore, for celtic FC supporters, the term ‘“Fenian” could be neither racist nor offensive and the expression used at the match concerned, i.e. “Fenian Bastards”, was not racist. ‘- The respondent also stressed that its supporters had used the disputed word “Fenian” because the celtic FC supporters themselves had used it. Therefore, it had never crossed the opposing supporters‟ minds that it could ever be considered discriminatory. ‘- Contacted by AFC Ajax about the term “Fenian Bastards”, the Scottish Football Association’s disciplinary services manager had commented that half the celtic supporters used the word “Fenian” as a badge of honour while the other half might consider it unpleasant. The Scottish FA did not consider the word “Fenian” racist. It neither warned nor punished celtic FC or Rangers FC for calling each other “Orange Bastards” and “Fenian Bastards” respectively, since it considered such provocative words part of the game.’ This was submitted by Ajax as their defence at the time. Pretty startling stuff from our governing body. The flippant use of the term Fenian and telling Ajax as a matter of fact how many celtic supporters call themselves this or use it as a badge of honour is also astonishing. This is no laughing matter and deserves to be scrutinised. The fact the SFA have taken the stance they have at the time is very telling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did the board inform the fans that we had a charge against us? Pretty sure the minute they did, the majority said it had to be cut out! Had that happened prior to Warsaw, we wouldn't be sitting on a second charge! And you're right the fans did sing it & are responsible, doesn't change the fact that the board, whose job it is to protect the best interests of the club, could have prevented the second charge!

Why did the Board not tell us about the St Joes charge straight away?? How can you blame anybody for singing a song when they didn’t fucking know they couldn’t sing it, and don’t tell us we knew TBB got sung last season and not a word from UEFA. I’ve already said that their communication on the issue has been woeful at best. My point was there is absolute no excuse from tonight onwards. Anybody that decides to sing TBB, Super Rangers or anything with FTP in it cannot claim to have Rangers best interests at heart and would be best staying at home. It’s shite, but it’s reality.
