After the anger died down I’ve yet to see anyone on here claiming they will sing on regardless. I’m fairly confident it’ll be fine but it’s always a concern when it’ll only take a handful of people to decide that defiance is the way forward.

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 Bullshite.

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Pretty sure this board have never once sent out a warning to fans before a European game about singing or about FARE being in attendance. Unreal they knew about the first charge last Thursday and waited a full day to tell anycunt. Their communication is as always a complete joke.

bilko89 507 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 King has known about that first charge for a while hasn't he, then he hasn't told us about it, allowing us to think there's nothing wrong in the games afterwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next correspondence from the board will be season ticket sale time. Feeding our ego about being loyal and best fans about and how we are all together in the fight for the title.

The fact the SFA have taken the stance they have at the time is very telling And means they can’t now be charging Rangers fans domestically for using the accurate term Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UEFA will in all likelihood ignore our gesture if no tickets for next away game and instead close Ibrox. That is what their escalation policy suggests. They have shown no tolerance in past. That means any transgression gets us kicked out or banned next year. We were banned in 1973 and some of us remember that. If we get banned or kicked out again our brand will be toxic. SG will leave. Players will not come. We will effectively have killed ourselves. I have supported Rangers for more than 50 years and this is a watershed moment like no other. We stood together when we were demoted. We must not kill ourselves where others have failed Our finest hours lie ahead but we must modify the songbook to not include any songs that can be construed as sectarian. Our finest hours..... or self destruction. What do we want. What do they want. Its in our own hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeIsBlue 66,595 Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 See if we go through tonight we'll still get kicked out.

They Gnu 11,553 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Imagine the head of FARE said he had no problem with our songs, imagine he was married to a self confessed Rangers fan who works on TV news, , who hates celtic to the extent she’d make up fairytales to hurt them. The furore would be enormous with questions asked in Holyrood and Westminster. We just suck it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the problem right there. Summed up beautifully ignorance and a propensity to always reference others. Every single one of us know what not to sing yet we still kid ourselves on.
