RFC55 110,264 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Right lets face it Fenian was never going to be allowed by the club. It now seems the song will never be back at Ibrox as its offensive and banned in any shape or form. We have also been told we will be arrested for singning this. Now how does that go if we change the words? Surely Hearts, Kilmarnock, Dundee, Dundee utd, Man utd and any other team who come here and sing the song should be locked up? How can one set of fans sing it yet we cant? Why wont the club who promoted the song on tapes such as The battle of Britain and old club cd's etc back it in a form minus the word fenian?

The problem though is that there will always be guys pissed out of their head who when its sung, will sing the old words.If we stop singing it though then as suggested by this group, we then ask for parity from the other clubs.

mithrandir713 8 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I think that's a fair point, the club should be seriously looking at this and perhaps play an agreed 'acceptable' version before matches. Get it drummed into us, so we know the score! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fenian debate is over. Everyone on this forum knows my views, i would rather keep the chant than lose it altogether. I just dont get how our club can ban it/UEFA and every other club can sing their version. Hearts sing Fenian blood and Aberdeen even came down once and sang it. When it got to the end of the song they sang we are singing your song Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNuts 552 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 it is nothing to do with the lyrics, dont be fooled.the only reason it was called to be banned was because it was the single best chant in football history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogbg 20 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Provo blood.I'm not sure if the folks at UEFA, etc. even listen to the words though. Do they get some expert in to listen to recordings, or do they just say "yep, that's the banned song"? I wouldn't be too confident that changing one word would protect the club.

sdunsmb 43 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 if the rest of use know the new words it will be more than possible to drown them out!Trouble is, a large majority of the fans would just resort back to singing fenian a lot of the time.I know for a fact that if I was up with my Dad and we'd been boozing and Rangers had just scored I'd pretty much definitely be singing fenian.

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 We used to go 'ssshhhhh' at the offending parts of our songs.I don't see why we couldn't do that with TBB.Although a few good points raised in the thread with regards to UEFA and whether they would just identify the song and assume we have sang the offensive words.It would be down to Rangers to fight our corner .Another good point is the drunken fans who would possibly blurt out the offending version,we've all seen the Rangers Euro Ned.
