CoinFollower 2 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I'm of the view, more could be done to improve the singing at Ibrox; to inspire the team, and create a wall of noise to intimidate the opposition (and aid match officials get those difficult decisions right and in our favour).TBB was our signature tune to do this; and I remain mucho annoyed that Septic have managed to get this banned by UEFA.I'm especially annoyed that our lawyers have not succeeded in getting UEFA acceptance of a modest change in words to address any reasonable concerns they may have.Given the patent progress in the Northern Irish peace process, I have no real objections to refreshing and modernising TBB; to make it less offensive, and thereby protect our heritage and our right to freedom of speech and expression.With the imminent change in Club owner, I'd like to see this idea resurrected. To make TBB historically accurate, and thereby beyond criticism, I propose the following changes:1 - change 'Fenion blood' to 'the River Boyne'; thereby recording the valiant crossing of the Boyne by Williamite forces; whilst under heavy Jacobite fire.2 - change 'Brigton Derry Boys' to 'Starving Derry Boys'; in memory of the circa 8000 ulster-scots who perished during the 1689 siege.The foregoing could take take months, if not years, pending which I propose the fans need to settle on a temporary and alternative signature song. My proposals for this (comment and debate welcome), include:A - church hymns which are beyond reproach, yet because of their religious nature would have Septic rabid with rage, such as:- God Save the Queen.- Will your anchor hold in the storms of life.- Amazing Grace.- The Lord is my Shepherd.Alternatively, and picking up from the historical fact that within 30 years of the siege of Derry many Ulster-Scots had emigrated to the Americas and became central in the fight against aboriginal americians, the American declaration of independence, the confederate forces etc; we could adopt as a signature tune a country or western style song such as:- Ghostriders in the SkyAll in all - what's your thoughts? To distinguish genuine bears from Septic infiltrators; if you disagree, please specify why, and preferably provide your own constructive / alternative proposals.No offence was intended in the penning of this 'freedom of speech' article.

jack1690 793 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Sorry but Church Hymns have no place in a volatile football enviroment. They should be sung in Church only.No matter how how much you batter on with your religious stuff, I dont think you'll convert many on here.

CoinFollower 2 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 TheAlukoMan's idea's were brilliant. I'd love to hear these belted out at Ibrox to create the intimidating wall of noise we all want.Question, if we were to settle on these, how do we organise it moving forward? Ideally the Club would pump out the music pre-match; with a statement and the words pre published including the programme and fanzines.90 minutes plus 'wall of noise' only will do!!

CoinFollower 2 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 I find the accusations if being a Septic infiltrator bizarre.They are absolutely incorrect, however, as Timothy is always watching, I need to be careful in what proofs I give. I'm hoping this just site banter and not a serious attack on my good standing in the community!!Here's an attempt at proof though: I've seen Rangers lift all three domestic trophies; and by that I mean I've been at the game.I was also at the game where we lifted the cup winners cup, but I was not in Barcalona. Where was I and what wad the game? Many genuine Teddy Bears won't even know the answer, because if you weren't at the game, you wouldn't know.WATP Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopus 27 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Up to our knees in fenian blood. Only way ever.So long as you also forgo your right to complain when we are eventually docked points for singing it.Although,in my experience, those who have been shouting the loudest to have it reinstated, are also the first to complain when it leads to sanctions against the club.
