TBB Poll: Who thinks what?

[OneDavidCooper 2,505]

I just don't see the point of changing the words to a song.

It is what it is.

We either sing it as the original or not at all for me.

We could try that but I doubt it would catch on

Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the Jubilee.

Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that makes you free,

So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea,

While we were marching through Georgia.

How the darkeys shouted when they heard the joyful sound,

How the turkeys gobbled which our commissary found,

How the sweet potatoes even started from the ground,

While we were marching through Georgia.

[Bothwellbear 1,392]

I still think this should be pinned as it ha rumbled on for years now and maybe now is the time to get something resolved. Let democracy speak.

[Grant1872 6]

I would love the billy boys to be sung at ibrox again as its our best song ever. Since we will get into shit if we sing the original and the club fined then the rebel blood version seems the best option. The problem we have is getting everyone to sing the rebel blood version. Maybe give out fliers before the game lol

i'll sing it. Whos with me?

The original, cause I hate taigs.

[Chef 436]

Singing anything other than "...fenian blood" wouldn't work as many will sing the original...

So why do we hear the mumble mumble at present when it's,sung, I think fans are more aware and open to yhis change than some have us believe, it's not an all or nothing situation imo.

[Big V 271]

Singing anything other than "...fenian blood" wouldn't work as many will sing the original...

Hence the need for a campaign/flyering.

[legalbeagle 3,734]

I would be more than happy for us to bring the song book if it could be brought into a state that wouldn't incur the wrath of UEFA, the SFA or the Police (for the sake of the fans being arrested, and the club fines, etc).

But I can only vote no to the poll, because of some of the points previously made, I don't think we could ever get universal buy-in to alternative lyrics.

Actually, would love us to have something as powerful and anthemic as this not mention anyone other than us, but there is no doubting that the power and noise that this created (especially on the big European nights) is a huge loss to the atmosphere. I would love to be able to sing/chant without having any concerns about future repercussions on the club.

[Bothwellbear 1,392]

If the words are publicized through the big screens, fliers, song books etc then the words will catch on. If we can all get behind this then it WILL work. As the poll appears to be going, people want the song with changed lyrics. That surely shows that it will work.

The rebel shit one would be banned as well

up to our knees in fenian blood

up to our knees in rebel blood

It's the same thing... would be banned.

I said it before and will again and again... we HAVE to beat em at their own game.... same rousing song... and wording that CANNOT be used as n evidence against us.

Get it right up em... they'd HATE this song as before, LOUDEST in World footy ringing out at ALL grounds.... and not one bloody thing can they do about it.

Use the grey matter, out-think them.

[CASTLEMILK COVENANTER 3]

im with you on that one mate 100%,,,, REBEL favorite with me !!

[blackpool blue 13]

Some have changed thr tune over this in recent times, certainly in this thread.

Going from nicely nicely and understanding a situation to what now looks like a total turn around and want it sung pronto and fuck the consequences lol. I'm dubious at some motives of late and I think it's more about feet under the table rather than a real concern of a bear.

i cant smell any change of tune .just the odd word. w.a.T.P.

[philiprfc 1,799]

All about us. The way it fucking should be.

[HMS 15]

Rebel blood, they will know who we're talking about

[andymcg1986 259]

I love the song so much but as I don't attend games nowadays then I disqualify myself from the vote.

Get back to the games

[WVB 2,560]

So roughly 90% of people on a Rangers forum would like to see TBB brought back in some form.

Shall we do something about this, or just grumble on about it for eternity?

Is there a way to express our wishes to Mr Green in a sensible manner?

[coop troop 106]

Rebel blood may well eventually get banned, but its legal now and I don't think its easy to claim its against taigs in a court.

Then again, i did hear "were up to our knees in plastic P's (paddies), cos they won't go fucking home'. I don't think that would fly though.

Seriously, rebel blood is good for me, and how on earth would anyone prove anything was said if there was a "few" versions being sung of that small part at the same time...? I would love to see the evidence when 3 or 4 different versions of "fenian blood", "rebel blood", "taigish fuds", "paedo blood" are all.being sung... The phrase prove it comes to.mind

[coop troop 106]

Oh, and P.S. surely the 20 odd don't sing it again voters just gave admin a hit list ?

[Allanger 625]

Get back to the games

I would love to.Followed home and away for over forty years and a season book holder for twelve Still pay for my son and daughters season ticket and strips for the grandkids.

[Mr Soprano 13,964]

Fuck all wrong with the original, we need to make a stance tbh. They fuckers can sing what they like. Fenian does not mean Catholic.
