To answer your post I always enjoyed TBB as much as anyone, I always just enjoyed the 'Altogether now...' part of Derrys Walls slightly more.

Not trolling, not being contrary for the sake of it - I'm being honest for once.

fair enough.

while both songs evoke passion, each one has its own distinct spirit.

TBB, i think , emotes more aggression, primarliy directed towards the opposition - a coordinated defiant attack anthem.

and Derry's Walls, particularly the part you mention - 'Altogether now...' produces goosebumps in me everytime - even as i write about it.

i think it's a song more for ourselves than the opposition.

i have a tendency to want to point aggressively at the scum while singing TBB, whereas i'm more inclined to be arm in arm with Bears when singing Derry's Walls.

not talking about the lyrics but rather the spirit of the lyrics.

Majority favour rebel and its probably the easiest way to change the song.Now anyone post on here from either TBO or UBs as we need them to get the song going

Also, a banner could be put up by BF1 just before they sing it - eg with just the words "rebel blood"

That would easily get the message across to everyone.

Does Hearts (SFL3 feeder club) (SFL3 feeder club) only change with a capital H?

Hearts (SFL3 feeder club) (SFL3 feeder club)

Edit: It changes it regardless, I just tried it.

This kind of thing is childishly pathetic.

If someone printed out business cards with the changed lyrics to rebel blood, do any of the legal minds on here believe handing them out on match day would constitute a breach of the peace or breach any other law?

I thinking handing them out and also having a team of fans film any police actions which may constitute harassment in a court would be the way forward.

We need to think smart here.
