Will any fan groups ever make a move to get the song back?

With a bit of funding and publicity regarding removing the add-ons deemed unacceptable, surely it can be done.

Whenever we have a thread like this we usually get bombarded by the handwringers telling us to leave it and move on, or they want some gay version with awful lyrics.

As long as they change the wording, it is allowed to be sung by almost every other team in Scotland so there is no excuse not to allow it, as long as our fans stick to not putting the reference to terrorist supporting scum, shameful that the term in question has been turned by catholic schools to mean all catholics, back in.

If this can be achieved then I am all for it

The group that defends our traditions should be doing something.

Who knows.........they very well might be doing that already?

Maybe they are discussing the merits as we speak.

Maybe Mr Green is already aware of the issue, but its not top of HIS agenda.

Not everything is done publicly.

That's a lot of questions for an answer!

i think instead of bringing it back with changed words we should actually go to the top to challenge that the word fenian isn't sectarian, just the usual offended taig brigade making out that it is derogatory to catholics. Fenian movement? fenian army? they are republican terrorist bastards i.e fenian bastards. we are indeed up to our knees. fuck fat salmond fuck the snp!!

i agree with you but it's not going to happen. it would be almost impossible to reverse a courts decision over a derogatory comment. And even the outspoken Charles Green would never get behind something like this, he knows it would be business suicide. The courts have made a fool of themelves but it won't stop there, it's going to get worse, laws on offending people or going to get tighter, not loosend.

The only way to move forward with TBB is to change the words, anyone who doesn't endorse a lyric change has already accepted the end for tbb.
