ShoeShoeShoe! 5 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iang2911 423 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trublusince1982 768 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 we dont need permission from anyone to sing our songs. Just make sure you only sing about us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
8watp8 254 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 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!!

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.

AlBear. 8,499 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Perhaps instead of just making a thread every month we should get off our collective arses and make an effort to bring back The Billy Boys. Just an idea.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
