OceanRain 2,845 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 If a drunk halfwit wants to sing something which he knows might end up with him in the cells then I'm not going to waste my time telling him to. Why would they listen to me when the potential of losing ST/being banned from Ibrox and ending up with a criminal record doesn't put them off?Spot on. If you want to sing then gie it laldy and don't come greetin' if you're collared for it and made an example of.I don't really give a fuck either way. dougie76 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude 20,026 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 'Cos they are "TRUE" supporters and you're NOT.You'd be amazed how many times I've heard that. All because its ALL about the Rangers for me. Nothing to do with my politics or religious beliefs. alockh and bluebellsareblue82 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT 30,449 Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Admin could do with locking and deleting this threadWhy it's a genuine question. Why do they not open their mouth at the games, on our buses, in our pubs? Why wait until they get home and have a rant on the internet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Azure 1,414 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Did you tell your members what to sing? Did you pull them up for shouting about fenians on your bus? Did you pull them up for singing in the pubs? I no the answer to that. So why do it on the internet?Yes I (and others) have tried to explain why these songs/chants have been proscribed, but logical discussion with those intent on continuing these proscribed songs/chants (and the known eventual effects) had very little impact on them.

SectionRedHMS 190 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Why it's a genuine question. Why do they not open their mouth at the games, on our buses, in our pubs? Why wait until they get home and have a rant on the internet?Inside a pub or on a bus,none of my business.At games ,I attend only now with my 7 year old,I'll certainly ask anyone to behave.I don't like explaining to my son why the man/woman was calling people Fenians,Taigs and Papes.I support Rangers for no other reason than I love the team my Dad took me to see and his father him.If that makes me less of a Rangers fan,I'll sleep we'll tonight.

bluenose48 950 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 The reason people don't complain at the game or the pub etc is because the likely outcome.Trying to talk sense to drunken eejits is only going to get you into a fight = trouble with either the law or the missus, not sure which is worse.Saw just this type of incident many years ago at tube station queue after we had been beaten by Aberdeen. Two drunks started singing then demanded to know why two young blokes standing behind them weren't singing. When told they didn't feel like it they started the old, Well you're not real fans then crap, when they were told to shutup and fuck off, fists started flying.Nuff said. thegummy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted December 19, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2012 Why do people on here continually feel the need to 'out-loyal' other bears? It's pathetic.Personally, I really couldn't give a fuck what people sing but if it hurts the club or could get them arrested then I'd rather they didn't.

harry handsome 629 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Fuck me Goat take some Calm the fuck down pills.It's all about opinions, you want to sing the songs because you think it's your right.Others think it's harmful to the club, we have proof it is.So because someone disagrees with your right to sing songs they are wrong and you are right, I'm taking it your comments are along the lines of....I will sing dig me up and I will knock you out?The mind boggles.

Potdog 228 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I don't mind chanting at all but if your drinking and your not affecting anyone else then fine but theres some fans that drink just to cause trouble < Small minority be that. So all in all there isn't much of a problem. Also if there hiding on the internet then why do they care about chanting/drunks? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
