govanblue 16,847 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hi all,though it's flattering that some of you think I could make a useful contribution on this topic, I'd like to respectfully withdraw myself from the running.I don't think it's really my area of strength, particularly as I'm quite conflicted and don't really know where I stand on the issue myself.I see that there are tons of excellent candidates being put forward, and I hope that the most popular choices are happy to take up the mantle.If, however, ViniH is struggling to get enough people together, then I'll happily reconsider, if the alternative is that the idea stalls.I'm also quite happy to offer up my opinions (when am I not???) on anything I'm asked about.Good luck Vini, I'm right behind you.Also - I'm very busy at the moment trying to figure out ways of getting all your money off you this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
govanblue 16,847 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Oh, and I have said several times already on various other threads that I think the most important thing is to get the official ruling, and a clear explanation of the reasoning behind it from UEFA, as I strongly suspect that we could rip that to shreds.There you go - that's my contribution Edit: Sorry Vini - I've just realised that I've just broken the 1st rule of committee club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HG5 11,134 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 'Let it die' was my opinion and my opinion alone. The fact that it was me saying it gives that away.You said 'just let it die' - that was an instruction, not an opinion.Had you said 'I think we should let it die', that would have been an opinion.

five stars 1,623 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I nominate ViniDont agree with you Vini that we should get it officially approved by the club. I think the only version the club would officially approve would be lame. Do other fans who sing their own version have it approved by their clubs? Has anybody ever been arrested or other club punished for singing their version? Change the one word to rebel, how can we get into trouble if its ok for other fans/clubs?

tannerall 25,935 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 This would appear to be a fan issue, rather than a club issue. We currently have many club issues to deal with, including possible future sanctions, talk of stripped titles, tax case not fullly clarified and concluded, potential issues with SPL clubs (especially Dundee United,), league reconstruction etc etc. Is this an issue which we should choose to involve our club in at this crucial time ?.The song is part of our history and identity, I find it impossible to even think of it without the traditional words.However, at a time where our profile is now more positive, could our enemies in the media put a negative spin on it to the club's detriment ?My own personal thoughts are It would be nice to be able to sing our traditional songs the way we used to, but I am just a little concerned as to whether it would be beneficial to our club at this time.

JCDBigBear 10,830 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I've said that in nearly every post I've made You'd be a good guy to have onside wae thisApologies if you had suggested that earlier, I hadn't read through the entire thread on this, I just scanned through it quickly.In the past, the Club haven't been keen on taking this "alternative" TBB any further because too many resort to the original words. In my opinion, if we point out that the best way to cut out TBB in the banned version is for a concerted attempt to promote an approved version. That way RFC is seen to be acting pro-actively by the various authorities. An approach by the fans to the police and SFA to check out exactly what is considered offensive is also required. Again we would be seen to be acting pro-actively. Part of the UEFA and SFA sanction threat was if the club and fans weren't making an effort to stop unacceptable behaviour.
