govanblue 16,847 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Actually, just one issue...The committee has recently been renamed The Anti-Sectarian Song Committee, reflecting the determination of those involved to steer the song away from its negative past connotations.Should it not be the Non-Sectarian Song Committee"Anti" could be perceived as an admission that the f word is sectarian, which most of us still refute.

Mark Walters 206 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Good article, I do agree that if an amended version of TBB can be adopted by all bears then its worthwhile exploring but I do fear how many would still just sing it in its original form.On top of that we have Police officers who are on the decidedly iffy side and I wouldn't put it past them lift someone and claim the original was sung when that simply wasn't the case.

Bigcid 22 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Im sorry but as far as im concerned rangers supporters should have never stopped singing the billy boys at all any song can be adapted at any time just look at simply the best by Tina Turner. The banning of this song was for the purpose of silencing the rangers support the authorities should be banning songs glorifying terrorism from the other lot.

DerekJohnstone 1,171 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Just replace the so called offending words with "political can't" and get it right up Salmond. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianBacon 2,088 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The Billy Boys tune is to a hymn ('Marching Through Georgia' an American battle cry...call it what you will) that has been sung for centuries.One word needs changed.They (the Filth) can call themselves that word, but others can't.Fine....then let's change it to "Up to our knees in Tarrier blood".The word "Tarrier" doesn't exist in any Dictionary I'm aware of.Let them try and get it included.Fuck them all. Fuck the PC bastards who pick on one club, one support and one support only. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smile 26,610 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 We seem to be getting a lot of these self promotion blogs, they have good content at times then most blogers seem to get carried away and think everything they say is Golden.Why cant they just post on our forums if they have something to say on Rangers.

I'd guess they're trying to spread the word beyond RM, and raise their profile? Is that not the right thing to do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
