TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 The lead up to the most important year in British history? Why is that exactly?As for the song, no thanks. The people who want to sing it should sing it of their own accord - it shouldn't be forced down the throats of those who don't like it for whatever reason.

chucky ourlaw 2 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 As the " Quintessantial British club" we don't even pay our taxes to take care of Her Majesty, so I think it would be a bit much to now start singing songs, asking God to save her. Just my humble opinion. Cheers.B7 B7 B7 Quick Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgoalie 637 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Good idea Dunny,then i would play Follow Follow by Alexander Murray Smith and the Back 'O' town syncopators.Julescotia played this as his backing for his highlights piece for the Stranraer game.What a find,in the old 'ragtime' rendition,would certainly put the crowd in an upbeat mood......

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Yeah BP i defo take your point and maybe i should push the "political" part a wee bit more but ill leave that to more elequent posters as im a scrapper whilst voicing my views!Rangers Football Club and Scotlands British identity is severely under threat, and in my eyes outside football!, were goin to stand back and let Salmond n crew push there agendas day in day out.The suggestion i put was to Let us show the world, whilst creating a spectacle similar to last nights summerslam WWE where the national anthem is played. Im sure Amy McDonald, Mongolian band etc would love to do that at a Rangers full house.you know my point mate im just no good in getting it over, ill phone in Rangers chat and make my point clear.... and ill brush up on my politics and start a campaign too haha I agree with your desire to have a rousing 'anthem' of some sort at the start.I disagree with your point about it being GSTQ and tieing the club into the politics of the independance vote (as I am all for independance)Basically we agree on the need for more noise at the start we disagree on our politics Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

clan macrae 292 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 All for the National Anthem.Sorry, but 'Simply the Best' is a fucking awful song......80's big-hair sounding piece of shite.Replace it!The mans a FOOL.

Sasa_Papac_No1_Fan 605 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 No, because the Scotland politics lover will boo it, most of the fans won't sing it and also we are a Scottish club so there is no need for it to be played at the start of the game.

Falcoholic 1,348 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Scotland already uses 'Flower of Scotland', which I think is a good, uplifting anthem.And contains more bigotry and hatred than TBB. But that's different because it's anti English and not anti kafflick and that's why it's allowed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlCapone 7,678 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I would call on Craig Mather and Everyone at Rangers, to install a new tradition, and play the National anthem before every home game before the game starts.With the commonwealth games coming up and the National vote on Independance.....I would like to see, Glasgow Rangers '' The Quintessential British Club'' performing a new ritual at every home game, similar to the way The Americans do before every NFL / Baseball game, having the Rangers players and /not the away team;.... standing for our anthem and sing loud and proud.Surely there are no rules against stopping us starting this now.. Its our identity and we should jump on this now, on the lead up to the most important year in British history. The Rangers fans would love it, and certainly would have Ibrox packed for kick off. AND IF there is ANY Fifa ruling on this, then get Broxi Bear in the centre circle and get it loud and proud over the tannoy. I would and my wee boy would love to see the Mongolian brass band for example, playing this before kick off.....what a spectacle it would be.I would love to hear the boys on here's opinion on this....Need to get this started soon in case McColl gets in Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bothwellbear 1,392 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I wouldnt say it is very appropriate. We need something that everyone can get behind, and there are some in our support that would not want that. Rangers supporters come from a broad church and everyone should be respected. The last thing we need right now is a further division in the support. Lets just keep to trying to encourage people to sing Rangers songs.

8watp8 254 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Would never happen and would be cringey as fuck, after the first few times the novelty will wear off and can you imagine in years time getting a shit team in scottish cup with barely 20,000 in ibrox then blasting out a national anthem wanting everyone to sing. Leave it to the actual NATIONS, we are a football club. Not to mention that there are thousands of Bears who want independence and also that the Queen has nothing to do with whether we are independent or part of the union, she would be our head of state regardless.

Doughnut001 7 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'd say yes. Right up until some idiot tries to make it all about Northern Ireland because they don't actually care about football in the slightest.At that poiint the anthem and those who despoil it should be banned.

Nameless Ghoul 6,133 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Not all fans agree with God save the queen being our national anthem and for that reason i would say its unfair for the club to play it as i can imagine how pissed id be if the club done something i hated.
