LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 They make me cringe like fuck, especially that absolute fucking roaster with the megaphone. The Murty banner was a class gesture though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenose-11 196 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Class banner yesterday. Thats where the praise stops for me, find them annoying, 75% of the songs are these pishy new ones, the ultra thing is very cringey. Also surely can't be the only one that hates this "owayowayowayowayowayowaaa ohhhh Glasgow rangers" pish, the tarriers have sung that about themselves for years, sort yourselfs oot ffs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's completely untrue and I'd love to hear of the Rangers songs we don't sing that the full of Ibrox would join in with. In my honest opinion it's nothing more than a cliche post now on these threads to say that BF1 doesn't sing "traditional" Rangers songs and doesn't sing loyalist songs - if it was as simple as only singing loyalist songs to get an atmosphere in Ibrox we would sing them for the full 90 minutes every week. Our songbook is mixed because the truth is there is no specific songbook that will suddenly get the rest of Ibrox joining in, its just pretending or out of touch with the reality to say that there is. Genuine request here. Please stop the awayawayawaowoawa and the Rangers easy OK nonsense. It's ambrassing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a personal preference, so again that's why the songbook is mixed cause there is no one specific type that would create an atmosphere outside BF1 on an average matchday.

ElBufalo20 7,894 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I know traditional Rangers songs are sung and I like new chants too but if they're never sung by anyone else then it's time to give it a rest. Too many generic football chants now. When Motherwell come with their 'ultras' you both sing exactly the same songs at the cup game it was just taking turns singing the same ole songs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no "traditional" rangers songs we don't sing and very, very few loyalist songs we don't sing (given the cameras and police attention is entirely focused on us).

My point is Rangers Easy OK is a old song and not a so called "ultra" song . Nobody sings any type of song at ibrox on a regular match day, apart from maybe twice a game, that's the point and the problem. Unfortunately there's no one type of song that would get Ibrox singing, it literally doesn't exist. If it was as easy as the forum posts make out BF1 would be more than happy to sing songs that the rest of Ibrox participate in, but unfortunately there are no specific songs that the full of Ibrox would join in with on a regular matchday, that's the reality we're faced with.

Ger77 742 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I really don't have a strong opinion on the UB's either way, however I find it embarrassing that we have a thread slagging off Rangers fans for singing songs ffs. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Ive criticised them on numerous occasions but there's no need for some of the stuff on here Some of their supporters exaggerate a bit by claiming Ibrox is a morgue without them. And some of the folk criticising the UBs are taking it too far. I have issues with them but they've made dozens and dozens of fantastic displays that I've loved and they are much more dignified than the pre-teen brigade from the east. The banner yesterday completely echoed my thoughts and that of nearly every bear,  they've had plenty of banners and messages I've disagreed with but they're usually good at understanding the opinion  of the majority of the fans Yes some of their songs are just gay as fuck,  but most youngsters are wee poofs these days so that's to be expected,  but those aren't the only songs they sing,  as long as they keep singing Derrys Walls etc ill be fine if they add a couple shite tunes to their list.
