Popular Post Negri's lovechild 13,593 Posted August 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2019 No matter what people think of the Union Bears (and I like what they do), they have been hung out to dry here. The accusation is that of racist singing and who better to point the finger at than the 'ultra's' (for want of a better word). It's a case of easiest and largest organised group to place the blame at the feet of. Really poor behaviour from the club and it serves to place another divide in the support as we can see by this thread. We are all Rangers supporters and we all stand and fall together. I'm not a UB but I would gladly stand beside them and support them in this matter. What's next? ANY song that references history or heritage, even if the so called offensive words are edited out? (Which is ridiculous anyway, because when did words harm anyone?) We already have the jungle drums out complaining about the colour of a football strip we wear. Well said Union Bears.

Weird_Beard 99 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Seems like the only fair way to deal with this is to just close the whole stadium 😬 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,287 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Look, I've been going to Ibrox since the 70's, and although I don't always agree with millennials, I also understand they are the future. In my day the Union Bears didn't exist but I'm all for them. Things change and I think they create a great atmosphere even if only half of them actually watch the game! krissg910, Billythebear77 and bazman 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were plenty of fans around the ground gleefully joining in the singing. No-one else has been banned from the next game. BF1 should have been relocated same as everyone else was. Only fair. edit. ‘Attacks’ doesn’t have an apostrophe btw They have been made scapegoats. Say what we want about the filth, they rally round their own, even the worst.

The UB have been hung out to dry with this and I feel for them But they can’t possibly pinpoint every individual who was singing so instead they ban the source? I personally think the position the club is in that is reasonable? If I had my way the club would stick up for us and nobody would be banned but as I say, if you claim to be the voice of the support if that voice gets called into question you can’t shy the responsibility Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know who is in charge of stuff like this at the club but again and again they show such a lack of professionalism it’s astonishing actually. I could do a better job myself.

They shouldn’t be treated differently at all. Every single person in the stadium that night needs to take responsibility for it. We have all sang it and if anyone says otherwise there a blatant liar. Finger pointing needs to stop now. Well that should end this thread. Spot on mate. 👍👍 bazman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
