The songbook last night v St Johnstone (A)

[CR3 12,746]

seeing a bit of backlash from our own fans on Twitter about the songs included last night, probably with ‘super Rangers’ and others with add-ons right after singing ‘stick your friendly’ aimed at the board, as if the away support sung those songs out of spite to that friendly decision.

I get the anger directed at the ‘friendly’ as it is a farce and just a money maker but that’s for another thread.

Don’t want to open a can of worms, just these songs got us in bother with that FARE mob in Europe and could maybe see retrospective fines as they were audible. 

I’ll be on the fence in terms of the discussion but would say I do join in pretty much all our songs at games, interested in what people think here after seeing the split on Twitter.

Although, I’m guessing there will be more people who want to sing them loud and proud and a few others who might be a bit more lefty or progressive thinking ‘it’s 2022’ and certain songs shouldn’t be sung if they hurt us financially again.

Someone on Twitter said they were doing it so the 'board will listen'. Shouting about fenians isn't going to make the board pay the slightest bit of attention.

It was a GIRFUP to the board and long may it continue.

The phrase bite your nose off to spite your face seems kinda on-point if the support were wanting to sing them again to get the club fined to somehow make a U-turn on the friendly decision I guess.

Nothing happens in the league, as was shown years back when they swung blow up dolls with Rangers scarves from their top tier. 

Songbooks fine, I heard nothing offensive.

How does singing about fenians get it up the board?

[Prso's headband 35,913]

If fenian is changed to rebel is that allowed? 

[The Specky Forum Organiser 66,057]

Songbook was fantastic and was clearly a message to the board, expect it to continue.

[Junior Soprano 22,428]

I enjoyed it tbh. Best part of the game imho.

On the banks of the boyne in the morning.!!!

[CR3 12,746]

No shrimp on the BBQ

[Assegai 8,680]

The message to the board appears to be, "don't listen to us and we won't listen to you".

Don't need enemies when our own fans are moaning on twitter about what's being sung

Nothing wrong with anything last night

Exactly, they cunts have their IRAoke in the league every week it’s about time we brought our songbook back instead of appeasing these cunts, might need to tweak it for Euro games though.

Fans already know not to sing certain songs in Europe

To the detriment of our club, anyone who condones a backward step to songs which give our enemies fuel is not looking after Rangers.

In what way? People who already hate us call us names?

Agree with this.

[McEwan's Lager 30,872]

Last night was an own goal for the support v the board in my view.

Club hierarchy want the support to be sanitised. They will be thinking they made the right decision in relation to Australia last night if that's the type of opposition against it.

I also really don't want to go to Rangers games and listen to songs about them. There was a good 10 minutes in the first half last night where several consecutive songs were about Celtic.

The board might pay attention when the potential uplift from oz is offset against any fines imposed for the songbook…

Aye, need to bring them back domestically though 

[Don81 2,846]

My main issue with it is when it starts creeping in in domestic games it inevitably happens in a Euro game soon after and we get fucked for it. We have too many morons who can't differentiate.

[Sket 13,610]

The songbook was fantastic. Any wee fairies who found it upsetting can go fuck themselves.

[theweebluenose 4,335]

Tarriers recently had a banner calling us H*** last Old Firm, the full IRA songbook giving it "Go on Home British Soldiers" and "Fuck King Billy and John Knox" and cunts are greeting about a few disparaging songs about the Pope and celtic's Paedo scandal. No wonder the board thought the Australian friendly was fine, we have far too many subservient wet wipes in our support these days.
