RANGERRAB 3,737 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 It hasn't....as they can't ban a song. The "sectarian nature" of it's words was fined and and any repeat would be a fine. It's not banned as a song....UEFA can't ban a song. And what is the 'sectarian nature' exactly? F@nian is neither a religion or a race. Its meaning has been hijacked by the mhedia as part of their ongoing anti-Rangers agenda 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 It hasn't....as they can't ban a song. The "sectarian nature" of it's words was fined and and any repeat would be a fine. It's not banned as a song....UEFA can't ban a song. That's semantics and you know it. The same words that saw us previously fined would be used again, resulting in another censure of greater consequence. Doesn't matter if the song itself isn't banned, the words contained within the song are - and as a support we couldn't completely unite to eradicate the "offending" words.... As you yourself said in the other thread you would "sing what I fucking like" which is exactly why there was a capitulation on the singing of the song itself... Path of least resistance. If we really wanted a return of our anthem then we need to merely remove the controversial words.... But we know that won't happen as people believe in their "traditions".... With little regard for the world having gone PC crazy 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we have idiots at Holyrood that passed this nonsense into legislation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,737 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 True. But we have idiots at Holyrood that passed this nonsense into legislation. Then it needs to be challenged in court. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,652 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Enough of this nonsense. UEFA censured us because of this song and would do so again. It is for all intents and purposes proscribed by them and Police Scotland. Anyone who thinks differently is free to sing it in front of any police officer. Amongst thousands you'll be fine, on your own, you will be arrested. But it's so much easier to say otherwise online.

Bearman 9 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Although the anthem 'Hullo Hullo' was rousing and inspiring for the team, we have a book load of songs that work the same way. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True to an extent but TBB was unique and that's why it's so hard to let it go. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To begin with UEFA had no interest in censuring Rangers regards this song at the Villareal game. It's what(or rather who) made them change their mind we should be concerned about. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,652 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Of course they were pressured into it but that same pressure exists now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is though, it won't inspire the team now the way it used to, not with all the stigma attached to it nowadays. (Might even have the opposite effect) We should put it behind us until a different version of it can be adhered to which I doubt will ever happen.
