Maybe you just don’t know any. There is a habit of a lot of fans to add FTP or something to traditional Rangers songs. As for when Humza Yousef attended a match, I’m sure I read that on here, though oddly enough can’t find any google links to it now.. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 307 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Ajax were threatened with a stand closure back in 2013-2014 for using the f word so there is a precedent. https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/celtic/in-full/ajax-fined-21-000-for-banner-at-celtic-match-1-3185707 Now we can sit and argue all day about the impartiality of FARE or whether we feel certain songs should or should not be found offensive. The fact of the matter is - it is now 2019 and these types of songs have no place in a football stadium. In fact I would go as far to say that these types of songs have no place in society anymore. No one should care about who won a battle hundreds of years ago. We have enough problems in the world in the present so why should we fixate so much on the past? Now is the time for change, if we don't we risk losing everything we have fought for since 2012. #everyoneanyone 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranger_syntax 4,322 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Apparently the next step will be complete stadium closure. People need to stop making excuses and cut this crap out. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m honest the only idiots I usually see are ones you don’t see most weeks. No offence to anyone with that remark btw.

Unicorn 206 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) The bottom line is the people who sing these songs don’t care what anyone thinks - let alone anyone on a message board. They will sing what they want regardless. It’s difficult to know how to combat it. Edited August 24, 2019 by Unicorn 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
917 191 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 To be honest Ibrox is possibly the only ground in European football where spontaneous singing still actually happens. All singing will have to be banned now. You don’t hear singing at grounds like Old Trafford, Arsenal & Chelsea but these teams still do OK. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Banning all songs and goal celebrations will appease the yahoos. Let's go. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The includes pitch invasions and assaulting players on the pitch. But here's the thing ... anyone who either expects equal treatment or is surprised by the lack of it is operating in dreamland. All the protests and heel dragging in the world isn't going to change the world we have to live in. That's going to take something far smarter and innovative than I've heard today. Absolutely Bill, Ive followed much of this discussion on Twitter & Im concerned at some of the views being expressed, as I believe if some of the strategies of sing it "loud & proud" were to come to fruition that would spell disaster for the club. You dont have to be defence counsel to drive a wedge of reasonable doubt into this debate, in fact some of the evidence has already been presented in this thread. I saw the word "Appeasment" being used on twitter - its not appeasement to box clever in a ring where an unjust narrative, devoid of balance & fairness has already been sown & furthermore, imposed by an Football organisation who are nothing short of dictorial in manner and corrupt in nature. Its not about appeasement - its about survival. Edited August 24, 2019 by D'Artagnan 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
