All the posts about sectarian singing are really interesting. I remember as a 16-year old (in the mid 1960s) following Rangers and getting on the coach from my home city of Dundee to Rangers games (my father was on Rangers books around WWI time before you ask!). The older fans were all singing sectarian bile. I joined in but looking back, didn't have a clue what I was talking about. I have followed Rangers ever since and will always do but I too realise the folly of continuing to sing these songs. I'm pro-British as well as Scottish and I can't stand the pro-Irish/pro-IRA claptrap sung by Celtic followers but I do think the press in the UK (not just Scotland) are anti-Rangers and pro-left wing. God save us from the political left. It seems Celtic can do no wrong as far as the media is concerned. Clearly, the people who write about them have never been close to an Old Firm clash! However, we must grow up and clean up our act and sing the Blue Sea of Ibrox or the Penny Arcade and Follow Follow, without the religious venom.

Worry about what our club an fans are doing not there's an totally disagree with u about anti-Rangers utter bull

Gammet101. Your right to disagree obviously, but I think I'm right. So not utter bull, just 'I don't agree', especially in the context of the conversation. And my mistake, I meant to refer to my grandfather, not father on Rangers books!

Your right doiger but take the follow follow a brilliant song when song properly, but clowns that sing the billy boys will always add the unsavoury bits to it, I think rangers as a club have tried to stop the sectarian singing but since administration and liquidation the songs seemed to have made a unwelcome comeback, take the semi final I gringed when I heard the billy boys being belted out,

Gannet would you say Stan collymore is anti rangers?


5.) 21 Feb 2015
Celtic and rangers fans both need to stop thinking there is an agenda against then both clubs are treated the same and if the fans behaved there would be no need for bad publicity. All because of religions and stuff that happened hundreds of years ago. Oh life would be simple if I had just not loved football.

Stan collymore is a no mark wife beater

{Ed001's Note - what does that have to do with it? You can't ignore a good point because you don't like who says it. All that matters is whether he was right, not what kind of scum he is. And make no mistake, he is a vile piece of turd, but that is irrelevant to whether or not he has a point.}

Stan collymore is anti rangers and anti British his comments prove that, it wasn't that long ago he was telling northern ireland protestants to fxxk off back to britain and disregarding the sacrifice of British soldiers in the Falklands, ed his comments about the billy boys song was correct but it wasn't said in an attempt to wipe out sectarianism it was said to wind up rangers fans,

{Ed001's Note - so? If it was right that is all that matters. Stop whining.}

For the first time since I came on this board I fully agree with a thread.It seems that the majority are against the imbecilic sectarian singing. That and the right result at the EGM almost makes me feel optimistic for the first time in 4yrs

Unfortunetly we have many like them who claim to be rangers supporters but I hasten to add so do our friends in the east end who still fly the the irish flag without any reprimands as the saying goes it takes 2 to tango

Ed001 what's your problem they guy asked if I thought collymore was anti-Rangers an I answered the question with what I thought of him so don't go questioning me for no reason

{Ed001's Note - perhaps you should stop whining like a small child and answer the question he asked then, instead of trying to bring Collymore's antics into the discussion for no reason. You are so full of your own opinion that you think no one can question it? Who do you think you are? Do you think you are so special that no one has a right to question you? Especially when you won't even answer a straight question, just hide away from the issue like a politician. You are so happy to shove your opinion down everyone's throat yet you think it can't be questioned? What is wrong with you? People like you are why forums end up in childish bickering, you just shout over everyone instead of having a discussion and bitch at anyone who doesn't just go along with what you have to say, no matter how irrelevant it is.}

Gannet that is right but what I have posted is fact celtic have offically done nothing to defuse anything they make noises about the green brigade but back down because of falling attendances


14.) 22 Feb 2015
Stan is a male katie Hopkins says stuff for a reaction and attention, we know what he is and he is not worthy of a thread on here

Heartening to see so many condemning it, we all get tarred by the Neanderthals. Sometimes I think the vested interests are quite happy with it , the old David and conquer , keep the common man fighting amongst themselves instead of looking upwards at our self serving politicians. I won't be the last guy to think it suits the 'old firm' owners either - they probably see it as an integral part of the rivalry giving it the' X' factor. Maybe we should all be marched around am A&E dept on a game night to dispel any 'romance'
Here's hoping you get rid of your robbing board, and get back up to the premier league the slow way with your youth (you had some good young guys there) HH joe

Bigwull, not entirely true. In 2013 after the fir park incident they suspended over 100 people and disbanded the section of the green brigade. Not exactly doing nothing, and I remember it because when it was in the papers the green brigade went mental and I thought for the very first time "well done the celtic board for standing up to trouble fans"


17.) 22 Feb 2015
Aye but then they backed down our friends from the east end may make statements about this or that but at the end of the day they stick together like claggy toffee

Stan collymore has been always been conceited and big headed but he is not worthy of even a mention in any contextlet him an bt sort out there own problems we have enough of our own to bother about him


19.) 22 Feb 2015
Bigwull, spot on about collybore, he's the type of guy who probably kisses the mirror goodnight, loves the sound of his own voice, Rangers fans don't need to be worrying about the likes of him, he will find something/someone else to pick on next week.
