Falling back...

to their old ways...

It was inevitable I suppose - especially with Leggings struggling to keep their beloved diddies in second place.

But it has to be said - the delay of the tax case seems to have tipped them over the edge.

Now we're getting conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory trotted out.

From The Bouncy being a hate-filled sectarian song...

To a polis cover-up over the naughty singing.

Some on these boards are even dredging up conspiracy theories from 30yrs ago.

It's all healthy for us Bears - they only trot this garbage out when they know the writing's on the wall.

Whatever happened to "No excuses"

Sigh.

No, it actually goes back further as a chant Dos. The songs words would have been taken from the chant.

It comes from the time when Ibrox pitch was used as a place for the Shipyards workers to meet and 'We are the people' was used as a slogan of people power for striking workers. It was chanted by the crowd at Ibrox to show solidarity and people power. The Yard bosses and management would also attend games at Ibrox and this is where it comes from.

Celtic fans have spread the MYTH for years that it's about some sort of superior race crap. I'm sure there are few nuggets who are Rangers fans who sing it meaning this. However there's also those who believe the Bouncy is about jumping on heads and Bluebells about...

We're talking of it coming in the early 20th century and Protestants in Belfast putting it on a banner being Rangers fans (big deal) doesn't change it's origin. It means people power, as I clearly stated. You are such a sadcase!
