They initially cited Build my Gallows but accepted the clubs submission that it was in no way sectarian, but the club could do nothing to defend itself when faced with documented evidence of the "Fuck the Pope" add ons and the use of the word Fenian, that fact and the possibility of increased sanctions if any appeal should fail will probably mean that the club will decline the opportunity to appeal.
The club are deeply concerned about the manner of the prosecution of this matter particularly the Kafkaesque nature of the anonymity of the accuser/witness and are pushing for the identity to be revealed, but are aware of fact that the likely suspect has already been outed.
I like to think it's by democratic right in a free society to sing what I want where I want and when I want it but that is tempered by my love of the club and now omit singing anything which will damage the club, there's still a time and a place for singing our songs but that place is not in front of anyone who can use them as a stick to batter us with.
The next sanction after closed doors is a total ban from European competition, there is no doubt that those orchestrating the campaign against us namely the sex pesting dope smoking self declared we taig across the city and his acolytes , his posse of compliant journalists (that's journalists in the loosest possible meaning of the word) and all the assorted Rangers haters have the total ban as the destination where they want us to arrive.
Let's all wise up and stop supplying them with the ammunition.
