    Yeah, also seen a reply in the previous page about others starting a song. The Green Brigade won't sing along with you if you start a song and is not a member.

    It's been sung a few times this season. Wish it was sung more though, I love that song.

    If you kept singing it then they would of already started another song e.g. Willie Maley. I can see your point though, if the person wants to continue singing it then he shall.

    Exactly. I think if the GB increased how much they sung it, it would become hugely popular again, just look how big JCGE has become. (not saying that FOAR isn't popular, just that it isn't sung as often now compared to days gone by)

    Weird, I was just thinking this today. Maybe something to do with The Huns singing their snide version all the time? I dunno what the reason is but I wish we would sing it more and reclaim it from those * and from Liverpool too with their shockingly * version.

    Yeah, it seems like the non-Irish songs are becoming more popular at home and away games these days, especially IJCGE, which is without a doubt the favourite right now. Let's All Do The Huddle is another one, but I guess that's more of a chant than a song. Champions of '67 is one that I've been hearing an awful lot lately too.

    I still hear LTPS and Roll of Honour being belted out now and again, more so at the away games, because it's normally only the GB that sing at Celtic Park, except on OF days and soon to be European nights no doubt :50:

    The 67 chant is awful IMO.
