Drums and sectarianism given an amnesty for one evening only!

It is old but it is beautiful and its colours they are fine
It was worn at Wembley, Anfield, Old Trafford and the Sty...
My father wore it as a youth in bygone days of yore
So on the 7th I proudly wear, the scarf my father wore.

Top work Gary.

Can we see your version of Build my Gallows next?😉

If we’ve got a drum, we deserve to get beat.

Just artfully spill a bit of ribena and WKD on a strip of bed linen if it comes to it 👌

Sounds desperate tbh....not really my cup of tea but why the hell would you trial it in a game of this magnitude? This sort of stuff takes time to get right and a wide audience on board...I can only see most the crowd thinking wtf and not really knowing what is going on so it will have a detrimental effect

Yup. I'm not there tomorrow, I don't really care. It won't be a big deal either way.

But if you think this is a good thing and could be some sort of marginal gain, give it a run-out against Bologna. Or Young Boys.

Just all a bit amateurish.

Hopefully the drum brings better luck than the bugle did against Celta.

There will be some nice half-and-half scarves available outside before the game.

Thank you for telling me how to support us. I'm sorry I won't be there like I used to be for countless seasons on end. I'll have to just cheer us on from home.

A drum in each stand would be better. Drum battles!!!
