Why would you be? I haven't discussed BU with you?

About time you smelled the Coffee mate. We all want Blue, but Tan out is the wrong approach. Tan has done a lot of good things for our club.
there was no apology for you. Nothing to do with smelling any coffee. BU has changed its stance recently - it wasn't always like this.

Agree. Speak to some of the people she has (polite wording) "debated" the situation with![]()
It doesn't make for pre-watershed listening, as any 'non-compliance' with her views is teated with contempt

My stance hasn't changed regarding the rebrand, I've just chosen not to support BU, as they aren't looking primarily for a return to blue & I will join any reasonable protest & one that does it in the correct way.

I marched today. I have disagreed with a few things that BU have done, but looked beyond that and went along as I want blue back & wanted to do something to air that view. Many are looking for the "perfect protest", which is simply impossible - as everyone has different views.
Sadly, today's march has given me a different view of BU & it is not in favour of BU.
I arrived at the castle with a friend and we were greeted warmly by some other fans. I asked some questions to other fans about Tan & I was given the distinct impression that if I didn't want Tan out, then I wasn't really welcome on the march.
Ignoring this, I marched anyway. It begun well enough (apart from someone's child in a full red strip in the middle of the photo opportunities!). It soon became apparent that the march wasn't about blue, but about TAN OUT.
To the several people who I have discussed this with over the past week or so, I apologise (Craig, Mario Polotelli et al) - as you were right & I was wrong. BU is about getting Tan Out, which is not the right way to go.
The songs sung went from singing about Swansea (why? totally pointless) to calling Tan a ladyboy and songs with a racist element.
The plan was to stop at the Ninian gates and tie blue scarves, posters, shirts, banners etc to the gates - great idea I thought... except that the gates were pretty much bypassed & headed straight for the grandstand.
Crowds quickly dispersed from there & we were left with a few climbing on the Keenor statue (and we have a go at Tan for disrespecting CCFC history?!) & it fizzled out.
BU had much promise, but I fear that today's event did it far more damage than good.

You really need to get a life. Eastenders is on tonight, maybe that will sort out your need for a drama.

I haven't called BU racist at all - please stop making things hp. A small minority were singing distasteful songs which could easily be construed as racist. (That's certainly how I read it)
These songs are not the sort of songs that ANY protest group should associate themselves with.
