Come on, it's a chant, there are no ideals or principles behind it and never has been. For fuck sake, do you refuse to sing about the reds steaming in because it doesn't fit your principles? The same liberal movement which saw us chanting about us bouncing on folks heads. Football hooligans started pretty much every long standing chant we've ever used and nobody gave a fuck about the meaning behind them. 1 3 1 Link to comment

But to believe that somehow Aberdeen fans singing two words Stand Free at the beginnjng of a football chant makes us holier than thou is off the mark. I dont need a football chant to make me have morals. 1 Link to comment

We don't really Stand Free from anything. We just take an aggressive opposing view depending if it's Rangers or Celtic we're playing. Well that's how it used to be. 1 Link to comment
Cambridge Red Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Might be an idea to get shot of these first six pages and start again before the poor lad has time to discover we have a fans forum and gets curious to see if he has a thread. Just want him to get the ball at his feet and start playing now so we can get the focus back to he's really good/shite etc. Link to comment

I’ve never once thought we were morally superior to any support. We can be quite vile, myself included at certain matches. ‘Stand Free’ maybe wasn’t coined as a neutral term but I can see why some have interpreted that way. AFC is essentially apolitical in its essence though. We have no religious founders or institutions that we attach ourselves to, out with the city itself. With that being the foundation of the club, I would argue a lot of folk are absolutely correct in embracing the “whoever, wherever” stance. Many different political opinions are had when everyone is inside Pittodrie, but they aren’t explicitly expressed. The key difference with us and the big two, and you could argue the Edinburgh two. When some cunt is suggesting that he’ll be offering folk out on the basis of a flag being present, it completely undermines the principle of the football club, imo. Completely missing the point of what Aberdeen FC should be for its supporters. 2 1 Link to comment
