bluto Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Of course there is a lot of interest in this fixture. I have no problem admitting I am very interested in it. The facts are that they were the two hugely big clubs in a small country, and it is only natural they attracted a ton of attention. No-one else comes close in honours won, stadium capacity, fanbase, commercial income, European appearances.... By any measure they were big, successful, and that is looking at it coldly and impartially. Personally, my interest is similar to watching the start of a Grand Prix - there might be a huge crash that you watch through your fingers, but you still watch it. The Rangers dynamic means that this particular fixture is loaded with never-seen-before shifts in power and squad strength. The 'car crash' I hope, results in them getting humiliated 7-0, with Celtic's turn coming with a 2 or 3 goal loss to Aberdeen or Dundee Utd in the final. I dislike both of them, but that doesn't mean I am not interested in watching the game on Sunday. My passing interest in that match is only a wish to see cheats being beaten, put in their place - which is really not even in SPFL1... I wouldn't watch it if it was in my back garden. Honestly. (I'd charge them plenty for that, however.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 A few pubs in Renfrew shutting early tomorrow. Some are not even opening and my local is doing ticket entry only and closing around 8pm. All because the half wits of the town cant behave before, during and after a football game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksoft Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) So much so you genuinely managed to post about it... go take a flying f**k tae yersel I'm genuinely interested. What response are you expecting when you post stuff like this? Are you actually expecting me to listen to you? A forum is the worst possible place to act like an aggressive hardman. It's laughable.

We've won more domestic trophies than them too. In fact We've won more challenge cups than them and that's saying something given they've had 3 attempts to date!

Aye, but that depends if you're talking about the club, the company, the holding company, or that mystical ethereal entity that still lays claim to the five wee embroidered stars, or merely the Sports Direct Works XI.

davidg Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Our players should stay off twitter when these 2 are playing. We all know most of them support one or the other but tweeting their support for one of them is a bit silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murray street Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Craig Thomson just made a huge refereeing blunder by not allowing advantage to celtic. I am sure if some of our petty conspiracy theorist saints fans look hard enough they can say that Craig Thomson did that because he hates st mirren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murray street Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Thats 4 different sectarian songs I have heard from the rangers fans at hampden today, are the police not supposed to be arresting people for sectarian abuse? These are banned on the bigotry list so why is no one being arrested? Edited February 1, 2015 by murray street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
