BigfinLatic Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 "I was born under a Union Jack." The mighty Gers will win the league, as this season, the authorities won't force them play 9 games in 20 days including 2 cup finals. Rangers might be a poor team, but on a level playing field are a far better side than celtc as last seasons trophy count showed. Oh, terrible hard done to Rangers... yes, blame the nasty authorities, not the fact they radically overachieved with a very mediocre squad - which showed when it counted at the end of the season.... And the trophies....ooooh, fantastic, hope Rangers enjoy polishing their reserve cups when Celtic play the cream of europe.... like in this country, i'm sure Man You cry tears of blood for missing out on the league cup... boo hoo... Rubbish... the best team wins the league every season, and Celtic were the best team last year, and will be again this year... especially when rangers have to make up the £6m+ (not to mention gate reciepts) they have missed out on by selling the few decent players they have... Brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers might be a poor team, but on a level playing field are a far better side than celtc as last seasons trophy count showed. That was nothing compared to what Chasetown had to do when they had their cup run following playing us and were doing well in their league. You didnt hear them complaining. Rangers thought they were bigger than Scottish Football and got kindly told that neither they or no other club are. If you'd won either the UEFA CUP or the League. Then no Rangers fan would have to keep churning out that same excuse that I guess Rangers will churn out year upon year. That said, in a one off game you were never going to beat Zenit playing that boring football that got you there. Oh and level playing field slurms.............care to tell me what the old firm results were last season. I think you'll find it was level pegging. You had the league in your own hand and blew it twice at Celtic Park in April. It was the Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink 90th minute winner in the first of the two meetings at parkhead in april that did an untold amount of damage to your season. It's what you deserved for beating Celtic in march and thinking the title was won.

Probably all true, Rangers deserved much and can indeed feel hard done by. They were robbed.

That man knows nothing - they were clearly set fair for another year of glory with a tactic of playing 8 big thugs in defence and booting it long to Fatty, why change?

smartzatart Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 I don`t get what sectarianism has to do with Rangers being knocked out of the champions league qualifier Are you saying every Rangers fan is a sectarian bigot ? what just like every German is a nazi ? Last week against spurs the green and grey were singing pro IRA songs as they did at the Nou camp back in March and as they do at most games they play. If you going to gloat at least have the decency to be a little more informed about it eh ? On a footballing note, they just weren`t good enough, poor signings and nothing learned from last season, not the end of the world (well nearly ) Just like Celtic bounced back from their 5-0 drubbing by Artmedia a few years back, I`m sure Rangers will survive and be ready for the challenges to come ;) WATP. P.S. And put it in the right section next time Bloody hell, i bugger off to church and all hell breaks loose!!! Have you ever been to an 'Old Firm' derby, thought not!! It's like Belfast was during the troubles........pure religious hatred!! Now if you'd like to debate religion, sectarianism or the troubles and the onset from day one to the end, then i'm your man!!

Blue-Mist Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 never ceases to amaze mw why so many support the anti-English hooped fenians when they have such close affiliations to republican terrorists in ireland ... ah well. Funny that the only teams who get on with them south of the border are those redshirts from the Irish capital (liverpool !) and the some of the redsox - any team that Roy 'break your legs' Keane wants to manage sums it all up really !! come on ya blueeesss !!!

(Latics and the mighty Gers !) Anti English?? Bloody hell pal. The whole of Scotland is anti english nevermind, Celtic. I was up their when they played Italy in that crunch game and it was probably the worst place to be for an englishman - an eyeopener and an amazing atmosphere but not the place you want to open your mouth and let them know you're from south of the border. Especially when the words to Braveheart got played and every scotsmen, woman and child was screaming the words with pure venom and passion - I was at the bar at the time and could just about raise a smirk with some scottish lad stood behind me urging me to join in and how we'd do the filthy iti's. That was before all the anti England chants as my dad and a couple of my cousins watched on in amusement. Only reason I didnt get jumped was I remembered to take off my england pin badge walking into the bar and kept my mouth shut apart from sayin "aye" or "ach no" to anything anyone asked me - apart from joining in one rendition of "we'll be coming down the road." but that's only because everyone in the place was singing it and i'd of stuck out like a sore thumb if I hadnt. Good job I had my fingers to point because there was no way I was asking for a pint surrounded by hundreds of the bleeders.

Been to quite a few Old firm games over the past 15 - 20 years pal, I know exactly what you mean, my point was why mention sectarianism ? it was about a game of football and Rangers got beat by the better team end of . I`m sure we both know all about the :censored:e that goes on and you will probably agree that it is not just a one way thing ? Wasn`t after a long boring discussion that neither of us would wholeheartedly agree on, just why mention it in the first place ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yard Dog Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Anti English?? Bloody hell pal. The whole of Scotland is anti english nevermind I was in Edinburgh on the day of the Italy game like you pal and it was a bit scary being an Englishman...most of Scotland truly dislike us English.

leezyverpunk Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Oh and Leezy. Concentrating on the league?? Yeah, because Rangers really did want to just let that £10million+ cash windfall just go past them, didnt they. Money isnt everything Rocky and it would be brill for Rangers to pip scummy Celts to the League and Cup treble whils they get knocked out of Europe to TNS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try bringing an England shirt or St Georges cross into Celtic Park and you will get lynched. This is certainly not the case at Ibrox - I should know, I've been in both England and Oldham colours and St Georges' Crosses, Saltires and the UJ fly in unison. Tragically, the only celebration that took place to celebrate 300 years since the first act of Union between England and Scotland took place last year before a Rangers home game with 50,000 flying union flags.

dish Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 The one thing I give United credit for is at Roy Keane's testimonal when Celtic actually thought they were being serious with all the anti-English crap. They started singing some of their pro-IRA songs in the home end and after the match they got hammered. Rangers had the headline on their next fanzine issue of 'The Love Affair Is Over!' with a picture of Celtic getting a deserved kicking!

(Latics and the mighty Gers !) Ironic that Liverpool have good relations with eltic. Liverpool used to be (and still in small pockets) the most sectarian English city, but it was Everton who were more aligned with the Catholic population. Liverpool was actually quite a staunch protestant based club. Religion and football had a strong relationship throughout parts of Britain for a long time. Hibs-Hearts, Dundee-Dundee Utd, Rangers-Celtic. United were obviously the big Catholic club in England. I think Villa were formed by methodists, or have I got that horribly wrong. Thankfully, Glasgow is one of the few areas where it still has meaning. However, growing up in the 1970s it was expected to have a favourite Scottish team. Due to my background, I have always favoured Hibs, Celtic and Dundee United!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, the biggest Orange Lodge in England is in Scouseland, indeed they hold their parade round Exile's way, although they are probably far too liberal to tempt him along MAnchester United were also the team on the bog-trotting side of the divide in Manchester, they considered going for something with Celtic in the name when they were changing it.

None of this detracts though from the fact that Rangers were stuffed by a team of eel-picklers though Indeed they have the march IN Southport town centre every year much to the annoyance of the locals. >>Visiter Report<< Orange Lodge members parade through Southport Jul 18 2008 by Katie Grant, Southport Visiter SATURDAY saw 1,500 Orange Lodge members parade through the streets of Southport as they were watched and cheered on by thousands of supporters. The march, which happens on July 12 every year, celebrates the 1690 Battle of the Boyne and begins in Liverpool, before making its way to Southport’s Derby Road and through Southport town centre. About 4,000 people watched the Protestant organisation’s march, of which Merseyside Police said “the main contingent passed without incident”. A total of 27 arrests were made on Saturday, 19 of which were people who were drunk and disorderly and six for possession of controlled drugs. British Transport officers enforced a booze ban on trains while barriers were erected from the entrance to Southport station through to the ticket gates, with MerseyTravel staff conducting checks of people’s tickets. Paul Hayes, train station superviser on Saturday, said there were about six arrests at the station. He said: “It went very well. We worked well with the police and it went much smoother than previous years. “There was a custody suite brought down from London, which helped a lot, so we were well prepared. “Most of the people coming through were in high spirits and the majority of arrests were for drunk and disorderly.” Edited August 7, 2008 by oa_exile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
