Celtic V Rangers

Sorry I really still don't get what point or fact it is you are trying to make.

If you want to keep calling me an idiot then back it up and tell me why I'm an idiot for what I posted about the vile stuff being said on social media.

You appear to be ranting but I'm not sure exactly what about - maybe you don't even know yourself.

Here is a little help for you



That's what I posted - so why does posting that make me an idiot ?

Maybe someone could help you out ?

Phil, not sure if you're being deliberately obtuse here?

Anyway, if you're really interested in the underlying reasons why Rangers and Celtic fans can't "just celebrate a victory" I'd suggest you educate yourself on the history of religion in Glasgow/Scotland (thereafter perpetuated by some fans of each side) and also the last few years of Rangers history which has fuelled the fire even more. For someone so fond of Google it won't take you long to find the information yourself. :thup:

Just don't expect a discussion about it on an online forum to end well (actually more chance here than elsewhere but unlikely). There is a reason I don't get involved in them, I dislike both sides equally :whistle:

Cheers NWJocko, in truth I'd rather not talk about it ... But here we have folk saying just explain it and all will be fine pmsl. Absolutely clueless.

My mum and her whole family were born in Belfast and Catholic - have family members playing for Celtic in the past

I'm 100% fully aware of the certain issues with religion as I'm fully aware of the recent history

But as I said it's a football match that one team won - it should never ever justify some of the vile stuff that has been posted.

People using a football match to fuel hatred and violence- grown adults acting like thugs.

Posting what I did doesn't make me an idiot

So that's it then - that's why you started throwing insults at me on a forum

Yes it won't be able to be discussed on a forum when people cant talk about a subject without being abusive.

Just for the avoidance of any doubt, I didn't say anything was justified, just that you could find the reasons people use to hide behind as their justification.

Given your in depth knowledge I'm a little confused as to why you feel the need to ask the question unless you're trolling for a thread to kick off?!


You think it's bad now it's a good job you weren't in Scotland before Social Media, in a way at lot of the bams get their kicks on there now rather than it all going berserk all over Scotland on a Sunday afternoon after an early OF kick off!

I wasn't trolling or looking for anything to kick off

Someone came onto the thread and started to insult me and asked him to explain why he felt the need to do so

No Phil, you came on and asked why Rangers and Celtic fans couldn't celebrate "like mature human beings". If you're 100% aware of everything to do with their history and the nature of (some of) their fans you should know why. Internet + Old Firm = Horrible Outcome :thup:

That's it, I'm not getting involved in your posting carousel on this.

I didn't insult you ... You were being stupid and in a few posts you manage to troll things up on a piss take, as I said it's not something I'm comfortable talking about but you enjoy yourself.

My Dad's generation deffo wouldn't, my Dad had no time for Henrik after he left...

Not sure what the current generation would think, and I can't really comment from a personal point of view as I don't class myself as a fan/supporter any more.

Davie Moyes favourite at the bookies, Neil Lennon 2nd favourite to take over from Deila.

Motes not a bad shout, need someone good as Rangers seem to have got themselves a decent manager......

Surely he'd want Celtic job ahead of the Villa one he's touted for?

He just needs to give the nod and he has the Villa job - not sure if offered Celtic which job he would go for ? I guess starting his career at Celtic would be a pull for him.

Think I'd rather have Lennon back than Moyes, I've never really rated Moyes personally.

Warburton is a class act, will be interesting to see how much cash Rangers have to spend in the summer as they are still hamstrung with the various Ashley contracts in place.

I thought Warburton did a blinder of an impersonation of Walter Smith on Sunday - I did a double take - all he needed was a little more hair...
 
3-2 to the Hibees, wee wake up call.

I always liked Walter Smith but some of the guff he was coming out with last week was very bitter.
He went down a lot in my estimation.
Probably won't bother him much though:smirk:
