That has nothing to do with Kris Boyd's brother as well you know.

It is about the old club being dead, nothing more.
What ever the reason it should not have been done. It is in extremely poor taste and has no place in football. This and the smashed up toilets shows why neither side can claim any moral high ground and why the rest of Scottish football did not miss these matches.

Absolutely disgusting, just days after Kris Boyd's brother commits suicide.

Awful but Rangers fans mock child abuse by singjng Jimmy Saville stuff which is repugnant. Both sides have nuggets in their support.

Even if, you think its alright then?. Take a long look at yourself.

To do so just days after the above tragic suicide is at best tasteless.
Where did I say I thought it was alright? It was a bam up and judging by the faux outrage the person who done it has gotten the attention and reaction they wanted with your clubs fans going mental online.

I just said it had nothing to do with Kris Boyd's brother.

When will Rangers and Celtic fans get it that everyone else is sick of the 'he said she said' that goes on. Instead of claiming the faux moral high ground cause they did something worse or blame it on that eternal small minority, man up and condem it properly and do something about it - a majority has much stronger power than a minority.

I feel as if we have all stepped back in time 5 years and nothing has changed and the rest of us have to endure this crap all over again.

Its not just Celtic and Rangers fans that sing sectarian songs or other songs. Aberdeen,Hibs and Hearts have a minority of fans that sing awful stuff too.

How can clubs stop it? They can't as there will always be a minority of fans that sing it.

Again the 'oh but such and such do it too'....

Ok here's a crazy suggestion instead of asking how the club's can stop it why not ask what the fans can do to stop it. I keep hearing it is only ever a minority of fans so start letting them know it's unacceptable, that you won't tolerate it, in other words police yourself instead of wringing your hands saying isn't it terrible somebody should do something.

If clubs were to accept strict liability rules in Scottish football in the same vein as UEFA have for their competitions then there would be an improvement IMO.

The clubs don't want it though.

Another diddy team pumped, my prediction of 4-0 was wrong though

Good performance from Celtic but nothing unexpected when we have better quality in every position and players who never made our bench... Bailly, Simunuovic, Ambrose, Boyata, Ajer, Henderson, Christie, Mackay-Steven and Commons would walk into these teams.

As for the performance of the opposition, hopeless, could only pass the ball about their own half for a couple of minutes at a time trying to get a breather. Barely ever got into Celtic's half as Sviatchenko, Toure, Brown and Bitton had nothing at all to do defensively. Niko Kranjcar had the fitness and physicality of an anorexic junkie, one of the most embarrassing performances i've seen in the flesh, there were thousands of fans in the stadium who are fitter than him.

Childish nonsense from Scott Brown, but then I don't expect any less. I wouldn't expect such from a McStay or an Aitken, but then they are greats/legends, Brown never will be.

Immature man and player, all comments like that do is steel opposing players resolve.
Scott Brown is not in my league and Brendan Rodgers having a midlife crisis comments came from a player at your club, yet you get upset when Broony speaks the truth.

Correct.

Brown said it was easy and it was, he wound up Barton on the park, after dominating him and his team pumping his not by speaking nonsense off it. There is a cracking picture of when they shake hands before the match, Scott Brown had won the battle there and then he is staring into Barton's face as Barton's head is sheepishly bowed scared to look at Brown.

Brown is a strong character who can take it and dish it out and does his talking on the park. Barton is a dafty who spouts garbage at every turn, constantly embarrasses himself and then his arse collapses when confronted. He's a footballing Hugh Keevins.

Seen him described as the Brylcreem Ian Black.

Massive game on Tuesday, it is a huge ask to get anything but Barcelona were beaten yesterday so there is some hope.

I agree. The problem I have is the attitude 'they' have since Suville. Their ego has got far too big. Bottom line is that they genuinely think they are now better fans than Rangers. Or anyone else. They are under the delusion they are loved/respected in world football, both as a club and as a support.

They whine when we sing 'sectarian' songs, yet claim theirs are 'political'. They bring up Manchester, but ignore their own behaviour, such as the notorious OF game of 99, Hugh Dallas and all that jazz. Look at the constant trouble with UEFA.

A genuine anti-bigotry man like McCann has been replaced by a CE who shamefully panders to a bigoted section of Celtic fans who call themselves The Green Brigade. They have the gall to complain about Armed Forces Day at Ibrox, yet such a thing can never happen at CP, such is the sheer hatred of Britain and the Armed Forces. Enter as evidence the noxious banners about the wearing of the poppy and the armed forces. Look at the backlash when for once (and I do commend them) they wore the poppy on the jersey.

We Bears/Gers are no angels. We have embarrassed the club and the country, we have our issues. We admit that. BUT so do they. Not that you'd know it. To be honest, and I understand its just my opinion, I find our support overall more honest. And yes, we have our eejits, bampots, bigots and even outright scum.

The difference imo is that we admit it. Unlike our cross city cousins who still wrap themselves in the smug blanket of Seville. And try and seriously convince the world we and only we are the big bad nasty bigots. As proven by people like you, the rest of Scotland and the world isn't buying it.

That said, the vast majority of Old Firm fans are fine. Great even. Most of us aren't eejits, bampots, bigots or scum. Just decent fans who love our two clubs. Long may that continue.

And plenty of non-OF fans are morons and small minded wee tubes.


Right , rant over.

And I don't support them. In fact, again, I will link you to Gers fan forums, where I have said he should STFU and Warburton is wrong to let him away with his twitter nonsense. I stand by what I said. Brown is an immature man-child, and his regular comments and behaviour on and off the pitch are not that of a Celtic captain.

Neither a rangers nor Celtic fan, but Celtic dominated here, rangers looked exactly where you would think, a team that just got promoted, playing the top if the league side, well done Celtic, good to see the old firm back though.
You only come on this thread for a dig against Celtic.
How is this "having a dig at celtic"?

Your club doesn't admit it. Will they condone your fans from wrecking our toilets?

Your club also didn't condone the fans who went on the pitch in the cup final.

You admit your fans are no angels yet your club doesn't.

More honest? Yeah right.

Celtic have condemned the Green Brigade on plenty of occasions when they step out of line. You forget they were banned for a while.

50 International caps abut 20 as captain, 70odd European appearances about 40 as captain - playing a few times in the Last 16 of the Champions League, captaining Celtic to 5 League titles and numerous Cups, In total has won I think about 12 trophies with us.

Well befitting a Celtic captain.

Thats why he's hated in Scotland as he's a very successful Celtic captain. The most successful since Billy McNeill I think.

Condemn.

The Rangers board condoned their fans who rioted at the cup final so I doubt they'll condemn the ones who wrecked the toilets yesterday. Infact, they'll probably say one of the hot water taps was too hot and the The Rangers support showed remarkable restraint in only wrecking the toilets.

1--Disgraceful if they don't condemn, find and ban them. Sine die will do nicely.

2--No, they didn't condone them. I have a spare dictionary btw.

3--Rangers, like Celtic, are open about no tolerance of fans behaving like eejits. There is a message every home game. There are ways to report fans. Rangers and Celtic will and do ban/eject fans if necessary. These days, thankfully, very few and far between.

The issue with the Cup Final was (imo rightly) that we felt we were getting 50% of the flak for 5% of the trouble. Hibs fans caused the vast majority of the trouble that day ( I know, I was caught in the middle of it). We/the club felt their appalling antics were being downplayed and outright condoned. No true Gers fan condones the blue eejits who went on the pitch. All we asked is for the authorities to be bold and apportion the correct blame, not some mealy mouthed 50/50 blame. By all means, condemn us for what our fans did.

4--No, we probably aren't. I and others just get tired of the rather smug post-Seville self-congratulations of the Bhoys. The same fans who coined Dallas and ran amuck that day in 1999.

5--And what did you do?. You let them back in. Excuse me if I don't put up the well done Celtic bunting.

Think Celtic will play 3 at the back.

Kiernan handed Celtic about 3 goals on a plate, he's the worst Rangers centre half to ever pull on the jersey. Senderos just isn't going to cut it, he was way down the list behind Mariappa and Lescott and a few others. McKay's chance at 2-1 would have made it a different game but the midfield needs Holt, Halliday and Windass with McKay dropped who was dreadful and O'Halloran put in.

No Rangers post match interview on sportscene? Was that why it was edited to make it look like the Ponderos red card was why Weir was mad?
