Friendship Trophy For The Old Firm

Recommended Posts

Just seen that when Sunderland and Norwich played each other in the Premier League on Saturday, they were also playing for the "Friendship Trophy". 

This trophy came about after Norwich had defeated Sunderland in the 1985 League Cup Final as a result of the cameraderie and friendship shown by the fans of both teams. Subsequently it has been awarded to the winner of Sunderland-Norwich games in the league and cup on a regular basis.

Following Sunday's fantastic semi-final, would you be keen to see a similar trophy called "The Scottish Friendship Trophy" being created, and contested for, by Rangers and cellic in memory of the similar respect shown by both sets of fans to each other ?

There is already, well sort of, The Loving Cup is shared at Ibrox every year (or 2nd year) after the Nerday Rangers v Celtic game. The directors of both clubs share a wee dram of whisky out of it in the Blue Room after the game. It's been a traditional ritual for over 100 years.

They've got to toast the Queen as well with it! I'm sure they loved doing that :lol:

In all seriousness it's this sort of shit that's ruining British football and has been for years, becoming the most family-friendly/fun for everyone event that you can enjoy with a hot dog or slice of quiche. 

Football should be a place where everyone can shout insults at the other fans safe in the knowledge they can't even hear you and everyone else is doing it (not tutting or shushing you). The good old days!

I know the OP is only joking but I honestly hate these mega bent ideas they're ruining football in the UK.

One look at the Dortmund and Liverpool fans last week and week before made me wanna spew. Fags are far as the eye can see
