Briton 394 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 the poster "Briton" won't like thisThat's right...I don't. That's why I posted 'fuck Chelsea' It's also why I started a thread regarding 'posters' getting the club's title wrong. (That's Chelsea of London BTW).

BEE 4,880 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Anyone that favours another English team is as good as a tarrier in my book.Down for the game tonight - up the Chels!Was in the museum at the Bridge yesterday and they have the pendants from the times we played them hanging.

BEE 4,880 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Chelsea are such a shitty wee club and a bunch of glory hunting fansAye that's why the ground has been sold out for every BPL game this season... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Pish. Fuck Chelsea.Where were Chelsea and the millions and millions of Chelsea fans who love Rangers when we were in Admininstration?Bunch of gloryhunters these days with their Barcelona tops, Chelsea and Man U tops, half of them probably dont own a Rangers top.None of these teams have any affliliation with Rangers as much as folk want them to. None of these teams, other than Linfield, have ever done a thing for us in modern times. Fuck the lot of them. Why does everyone have to have 2 or more teams.Rangers is my Club and I couldnt care about any other club, and I think its cringey how everyone who likes Arsenal or Chelsea or whoever has to try and come up with some nonsense about how the Club has a pyoor speshul tarrier like relationship. Because they dont. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I am a Rangers fan that lives in West London. I do not think most of the Chelsea fans I have sat among know of any link really, sure there are stands outside selling a link but 60 per cent have no idea. I go to Chelsea occasionally as it is 20 mins away but to be honest its better atmosphere in the pubs before and after-I know that is true everywhere!Because probably about 90%+ chelsea fans couldnt give a shit about what they perceive as a little Scottish Club, the fact that so many cling to these English teams makes me think they share that view Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,765 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Couldn't care less about any English team. Sure most of their fans are the same about Scottish teams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatNightInFlorence 696 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Fair enough when people like an English team as well these days but keep it away from Ibrox. I cringe when I see people wearing Chelsea tops at Ibrox! If you're going to pick an English side to favour however, at least make it Arsenal!

Because they dont.There's a difference between liking other clubs and supporting them though. There's various teams I like to do well (tends to change with players/managers) but I don't feel any pain if they lose. You can only really support one club.

cr3_bear 14,738 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Not really bothered by the whole chelsea thing , only club I have a wee other soft spot for are linfield , only team who bothered their arse reaching out a helping hand when we were in the shit Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_ger 1,454 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Chelsea fans like Rangers because they want their club to aspire to be like ours. Like many other clubs do. Rangers are the only club for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been going to Ibrox for 23 years and never heard of this Chelsea connection, ive always known there were bears who supported Chelsea and vice versa, but its only recently ive started to hear about this connection and relationship, its nothing more than some fans sharing the same views the Clubs themselves have no connection. I for one dislike Chelsea. And i dont think ANY Clubs name deserves to be alongside The Rangers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Chelsea are a small club bought by a billionaire, and its only then that i remember folk shouting about them,no one made a big deal of the connection when they were just another club, at least in my memory Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad has talked to me about the Rangers/Chelsea connection as long as I can remember and he started going to games in the mid 60s.I'm not saying I like Chelsea or we should all support them, no one other than Rangers for me either, but there is clearly more to it than the point you raised.

Absolutely, I've always seen plenty of England or Northern Ireland flags with both the Rangers and Chelsea crest on them.Bar's like the Dog's Bollocks bar in Thailand, started by Chris 'chubby' Henderson, a one time leader of the Chelsea Headhunters, is both a Chelsea and Rangers bar, as are others.Supporters Clubs like Invicta Loyal, both Rangers and Chelsea fans, as are others.The connection has always been there, from way at the start, to more up to date stuff as the article the OP posted explains.I'm a Rangers fan, i'm a Rangers fan only, but I like Chelsea due to the connection with my Team, Rangers.

I thought I knew a little of Rangers history but I didn't know that. I knew of the Arsenal connection of the 30's and the mutual respect between Chapman and William Struth; and that we used to play teams like Nottingham Forrest and Blackburn Rovers on a regular basis in the early days, but I don't remember any particular connection with Chelsea.
