Old Firm week,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Bear 25]

As soon as the final whistle went against Well all that’s been consuming my little brain is the game against “them”.

I know every OF game is important but this one, in my own opinion, is the most important for many years. I don’t need to explain to you guys why that is.

I actually don’t really enjoy OF games because i get so nervous the whole week then just sit watching the game a emotional wreck. Even if we are 2 or 3 up with 5 mins to go i still think we can loose

I have been doing small bits of consulting for engineering companies today and had to have a word in my own shell, because i was being short, and rude with people that did not deserve it. I am like this for every OF game but this one has got right under my skin.

So does anyone else go through a sort of..........well.......change in attitude in the build up to an OF game.

For the record i know we have the Valencia game, so i guess that is adding to my nerves this week, but for me the OF game is numero uno...............

I'm generally fine.

I'm pretty calm during the game too, but I do start getting edgy in the last 20 minutes when we are beating or drawing with them at Celtic Park. I just can't wait for that final whistle to go.

Even when Rangers score at Celtic Park (as stupid as this sounds) I don't celebrate. I prefer to stand still and look at 7 thousand Bears going ape shit all around me. That gives me some amount of satisfaction.

Concentrating more on the Valencia game, to be honest. Old Firm nerves wont kick in until Friday night.

Agree mate, heads up your arse all week and for about a week after it depending on the result. I honestly think know were taking all 3 on Sunday! :chopometer:

I wish i was like you weeman FUCK, i am even shaking typing this at the thought of the last 20 mins..........

I understand watching fellow Bears go nuts.........the best place for that was the old Hampden

I never got to a Rangers game at the old Hampden I think the first was one Kilmarnock in the semi final of the Scottish Cup in 1994, but even then, most of the stadium was seated by then.

It only really affected me a couple of seasons ago in the run-up to the Stevie Davis OF game in may 2009. I was a nervous wreck in the few days before that game. Also last year in the week before the Edu game, I was nervous about that one for some reason, and my housemates at uni noticed it, I was asked "Are you on your period or something?"

we play celtic this week........

oh fuck dont panic mr manwairing

One game I was shitting myself at was when we more or less clinched 9 In A Row up there. The nerves for almost all of the second half was unbareable.

I also made myself a little promise after getting beat at Parkhead off Hearts in the 1998 Scottish Cup final that I'd never feel that bad after a game of football ever again, but that's not to say I don't celebrate after a good result infact, it takes me most of the week to recover!!

I genuinely am envious of you mate. I have got time on my hands right now so i guess having time to think about it doesn’t help.

I kill a few street strumpets during the week to ease the tension.

[DarcheVinny 1,002]

i cant see past valencia right now, OF been in back of my mind since 14/8/10 however

Golf is my only legal outlet right now

[G.E.C. 14,243]

I've never had any nerves before an OF. Could be an age thing maybe.

[baltic_blue 108]

i honestly hate games against them. the week leading up to it is horrible. I used to think that the hatred and anger would start going away as i got older. does it fuck. it gets worse. The daft pricks who support the smaller teams like to go on about us being spoiled and how they are better supporters than us as they support a team that never wins anything. well fuck them i say. supporting Rangers is 10 times harder on your nerves than supporting a team who is not expected to do fuck all. it consumes your life supporting Rangers. The Valencia game should be the number one priority but unfortunately for me i wont be able to even think about Valencia seriously until on the day of the game.

We walk the same path mate...........

I wish i wasn’t like this though as it is not healthy.........

you over this way for the game mate or over there??

[Millsyrfc1 13]

Nerves probably won't kick in until after the valencia game, Just really looking forward and really up for the game on wednesday that for once in my life the old firm has taking the back seat in my fickle little brain.

[BlueDream 12]

I always feel more nervous in the build up to the game than actually on the day of the game. Regardless to say, I do drink a shitload of alcohol on the day of the game and sing my heart out with 7000 other Bears.

[rfcfraserrfc 262]

I am confident but as always i am shiting it :chopometer:

[Big Laff's Dodgy Barnett 20]

argue with tims all week.

be very nervous just thinking about the game let's get right into these fenian, tattie-munchin, wean beasting, unwashed, scum of the earth cunts

We Are The People, No Surrender

:weiss: :weiss: :weiss:

[Broxi 7,510]

lets face this one game doesnt decide the season, not by a long shot, another 3 after and both teams will drop points elsewhere.

and im thinking about valencia on wednesday first, a vital game for qualification

[pwrfc 32]

I just sit and wait and then on the day of the game I become a bigot for the day.
