Personally, I don't miss that O&! F@*! fixture. What about you?

[OLE SUPER WILBERT 2,475]

How can you compare an NHL game to a Rangers celtic game

[Bothwellbear 1,392]

As much as I hate the bullshit that goes with it...but I do really miss them(old firm games). Sorry but albion rovers and stenhousmuir do not exactly bring about the same level of excitement. I dread our first meeting again as it will be utter carnage...but beating them really is just the sweetest thing.

The comparison is in the level of hatred between the fans. It was intended to signify that even other sports don't come close.

[OLE SUPER WILBERT 2,475]

I agree they dont.

There are other football matches that do though. Not saying there is as much hatred because I dont know but if anyone thinks it's exclusive to us and derbies in places like Turkey, Italy and Argentina have no hatred between fans you're mental.

Again I didn't say these other places don't have intense rivalries, I said that they were local to their own little areas. Ours is worldwide and then some.

For those saying they don't miss it I take it you'll not be to bothered about having a ticket when it comes around?

[OLE SUPER WILBERT 2,475]

Aye the Milan derby is only talked about in Milan.

[*Manticore* 1,893]

I think most people who say they don't are only kidding themselves on, that or they've never been in the Stadium when we've turned them over. The atmosphere, although poisonous is intense, it's the game where all the fans are usually united and singing (rare these days). There's few greater feelings that having them on the back foot.

Can't you grow up and understand that people have different opinions from you?

[rangersfc77 170]

Aye I miss them not. I personally believe it will take at least a generation to heal the wounds. The love/hate relationship was already bordering on insanity. Do we need the financial incentives of the old firm probably but I reckon there will be to much bad blood for it ever to be worthwhile and I would fear real trouble

Love hate?

[rangersfc77 170]

Love hate?

Love Rangers love the big occasions and victories Hate Septic (beyond normally sporting boundaries) Hate losing so much it festers lol

[kanjo 26,332]

i miss it because it's about the only excitment in the country for our club outwith Europe.

[Don54 25,552]

Miss moments like this,damn right i do

[keithgersbear 3,225]

No game comes close to it on this earth. The other games are kindergarten compared to it.

[foghorn leghorn 608]

FFSSSSFFFFFFFFFFFFFFGfffffffs,,,,,,,,,,,,,,what's the matter with u lot, being a ST for 26 years, I used look forward to the tension and aggro of their visit to the Broomloan Stand. From stupid papal flags to Paddy McCourt's Fen--n Army to a wee guy dressed as the pope blessing everybody. At half-time, when I wasn't going for a slash, I noticed that to a man they all sang and clapped to the "soldier's song." After the game you became normal again, went to the pub or go home and then calm down again. WATP.

[OlegKuznetsov 10,816]

Already promised to give my season ticket to my wee cousin for those games in perpetuity.

Why?

[foghorn leghorn 608]

Why?

Cause he's not interested. I used to get a sore stomach before the game.

[OlegKuznetsov 10,816]

Why?

I don't want to be in an environment with them in it. It churns my stomach to think of their presence within our stadium.

[stuart1994 4,304]

Of course you miss it, no other game comes close to it, for me it tops European nights anyone either side of the divide must miss it, I can truly say there is nothing that comes close to those games, nothing but a 90 minute adrenaline rush.

[Christchurch Rangers 1,229]

I do not miss the fixture at all. There is not one scintilla of desire in my being to see it ever again.

If we win every future match gainst the scum by a scintilla or three then I am all for it

do you mean slash or sash

[bluenose48 951]

Yes I miss them.

Unfortunately they are the only barometer, in Scotland, as to how we are going.

[CalvinC 1,414]

Sometimes get the feeling that some (Not the OP) want all our rivals to disappear and we play in a wee friendly league where everyone loves us and we can all enjoy the friendly banter as we all sing together.

Same. It is different and a new adventure going to away games and stadiums we've never been to, but I can't say I have been that excited or pumped up about a game in a long time. I don't get goosebumps at the thought of playing and beating Forfar for example. So aye enjoying the break, but canny wait to beat them again. Nothing is sweeter in football.

[CalvinC 1,414]

A slash bash
