Only time you heard them was when they scored and we went quiet and a second later you heard them . Not a patch on the Rangers End though , with the famous cloud of dust that emanated from there every time we scored . Murder on a hot , sweaty day . Those were the days .

Rangers Lady 2,380 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Once they were rivals Forever more they will be the enemy Despicable gypsies, gormless cunts & beady eyed ugly fuckers often sporting pubic hair on their vacuous heads Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 20,371 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 10 hours ago, K.A.I said: I remember going to Old Firm games from the early 90's and a lot of the years during our 9 in a row years I remember coming away from Parkhead quite gutted that we maybe only won 1-0. I know that sounds mental but it was just different times. I never had the intense hatred I have for them now either. Up until our Manchester season I was genuinely not bothering my arse with them but that one season was a game changer ... Hateful bastard John Reid coming on board The formation of the Gr33n Brigad3 Them using the death of an old squad player to get an Old Firm game postponed because they were shitting it as they had McGeady, Boruc and Nakamura either injured or suspended - yet when a Celtic great Burns died, it was "lets play this next game and win the league for Tommy" Their fantasy tour of Japan Since then I have hated them as much as I love us, sometimes even hated them a little more. They are fucking scum. My hatred for them is rivalled only by Yessers and the SNP - although they tend to be the same people anyway. Any Rangers fan that enjoys "banter" with Celtic fans or is happy to sit in their company while they think orange bastard, zombies, cheats, H***, sevco or whatever is a cretin too. I'm with you there in regards to the 07/08 season. I've obviously always hated them but, like you said, that took it to a whole new level that season. Dirty, lowlife, scummy bastards.

Nothing I could put my finger on but somehow I wasn't surprised that it all kicked off afterwards. Only other time I can compare it with was the night they beat us 4-2 to win the league at the piggery in 1979,in the city centre before that game things were particularly edgy and making our way home after that game was like The Warriors movie Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluechip 359 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 There is no Old Firm. We are not connected to that lowlife in any way shape or format, lmho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 The last Old Firm game was incredible and the ones we'll be involved in next season will be very emotional as well. I grew up watching Rangers win nine in a row and to be honest, I took our previous success for granted. I never thought I'd see the day our team would be playing football in the bottom tier. As fans I think we're going to be better for this harsh reality check we've experienced and the next title win will be our greatest moment as football fans. Just remember, the sweet is never as sweet without the sour. Every victory over Motherwell, Hibs, & Dundee United, has new meaning. I've grown as a Rangers fan and I'm sure that's true of just about everyone else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Koyd 50 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Perhaps growing up in a more mixed area can change your perception of the rivalry. I grew up in Ayrshire in an area that was probably about 10 to 1 Rangers, so Septic were always an afterthought to me and still are today. Of course I liked to see them lose and hated to see them have success, but I rarely gave them a second thought until the end of the season when we would often be in a close title race. Some on here seem to consider them far more than I ever have, and maybe that's down to people growing up around more tims, making them see the two clubs as inherently linked.

I've spent my whole life in Glasgow and the number of fans for each club is definitely effected by success. When Rangers were winning nine in a row it seemed like everyone was a Rangers fan. When Celtic stopped us from doing the 10 they certainly came crawling out the woodwork in numbers. These days it seems like Celtic have more fans in Glasgow. When Rangers win the title again I think it'll bring many fans back who have turned away over the last 4 years due to all the shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winners going into Europe .Losers into the Anglo 1978/79 league decider .Rangers required a draw to more or less clinch the title at piggery . If my memory serves me .You are spot on ,think both these points above would have a lot to do with the tension then The 2 games I'd change the result in my lfetime strangely enough. And 2 games the Rangers should have won easily with the chances we created .Still guts me thinking about them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I watch old videos of games I point out to my son the way the crowd moves about on the terracing, and he can't believe it. How many times after a goal did you hear guys shouting they had lost their glasses, their false teeth etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
