Celtic vs Ranger55 - 21 March 12pm


Recommended Posts

Sevco fans underwhelmed by the match?. What a laugh. Does going unbeaten in the league for the whole season not matter a jot to them? What a laugh. If Celtic are not right up for this game the problems at Porkheid are even bigger than most of us imagine!

They have Israeli players, Tory players and board members, they wear a poppy every season, they have plenty of unionists in their support and I would guess quite a few armed forces members too.

I know, but that doesn’t stop the abuse at their own player (Bitton) directors and high profile supporters for being pro Tory and nor did it stop the 50ft banner about “No bloostained poppies”.

So yes they have them, but that doesn’t mean that they are all that welcome which blows their “Open to all” nonsense right out of the water.

Said it before but I do not care about an unbeaten league season. I’d far rather use the time to blood young players.

Sounds very much like the club is indeed open to all then, just as they claim. All, of course, including those people who are opposed to each of those groups.

Not atall, the opposite in fact. If they were open to all then they wouldn’t allow the Green Brigades banners about poppies, the armed forces and tories inside their ground on a regular basis. “Open to all” suggests everyone is welcome regardless of their views on politics or nationality etc. The fact that such displays have been frequently allowed by the club is hardly sending out the message that everyone is welcome.

Ah hour of build up for a dead rubber 😂
 

Sky don’t even try to hide it do they.

Hide what? Like it or not this is a massive fixture that attracts audiences from all over the world. It’s the flagship fixture of Scottish football and without it our game would be fucked.

Literally no one outside of Scotland and Northern Ireland care about the old firm I’m afraid, sport.  But you already know this.

Or in reality, a few Scottish/Irish ex pats here and there. 

Outside the bigotry bubble, no one gives the slightest of fucks.

The game flourished pretty well for a few years without it.

It didn’t really flourish though did it? Attendances at top flight games, for the most part, didn’t really improve, if anything it was the opposite.

In any case they still had Celtic in the top league plus Rangers in the lowers leagues which is why we managed to get television companies covering it and sponsors sponsoring it. If neither were involved in Scottish football the TV companies and sponsors wouldn’t touch it.

That will be why there are hundreds of Celtic supporters clubs in Canada, the US, England and Australia. A good few Rangers ones as well. Because no one outside of Scotland and NI cares about the Old Firm is it?

Plenty of people give a f**k. This thread alone is but a very small example of that with fans from various clubs “outside the bigotry bubble” commenting on it.

12 pages and counting. Not bad. :rolleyes:
