[TheSandman]

Seven times this year.

Seven times this year.

It must be like a Tennants induced Ground Hog Day.................

[Lambert and Payne]

Don't get the interest in the Old Firm - people having one of them as second team etc.   You would think they would be bored to death with playing each 4/5 times every year.

There my 2nd team through one half of my family being all Rangers. I would get seriously bored of playing blose that many times. But my Uncle gets heated and passionate about it every single time. He's not into that sectarian shite, in fact his wife is a catholic and like many others its the love of his team rather than a hatred of the other religion. Most of them up there aren't into any of that bollocks. But its chunk who do ruin it completely unfortunately...

...and Ally McCoist has a pop at Lennon and gets 2 matches whilst Lennon, for being abused by McCoist gets 4. Truely bizarre.
A spokesman for Rangers stated that McCoist was satisfied with the decision and doin well for a fat cowardly hun.

All Coisty said was leave my players alone, Lennon took offence to that. "Hun" - thats as bad as "feenian", dont get into that shite

Correct.

Fuck the pair of them, the sooner both cease to exist the better the world will be. How any Villa fan has Rangers as a favourite team after what those twats did at VP is beyond me.

Come on the Accies!!!

I don't remember that - what was it?

During a friendly in the 70's Rangers fans invaded the Holte en masse. I'm sure the ones who were there can tell you about the actual experience of it.

One of my recollections of that day was the number of pubs in Birmingham that closed - probably for self preservation.

[TimTheVillain]

They kicked fuck out of Manchester 2 or 3 years ago too, am afraid it's drink that's the biggest problem, they just don't stop .

if these 2 clubs are still supposedly big clubs in 15 years from now I'd be surprised, theyre dieing on their arses and are the next dodos if you ask me!

It was the 'friendly' to end all 'friendlies'.  On the way to the ground we got dog's abuse from Rangers fans but thought we'd be safe once we were inside.  At the turnstiles we could see that the Holte End was full of them, so conceded defeat and went home.  I've never seen anything like that at Villa Park before or since.

i was in the Rangers London Loyal pub earlier, the old firm thing is a sad stupid devisive sectarian load of bollocks.
These people are living in the dark ages,when you understand the arrangements that have to be made every time they meet, road blocks for miles, a large part of the city becomes a no go zone, and then afterwards the A&E wards and police cells go into overtime. And every year they share the same trophys. The whole thing is meaningless except for those that wear predjudice as a badge of honour.

[Lambert and Payne]

The whole thing is meaningless except for those that wear predjudice as a badge of honour.

My uncle's don't wear that predjudice badge, and know Celtic fan's that dont believe in any of that. They hate Celtic because they share the city and they compete honours. Obviously theres the Celtic element, but there not all the same, in fact, many aren't like that at all

[Chico Hamilton III]

The only reason people who live outside of Glasgow support Rangers or Celtic is because they are either:

1. Glory hunting - choosing a successful side to tag on to. How can you take anyone seriously who does that

2. Using the club to represent their religion. Disgraceful. How can you take anyone seriously who does that

As bad as Man United fans from Watford ( who all seem to have a nan from Salford).

And, yes, after what Rangers did in 76 at Villa Park.....

McCoist looks like some sort of failed 70s porn star, Lennon is truly a ginger gibbon, jumping around, waving his arms and flaring his nostrils.

Anyone who tells me they're a Rangers or Celtic fan and they're not from Glasgow get the same reaction from me. I laugh at them. There's never been a single one of them who has managed to successfully justify to me why they should support them

[Pete3206]

I like the matches though.
