I hate Rangers, and I hate Celtic and that will never change.
I also dislike Hearts, Hibs and Dundee United but none of those three will ever come close to my feelings towards the OF.
Celtic and Rangers are lumped together and viewed as one entity because they themselves take this stance as long as it benefits them. This 'intense rivalry' bollocks is fair enough fan-to-fan but Martin Bain and Peter Lawwel are fucking bum chums when it comes to trying to sap as much cash out of the Scottish game as possible. |
I wasn't talking about the South Stand. I was in the Dick Donald Stand, and it was quite bad.
I'm not trying to make a point that Dons fans are better or worse than Celtic fans. I'm trying to make the point that Celtic fans are nowhere near as bad as Rangers fans. Rangers fans (not as an entirety, I know many perfectly well mannered/non-violent Rangers fans) are a level below other sets of fans in terms of their behavour at football matches, particularly when travelling. The amount of incidents that have followed them about is no coincidence and it's certainly not just a run of bad luck or everyone else causing the problems as they keep trying to claim. What Rangers need to do as a club is stand up and say "our fans' behaviour on x occasion was unacceptable and we will do our best to find the ones at the heart of the trouble and ban them". Then they have to actually go and do it. Once guys start getting banned for their unacceptable behaviour, others may just start behaving a bit better. The problem Rangers then have is that so many of their fans are fucking morons, that they could lose a lot of revenue, and I'd say this is probably the reason they haven't been more pro-active.
And I completely accept your point that the old firm are lumped together all the time through their efforts, which is why I'd be quite happy if Rangers just disappeared, then there could be no "old firm" you could all just vent
all your rage at Celtic.
