Supporting Celtic/Rangers

[RiG]

I will be strongly supporting Milan and Tel Aviv over the next couple of days  :003:

[buckett]

Not me though. During the European tournaments I break with my "hate OF" tradition and give my backing to whichever Scottish teams are in the competitions, genuinely hoping they prevail.

Strangely, I could never do that with Elgin City when they were (quite often) the sole non-league representatives in the Scottish Cup, although admittedly I was young and foolish then!

Incidentally I have noticed, during European nights, people on these boards openly hating Celtic in a Rangers way and similarly hating Rangers in a Celtic way, if you see what I mean.

Ha! I know who you are!!

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

I'm supporting Cellic and Tel aviv.

[Conival]

Was going to support Celtic tonight, but just found that I couldn't.

I blame my mates (of the hooped variety) for thinking that they would win it because they are celtic.  :020:

One day, ICT will get a place in Europe generated by Old Firm success.

I will always root for any Scottish team in europe because their success is good for Scottish football.

Even ones whose fans perform Hitler salutes while playing a game in Israel?

It was the red hand of Ulster salute.

[RiG]

I disagree. Look at the elevation of the hand. Clearly at an angle more akin to a Hitler salute than the Red Hand of Ulster.

For someone who served in Northern Ireland  at the height of the "Troubles" I think I am more qualified than you to know the difference RIG.

I am merely putting my opinion across. I don't expect you to agree with it.

What a clown. If you hate The Rangers, thats your pathetic choice, but to try & accuse the bears of a nazi salute, well thats just the insidious behaviour i'd expect from a supporter of a jealous, non-entity club.

Why is it pathetic to dislike a club whose fans seem intent on shaming Scottish football with their disgraceful actions whenever they go into Europe?

Your supporters actions in Villareal were disgusting as well and Rangers fans give Scottish Football a bad name. That's why I refuse to support them in Europe.

I see also that you have to resort to abuse to try and get your "points" across much like you did in the thread with Charles Bannerman the other day. Now that is really pathetic.

...............so it's alright for the supporters of a team representing Scotland in Europe to give the Red Hand of Ulster salute then.  :023:

I suppose it just goes to show that the raison d'etre for Rangers is religious bigotry. And Celtic too, I suppose.

Perhaps a few people do support Rangers and Celtic as their local team.

But I would suggest that anyone old enough to decide for themselves, without connections to the relevant parts of Glasgow, who supports either of those two teams, does so for reasons of religious bigotry.

Looks like B N P means more than Brand New Poster :017:

[Kingsmills]

Rangers and Celtic are both very difficult to love but on balance I tend to support them in Europe although with the behaviour of Rangers fans in particicular the fact that the club is nominally Scottish can be a very difficult concept to accept.

[RiG]

I had wondered that myself  :015:

Nice "We Are The People" shout from him on another thread  :017:

[Kingsmills]

I was wondering that myself.

People can find fault with the twins of evil. People can even have good things to say about them. Personally I take it all with a pinch of salt. No matter who the Scottish team are thats doing well in europe I give not a toss. I will. however, root for them for the simple fact that if they get consistant good results then more places will open up for other Scottish teams. And that can only be good for the game in this small nation of ours. So whether you are a bigot or a victim of bigotry, or even if you support a team because of the football, please try and put it all aside and support the future of the game.

Anf finally, WELL DONE TO BOTH TWINS THIS WEEK

[Heilandee]

seems some see it for what it is.....

red hand salute?

I dont support either pair of the twins easily but watching thon diveing pr*ck fae AC Milan helped sway me and Rangers easily outclassed Hapoel Tel Aviv so fair play, hope they meet Newcstle (meh English team) then we'll see what there made of.

[Guest donmac298]

"this mythical Red Hand Salute does not exist" - I can assure you that it does.

im not having that as an excuse, if the nazi party set up shop in inverness would you join them because they were your local party.  regardless of where their fans come from theyre all guilty by association

brand new poster why did you start crying when RIG said he hated rangers.  are you a fcukwit

[clacher_holiday2]

also yes i wanted them both to lose, i was happy when gretna and hearts got punted out of europe aswell.  maybe im just an ict fan eh  :006: shocker

If I was a nazi, why sure I would, rather than joining the Glasgow nazi shop. But I'm not a nazi.

If you'd lived on Ibrox road, or whatever it's called, since the day you were born, I'm pretty sure you'd support Rangers. It would be your local team. Unless of course you didn't like football!

Don't get me wrong - I hate Celtic and Rangers too. But you've got to accept that even they have got genuine football supporters.
