I have tried to hold my tongue when it has come to the beautiful game in this country. I try not to get into the usual keech that surrounds Rangers and Celtic games with stupid statements of 'blind faith' we'll win by four or five etc., - dafties do my nut in from either side. Last night's result at Parkhead was not unexpected but surprising nevertheless as I thought that Celtic would have enough in store to beat the Ruskies. However, tonights results from Aberdeen and the defeat of Motherwell beggars the question - at what level are we expected to compete thesedays. Admitedly the three clubs representing us have had bad results and the Aberdeen result is an absolute shocker...although as a Rangers supporter I can't say that I am bitterly disappointed. However, as a fitba fan I am concerned at the result and what it will do to Scots football in general and I am also concerned as to what level our game will sink to before we wake up to what is happening to our game. We dont produce the players we used to due to a variety of reasons , we lack leadership at the highest level and our two strongest teams who used to be feared throughout Europe are now a mere shadow of what they used to be...so where did it all go wrong.

A British League consisting of Celtic and Rangers and 20 English teams...as there are no other teams in Scotland who could hope to compete in such a League. A British League is the dream of the Old Firm whilst the major teams in England would rather be in a European League which I doubt if either half of the Old Firm would be welcomed to join.

I am convinced that Rangers and Celtic will play in the English Premiership and the prime mover will be Sky . !.
The credit crunch could be the catalyst .
Hull V Wigan would not attract many TV viewers but Rangers V Hull or Celtic V Wigan will sell all over the world.
Only a matter of time IMO !

Was that no' feckin embarrasing last night in Norway...I said as soon as Caldwell git his first booking that he would be sent off as you can read his game like an open book and Big Karoo gave him the run around and it was obvious he was going to resort to his usual pulling and mauling style of play only this time we had a referee who wasn't afraid to book him and send him off - do you need the name of a good glazier ref.

What has happened to the days when you could go into a bar and talk fitba wi' REAL Celtic Supporters. Generally they were Scots by birth and Catholic...nowadays we are surrounded by Plastic Paddies who are normally tenth generation Weegies whose only link with the 'land beyond the sea' is they drink in Bairds or any other of those 'weekend republican' bars in the Gallowgate, And then we have the other wans that yer Maw always told ye about that special species 'the Dyke Dreeper'...we all know them . Generally a Protestant that supports ' ra Shellick' abd gives you the usual keech I support my local team...truth be told they never supported the Shellick until they done away wi' the caurs in 1962 and then they started to support their local team circa 1965 when Big Jock Knew came on the scene and the rest they say is history.

That my dear Patrick is a matter of opinion and your choise...and that is the downside of democracy some people just don't know how to use it. Naw I prefer good old fashioned Glesga born Catholic Shellick supporters anytime when it comes to 'chewin the fat' and a wee bit of craic when it comes to fitba...at least ye know where you stand wi' them. ;D The Benjamin Franklin Parkhead Loyal RSC.

what's wrong with being a pro--test--tant, and supporting celtic, believe it or not charlie, I wasn't brought up to hate anybody times were much to hard for that nonsence, we wondered were our next meal was going to come from, not who won at parkhead, or ibrox, my mum walked out on my dad and he brought us up, he was a protestant, and she was a catholic so I couldn't hate one or the other.

I just don't feel comfortable with Prods who support Celtic as you never know when they will turn their coat again...plus converts are always worse than the real thing. My father was a Catholic and I am glad my Maw walked out on him once she came to her senses when I was 10 months old. ;D

It seems to me that the very mention of the word Catholic offends people thesedays...remeber Anne I once withdrew the Big Jock Knew topic from here at your request...and I still ask myself why did I do it as child abuse is a serious allegation and should be discussed in order to draw people's attention to the fact that it actually happens. My whole point being re me and Patrick's wee clash is this...it is generally recognised that if you are a Catholic you will support Celtic in this city and if you are a Proddy you support Rangers that is the way it is and if you are a Proddy/Catholic you don't support the other side...and if you do then you are considered by the majority of either side to be a 'Dyke-Dreeper' or a bit of a freak. Patrick being a Protestant and a Celtic supporter and my wife a Catholic an ex-St.Roch's pupil and a rabid Rangers supporter being the perfect example. ;D Unfortunately Anne I only write and read history I do not make it and as for crossing a line and being offencesive...what you see is what you get on this board and in the words of the song 'You ain't see nothing yet'. ;D There is nothing 'meally-mouthed' about the Keelies and we do not make out that we are something that we urnae. I am sure if you search other boards on the web you will find people who will take your money and pretend that they are in total agreement with you and your religion to your face. You have been in my company several times and I ask you to tell me where and when your religion was ever an issue...it is never an issue in my company unless you raise it.

in the semi-final of the junior cup 1923-24 season, parkhead juniors, met bridgeton waverley, at celtic park, in front of 11,500 supporter,s, parkhead won that day, and went on to lift the cup, taking into account the scottish cup final was also being played at hampden park, the same day that was a great crowd for a junior cup game. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4b/Parkhead_ticket.jpg

God help me..." www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-L3JMk7C1ACharlie just because your father was a baddie doesn't make all catholics the same My first ever encounter with an orangeman was our neighbour in Dunskaith Street in Easterhouse. His house was decorated in red, white and blue and had photos of King Billy everywhere He was an aggresive drunk who beat up his wife and locked his four children in a house with a huge dog guarding them. The dog was always treated better than his kids. On more than one occasion I witnessed the kids being beaten with the heavy dog lead. I was about 9 or 10 and too frightened to tell my dad in case he did it to me (the neighbour, not my dad). This experience doesn't mean I think all orangemen are like him. What I was getting at is it is becoming pretty tiresome with the same old insults "mhanks,septic,the great unwashed" and the rest of the follow follow type rubbish that comes out. Why can't you just support your own team without spouting the same old bile about your rivals As for the "Big Jock Knew" situation, I appreciate this being removed but in no way does this mean I condone child abuse. This is just another slur being used by many Ranger's supporters to blacken the name of a great man who also happened to be a Celtic manager. How does the chanting of his name by your fellow supporters at Ibrox or other grounds help stop child abuse?? It doesn't, it is purely sung to stir up trouble I don't know what you mean by : I am sure if you search other boards on the web you will find people who will take your money and pretend that they are in total agreement with you and your religion to your face I have no intention of being offensive to non catholics, I never have and won't be starting now. Contrary to popular belief this hatred is not taught in Catholic schools I'm not falling out with you or anyone, I'm not being "PC" I'm just saying that the constant insults are not "banter" and that Celtic fans and Catholics (even non practising) have feelings too And finally.......... I love that Monty Python film and have the DVD, that is my favourite scene ;D

My uncle Jockie was a an Orangeman and never missed the Big Walk either here or in Belfast and he was a mad Celtic Supporter. I used to go down to his house in Bernard Street to go for his messages every Saturday morning when I was at school and then he would give me the money to go to Ibrox or wherever the Gers were playing. One year he bought me a Rangers scarf as a present and I still have it after all these years so it must be at least 40 odd years old. He used to have a massive painting of King Billy on his kitchen wall which was his pride and joy and next to the painting was a wee Celtic rosette. One year his house was burgled and they stole the King Billy painting of the wall and left the Celtic rosette and you should've heard what he called those 'durty shower of thieving Orange Basras'. ;D I could never fathom him out and always thought of him being a bit of an eccentric...he also loved Scotland and was always going to Hampden or Wembley to see them and he went to Germany for the 1974 World Cup.

Considering the team we had out we done reasonably well...though to be honest I cannot see them improving much even when the so called 'big guns' comeback from injury. How did Fletcher not get on the end of that ball when he only had the goalie to beat...aye and Burley said that Kris Boyd wasn't capable of playing the lone striker role - if that is the case who the feck is in a Scotland jersey.
