Re: The Scottish Football Thread
Found this on Youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...X8auU1OA#t=875 "Rivals Rangers and Celtic" It's an expose documentary filmed late 2011 / early 2012. Some of the stuff is embarrassing, cringe worthy and shameful. As a Rangers fan I'm simply disgusted by some of the stuff that appears in the documentary from both halves of the divide. If this how the rest of the UK views Rangers and Celtic fans? |

Do the top Scottish teams need to be in the English Premiership and should we not call it the British Premiership as we already have two Welsh teams in the English Premiership.
What are your views: |
Re: The Scottish Football Thread
Personally l would like some Scottish sides to be in the English leagues but on the caveat that they have to start from the bottom division as anything else would be unfair to the teams who are already in the English leagues.

The penalty was a shocking decision. Even so I suspect Celtic would have had enough to take 3 points without Willie Colum helping. I think that Celtic are playing with more consistency than last season. That's 3 difficult away fixtures that Celtic have had already this year, Aberdeen, Dundee Utd and the Jambos, and we've got 9 points. At the start of last season we'd already dropped points to Hibs, Ross County and St Johnstone. |

Always thought 3rd at best and more confident we'll get it after tonight. Pukki, Boerrigter, Biton all to come in etc. no doubt the usual I hate Celtic posters will be along but hey we're there we're competing and we love it :D

SFA. Welcome tae Scotland,the bigotfest continues. ---------- Post added at 19:18 ---------- Previous post was at 19:12 ---------- http://www.liveedinburghnews.org/201...t-by-missiles/ Neil Lennon forced to leave Tynecastle after being hit by missiles Posted by news@liveedinburghnews.com on 02/01/2014 Celtic boss Neil Lennon has had to leave Tynecastle Stadium early after fans began throwing coins and spitting on him. Lennon was along watching the semi-final between Aberdeen and St Johnstone when the incident took place. This is the second time that he has been targeted at Tynecastle, he was attacked in May 2011 when Celtic played Hearts. One witness said “It disgusting, the guy was just along to watch the game and gets targeted by so called football fans. This should not happen in this day and age, I was at the game for the duration and didn’t even know he was there until this started” |

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
Why should Celtic or Rangers for that matter, if given the ok to play in English football. Why the hell should they go straight into the EPL, clubs in the lower division try hard each season to get out of their league to get into the PL.
If they want to play in English football then they should start right at the bottom and that is the Conference. Not only that, they wouldnt last five minutes in the PL, its much faster than Scottish football. Several years ago we had a The London Cup with Celtic, and there fans were appalling, l went to that game, and all they sang throughout the game was anti English songs and were banned from all the pubs round Wembley, l was there. And Celtic fans are a disgrace - they played Brentford at pre season and smashed the place up - and no papers reported it. Check Youtube its on there. If Scottish football is in dire financial trouble, then merge it with the English League NOT PL. And as for Neil Lennon, he is the biggest troublemaker going - l like Celtic, but not while he is manager. |
Re: The Scottish Football Thread
Quote:
Also Lennon is not a trouble maker at all. He took some abuse at the weekend when he was just there to watch the game. People to target him and cause trouble but he is not the troublemaker at all Arthur! |
Re: The Scottish Football Thread
Quote:
As for your attack on Neil Lennon,well tbh I'm not in the least bit surprised at all,here's a wee reminder of what you seemed to have missed. Would any other manager in the world let alone England get the amount of abuse he gets,the answer is of course not. =============================== September 2003 – Mr Lennon is subject to an unprovoked assault by two Glasgow University students. As well as hurling abuse towards the Celtic player, they chase his car down the street, before spitting at him and physically assaulting him. Both are fined for their actions. April 2004 – Mr Lennon, who has a twelve year old child in the car with him, is chased along Glasgow’s M8 Motorway by a man shouting abuse and making offensive gestures. The perpetrator also drives erratically, cutting Mr Lennon off and causing notable alarm not only to himself, but also to his young passenger. The perpetrator is fined. September 2008 – Mr Lennon is the target of a brutal, unprovoked attack in Glasgow’s West End – after being subjected to a barrage of sectarian abuse, he is knocked unconscious by two men, who left him lying in the street in the early hours of the morning. A friend, who witnessed the incident, said Mr Lennon was “jumped from behind, hit on the head and knocked unconscious”. Mr Lennon was subsequently treated for concussion in a Glasgow hospital. The two men involved are jailed. January 2011 – Mr Lennon is one of three employees of Celtic Football Club to be sent bullets in the post. These were intercepted before they reached the Celtic manager, but the meaning behind them was clear. March 2011 – A parcel bomb addressed to Mr Lennon is intercepted before it reaches the Celtic manager. Other such parcels are sent to prominent Celtic supporters the late Paul McBride Q.C. and Trish Godman M.S.P., as well as the premises of Cairde na hEireann on Glasgow’s Gallowgate. The two men involved in the parcel bomb plot believed “they were capable of exploding and causing injury”, and are jailed for their actions. May 2011 – Mr Lennon is “attacked” on the touchline at Tynecastle by a Hearts supporter, moments after a Celtic goal. This incident is seen by over sixteen thousand people in attendance at the match, as well as countless more watching on live television. Subsequently, the offender is found guilty of breach of the peace, but the charge of assault is, to everyone’s astonishment, returned by a Scottish jury as “not proven”. On BBC Radio 5 Live, only seconds after the incident, one commentator asks “Is there any end to what happens to Neil Lennon?” March 2012 – A man is jailed for posting a picture of Mr Lennon covered from head to toe in bullet wounds on the internet. February 2014 – Mr Lennon has missiles, included coins and spit, hurled his way as he watches a League Cup match at Tynecastle. He is forced to leave the game. |
Re: The Scottish Football Thread
Jimi, I am a big fan of Celtic, but simply do not like Lennon. Rather than disown fans who bring trouble to a great club, he would rather stand back and cause trouble himself.
Such as the incidernt caught on Tv canera, when he went for the oppositon manager. Wht the hell did he do that. Its odbvious you havent watched the Youtube clips of Celtic fans or even Rangers fans for that matter causing aggro. I went to a testimonial match between Celtic and Arsenal match many years ago and the behaviour was brilliant. Why, cant they be like that all the time. My wife's family are all Celtic supporters. So there is no bias from me. But on the point. Of which you have made a strong support for Lennon. Nothing about there playing in the EPL. |

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
"This has to be said about Rangers, as a Scottish Football club they are a permanent embarrassment and an occasional disgrace. This country would be a better place if Rangers did not exist."
Ian Archer (journalist, 1970s), for full article see: link "The incessant bigoted chanting by Rangers fans at Hampden was shocking. Unarguably the most socially-backward fans in British football. The really damaging thing for RFC is, it’s not the mythical ‘small minority’. There appear to be 1000s upon 1000s singing these songs." Graham Spiers (Journalist) on his Twitter feed commenting on the Huns in their league cup final appearance (March 2011) Brian Clough: "What team did you say you support again?" Man in the studio audience: "RANGERS!" Brian Clough: "That's not a football team! That's a gang of villains." The irrepressible Brian Clough on "Sport in Question"......

"The Scots realized that they would not be able to eliminate Malmö from the Champions League fairly. Therefore they resorted to intimidating, kicking and fighting them. It was pathetic. "Edu should have been sent off having been well warned. McCulloch's yellow card when he kicked Durmaz from behind should have been a red - Durmaz should have been red carded when he retaliated, but wasn't even warned - and when Majid Bougherra assaulted Dardan Rexhepi leaving him almost unconscious, the sending off was indisputable. "This was how Rangers acted. "Their fans were banned from European matches. Their team should also be." Mattias Larsson (following Rangers defeat to Malmo in Aug 2011; fromwww.expressen.se, source: http://www.expressen.se/sport/1.2517...akla.-rattvist) "Rangers are a big club but unfortunately they are behaving like a little one."

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
And your posts are the reason I stopped getting involved in Celtic/Rangers discussions - hate, bile, vituperative posts which are all just as bad as each other, no matter which side is posting.
The hate feeds on itself, and provides justification for continuing those sort of behaviours. This is not that sort of forum, so I would be grateful if you stopped posting this sort of rant and bile. |
Re: The Scottish Football Thread
This thread is getting like the comments section of the Daily Record and Scottish Sun whenever a story is published about either Rangers or Celtic. Fans from both sides of the divide fueling never ending tit for tat arguments. I don't know where people get the time and energy to keep up the relentless campaign of "my teams better than your team". In the grand scheme of things its all just petty and pointless. Much better things to spend time on in life ahead of football and getting so worked up about rival football clubs.
