Was that their 'Best of...'? Must check it out.

All true, and despite some of the very vocal Celtic and Rangers fans' best attempts it's on the wane at Old Firm games too.

You might be right, I'm pretty certain we'll never know for sure, for the reasons already stated. Mind you, it'd be a dull old footballing world if we all took off our tinted shades wouldn't it?

Fair enough chap, I probably shouldn't have come straight here after fending off some particularly vile people on Twitter on the same subject. I'll stick the kettle on now and chill the **** out.

They may not be, but I'd wager Celtic in particular have a far greater potential global appeal than clubs like Newcastle or Villa if they were inducted to the EPL.

Used to get a fair bit at Liverpool v Everton, probably not so much these days. I'm not denying it's on a different level, and that the sectarianism is a blight on their clubs, but it doesn't define them and is all too often used as a stick to beat Scottish fans as a whole with, which is grossly...

Ok old chap, I'll accept a charge of slight overreaction. I'm certainly not spoiling for a fight, though I do look good in makeup. Take this next bit how you want, but it may or may not be of interest to you in understanding how some people feel about the terminology used, it's from one of many...

Oh, ok petal. And yes, your sneering and arrogant posts on this thread have all the hallmarks of CASUAL racism towards the Scottish that I hear way too often.

I think you'll find you've just made it. What's your point, other than showing off a spot of casual anti-Celt racism? Do you not get the irony of banging on about 'filthy sectarianism' in the same breath as 'Scotch goons'?

It's quite simple really, if either or both were playing in the EPL the revenue they would generate would give them the finances to buy some of the best players in the world and they would very soon be on a par with the biggest clubs in England in spending power, ticket sales for every game...

Spot on. For the record, my beef isn't with Rogers' decision, it makes a lot of sense, but with the general attitude of the OP, echoed here by quite a few it seems.

Yeah, because we don't get that kind of thing from English clubs do we? (admittedly on a smaller scale when it comes to sectarianism).

The post I was replying to was arrogant in my opinion, and it's an arrogant attitude I hear a lot when people talk about Celtic and Rangers, thinking they'd be playing in the Championship if they were down here, utter nonsense. The EPL has only become what it has because of the obscene amounts...

Seriously, do you honestly think the EPL chairmen, especially those outside the Top 6, were more worried about a couple of games where it might kick off than losing a chunk of money and having effectively two less places up for grabs in the EPL between them?

If you genuinely believe that was the main reason I respectfully think you are deluded.

I think your post is symptomatic of the arrogance, and let's face it, cosy English superiority complex that pervades a fair few football fans this side of the border. The inconvenient truth many ignore is that if Celtic and Rangers played in England, with the revenue they would generate, even...

It was absolutely cringe-inducing throughout with a smattering of genuinely very funny moments, what's more Partridge than that? Each incarnation of Partridge has been subtly different, and that takes some doing over this amount of time.

I'm inclined to agree with this.

Saturday 3pm k/o relegation six-pointer, what's not to like?

Agree with the main issue being the lack of pace when we start Stephens, Gross and Murray, we look so pedestrian at this level the opposition just run rings round us through the middle like Leicester did for the first 10 minutes last night. The fact that we had to revert to a more defensive...
