So, why are they are gutted about his departure?
They’re shite in Europe because their player budget is crap on the European stage, leaving them with players who are poor at that level. Plus it must be hindrance being flat track bullies every week against mainly weak opposition.
Friends stayed in Rhodes, where Celtic fans there were openly looking to “Whack the English”. Dispelling the falsehood that only Gers fans like trouble.
When the anti Scouse NSC binfests arise (every fortnight since the Albion became “big time”), I sometimes mention alternative parts of the country where I personally have come across tossers. In holidays over the years, I’ve come across a load of Cockney and Manc scum. The sort always looking...
This. “We’re now going over to Roddy Forsyth at Celtic Park where failed English striker has made it 6-0.”
Apart from a few Scots and Irish living in England, who gives a feck.
Good post. Funnily enough, completely the opposite experience for us. We’ve met so many miserable Evertonians, including taxi drivers in Brighton and Liverpool. Last August during our Albion trip there, the Evertonian cabbie was a grumpy sod. Normally I love a chat.
Even Italy is a joke now with the self perpetutating cycle of Juve having vast finances.
Bayern hauling Dortmund in, about to overtake, for yet another title.
We’re ‘lucky’ to have at least Chelsea/Citeh/ManUre sharing out the title.
Because Rangers stopped Celtic doing it in the past when they both had strong squads, and vice versa, with the old Aberbeen etc to ruin it.
Once Rangers went bust, it would’ve been incredible If a Celtic hadn’t won everything for many years to come. Squad cost and wages dwarfing everybody...
The Liverpool sectarian divide in clubs died an incredibly long time ago. When last discussed on NSC, a brilliant academic article was linked that gave the history. Scouse families have contained both EFC and LFC supporters for as far back as can be remembered.
Whereas the Hibs-Hearts...
Respectfully, I won’t bother. I’ve spent masses of time in Scotland in the last 30 years, been to loads of games and stadia, mets many lovely people. Even before the internet, the nastiness was the same.
The bigots on both sides will typing in away in Belfast, Londonderry, Cork, Dublin...
Thank you so much El Pres for pointing out that there are sectariarn bellends on both sides. So often when Celtic are mentioned on NSC, some touchy posters with a secret love for the Parkhead club, try to make out that sectarianism is a purely Rangers/Proddy thing. I’d rather trust your...
Agree with 3.
The triple treble was near impossible because until Rangers went bust, Scotland had always had 2 or more firecely competitive clubs.
The false environment since makes every pointless record feasible. Yet will be celebrated as if they’re world beaters.
I can’t blame BR for wanting to give the PL another go. Far better football, players, opponents, and a manager need a serious plan (beyond having a far, far better squad) to win.
We shouldn’t be tied to hyperbolic comments made in the past, so ungrateful Celtic fans get over it.
