Been a fairly entertaining game so far, as usual it looks like its only one misstimed challenge away from boiling over
The Old Firm Derby
- Thread starter evra
- Start date
The footballs never really that good, mid-lower table premier league stuff
It is poor, but that's mainly due to the gale force winds.
All 22 are trying their best tbf
lolz.
There does seem to be a lot of litter all over the place though.
Very entertaining game so far! Players are doing well in the conditions. Btw it's 1-0 to Celtic!!
super header from ledley from the corner.
nice one

Had a massive 2euro on Ledley to score tonight @10/1!
fecking hell, that's a great sight and noise. You cant get that anywhere in England.
€20 will get you a few pints anyway
They had to ruin it with the gay poznan
Just said the same. I'd give my right arm for OT to be like that.
Great atmosphere I have to say.
They had to ruin it with the gay poznan
would you like the poznan if it was us doing it instead of city?
I think it looks great
Nah, it looks stupid, completely stupid. It's too "Oh look at us turning around, we're so cool", "No, you look like cnuts". And it's not as if it's city's, they stole it.
The bouncing to 'I Just Cant Get Enough' (which Liverpool do) is much better.
Which one is that?
I meant how did the Liverpool supporters celebrate?
Do rangers ever win this fixture?
In a word, yes.
Overturning a 15 point gap, how have Rangers managed to feck up a divide that big?
Rangers are pure shit.
If you're not Scottish, why the hell would you watch these two horrible teams?
As is the league they play in.
What a turn around for Celtic. 17 points.
Because it is a match which decides who goes top of a major European league. It is also inevitably an extremely interesting, high tempo match with a lot of hard tackling, an unbeatable atmosphere which cannot be equaled anywhere in England and usually a few decent goals.

If you say so ..... pile of shit in front of plastic fans.
Poor standard of football but SPL is an easy target for criticism.
Football is dictated by one thing only and that's finance, simple thing is in the grand scale of modern European football the SPL is at it's natural level in terms of the size of the country and finance generated by the league. There's little they can do about it, their drop-off since the glory days is no different (relatively) to clubs like Ajax, Benfica, Red Star Belgrade, Steaua Bucharest etc. Big clubs in small leagues can't compete and unlike the Portuguese and Dutch clubs it's not even possible for the Old Firm to box clever transfer wise because of work permits.

Well, it was only 15 points for less than a day, and Celtic had two games in hand at that point...still, a monumental feckup from that lot. They looked really short of confidence all game.
Old firm fans can be a lot of things, but I think plastic is rarely one of them.
Did anyone else see the ref point to the spot during the offside at the end? sure he did!
A lot of the time Celtic fans come dressed as empty green seats when they're not playing Rangers. Make of that what you will. Or maybe they're just doing "the city", you know like "the poznan" but with empty seats and with man city.
I was unimpressed with the Celtic fans when we played them at Parkhead - lots of noisy set pieces 'ooh look at me' before KO but quiet as mice when the game started in terms of supporting their team
Geez Rangers were crap, and so many stupid decisions. You're not supposed to make 500 freekicks when you're trying to come back from a goal behind. Not that they ever looked like being in a rush.
Fair point, but when it is Rangers those feelings run pretty deep, and I think that's attributable to more than just plastic fans.

Youre taking the piss
It was a lot more entertaining contest than watching Man Utd put 5 past 10 men.
Not filling a 60k stadium against Dundee and Aberdeen doesn't make them plastic. Celtic have the 12th highest average attendances in the whole of Europe - ahead of Ajax, Newcastle and most of the Bundesliga sides, a league known for its great attendances.
They play St Mirren up to 7 times a season. Look how we filled our stadium against Palace.
Well done Celtic..17 point turnaround is not to be sniffed at in any league!
