VeraNT Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Well I suppose congratulations are due to the Huns convincingly beating Werder Bremen tonight. The only British team to win from the four playing in the UEFA cup games. I'm sure that will cheer up the grouplet on JKB that proudly show their Chelsea avatars and seem to have a soft spot for the Huns. But how can we cheer up John F, with this type of situation. Well you have to look at the relative merits of the Huns victory. Comparing the Huns recent scores against Hearts and Bremen, we could assume we are twice as bad as Bremen. In Silicon Valley, we would prefer to say "half as good". Twice as bad or half as good, are sort of the same thing on JKB. So Bremen are 2nd in the German league and being half as good as them, we would humbly accept half of their current points total. That would place us at a nose above the relegation zone in the Bundesliga. Hmm, not so good. Another way to look at it, in a more upbeat mode, would be to consider that Bremen are 4 places and 8 points above Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga. Now Schalke just qualified for the last 8 in the CL. So we could also assume on a sliding logarithmic scale, that we are half as good as Schalke. That would put us in the last 16 in the CL. Which is better than the Huns managed and therfore makes us, in relative terms, better than Rangers and at least as good as Celtic. Don't need to thank me for cheering you up John.

Charlie-Brown Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 It's hard to separate Rangers (& Celtic's) teams from their horrible fans and having long despised the hordes who invaded Gorgie since first encountering them in the seventies and eighties and when they didn't think twice to punch, kick or spit on a young 'Charlie Brown' on various ocassions just because he wore a maroon & white scarf has never lead me to think well of them........

I would say Celtic fans were worse - doesn't make me a regular visitor to Ibrox and I've had my fair share of encounters with fans of both Rangers and Celtic.

I've lived in Glasgow since 1996 and am a season ticket holder at Tynie (section T) and have known and do know plenty of both of the Bigot brothers fans. Most of the Celtic fans i know though are guys who go to the games and like their football. Most Rangers fans I know have never been to a game in their lives but are the most arrogant and bigotted people i've ever met when football is mentioned.

VeraNT Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 This was meant to be a thread that conclusively proved that we were better than both the Huns and the Soapdodgers, realtively speaking, on the park. As usual, you bunch of neanderthals, including a few smart guys like topcat and charles, have dragged this down to the level of relative hatred of OF supporters. So I can sort that out as well. In the 60's when I had to put on a hard-as-nails pose and stand and guard 167 Gorgie Road, with my auld-man, against Huns and Sopadodgers coming in to **** in our stair - kept a tally. For both the OF visits to Gorgie in the 66-67 season (the summer of love), Huns attempted to beat the security and **** in the stair 23 times, the Soapdodgers attemped 47 times. Nobody passed of course. It was like walls of dead Orcs in the Lord of the Rings. Anyway this conclusively proves that 1 - Soapdodgers drank more than Huns 2 - had smaller bladders than Huns 3 - were stupider than Huns, fear factor and mixed up on how to get into Tynie, confused the stair door with main entrance opposite So in my book Huns were less vile than Soapdodgers. Hope that clears things up. Of course. Me and my mates always made a point of ****ing in stairs as close to Hunbrox and Darkheid as possible, when the Hearts went West.

shaun.lawson Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 A remarkable result for Rangers tonight. Werder Bremen are a very decent side: dark horses to win this competition, I thought - yet Rangers now have every chance of going through. Say what you like about them, their style of play or whatever, but Walter Smith, having inherited a total shambles just over a year ago, has guided them past Red Star Belgrade, to 3rd spot in the CL group stages despite being bottom seeds, to the defeat of Panathinaikos, and now, in all likelihood, Bremen as well. They're also top of the league, ahead of a Celtic squad with much more quality at its disposal, and still in both domestic Cups too. He's done a quite brilliant job there. However, I must admit to holding very different views of Rangers FC as a whole. When I was growing up, they were utterly dominant, and seemed set to remain so for as long as anyone could see. As a result, I felt pretty sorry for Celtic at times, and certainly wasn't averse to things changing, which they at long last did. But more generally, what really got my goat about Rangers was that their whole club seemed to be founded upon a negative: hating and saying 'no!' to something. In politics, I always have an issue with right-wing parties who seek to make people afraid instead of calmly explaining the facts and dealing with the roots of a particular issue - and if you ask me, that sense of fear and loathing is more present within Rangers than any other football club in Britain. Don't get me wrong: I totally understand why so many people loathe Celtic. But their long-term future is much brighter than that of their rivals, because the political changes of the last decade or so will enable them to focus on positives: the Irish diaspora, for example, and edge away bit by bit from the past. But where exactly Rangers go, I have absolutely no idea. In around 25 to 30 years' time, there will be more Catholics living in Ulster than Protestants: meaning, logically, a united Ireland coming into being at some point. And what do Rangers do then? How will they be able to justify something which will have ceased to be defensible in a democratic society allowing its people self-determination? Before the season began, I tipped Rangers to win the title, and had a small wager with a Celtic-supporting friend. Why? Because Rangers had to win it this year. Murray is looking to sell the club - but the trouble is, the very things it continues to represent make it incredibly unattractive to possible buyers in a world where even Ian Paisley ended up sitting down and doing business with Sinn Fein. At the very least, Murray desperately needed to restore some credibility by regaining the league flag and getting the club back into the CL: hence their way over budget expenditure of last summer. It paid off, and all credit to him and his club for what they've achieved since - but the long-term issue remains, and is as intractable as ever. I can have no truck at all with a club which, in my view, is entirely predicated on hate; and to be honest, cannot for the life of me see how any new owner will ever be able to take them in a different direction. So yes, I do prefer Celtic to them, and don't see them as two halves of the same coin. Rangers, if you ask me, are Scotland's version of Millwall: and how can anyone have any time for that?
