its quite incredible how rangers fans can get so raging with such manifestly shite penalties for getting back into the top table debt free. Goes to show how shitty this country is...

thats the general tone that seems to come accross from posts by many celtic fans on here in the context of rangers going tits up. your day will come.

the point i was trying to make was there is no substantial basis of those claims. its all just marketing, in the same sense as being a pink fan does not constitute 'punk as f**k'

does anybody else find the whole celtic fan trying to cuddle up with the diddy team fan as cringeworthy?

you've got to hand it to celtics exempler marketing department over the years. ie. where can have the same expereinces as a small team supporter whereby they are a perennial underdog in an unfair system but without that actually having to be the case, and thus the good guy winning from time to time. somewhat akin to listening to pink and thinking you are a rebel for it...

i dont think such a supposition to be based on prejudice. its probably just based on years of experience from living in scottish society whereby any celtic fan one comes across is concerned with two results. their own, and rangers result. i would be interested to see how celtic would go about conducting themselves in a post rangers age. I know lawell says that they make their financial projections without having the gers in the mix, but i think that was just a piece of populist rhetoric to keep celtic peeps happy, but surely fans interest will take a significant knock when the worlds greatest rivarly no longer exists. IF that be the case, id be interested to know how much of celitcs overheads are based on the standard old firm formula, ie how much of their squad is on long contracts? How much does it cost to run the entirety of the plcs costs? What level would the fanbase need to drop before it becomes problematic to sustain their ongoing costs??

sorry im a bit thick... would ticketus be injecting money into rangers so that they can ensure that they get their ticket money honoured?

it will be interesting to see how celtic can restructure themselves in the context of a non rangers or diminished era rangers. how many of their top earners are on long term contracts??

fair enough. just hate the smarmy p***k though. hes just derek johnstone with a thesaurus

yeah and f**k his magmanimous "i've been critical of rangers for years but don't want their demise" tone!

haha, see above post!

right about the pleasure part, but certainly not right regarding who its led by. just typical pish where everything has to be viewed from an old firm lense. not like diddy fans could find their own reasons for hating on the gers...

did anybody see that dickwad speirs on the telly saying that there was a certain pleasure in scotland about rangers demise and that it was led by celtic fans"?
