TommyLeePwns Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Found this on my travels over the fence. ^ Crazy to think a mug of coffee is what wins you leagues and not say, sports science, training , coaches and work ethic. Painful stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 See what I mean about Aberdeen fans being absolutely desperate to prove that this is a derby? Some patronising PR stuff from our manager and captain about how "it's such a big game, big atmosphere, won't take anything for granted" and they think it means something special to us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the A'deen fans on here. Dons_1888, The Red Merkin, JacksSashmyGrandsonWore and KinkerJoey are all good sorts. Even DeepSleep_62 and Help_ma_tiny_boaby can be good value when it comes to riling our big pals from Glasgow's east end. But then we have this: 17 minutes ago, tarapoa said: Better use of bedsheets than last week.............though being picky, perhaps epidemic is a better word for it. The only times they truly come alive is when we sign one of their players yet it doesn't work the other way round. That's yer apotheosis of a one-way rivalry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could similarly say you're absolutely desperate to claim it's not a rivalry. Be honest, this is as much of a pissing contest as the 'who's a bigger club?' debate that take place all over football and is a completely subjective debate in the context of Celtic v Rangers, Aberdeen v Hearts v Hibs or any other similar sized clubs competing. The good people of Aberdeen dislike everything Rangers stand for and are happy to let you know every time you visit. Judging by your fans regular behaviour at Pittodrie you respond in kind. If it gives you comfort for it not to be labelled a rivalry then more power to you. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I think this is more to do with ill will between the fans rather than any “who’s a bigger club” debate or competitive rivalry between the teams. My disliking of Aberdeen stems from the behaviour of the Aberdeen fans when I’m attending matches, rather than anything Aberdeen as a team do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could argue for days about what constitutes a rivalry or who’s a bigger club, ultimately it means very little. Any rangers fan shouting that there’s no rivalry is as pointless as any Aberdeen fan claiming we’re massive rivals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANTAN Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I've got an unexpected day off from work tomorrow so I'm unashamedly drunkenly watching Rangers videos on YouTube.. Watching this one for this first time. Decent video, cool graphics overall but I'm flabbergasted at the part where he says that "at best" Rangers titles at this period are "tainted"... I know it's an argument that has been done to death on here and in the BRALT but the idea that our starting 11 that bested all the other leagues competitors after a season did so because of the company paying less tax is so wild to me. I know regular people don't think like this so it was strange for me to see a seemingly neutral spectator putting this point across. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 The fact that a neutral onlooker has stated that should maybe give you pause for thought, m8. Also: "company" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Rangers won trophies by spending money creatively enough that they didn't pay all of the outgoings they should have, and they were still in financial difficulty for it as a result before Whyte turned up Is that fair? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMCs Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) The Bournemouth manager Tindall has been quoted about Simpson and Ofoborh recently and sounds like they will both be here this month. Edmondson out on loan this window then? https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/19040939.tindall-says-simpson-made-mind-up-rangers-move/ Edited January 27, 2021 by DMCs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without judging rangers as guilty or not guilty of tax fraud, it’s ‘so wild’ to you that people see potential tax fraud increasing your football budget as an unfair advantage? Think you need to take a step back from that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The affordability is obviously something rival fans will look to but that doesn't take away what happened on the pitch. The rest is a boring argument that's been done to death on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean you have free reign to assemble that team on the pitch in any manner you want and separate it from the success it earns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it warrants describing the titles as tainted and never in my life have I seen someone suggest so other than celtc fans and some angry posters on here. It surprised me to hear, anyway you can quote me in the BRALT if you're that fussed, I dont wanna kill the Rangers thread, we have a big game tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
