Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I think we can all agree the term Old Firm should only be used to annoy Celtic fans. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also wild how desperate some Celtic fans are to get rid of the old firm tag. I know most are just on the wind up but watching Hartson go round in circles the other day explaining about how he says Celtic-Rangers rather than the Old Firm now because "he is Celtic" is almost as mental as anything Rangers do clinging onto the old firm thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AYRSHIRE_ANGUS Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I have ex workmate Celtic fans that accuse me of bias because I use the description "Rangers and Celtic" instead of "Celtic and Rangers". As they don't like "The Old Firm" either I try and keep a running balance of both terms in their company to ensure a roughly 50-50 split for the sake of harmony. They'll happily patronise me about my club however, many times. Luckily as I'm no longer in Glasgow I only see them for a beer about once a year these days. It would be too tiring otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic quietly stopped using the phrase about a decade ago, and it’s cause heads to explode It’s pretty funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get me wrong, the wind up is funny and clearly working. But I have Celtic supporting mates and clowns like Hartson are serious in their "no such thing as the old firm" stance which is just weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sceptical at the time when they renewed it but ultimately it has caused the orc board to have the most bizarre of meltdowns and also now miss out on millions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll always get people who take some things too seriously I just hope Celtic keep doing what they’re doing, or not doing in this case If they start plastering the stadium with “Glasgow Derby” everywhere, handing out flags, I’d be cringing at that mind you. Id genuinely surprised at how seething this has gotten them, over something that really isn’t a big deal Similar with Tom English for reasons I can’t explain 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but unless either are using it themselves it needs the permission of both to use it for promotional purposes for another party. We obviously said no in regards to the Australian tour which is why this meltdown ensued. Edited April 5, 2022 by gannonball 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I believe so Im far from an expect but what I’ve heard is so other people can’t profile it off the phrase. Im assuming it’s similar to the Cleveland Indians in baseball dropping Chief Wahoo mascot, but they’re still keeping the trademark and rights to it to stop people profiting from unauthorised merchandise 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone is saying we are playing a ‘blinder’. Celtic are within their rights to refuse the use of it and Rangers have inexplicably lost their shit over it to levels I don’t anyone could predict. It’s more self destruct than anything else by their board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad claimed my friend from Belfast with an Irish name, who worked at an Irish bar in Glasgow, must be a Rangers fan cause he heard her say Rangers and Celtic instead of Celtic and Rangers.

Sunday was cringe, but anyone genuinely believing that not using the term is the reason for Rangers pulling out of the Aussie friendly is wishful thinking, IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
