Which Caley fans were dead set against, and only happened because Norman Miller gave away a ton of free memberships to people in exchange for them voting for the merger. The match going Caley fans basically had their club stolen from them. It was criminal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought Caley fans were more Rangers minded? Seem to remember seeing a Union Jack at a couple of games in recent years. Also weren't a few fans taken through courts in regards to singing some bigot pish during a Celtic game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 The best example of the absolute ridiculousness of these c***s is seeing two members of my ex-bird's family rolling about the living room floor, punching f**k out of each other about the result of a recent old firm game one new year. In their combined 90-odd years on the planet (living 100 miles from Glasgow) they'd been to two matches involving the teams they were fighting about - on both occasions when they'd drawn the local side in the Scottish Cup 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t have it both ways. Your whole argument has been based on not having a team to support, but you could have chosen Caley up till 1994. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If memory serves correct, the fine people of CTO rallied round to find the culprits before it went through court. A sad day for the Highlands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caley were known as the Rangers of the North by their own fans. When Caley died a big chunk of them followed Rangers full-time. Almost no one followed the MK Dons of the North... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 On topic, I know there's still a lot of Ross County fans who still support Celtic and Rangers. Looks like there's some who can never let go of their big team. County have been fairly successful since they joined the league in 1994. There's not really any need to still support one of the Old Firm, but a lot still do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given The Caleys falling attendances, and the previously mentioned bigoted songs being sung at games, I imagine this is the case across the bridge also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm aware of, I know a lot of The Caley fans and I don't have knowledge of any of them supporting another Scottish club. There's 2 lads in my office alone who support County and Rangers. There will be a lot more too. Just seems rather bizarre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
