hi guys , i am a celtic fan and celts play rangers this weekend "tribal warfare" for want of another expression .

circumstances dictate rangers are top of the league on goal dif, (because celts game at i c t was cancelled). oh and barry ferguson is back ! big deal ?

Residents of Glasgow run and hide.

There is nowhere to hide for them

I'm a Celtic fan as well and I predict that the outcome of this game will be a convincing 3-0 victory (Hartson, Sutton, Bellamy)


The unnatural levels of confidence displayed by Rangers will make it all the sweeter on Sunday. Remember, this team have not won at Celtic Park for 6 years!!

Easy home win for the Celts. What do other orgers form the UK think?

In terms of Scottish football, I keep my eye on the top of the table, and try to watch old-firm games whenever possible... they're usually great to watch

I think Celtic will win the game, and that Bellamy will run riot in that league... ehile he's there!

thats 3 goin for the celts !!! so far ,....

In all honesty Danny, I've never heard of a hun on the org....surely there is at least one?

sermwanderer said:

yea , they got shite taste in music ,... tina turner n' they all think U2 are shite ,... think about it, they all think possibly the biggest band in the world are shite ! (i wonder why chris ?)

huns = shite taste in music = non org.

danielboon said:

Yep, sitting around with there Andy Cameron CDs

Danny, did you hear that Snoop Dogg was wearing a Celtic top today when Jo Whiley interviewed him!! No Joke!!

thank you we will !!

senik said:

I reckon Villa v Blues comes pretty close.... although granted...it's not quite at the Old Firm level

All derbys are passionate to a greater or lesser extent, but from what I've heard and all the people I've spoken to, the Glasgow derby is by far and away an event to attend atleast once in every footy fans life

Celtic Park and Ibrox are said to be literally "bouncing" when they clash!

senik said:

I would love to go one day

RocknRollisalive said:

This one is going to be amazing, because for the first time in a while, the knuckledraggers from Ibrox think they've got a chance.

Roll on Sunday!!

sermwanderer said:

The 'Gers have been banging in some heavy goals lately

But then again, didn't you beat them in the cup or something recently? (I may be wrong on that )

senik said:

Yeah, last month we beat them in the cup

Theyve been scoring, but theyve been scoring against a bunch of nobodies

Sundays the real test, and I think theyre in trouble!!!

(Of course, I'm biased!!)

sermwanderer said:

It can all go a bit "Pete Tong" if you lose

Coz then if you win your game in hand you'll be level pegging but way behind on 'goal difference'.

(I'm just venting out bad vibes coz we didn't use our game in hand to close on the Toffees )

I think Celtic have the advantage simple because it’s a home tie. Celtic have been well below par for the past 18 months in my opinion. Yes we have still won the league but they have fallen well short of previous years standards. Home games at Celtic Park can be such a bore. It was boring beating Aberdeen, Motherwell or Kilmarnock 4 or 5 nil, now it’s just one or two. Anyway I’m hoping for a DVD score line, 5- 1 or 6 -2 but I think there will only be a goal in it. C’mon the Hoops!

Why do they refer to old firm games in the context of religious bigotry? I’ve never witnessed any theological discussion between old firm fans. danielboon rightly referred to it as ‘tribal warfare’.

Your right, but to be honest, I'm not even considering that possibility

You and your vibes!!!

Its lazy journalism.

Its easy to pigeonhole one as Catholic the other as Protestant, when thats unaccurate to say the least

tribal Warfare sums it up more succinctly

I agree… lazy journalism, but more likely cowardly journalism.

i think it will be close...rangers have improved slightly and celtic have went backwards since henrik :worship:left..i think celtic will sneak it by one goal, 2-1 maybe rangers do seem to be slighty overconfident but better teams teams than them have fallen at celtic park in recent years...so where are all the gers supporters?

Ok, I'm off out for a pre match night out, then up for the game early doors, so the next time I'm on the org, the Celts should have skelped the minions by 2 or 3

sermwanderer said:

same here ! hail hail !!

easy win, 2 or 3 nil, Craigy sets up both for Hartson, maybe gets one himself late on.

:fingerscrossed:

Don't forget NUFC vs the Mackems. I miss those games... I just hope next time we play them it's in the top division not the Championship!
