Interesting. Des is right though at the end of the day Rangers are in the Final. They do deserve it but people clearly saying ''yay rangers'' is nonsensical.

I like to see (some) British teams do well and offer a bit of support to their supporters on here.

Why should a Tallaght man be cheering on Celtic?

Honestly?


Ad as Des says. I'm half German , I'll support who the **** I like.

Fair play to Zenit, I really hope they win it, they've been the best team in the competition this year.

I was in St Petersburg earlier in the year and caught a game while i was out there ever since I love them, we all bought jerseys and made them our 2nd teams to support.

They play great football, the fans are crazy, none of this diving crap and they have some top quality players, i mean look at Skertl, came form Zenit and walked straight into the liverpool team and has been immense.

Such a pity Prognaback will miss the final, hes been outstanding this season

No fan of football should be congratulating that shower of **** tonight. If it was a continental team no one would be saying congratulations.



Fvcking sickening. :mad:

The SH1TE some people go on! What reason do you have to be against Rangers tonight!

This Celtic boll*x that people go on with is just plain stupid and immature!:mad:

Irish connection obviously.

Just like that relatively non-successful Edinburgh team, called after Ireland, who nobody supports.

Tis a bandwagon.

because they have a rabid right wing, anti catholic history and support and a policy of not allowing your fellow Irishmen to play for them?

i liked seeing rangers win tonite.
we get more mainstream coverage of scottish football so its good to see a team that is close to our shores and speak the same language in a big final...
god knows that will be missing come Euro 08

Are you trying to say that Celtic doesn't have any anti-prodestant history and support?!

Whats wrong with congratulating a team making a final?

This is ****in hilarious.......

I congratulated Celtic on their results in the CL group stages.
DOes that mean i took part in a "Celtic love in"?
Does it hell as like.

Fans of a certain club on here, might want to grow up a litle.

No, but I have yet to hear a reasonable explaination for Irishmen to support a team with Rangers previous in terms of their anti-Irish and catholic traditions other that trying to get a reaction.

Its like 10 year olds drawing swastikas in art class. trying to get any reaction they can.

You have no problem with no Irish people being allowed play for the club?

Whatever about elements of the support, Celtic FC have absolutely no 'anti-protestant' history.

Stein, Dalgliesh, Larsson were all what religion?

gary the great

Lads relax with all the Rangers loving, it is a bit ghey, if you wanna discuss that crap start a new thread.

this is for discussing the games tonight.

Rangers V Zenit in manchester, can see Zenit attacking quite a bit. 2 tough teams with no Drogbas should be a good game.

I think Zenit have to much class for them tbh but will miss Prognaback really bad, hes scored 10 in the Uefa cup this season, why oh why wasnt he taken off earlier. Will be such a shame that probably the best player of the tournament will miss the final.

Quite a bit of potential for trouble that night, both sets of fans would be rough enough customers, sure the Zenit fans were celebrating by ripping the seats off, in their own stadium after winning 4 nil :-)

It was an innocent error on the age and retracted in full. However, Rangers fans did kill a Celtic fan this weekend.

Yet Des still thinks its 'cool' to provoke a reaction. Would he get away with it on here if it were an English fan murdered?

I wasn't trying to provoke a reaction because of a murder.

No im not saying that, i dont really give a toss for Celtic or rangers and whether an irishman can play for rangers blah blah blah has nothing to do with tonights games. I love Zenit and want to talk about their win. If i could do that on another froum I would, but unfortunatly all the active Zenit forums are in Russian!

1: As an Irishman I object to the way their club treated the Irish diaspora in west Scotland.

2: As a socialist I object to the bigotry and employment bias at club level and the racism and fascism on their terraces

3: As a football fan on the basis of their negativity and cynicism.

Don't be so ****ing ridiculous. I wager the majority of them would react to a German the way they'd react to an Irishman - with utter disdain. Their idea of 'Britishness' is right-wing xenophobia.

The racism and negativity can be said about Celtic as well! Your just been blinded by this whole 'I'm Irish I have to support Celtic till I die,and Rangers are a shower of Cu*nts' crap that it seems is never going to disappear!

Theres plenty of racism to be found in Ireland, just take a look at the AH board 90% of the time youll find it.

And of course celtic fans are all proud of their affinity to Ireland.......

Or a bit of both?

I never said there wasn't racism in Ireland. I've been to matches at Lansdowne and been annoyed to hear the SF/IRA crap. I just object to the idea that Rangers FC should be held up as a pinnacle of virtue when it is clearly anything but.

So we are expected to discuss Glasgow Rangers without reference to religion?

Move on my swiss, your club had a discriminatory policy against people of a certain religion for longer than they havent and in the context of why people dislike your club its to be brushed over?

Right I'm off to bed, I have half an office of smiling gits to face tomorrow.

Anyway, the biggest reason I am so hacked off tonight is the fact that the SPL have ruined the end of the season now as they have wrecked my plans to bring my brother to Tannadice for the last game of the season. Feckers
