Football Rivalry, just how low can you sink?

Eirebear

Before we start, this is not a thread aimed at "Celtic bashing"

I am however interested in how many people would do this in order to stop a couple of fans of teams they despise getting to a european final.
Especially when you consider how much the tickets have been selling for this week!

Ill tell ya man, if those tickets are real (which i suspect they may not be) that man is giving up a LOT of money.
Talk about sticking by your principles eh?

Mr Alan

in fairness all they did was burn tickets. i think scum is a little harsh. they didnt hurt anyone.

zAbbo

And he's right about Samaras as well

Tickets look fake anyway

Its an interesting look into the phsyce of a certain type of football fan

Nah - i'd sell them on. I hate rival clubs, but not their fans. If I had tickets to a final Liverpool, Leeds or City were in i'd glad sell them on to their fans. I would hope the fans I sell them to have a terrible day cause their team lost 7-0 and will now be banned from whate ver competition cause of a mass brawl involving only their players after the final whistle...but i would go to such lengths to stop those fans from seeing the final.

Wow this forum made it ONE FULL DAY without an anti-Celtic thread.

FFS People.

Idiots tbh could have got £500 each so cost them a £1000 would have been better to brag I bought these tickets for £60 and some stupid Rangers fan gave me £500 for them. As stupid as all the Ranger's fans that burnt their season tickets when Mo Johnston signed for them.

lol - what rubbish - anti-celtic threads aren't THAT common. In fact, i can't think of many threads that have been anti-celtic.

That would have been the clever idea but he probably couldn't take money from the enemy.

Reminds me of the Liverpool fan burning his Liverpool top with Gerrard on the back on TV when Gerrard handed in his transfer request, only to withdraw it a few hours later!

May as well lock it, next time ill just stick anything like this in the SPL thread.....no one goes in there anyway!

leninbenjamin

I know the picture quality was ****, but in that video those things burned did not look like tickets. looked way to thin. i'd say it's a wind up. good one too. :pac:

Probably a good idea, at least the SPL forum isn't full of West Brits with a superiority complex

I dont believe those tickets were real

Make a house out of cardboard and burn it down.

A Dub in Glasgo

If I had tickets to the Micky Mou.. erm UEFA Cup final, I would sell on ebay and enjoy my 2 week trip to Seville

Was it Mickey Mouse the time Celtic lost in the final?

A Dub in Glasgo

A play on words for the Rangers fans as a lot of them described the UEFA cup final as the Mickey Mouse final when Celtic went to Seville. Surprised you did not know that.

OhNoYouDidn't

I would have thought murdering someone on their way home from a game is quite a bit lower than burning tickets.

But then again, I live in the real world.

So now we've reached the point where you are a WB if you don't support Celtic and can see the absurdity of the current mania for them. Perhaps you could get Dermot Desmond have his FF mates outlaw criticism of them.

UEFA should get the ticket numbers, re-issue them and donate the money to an anti-sectarian campaign, or perhaps pay for geography lessons for Irish football 'fans'.

I am a Celtic fan who doesn't support any EPL club, but the difference is I don't spend my time knocking English clubs or there supporters.

Judging by your last comment Celtic obviously isn't the only chip on your shoulder

Och, if it's a chip (and I don't accept it is), at least it's an Irish chip

I don't spend any time knocking English club fans either. Though some are jaded profit centres rather than sports organizations, generally English clubs don't have the same blatantly cynical marketing aims in Ireland, they don't pretend to be what they're not, and they don't retain the sectarian baggage that your lot do. (It shouldn't matter, but as it happens I do follow an English team.)

Think about it. You are calling Irish people West Brits because they have a critical perspective on a British club. Isn't that a wee bit topsy-turvy?

Was just about to get started explaining Celtic's Irish roots (past and present) but I think the ignorance of your comment above means it would be time wasted.

Thats Bohs logic alright. THe type of logic that allows the Derry 4 go to games but fights tooth and nail in the High Court to ban a bloke for 'associating' with hoolies.

How is burning tickets, even if real (which I don't think they are), "low"? It's just stupid IMO. If he bought them, he can wipe his hole with them if he so desires.

If you want low EB, search YouTube for videos of your club's supporters "interacting" with Artur Boruc, before they went crying to the cops.

Now THAT'S football rivalry at a pretty low point.

He didn't call me a WB. I don't hate Celtic.
If Celtic are playing, say, Chelsea, I will, of course, shout for Celtic, because they have some Irish assocation. That Japanese bloke is good to watch too.
I do, however, despise the sectarian nonsense that still follows the club around, just as, incidentally, I despise the same from Rangers, as should all right-thinking people, and I happen to think that Rangers fans are probably more stuck in the past.
You are happy to join in and amplify the sectarian agenda, with your pathetic attempt to set up a Shams v Bohs shadow rivalry that apes the Old Firm. I suggest leaving the Scots to their stupidity and let us focus on football.
Now run along with your shillelagh.

Jonny Arson

i think the Celtic fan is just sad individual if doing that really gives him pleasure

i would have got far more pleasure fleecing a Rangers fan out of a grand or so and receiving an economic benefit too!

or maybe god forbid do something useful for the world and give the tickets for a charity auction or something, but that would probably too much intelligence for some football fans :rolleyes:

what a f**king waste
