grumpy Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago 5 hours ago, MJC said: It was their first season (back) in the top flight. And why would he not have been supporting them in the lower leagues? Rangers regularly sold out their allocations home and away while they were playing in the lower divisions at the same time as Celtic had to shut the top tier of the stand at Parkhead as their fans lost interest without Rangers in the league. I worked in Glasgow for more than 40 years and knew many "fans" of both arse cheeks who had never set foot inside the stadium of their chosen club. The original point was that this fan had no knowledge of the group stages in the League cup despite his club's participation very recently. Or to put it another way, wind yer neck in.

MJC Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Or maybe he doesn’t remember something that happened the best part of a decade ago now? I’d hardly describe 2016 as “very recently”. I don’t doubt that you have met fans of both clubs that fit that category, but at the same time that can also be applied to many Motherwell fans. I’ve said this before but there are plenty who never set foot inside Fir Park for run of the mill games yet come out of the woodwork for Cup semis/finals or European games then disappear again. And usually those are the ones who have the cheek to call Old Firm fans glory hunters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any more weird than attacking a random person by accusing them of not supporting his team because they were in the lower leagues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
