A lot of people are interested in what went on yesterday. Like it or not the Old Firm generates a lot of interest.

But you’re right, this thread isn’t really the place for this discussion.

As for Saturday, we will lose, nothing surer.

I don’t want to poke a bear (literally) but are you a Motherwell fan? Have you ever attended a Motherwell match?

im pretty sure every single post I’ve seen from you is suggesting we’ll lose whatever game we are playing? I may be totally wrong and I’m sorry if I have the wrong end of the stick but it just seems you are a rangers fan trolling us? Which again…. Is fine but just a bit odd

Celtic have previous for this as we saw at Fir Park a few years back. Hundreds of their fans jumping on the park, confronting stewards and players. They are out of control and can basically do what they like because the authorities are terrified of them and their club.

But it’s the easier and ‘safer’ option to just blame Rangers, even when all the evidence points to who really is to blame.

I agree, I've not seen the ins and outs of yesterday but sounds like the   narrative is celtic fans over exuberant,  rangers aggressive. 

I've worked and been in the company of celtic fans to know what some  can be like

They both deserve each other ,a polution in football. All media has connections with them both so no drama from them.

Totally,  there's a reason they're known as old firm, they rely on each other to make money.

Apart from the Dundee game on Saturday which I predicted us to win 3-0? Or did you just ignore that one as it didn’t suit your narrative?

Yes I am very much a Motherwell fan, a diehard I’d even go so far as to say. I rarely, if ever miss a home match.

I don’t know how you can deduce from my posts that I am a Rangers fan as I don’t think I’ve said much in the way of anything positive about them, apart from finding them less repulsive and dislikable than Celtic but of course to many people in this part of the world saying that does somehow translate to being pro-Rangers. Especially to people who are obsessed by and consumed with their hatred of Rangers, like you.

Ok 👍

back to the match on hand. Great to see us sellout our 750 tickets on Saturday.

A disgraceful incident yesterday and an embarassment to Scotland. Lots of questions need to be asked of both clubs, the SFA, SPFL, Police and Scottish Government. Sevco must look at the behaviour of their fans and their security arrangements. Celtic also need to look at the behaviour of their fans. Did they sell tickets to the Green Brigade?  The SFA and SPFL need to look at strict liability, now that they set a precedent with pyros. The Scottish Government needs to grow a set after they intervened over pyros and must face up to embarassing, uncomfortable and controversial issues. 

Lots of questions and, I fear, no answers will be forthcoming.

Mibbe a daft question, but were they only ever supposed to be on sale to season ticket holders, or did they change it to that a few days ago?

I think as long as you are on the “system” and confirmed as a fan, then it doesn’t matter and they’ll sell you a ticket. I do recall it was always first dibs to season ticket holders but I dont think that’s the case now

Yeah, I got one no problem when they went on sale, but someone asked me the other day, and it had changed to season ticket holders only.

Anyway, I'm sure Celtic won't mind if the away supporters turn up without a ticket.

750 away tickets in a stadium that size, that is seldom sold out these days is a joke. Thats about 1.2%.

Given the importance of the game when they come calling to Fir Park and given passed incidents we should cut their allocation to a similar 1.2%. Motherwell fans must come first.

On another note it seems individuals  following Celtic barged through security checks at Ibrox. Not for the first time. They cannot be trusted and one day will cause a major incident. The authorities need to act before its to late.

As for the pitch invasion. Ive seen more aggression on boxing day up at the shops.  Not that it excuses them being on the pitch. Over to the authorities to deal accordingly. Plenty of pictures of the individuals involved.

This to me is the troubling thing about it, we’ve had this at fir park with Celtic before and it was definitely the case at that last game at home v Rangers, they clearly had 100s of extra fans in there as they took over the stairwells. I know it is difficult to control these hoards of fans but it’s an accident waiting to happen. Something needs done about it.

There are numerous videos on social media showing Celtic fans forcing open exits to enter the stadium yesterday as well as damage to seats, advertising boards and graffiti everywhere. Basically the same as they do every time they come to Fir Park but on a much larger scale.

Celtic fans are the most self entitled, pig headed arseholes in football but because of their clout and influence in football, society and politics they know they will get away with it and they simply flip from wanting to play the tough guy and pushing everyone around to victim mode when anyone challenges them.

As for reducing their allocation the next time they come here, that is a non starter because they will just do what they do even when they’ve got the full allocation - double up at turnstiles or else simply force their way in. It would also increase the likelihood of then buying home end tickets which then puts our fans at risk, especially if the game is a potential title decider as it may well be come the time.

You need to take off the Red/White/Blue tinted specs. Both are as bad as each other and for you to say it was all Celtic fans fault is laughable. Were Rangers fans forced to jump onto the park, run the length of the park and throw flares into the Celtic end? Is that accepteable to you because Celtic fans ran onto the park?(equally unaccepteable)

I`d make both play behind closed doors for there next home games, but we all know the SFA wouldn`t have the balls.

See? This is the nonsense I’m talking about with anyone criticising Celtic being labelled a Rangers fan. It’s laughable yet ridiculous in equal measures.

I love how you completely ignore that I have already said on more than one occasion in this thread that neither side comes out of it well and that what happened, shouldn’t have happened.

I will put this as simply as I can. If the Celtic fans do not enter the park at the end of the game then the Rangers fans don’t enter in retaliation a few minutes later. Neither should have happened but something had to get the ball rolling and that was the Celtic fans invading the pitch. I have said nothing there in support of or even positive about Rangers and their fans behaviour yesterday but the Celtic fans were to blame for the post match chaos.

Think yesterday showed its nothing to do with alcohol, it was banned in 1980 , again alcohol wasn't a major factor. 

It could be a money maker for clubs , but it's not hoing to happen now.

A look at your posts over some time re the uglies clearly shows an attempt to minimise the awfulness of RFC. 

Walk like a duck comes to mind!!

Yesterday's aftermath is a case in point in that you blame Celtic supporters when even the dogs in the street can see the Rangers fans where in attack mode . Celtic fans although they shouldn't have invaded the park were largely celebratory. And of course I don't recall Celtic supporters attacking Rangers players!!!

I suggest you fully brief yourself on RFC as even the most basic analysis shows that it remains a cornerstone of bigotry in the 21st century. For example this is seen by them continuing to play in orange strips when this colour is nowhere to be found in their official colours. RFC clearly knows its support base .

And aside from their ' values' we can't forget their liquidation resulting from their evidenced cheating of  HMRC and indeed other clubs ( including us) from points, trophies and European places. Any other club would have been put out of existence.

Yup, Celtic and many of its supporters are distasteful but they are manifestly not as disagreeable as the blue lot no matter how much you might want to disagree.

Finally, when posting in the future you might want to remember the great journalist Ian Archer's description of RFC and its support " As the permanent embarrassment and the occasional disgrace".

Never a truer word.

Imagine being a fully grown man wearing a silly wee mask running about thinking you are hard how embarrssing and that goes for every club these aholes think they are bigger than the clubs but dont even have the balls to show face.Ban them for life and if they breech the ban then jail time get them out horrible juan kers.

Its time for banning of full face coverings in public gatherings like football matches and such no need for it.

Sorry about the rant peeps back to the football  i fancy us to do something on Saturday looking at the players Celtic have out i think we might just turn them over,2-1 to the Superwell with Celtic getting goal via a dodgy pen!
