Obviously it's to do with the word c.u.n.t but it's a bit stupid that it blank's out word's with the same letter's.

Was it worth discussion?

The answer is obvious.

Exactly . One side is as bad as the other end of story! I dont recall any of their fans gallavanting or rioting on there travels-except when they marauded down to wembley and took the pitch home :laugh:

Might have been Barcelona in 1972 when the game finished early because the fans invaded the pitch but I'm sure there was trouble in Birmingham in the 70s as well

Aston Villa v Rangers

got this from google

There were significant crowd problems at Ibrox in 1973 and 1975 but it was a Rangers' fans riot in Birmingham in 1976 in a 'friendly' with Aston Villa, which provoked the biggest media storm. In genera,l Rangers' expressions of disapproval and condemnation of 'certain sections' of their support, which had followed earlier outbreaks, were seen as irrelevant and now the Glasgow press severely criticised the club. The press detailed the Rangers' fans riots in Wolverhampton, Newcastle, Barcelona and now Birmingham, along with minor skirmishes elsewhere, and condemned the club. The general tone is revealed by Ian Archer in the Glasgow Herald:

"This has to be said about Rangers…as a Scottish Football club they are a permanent embarrassment and an occasional disgrace. This co :censored:

ry would be a better place if Rangers did not exist".

His reasons turned on bigotry and on the club's reputation for rough play. Rangers reacted to this growing criticism by stating that they were determined to end Rangers' image as a sectarian club and stated that no religious barriers would be placed on the signing of players.

no religious barriers when signing players but ten years later when souness signed mo johnstone there was uproar!
when you think of that policy these days its almost unbelievable, i`m surprised the scottish F.A let them get away with it but i suppose you cant make them sign a catholic because he is catholic alone, thats almost just as bad.

How many Protestant's do Celtic have playing for them?

Rangers have had numerous Catholic's over the year's mate, you guy's are certainly putting yourselves across as biased and bitter.

i know daglish is a protestant and played for celtic.
as i said mate i couldnt give a sh.1te about scottish football or what religion anyone is but i remember when souness was rangers manager and signed a catholic. before those days i didnt even know such a policy existed and the only reason i remotely followed the story back then was because souness was a hero of mine and he was signing a lot of high profile players taking them north reversing the trend of the southern talent drain.
i commented on a frankly awful policy thats all.

celtic and rangers. Liverpool biggest team in the world most successful in UK.

Kenny Dalglish and Jock Stein were both Protestants.Celtic have never had a ban on members of other religions,unlike Rangers(who banned Catholics for nearly a century).Liverpool and Celtic have a friendship that goes back to the Shankly era.We sing each others songs,we play each other in testimonials,we share a similar history of success.Rangers and Liverpool have no relationship whatsoever,never have,never will.

I can see why Celtic were dragged into this but the original point was that the Rangers fan claimed Rangers were a bigger club than Liverpool, and my reaction to that is that I feel thats nonsense, as one of the raison detres of being a Rangers' fan - particularly in the part of the world where the Rangers fan in question hails from - is sectarianism and bigotry.

The original post was a boast that Rangers were bigger than Liverpool and just because Celtic may or may not be better/worse than Rangers has nothing to do with that.

Rangers are a big club but I stick to my guns in saying that they are far from being a great club when they and their fans have a history of sectarianism and biggotry. Just because Celtic are just as bad isn't an excuse.

The original post referred to Rangers in comparison to Liverpool: Celtic shouldn't enter into it.

Right enought mate...

I have went on about Catholic's just as much.

Do you not think I know what most of this topic is? You're trying to provoke.

Can I just add aswell, that I don't give a sh*t about Scottish football either, and religion of course.

This is turning into a hatred thread in my opinion, and there's some member's who are involved that has surprised me.

I'm done with this now.
