Not an expert and can't be bothered looking back. I do remember Celtic having players like Larson, Sutton, Van Hoydonk etc the list goes on about the Celtic players in that time which is in no way similar to the recent past and current scenario at Rangers. Sorry if that's an opinion!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutton wasn't at Celtic when Smith was Rangers boss. Peter Grant balanced up all the good players I admit. The only time I have ever walked out of a Scotland game was when he was brought on as sub. Nothing to do with his club. He was just pish. My only point is that they were not as much in front of Celtic and occasionally Aberdeen as things stand just now. Surely you would agree with that?

Think you get more crabbit as you get older! One of my favourite seasons following aberdeen was the 95 season when we beat Dunfermilne in a relegation playoff to stay up. No idea why as we won the league cup the following season. I hardly missed a game. I remember Duncan Shearer scoring an overhead kick against Dundee United which effectively relegated them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanderark14 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I see its the old firm this weekend. One of the attractions to this fixture was the atmosphere, when are both clubs going to get a grip and allow away fans more tickets again.

I completely agree, but it was the Rangers whi started this, so why should we give an inch..

slasher Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 48 minutes ago, vanderark14 said: I'm guessing this attitude mirrors that of the clubs It’s quite simple VA. The huns actively campaigned for Celtic’s allocation to be cut to 700 or whatever it is after growing tired of watching the celebrations in the Broomloan. Spotting an opportunity to appease the knuckle draggers old pontoon eyes agreed. Since then Celtic fans have returned from Ibrox with horror stories of being pelted with all sorts. Two guys had their heads split open with glass bottles at the last game. Against that background Celtic asked for a return to the full allocation, the huns refused. They then asked for some safety guarantees surrounding security within the section and I believe over access and exiting the ground. Again the huns refused. Following those discussions Celtic declined their allocation and of course have reciprocated at Celtic Park. Fans of other clubs have endured this nonsense in that corner for years. I’m not saying that it doesn’t happen elsewhere at times including Parkhead but the huns in particular seem incapable of creating a safe environment for away fans in that corner and against that background I think the club have made the right call. PS I note that Celtic have effectively banned the green brigade from Hampden at the semi final after the firework display at the last game.

ger intae them Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 It’s not ‘quite rightly’, they should be taking the moral high ground and not reacting in the same way. That tit for tat results in them speedily getting to a position that is hard to reverse. Short sighted, childish, small time , non classy behaviour by both…… shockeroonie!

vanderark14 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 If celtic didn't cut the huns allocation they would have had their own fans on their back. Doesn't make it right, if anything it illustrates the playground mentality further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
