Has anyone been to a game in Scotland before or a Glasgow derby? May not always be the best football but the crowds and banter piss all over English football.

Never.

If you ask around early enough a Celtic or Rangers fan would probably find one for you but they don't really go on public sale. It used to be that each fanbase had a full stand for the away support that made the atmosphere really intense but after Celtic kept beating Rangers under Brendan Rodgers, Rangers threw their toys out of the pram and reduced it to the bare minimum away support so Celtic followed suit. They also try play the games at noon now to reduce trouble and stop people drinking (they still drink) but occasionally you'll get a midweek evening game.
It's a weird feeling, you can feel the tension in the city before the game just walking to the stadium etc. Amazing when you win, awful when you don't.
European nights at Celtic Park and Ibrox also have a great atmosphere (some of you may have experienced it when Benfica played there).
The Edinburgh derby is good as well. I hate Hearts but their stadium Tynecastle is a good small stadium. It's right on top of the pitch which leads to a good atmosphere.
Hampden is probably the crappest stadium. It has a ton of history attached to it but they absolutely botched it's rebuild in the late 90's and if you have a seat behind the goals you would be as well staying home. It's pretty cavernous when not full. I hate that the SFA nominate it for tournaments over Celtic Park and Ibrox. In the 1950's it was the biggest stadium in the world before the Maracana was built at the time and supposedly did have a great atmosphere. It still has the attendance record for highest ever European crowd for when Celtic played Leeds United there in the 1970 European cup semi final.

There's still a few around who went to 1967. Usually people's grand parents or uncles. It's starting to age out though, same with the players from then :( I went to the Estadio Nacional in 2014. It's cool that it is still there, feels like a museum. Walked up to the stadium with my Celtic top and the guards there just laugh and say 'Celtic fan?' and let you walk in and tell you to stay off the grass.
The 1960 European Cup final at Hampden between Real Madrid and Frankfurt was the inspiration for Scottish football back then. A lot of people claim to have went to that game and saw Puskas, DiStefano etc
You'll also here a lot about the 1970 European cup run. We lost the final to Feyenoord at the San Siro. Partly because we underestimated the Dutch before they became a force in the 70's and the players had a falling out with the board over bonus payments. The Semi final against Leeds gets talked about most but you'll also hear about the win over Eusebio's Benfica as we controversially won due to a coin toss. Then advocated to UEFA to change that rule.

This especially applies to the Scottish league. We'll moan that it's crap but as soon as someone English who has never watched it tells you it's a farmers league we'll unite.

We usually say it's a masonic conspiracy, corruption or in Rangers case some papal conspiracy if a decision goes against them. Usually it's just that our referees are horrible but sometimes you do think some are a bit dodgy or biased.

Literally yesterday at work! Usually that or that they are Irish somewhere and the name of the county in Ireland their ancestor is from because of course Ireland is pretty much the same thing and right beside it or something. :) To answer your question all the time or they'll say i'd love to visit Scotland...but never leave the country. Occasionally they'll hear my accent and assume i'm Irish then when I say i'm Scottish they'll say you look Irish (I didn't know we looked different). One of my grand parents is Irish in fairness and I could get Irish citizenship but i'm very much Scottish.

For anyone unfamiliar. There is a term in Scottish football called the banter years. It started in 2012 when Rangers went bust and is about some funny things that happened in the lower leagues and first few seasons post promotion back to the top flight. Rangers fans will talk about it in the past tense now once they won the Championship in 2020.

As much as the Glasgow derby is the biggest rivalry by far, the one between Aberdeen and Rangers is pretty intense. Both teams hate each other and have done since Alex Ferguson was manager was there. It got nastier with the Ian Durrant injury.

To put things in perspective, he meant no harm with the "rabeta" (which means something like fag), it's more like an internal joke on the forum. Back when Jota was still playing in Benfica, some users would say that he's a bit cocky (the way he styles his hair), and that is why he didn't succeed.

Celticfan, how was the feeling of seeing your main rival gone when Rangers got bankrupt?
Amazing and funny as fuck. I was a kid in the 90s when Rangers won 9 in a row and they absolutely lorded it over us and could genuinely spend the same amount as the top English teams. Rangers were the second richest club in Britain and had one of the biggest stadiums at the time. (This was in the infancy of sky tv money). Rangers also benefitted a lot from English teams being banned from Europe in the 1980s and brought in lots of foreign and English talent. In the early 1990s Celtic almost went bust and took years to get back into a contending state. Rangers sugar daddy then got told to reign in spending and debt so they tried a tax avoidance scheme in the early 2000s which made them go bust.
Then seeing the new club struggle up the divisions and not getting promoted in the championship one year. Even now it's funny seeing the hoops they go through to claim they are the same club. Claiming the company that owned the club went bust and claiming they won championship 55 when they didn't do that for the rest of the massive '150th anniversary celebrations'. You can tell it's a major insecurity for them.
Celtic fans now call them sevco as a dig (the company name they set up for the new club which became known as 'the rangers' ) and the club themselves no longer call it the old firm derby and call it the Glasgow derby. Rangers plastered 'this is the old firm' all over ibrox in the last derby there.
How would Benfica fans feel if Sporting or Porto died?
Honestly, I've always thought we'd take a lot of recoil damage from either club dying, in the sense that the league would lose enough interest that the club would suffer reputationally and fail to attract the type of talent it used to - and then I met a Celtic fan who was unlucky enough to be one while living in Uddingston, save for how much fun the banter years were.
So now, I'm sold. They can go bust whenever they like as far as I'm concerned.

Sporting, meh, they're just annoying really, and I have fond memories of making fun of my schoolmates who were Sporting supporters. Thankfully, I live near Lisbon, so I only had the odd

Now, Porto it's another story, we'd all celebrate if they just went away. They're as corrupt, if not more, as Juventus. Seriously, you can google it, "apito dourado" (which means golden whistle), if you're not aware. There are audios you can listen to as well on youtube, where we can listen to Pinto da Costa (Porto's president) literally buying out refs. Unfortunately, the evidence was not accepted by the court, as they were deemed illegally obtained.
Honestly, just a big mafia.

It was honestly a lost opportunity for us. We had a free run at champions league qualification and messed it up. We qualified the first season they went bust and made the last 16 beating Barcelona on the way...and Benfica I think? After that our board got super cheap and decided we would win the league anyway and bought absolute cheap duds and at the time a relatively rookie manager in Ronnie Deila. We then sold Van Dijk, Wanyama and Hooper and basically sat on the money and decided the Europa league was enough.
We should have invested and kept trying to make the champions league and brought through more young players with less pressure on the team.
We lost a Scottish cup semi final to Rangers when they were in the championship which was a reality check and the next season brought in Brendan Rodgers and backed him.
Under our old CEO we half arsed a lot of stuff. We never built from a position of strength. I'm hoping with the new CEO and current manager we can build something long term. The new manager seems to really know how to scout players and I'm hoping can fix the youth academy.

A lot of Celtic fans are still bitter at Porto for the 2003 uefa cup final. I'll admit Porto were probably the better team (though if Hartson had been fit or we had a goalie who don't sell they jerseys who knows) but the play acting and time wasting from Derlei, Deco and Victor Baia pissed a lot of people off against a weak referee. There was no need for it and they probably would have won without it.
Most have came round to Mourinho.
I felt awful for Larsson that night he had some game it felt like a redemption when he won the Champions League with Barcelona by setting up the 2 goals even though he was older by then.
We haven't interacted with Sporting much barring a European game in the mid 90s when Cadete played for them.

That's a really interesting look at it, and tracks with what I think is the right way to think about it now. We're now in a spot where consistent Champions League appearances are worth more than the domestic TV money, so why would you possibly mind what in this league would be a free shot at it?
But yes, as someone has already said, much rather it be at the expense of Porto than Sporting. Sporting are annoying, yes, but in much the same way that a little brother is annoying. Porto's continued impunity and survival in the top flight is to the active detriment to the development of this nation and an affront to the meaning of the word "sport" itself

After that our board got super cheap and decided we would win the league anyway and bought absolute cheap duds and at the time a relatively rookie manager in Ronnie Deila. We then sold Van Dijk, Wanyama and Hooper and basically sat on the money and decided the Europa league was enough.
We should have invested and kept trying to make the champions league and brought through more young players with less pressure on the team.
We lost a Scottish cup semi final to Rangers when they were in the championship which was a reality check and the next season brought in Brendan Rodgers and backed him.
Under our old CEO we half arsed a lot of stuff. We never built from a position of strength. I'm hoping with the new CEO and current manager we can build something long term. The new manager seems to really know how to scout players and I'm hoping can fix the youth academy.
That's a really interesting look at it, and tracks with what I think is the right way to think about it now. We're now in a spot where consistent Champions League appearances are worth more than the domestic TV money, so why would you possibly mind what in this league would be a free shot at it?
But yes, as someone has already said, much rather it be at the expense of Porto than Sporting. Sporting are annoying, yes, but in much the same way that a little brother is annoying. Porto's continued impunity and survival in the top flight is to the active detriment to the development of this nation and an affront to the meaning of the word "sport" itself
Our old CEO was so risk averse it was frustrating. They wouldnt sanction new signings till AFTER the champions league qualifiers were done so they could see the budget. Meaning at times we were playing young kids or reserve players at key position s or out of position and losing very winnable qualifiers to Scandinavian or eastern European teams. That approach cost us so much potential money.
Ha we still feel that way about the new rangers

Honestly, I've always thought we'd take a lot of recoil damage from either club dying, in the sense that the league would lose enough interest that the club would suffer reputationally and fail to attract the type of talent it used to - and then I met a Celtic fan who was unlucky enough to be one while living in Uddingston, save for how much fun the banter years were.
So now, I'm sold. They can go bust whenever they like as far as I'm concerned.

It's unsettling how often this exact behaviour has happened here, despite the fact that by the time the qualifiers are done we're already on league matchday 3 or 4

Fuck yeah. Got a bit nervy when it went to penalties admittedly and the way this year is going I feared the worst but god bless Frankfurt. I cheered Aaron Ramseys penalty miss like it was a Celtic goal. I'd be shocked if rangers fans didn't all do the same with us.

Partick Thistle are the third team and based in the north side of Glasgow. They are usually a first division, sometimes premier league team. They tend to get a lot of foreign students from the University of Glasgow support them as there ground is close by. Also people who can't be bothered with the politics of Celtic and Rangers or just people who have it as their local team.
When I lived in Glasgow I went to the odd game if Celtic weren't playing at home, others do too.
They are pretty bad though.
If you live in the south side of Glasgow the 4th team in Glasgow are called Queens Park. They are the oldest team in Scotland and used to be the biggest club in the late 19th/early 20th century. They suffered though from refusing to become professional and got stuck in the lower leagues due to staying amateur. They just recently became professional and are moving back up the leagues with some money behind them.

What happened with Karamoko Dembele? I saw today that he signed for Brest.

He got hurt badly in a preseason game when the manager was trying everyone out, giving everyone a fresh opportunity and he was hurt for most of the season. Which sucked. The manager then signed Jota, Abada and Maeda. He then didn't sign an extension so the manager didn't bother trying him.
Any time he did play for the first team lately I wasn't that impressed. Seemed too small physically.
Before last season our previous manager was a dinosaur who was reluctant to play youngsters.
We'll see how he does in France. He'll either disappear or make us look stupid. I felt losing Doak was worse.

He was there briefly on loan last season and flashed. I think he is one to keep an eye on, if he does well this year he'll end up at one of the Glasgow clubs or possibly upper championship. Had something about him last year.

A little strange seeing scots go to Italian teams. Not sure if they think they've struck a gold mine or if Scots just suit the Italian style well. I didn't think hickey was that great in Scotland and he just got an 18 million move from Bologna to Brentford. Liam Henderson also seems to have a good career in serie A but was only okay at hibs and didn't make the grade at Celtic.
Maybe Italians think they can sell these players on for profit. I do like Ferguson, just not sure he'd fit Celtics system. Plus his dad and uncle are ex rangers players

Did you live there? I like Inverness to visit, not so much the team. It's a fun away trip though to the highlands, people getting on the bus early in the morning and drinking all day, less so in Winter time when it's freezing and the roads are dicey.

If you ever want to learn Scottish accents or about Scottish football this is a good listen, even some of the hosts have quite strong accents but the callers really do:

It's always a good laugh after a Glasgow derby or after a bad defeat for one of the Glasgow teams. Some of the people phoning in are crazy or have crazy opinions.
Some parts are quite hard to understand
I bet ;D The episodes this week are mostly Rangers fans complaining about their performance in the qualifier which for me is funny.

Celtic fans have sympathy for any English club? What about Rangers?
Rangers and Chelsea have some friendship along with Hamburg and Linfield. Their fan bases are pretty right wing and they call each other the blues brothers.
Celtic not really. Some fans like Liverpool as the two had a fundraiser after the Hillsborough disaster but I know others had a soft spot for Man Utd and others Everton. We're generally either hated in England for being anti-British and anti monarchy or liked by English people with irish backgrounds. If we were in the EPL we'd be the equivalent of Notre Dame or one of the Boston teams in American sports.
Celtic had a good relationship with St Pauli and Villareal. We played Villareal in the UEFA cup years ago when they first came good and the two fans hit it off. You get lots of their fans visiting Glasgow.

FC Porto is like a sicilian family. Pure mafia with many ramifications, and then nobody gives credit to their victories. We unfortunately have attracted guys that used our club for their personal benefit, winning being a second priority.

How Kyogo isn't in the World Cup?
Japan must have a world class team...
I'm guessing they don't think he is clinical enough, he was a little off form for us but they took Maeda who isn't a patch on kyogo. I'm more baffled by hatate not getting selected though.
What's with Celtic always having a few Japanese players in their squad? Was signing Nakamura 2 decades ago a breakthrough into the J-League market for Celtic's scouts? Do you have some protocol signed with a few Japanese clubs?
After German clubs in general it seems like Celtic is the one in Europe where Japanese players often end up at.

Citação de: Covenant em 22 de Janeiro de 2023, 21:47What you think about losing Josip Juranović?
Normally would be gutted but we signed a Canadian player from MLS called Alistair Johnston who looks really promising so far and is hard as nails. It's still early but the signs are good and he is younger than Juranovic.
I'm a little disappointed in the fee we got for him and likewise Giakoumakis but guessing it's because they are a bit older and most non English clubs seem skint.

Celtic are 3 trophies away from over taking Rangers all time haul. They will likely will the league this year which reduces it to 2 and there is still the Scottish cup to be played so it could be 1. Rangers fans are freaking out about it.
A European cup win trumps everything though in my opinion.

Beale sacked at Rangers after falling 7 points behind already and not qualifying for the Champions League. The guy was all talk

Some people Said that was him the reason of Gerrard good work.😅 Same happened here in Portugal with André Villas Boas and Vítor Pereira. Funny enough, both are flops when they don't have the protection of Porto.
What you think about the return of Rodgers?

I was okay with it. I understood the reasons he left. I think he has won most fans over again after a slow start. Replacing Ange was always going to be tough. The team feels a bit weaker this year with no Jota or Giakoumakis and we need to replace Joe Hart and our lb. If he gets backed I think he can improve us.

They aren't keeping him. He's not been too great for them.
3 games to go.
Celtic are 3 points ahead with better goal difference.
Celtic vs Rangers on Sunday at Celtic Park. A Celtic win puts them 6 clear with 2 left. Rangers win puts them even with 2 left.
So basically for the title.
Feeling relatively confident Celtic get at least a draw veering on a win with Hatate and Maeda back. Going to be stressful though.

Back in the days before the SPL pissed off Sky TV and Sky didn't treat them like an after thought.

One of the most nuts seasons ever. Rangers were pushing for a record 10 titles in a row. The fees back then were on a par with what the big English teams paid. Rangers thought they had a shot at the Champions league back then with Dick Advocaat a couple of seasons later. Celtic were just re-emerging from financial difficulties for most of the 1990's.
Marco Negri was one of the most bizarre signings ever. Was absolutely sensational for half a season then disappeared. Paul Gascoigne and Brian Laudrup left as well although they were done by then. Jonas Thern signed for them, Porrini for Juventus and Gattuso (before he became the player he was at Milan).
Was the first season of Henrik Larsson but Larsson wasn't god by that point. Paul Lambert was a shrewed signing but took some time to get going. One of my favourite goals ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE7aFI2sCwY
We lost Cadete, DiCanio and Van Hoojdonk the season before and it felt like everything was going against Celtic for most of that year.
