Bigot derby, Sky Sports One, noon K.O.

***Hibernia&Alba*** · 29-04-2017 06:55 AM

Perhaps the last chance to prevent Celtc going the whole season unbeaten, though I can't see Rangers getting more than a draw at best. What do you think?

Not watched any of the old firm games this season and unlikely to see this one. Can't really raise any enthusiasm for the fixture these days and not really that fussed who wins. Mind, a Rangers win could be a laugh to scupper Celtic's unbeaten run though.

90 minutes of sectarianism, a debate on here about who's worse, a statment from the SPFL praising there only being 6 arrests whilst ignoring the fact anyone with the sound turned up in their TV will think Scotland is full of backward, bigoted barstewards, an insightful comment from Andy Walker at the end about how 'it's been great having the biggest derby in the world back' and in between all that Celtic to win by a couple.

That's my prediction.

Plus referee ignores an obvious straight red and is praised for managing the game. Commentators drool over the great atmosphere whilst in the background are songs about religious hatred and murder. No coverage of the aftermath of the hundreds of 999 calls dealing with the violent fallout all over West central Scotland.

What's not to like?

Loads then. Had a tour of Ambulance service call centre few years back and showed large screen monitoring calls and the guy said OF game all the calls were red which signified 999.

Nailed it.

***NORTHERNHIBBY*** · 29-04-2017 07:40 AM

This game has nothing to do with football.

***Keith_M*** · 29-04-2017 07:45 AM

TBH, I don't know what would be worse; reading every day in the paper about 1) Celtc going a season unbeaten or 2) DerHun finally 'returning to greatness' by actually winning a game.

Option 2 is worse for me

The longer The Rangers are made to suffer for their cheating the better.

Agreed.

Its great fun watching the huns suffer defeat every time. How long before the real huns show themselves by way of tearing up places as they become ever enraged at the prospect of forever being old firm pushovers?

glory glory

**Albanian Hibs** · 29-04-2017 08:23 AM

Wont be watching it. Will be on my way to Ayr.

Yep. Our main street was in lockdown last night to allow them to have their hate parade. A more loathsome group of people you'll never meet.

That's my prediction.

No one outside of Scotland will have a clue what they are singing about.

Can you honestly make out the words of songs when, for example, West Brom play Swansea?!

When Barca play Real Madrid I'm sure there's a few tasty songs get sung too, does anyone take offence or judge the entire country by them? I doubt it.

Nobody outside of Scotland gives a damn about the old firm game, its fans or it's songs.

Ditto, I'll be on my way to attending the only match that matters to me this weekend.

As for the Old Firm game, I hope it's a boring 0-0 draw, both teams reduced to 8 players, both managers sent to the stand, 500 fans from each team arrested and congestion outside Ibrox that's so bad it takes both sets of fans 4 hours to get home after the game.

Apart from that, I hope everyone enjoys the game.

***Hermit Crab*** · 29-04-2017 08:42 AM

Don't give a **** about this game. Ayr away today.

I don't think this is true. It's one of the biggest club games in the world; the only Scottish fixture that attracts a global audience.

I couldnae give a F about this game, but, I do enjoy watchin the Hun gettin humped

If we believe the hype that surrounds it

Lets go with that being true though. Picture fans in bars in Turin, Madrid, Boston, Buenos Aires etc sitting down to watch the game.

Does anyone seriously believe that they are trying to work out the words of the songs being sung then turning to their mates going "see those Scottish folk, they're uneducated bigots the lot of them"!!

Highly unlikely I'd suggest!

Coming from the west, I would normally leave the motorway at Govan but because of the likely hold-ups caused by the knuckle-draggers I'll have to leave at Paisley which is a bit more convoluted.
