Hahaha what about those hacks Richmond ignored, there were plenty.

You happy with the tactics employed v rangers clyro?

also I think the links I posted shows that I'm not alone in being curious over this, with even well fans voicing similar opinions.

So not deluded, just curious and a bit unbelieving.

[clyro]

ah so now it's the ref's who are out to get you

k cool

..and no I'm never happy with our tactics away to the Old Firm

[martymc1]

Alright I'm done for sure, putting words into my mouth and not being honest.

Cya clyro.

If I was a Celtic fan playing for Motherwell against Celtic I'd be throwing the tackles in left right and centre and generally doing my best to impress the club enough to consider making an offer in for me.The same applies if I was a hun fan playing against Rangers.I would think this is the mentality for most OF fans playing for other clubs in the SPL.

That been said both David Healys goals for Rangers have come against Motherwell so I'd say a conspiracy is the most likely option in this instance.

he was in the studio for one of our games not too long ago and looked like he had lost alot of weight , think he is on about 7 or 8 goals this season around the same as Robson but has abot the same in assists so playing a big part in recent Boro push for promotion

What because we ****ed it up in 2005?

That Celtic team should have had the league already wrapped up before the last game that year and the fact that we didn't had nothing to do with Motherwell or Skippy or any helicopters for that matter.We took our eye off the ball and it costs us.

You only have to spend 5 minutes on any Celtic forum to see that any hate the fans have for back then is aimed more at our own players performances.

The fact that we were playing Motherwell is irrelevant as we were going to make a balls of if regardless.

**** you rab douglas

[clyro]

I'm referring more to the part where the Motherwell fans were in ecstasy which a lot of Celtic fans take as us being Rangers minded where in reality we'd have been the same if it was Rangers who lost the title on our patch

Trust me I got a lot of grief after that as Celtic fans couldn't understand why it meant so much to us

[BackFromABannin]

I think no matter what club we'd lost to that day would have celebrated like that and good luck to them too.

Any Celtic fans that would question that would be bordering on paranoid IMO.

I think the vast majority of Celtic fans looking back on that time would only have hate towards our own performances though.

That is the problem, both Rangers and Celtic seem to think there is some hidden agenda within other clubs around Scotland. It's like it's against the law to not support either Old Firm club when in fact most non-Old Firm fans probably hate them both equally as much.

I mean if Man Utd went to Stoke on the last day and lost the league and City won which prompted the Stoke fans to go berserk does that mean Stoke prefer City over Utd? I think not, fans of other clubs take pleasure in seeing fans/players of the opposing side fail. It's always been the case. The sooner Celtic and Rangers fans get this then maybe Scottish football can move forward.
