God mate.Me comparing Michael Mols to Henrik Larsson has you well rattled.lol Of course i then decided to bring Brian Laudrup to the table.At the last second, i dealt my strongest card to win the argument, and you couldn't handle it.Anyway mate there's a few Rangers football clubs like.So if you are on about the one in Glasgow, then be more specific about that in the thread title.Take it easy mate.The bile hatred and venom is eating you up on the inside.:)
 

I always find these threads funny.

Inter and AC Milan are irrelevant until you actually live in Milan.

I've lived in Glasgow for a bit and Wow, talk about big clubs, I had no idea until I was in Glasgow. It's beyond football and by that I don't mean secterimism which is obviously a layer of what goes on there but that's a narrow and presumptive far away perception. It's a culture, community and identity and hard to describe, it's beyond football which just acts as the trigger.

Celtic and Rangers are just huge and it's fanatical.

I would advise people if they get a chance to go and experience it.

I think this thread was a desperate attempt to generate hate at Rangers.Which people are entitled to do.But the person who started this thread, just did it to have a cheap pop off me.Posts like this one is not what @larbert toffee wanted when he created this thread.But yeah the old firm derby it's just something else.It's just raw and tribal passion at it's most purest.There is a bigoted element obviously that follow both clubs.But with most supporters of the old firm, it's a fierce and massive sporting rivalry, and despite the cliched narrative, fans of both clubs are able to get on with each other.The reaction on both sides to the deaths of Davie Cooper and Tommy Burns was living proof of that.

They are both really amazing clubs for so many factors and the dynamic between them is just so powerful, history, tragedy, legendary figures, culture, etenicty, identity, history, unprecedented success and abject failure it has it all. The scale is always tipped toward one or the other on any of the above resulting in extreme joy or utter pain that transcends football.

I really find some of the posts about them very very naive. Like I say you know nothing about until you have lived or experienced it. It's beyond just a footballing expierence it's a life experience.

It's hard to believe that this was 20 years ago.The sight of Gaza making his way off the pitch when being subbed, always makes me laugh for some reason.Richard Gough's tears.The sheer driving force and passion of that 9 in a row chant.That night when Rangers secured the 9 in a row, was just a very raw and emotional footballing moment.

I doubt there are too many other Cork men who echo your sentiments.
 
And on the subject of the 9 in a row.This was when it was more or less as good as won.Celtic kicked the living daylights out of Brian Laudrup all game, but he just kept on picking himself up, and kept on running the show!Mark Hateley and Malkay Malkay got sent off, and Paulo Di Canio, got sent after the final whistle after running away from Ian Ferguson.
