Originally posted by baracustasticI actually stopped going to watch Rangers because I got so fed up with looking at, and listening to, the FTP brigade. However, in many ways Aberdeen fans are no better than the old firm fans. They have the most vicious hooligan element amongst their fans and most of their hatred towards the old firm is simply jealousy. And I won't even begin to mention the whole sheep thing...
At the top of the hate list are the religious bigots residing in the castle of darkness................Glasgow Rangers FC. I loathe them like I loate nothing else, even the mere mention of them turn my stomach. Their fans actually sing about being "up to their knees in Fenian blood," they sing the English anthem, they support paramilitary groups. The club sell official "tangerine" merchandise, knowing full well the sectarian nature of the colour in Scotland. They are scum. More reasons: Gazza, Mark Hately, Graeme Souness.....hell there's a long line of dirty, evil gits that have played for them.Nae far behind are the the other half of the bigot brothers. Celtic FC. Their fans sing pro-I.R.A chants, they wave their Irish flags and like Rangers fans most of them are glory-hunters.
Between the pair of them they have smothered Scottish football. They sign the other teams best players for a pittance only to let them rot in the reserves while they import a lot of overrated, overpaid forgein mercenaries then moan because we can't provide the competition they need to compete in Europe. Tell Rosenborg, or PSV, or Ajax they've dominated their leagues for ages and do better than the OF every year.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Oh and "Dirty, evil gits"? Yeah right, you're obviously too young to remember Neil Simpson, or those famous cheats Miller and McLeish.
Aberdeen had the most infamous casuals. This cannot be condoned or ignored.
Jealousy? Maybe the decade after Fergie left that was a factor. Now we are under no illusions. We cannot compete financially and therefore cannot dominate the way we did.
The general consensous (sp) among dons fans is that the OF are built and thrive on sectarianism. That is abhorrant. Building success on the back of hatred, violence and intolerance id shameful, yet the fans take pride in it. There is still much anger from the days when Aberdeen used to be ruined every time the OF and their fans, especially Rangers, came north.
We shag sheep. Better than Mrs Mols. 😉 😘
Neil Simpson was an international midfielder and one of the best in the country. It was a bad tackle on Durrant and the peak of a match full of hard, ugly tackles. That tackle ruined Simpson's career, the reaction was way over the top. Durrant played for another decade.
That tackle is not by any means the worst incident to happen in a Dons-Gers game. Are you too young to remember Aberdeen's John McMaster having to be given the kiss of life after having neck stamped on by one of the many dirty gits to play for Rangers?
Willie Miller is God. McLeish did a fine job at Rangers with PLG currently reaping what Eck had sown. In all seriousness, those two were the best defensive partnership our country has produced, that is reflected by their caps totals.

I know. It almost...ALMOST...caused their fans to actually give a damn about the team.
You probably don't root for the Hawks so you don't understand that Seattle loves their Seahawks, we have been with the Hawks through their highs and lows so don't say we don't care about our team....
