Last time I was up here I saw Arbroath and very good it was too. Tomorrow my son in law is taking me to a Rangers pub in Larkhall to see the above. Good job he’s 6 foot 4 and 20 stone - my Celtic supporting Mrs thinks I’m mad. Been told to just go along with it etc and not take the piss. Which will find a tad difficult. Thinking of wearing Stoke shirt - with the Loving Cup connection I should be ok. Pub will be mobbed by 11am. Kick off at 12. I’m not drinking - too early for me but I’ve a feeling I may have to - can’t let the side down when wearing the shirt. At 58 I should know better but I invariably don’t. Hopefully I’ll remember that the art of taking the piss is to do it without the ‘victim’ knowing they’re the subject or urine removal.

Genuine questions:
Which set of supporters is more bigoted?
Do they realise they are both bigoted?

I hope to watch it.

I know this is the oatcake website mainly about Stoke city, but why are we having posts about Celtic vs Rangers?

Genuine questions: Which set of supporters is more bigoted? Do they realise they are both bigoted? They are both as bad as each other in their own way. Sectarianism here is awful. The only Subway take away in the uk with no green in the branding is up here. Because green is Celtic and Subway in a Rangers area. It’s mad. My Mrs will not go to this fixture as the atmosphere is pure hatred. Some going when away fans aren’t there at either fixture. |

If you need a derby drop down a few miles and watch Blyth Spartans v South Shields. I'm sure you can give South Shield a shout for old times sake  Oh and the quality of football is better too. |

I went to Ibrox in the late 90's. Friend took me to a working men's club and they had the full lot going on. A flute band and non stop loyalist songs, never felt at ease with it all. I value my life so kept my Roman Catholic at birth bit to myself!!!!
Was worth it though to see Brian Laudrup in the flesh, what a player he was.

I know this is the oatcake website mainly about Stoke city, but why are we having posts about Celtic vs Rangers? Because people are interested in it. It's fairly obvious from the title what it's about, so it's easy enough to just ignore if you're not interested. Well, you'd think it would be, anyway. |

If you research ‘ The Loving Cup’ you’d be aware that there is a connection. If I’ve offended you by posting about something other than Stoke then ……( fill in the blanks ) |

I have worn a crucifix for years without thinking about. I’ve been strongly advised to either remove or hide it tomorrow. Which is ridiculous. |

My brother has been to a number of old firm matches and said it’s mental, mainly drinking and pissed up fans having a go at one another.

Me too. I don't have access to the internet anyway. What's the internet? 🤪 My dad worked up there for a couple of years and said as long as there was a picture of the queen in the pub he'd be OK, this was the 70's, I'm sure there's more tolerance now! 🤣 |
