Seen this and thought it was amusing.
'Dundee United' is Nigerian slang for 'person'

Why dont they re name them the crocodiles instead of the arabs ,theyl be biting the hand off charles to tak e some tickets lol doug t.s.o

Try and think forward. I know its hard. What do you think is going to happen when all this bullsh1t turns to actual football ? Dufc will be motivated beyond belief. Your team of away experts will be friendless, to put it mildly, in that stadium. Another big bet chance here. Correct score 6-0. Have any of you thought about this yet ? Remember what inverness did to them ? Forget motherwell, they were full of unmotivated rangers wannabees.
More fun on the horizon. Thanks again Charlie.

Think back. Didnt celtic fans threaten to boycott every away game if clubs votes rangers into the spl? Would you lot of been on here saying clubs deserved to be boycotted? So who in the motherwell squad is a rangers wannabe?

So by that assumption i can claim that dundee uniited and hibs are celtic wanabees?

And under mark mcghee, ex celt, and paul hartley as captain, ex celt, would if be fair to say they were celtic wannabees and laid down to your club? Surely if you paranoid bunch believe teams lay down to us, then all the ex celts lay down to you?

So post 2, you are telling us to forget our grudge in case we get a thrashing...?

Away n' boil yir heid

Celtic fans and any fans can boycott what they want but a club coming out and doing so is wrong in my eyes

Keep reading Celtic minded people saying everyone wants to avoid them in last 16, utter tosh, all 8 seeded teams will be praying for Celtic, real Madrid or Celtic? Give it a break, you would think they have won the cup, there is always 1 lucky team that makes last 16, this year its Celtic, look at last year a team from Cyprus made it through, were are they this year? Please post ed would like thoughts.

Tut tut , the jealousy is oozing right out of you......

many years will it be until The Rangers qualify for last 16.

wether you consider Celtic the lucky team this year, they will still recieve at least £23,000,000....

luck or not they are rolling in it. happy days

We've beaten Barca, Spartak home and away and drawn against Benfica. I think this is a tremendous achievement by NL and the Celtic team. We are probably the minnows in the last sixteen but this suits us as we have already proven that on our day we can compete with the best in Europe. We won't win the CL but are dining at the top table of European football. Be careful not to choke on those sour grapes.
Liah Smit

Look bhoys, your mob tried to demean our European triumphs at every turn....anti-football, park the bus,etc...and I don't recall eulogies pouring in from you when we went 10 games undefeated and 90 minutes away from the Champions league cup final in 1993, or when we set the benchmark for the last 16 qualification in 2006.....but you spent 2 years greetin' about Eduardo diving to get a pen against you, then applauded when Sammy the Greek did the same, and when you beat Barcelona with less possession than one of your ball boys....sour grapes no, just a deep sigh at the usual towering hypocrisy that is in Sellik'sDNA

@2 spartak are very poor, simple! Barcelona look at the stats, a mistake lead to your winning goal, beneficial same story. Our run to the Uefa cup final was seen by some as anti football but you lot are world beaters. Can almost hear the bump you come back to earth with at the weekend, half empty stadium and a load of excuses about being tired! PB

They won enough games, got more points than the lower 2 teams and qualified. The table doesn't lie, they did a great job qualifying from a difficult group. bigbaz

Number 5 how many point did u win on the way to the final? Did you score as many goals as Celtic have in the group stages, no. How has accumulated the most points by a Scottish team in the group stages, ranges? No celtic

Well done to Celtic for reaching the Last 16 of the CL i for one didnt think they had a hope in hell when the draw was made its a great achievement but lets not kid ourselves bhoys Celtic carried a lot of luck this time they deservedly beat Spartak away from home won at home with a dodgy penalty got out played in both games by Barca but managed to sneak a win against play and deserved their draw against benfica

luck played a big part in Celtics progression to the last 16, that i dont grudge you what i do grudge you is the penalty when the big Greek disaster dived in the box. i cant stand a player who takes a dive and that includes Rangers players as well and believe me we have had more than our fair share of those.

Lochaber Bear

FFS, sick of this. Cause some dreg Celtic fans decry your achievement we're all tarnished. Scotland can't play expansive attacking fitba in Europe, we'd get pumped. Well done Rangers for getting to the UEFA final and well done Celtic for qualifying. Proud of you.

Shuggy

@6....another piece of fiction ...Rangers accumulated 8 points in 1992-93 under old 2 points for a win system,or 10 under 3 points for a win system adopted later...Celtic would have got 7 points under old system...if you want to create imaginary records, know your history ,mate.....and the UEFA champions league started in 1992,so WE hold the record, not you.

Celtic have done really well to get to the last 16 on the champions league and it's a great achievement. However I really don't think teams like Bayern, Man utd, Juventus & Dortmund will be wanting to avoid anyone let alone Celtic.

Tell me how an anti football team can finish a group with barca, benfica and spartak on 10 points, the fact is there's teams won a group with 10 points, the squad was assembled for £16m absolutely fantastic achievement and there is not one of you bears wouldn't want that yourselves.
Rangers should get their heads down, stop the cr@ppy press and get on with it.

Nobody is expecting to go any further but we'll enjoy trying.
Cos it's a grand old team - win, lose or draw!
Somebody should write a song about that!

Foxy

Whether we like it or not Samaras was pushed if contact is made it was a foul I agree it was a soft penalty but it was a penalty. Best of luck to them over the six games they deserved it, it can only be good for Scottish football. Just wish we were playing there instead of them.
Bobby

For all the rangers supporters going in about the big geek diving and how bad that was! I have seen many a diving rangers player in my time so before trying to claim the high ground maybe look at some of your lovencrabs or novo for some shocking examples! It is a part of our game love it or not! And in Defence of septic I remember watching their uefa cup final and thinking Porto were diving all over the place and pretty much won that one that day for diving and even getting one of their players sent off! And sadly I must admit that that septic team was probably the last scottish team that was able to play attacking football in Europe!
But they did well to qualify in that group and even the bitterest of rangers supporter has to admit that! Cos if you don't then you seriously need help!
And the best way to look at it is any good results benefits us all in the future! Just hope they can keep it up for another four years at least!

It was a certain LIONEL MESSI who said rangers were anti football. I think he knows what hes talking about.

Yes celtic will be massive underdogs for the last 16, but a lot of the bigger clubs will view Celtic as a banana skin and might be wary of them. Give Celtic a little credit.

All this Anti-Football p*sh needs put to bed, both teams have played that style because they had to, to stop getting a probable doing - Celtic's win was a great result, a scottish team punched above it's weight, just as our 0-0 was as it kept Barca at arms length. Messi spat the dummy out, as he wasn't allowed to walk over the opposition like he normally enjoys.

Samaras did what all forwards do, defender touches him - he goes to ground. Happens day in day out - Europe, SPL, EPL you name it, it goes on. To try to point score of each other is lame. Samaras got lucky, the ref gave the penalty. Sometimes you get the decision, other times you don't.

@17 Bigbaz I am beginning to get worried, that's another sensible post,wish all the knuckle dragger's on both side's of the divide used their head like you.

@18. Don't say that Tam, i'll probably b*gger up my next post and upset everyone. Lol. bigbaz

Everton's Steven Naismith, 26, is paying out of his own pocket for Christmas dinner for homeless people in Liverpool. The Scotland international is sponsoring the meal at the Whitechapel Centre, a charity that works with people sleeping rough, living in hostels or struggling to manage their accommodation.

From BBC (believe it or not)
A bit of (tenuous) Rangers-related good news.

Paddy Malarkey

Nice gesture from him. Just wish he didn't leave the club the way he did, but i understand why. bigbaz

Considering the rather large signing on fee he would have gotten he should be doing his bit, as should more footballers.

Pity you fail to mention the fact that he was originally asked to sponsor the meal at a liverpool hotel, giving the homeless people a chance to use the facilities, get washed and get some new, donated clothes and even have a swim. Instead he plumped for the cheap option, where a bulk of food from the cash and carry is purchased for £400 and a student from the local college who regularly volunteers at the centre cooks it whilst other volunteers serve it. Try and read the whole facts of a story before holding the man up as a social hero. Just a bit of cheap publicity. If it would've cost him any more he wouldn't have done it.

Bigbaz

He deserted the club in our hour of need and showed no loyalty for the club that got him through 2 serious knee injuries. He is an imposter and should never be welcomed back at Ibrox

Steven Naismith made a similar gesture last xmas (http://tinyurl.com/a75vfj6).
A good guy with his priorities in the right order! Well done Naisy!
ThatsNotMyName

@4. You did read what i had posted? I said i wish he didn't LEAVE the club the way he did. I don't disagree with most of what you're saying, but i understand why he did what he did.

bigbaz

Bigbaz

Point taken mate. Just really annoyed with the way him and other so called Rangers fans walked out on the club. Even if they had negotiated a deal that would have let them leave for £500k we would have got some money in for them. At the time no one really knew if Rangers would survive and the money could have been the difference between survival and extinction

@7. I know where you are coming from, i would rather he stayed and we got something for him. Most Rangers fans felt betrayed when these players just upped sticks and left, I was not impressed either, they let the fans down.

Naismith got wind of a chance of playing football at a higher level in the EPL with Everton, he had to take it - it might have been his only chance, that's why i fully understand his reason for leaving.

I have the utmost respect for the players that stayed with us and glad they did, but personally, i will not denigrate those players that chose to leave.

If Rangers did go out of business completely, as most of the Celtic fans seem to intimate and revel in then why we were they allowed by law to keep clubs crests, sponsor, all of the trophies in the Blue Room? In short trade under the same image as Rangers Football Club always has. Surely copyright laws would have been infringed here...No?

Did Fiorentina not have to adopt a new badge for a few seasons and then were allowed to buy the image rights for the old crests, strip colours, image to be adopted again by the new club?

I would love to hear a reasonable, honest and proper debate on all of this to put it to bed once and for all. Possibly thoughts from someone in the know about copyright law.

This is the way I see it...the bible for instance has 66 books in it right. Do you ever hear of people referring to it as two stand alone books or just simply the bible? 39 for the old testament and 27 for the new one. No it's referred to as the bible, much the same way as Rangers will always be referred to as Rangers!

Why were you not seeded in the first round of the Scottish cup? Why when the season started were you not deducted points at the start for still being in administration?

Bman

I'm sure BDO will clear all these matters up for you in time.

But BDO only just installed, and as liquidators THEY decide who owns what. Including crests, names and trophies.

Green bought all this for just £1. and thus stuffed creditors even more and even most hardended gers fans would agree the value of the trophy cabinet is more than £1 even if melted from scrap.

If "Rangers" is sold, you cannot use it even in "International Rangers".... EasyJet - have shown that can bully anyone who tries to use "Easy" in a webname.

Why did "The rangers"fans not boycott Tannadicefor the previous 2 seasons if this is nothing to do with what was said during administration? according to john "the cl*wn"Brown

Jeeso, you're a bitter wee tube. Many fans did and continue to stay away from DUFC since the ticketing fiasco and off course the current boycott has a lot to do with what was said during our admin process. We didn't like it, it has been completely over the top and ultimately unjustified. Many made a feast of Rangers when we were at deaths door, reveled in it and now you'd have us believe that were being petty to voice our displeasure at enduring your tormenting, bating and bile.
Guess it was too much to expect you'd be man enough to apologies but to continue to try and justify your hatred just reveals who Scotlands real shame is.

They did they went from 5400 tickets to approx 3900 drop of 1500 next point timmy??

@2: why do you, and others, automatically assume anything you don't like has been posted by a Celtic fan?

And 1500 fewer tickets isn't much of a boycott considering 3900 were still sold.

@3. Because most usually are. bigbaz

07 Dec 2012 17:11:37
@4: how do you know? Many don't leave names or details of who they support. Many on here posting questions or concerns about Rangers are Rangers fans but they're accused of being Celtic fans and referred to as 'Timmy'. You have to realise that there are fans of many clubs who post on here to have banter about Rangers. Just because it's not what you want to hear, it doesn't automatically make them Celtic fans. It's quite narrow-minded just to assume all of the time or claim that 'most of them are' when, in all honesty, you haven't a clue if that's true.

1903

There's no refunds for matches that reach half time fact.
It went to a court of law and decided no refunds fact.
What did u want dun Utd to do? Break the law?

Anyway this boycott has nothing to do with the abandoned game. According to green and the board it's all about punishing Thomson personally for what he said. Feelings are still raw apparently.

Thomson only told the truth, no more.
