My reason for despising Rags & Dippers is the arrogance of their fans , and the media continually fawning over these football clubs not mentioning the total disrespect they show to their real derby rivals ourselves and Everton , you do get the occasional decent contributor on B/M but the mask always slips at some stage and they revert to being arrogant twats.
Because they have a big fan base , they believe they are still big clubs that are relevant in europe , if that is true then a club like Celtic must be considered a european super power , when in truth all three despite their support are now actually irrelevant in european terms , only ourselves and Chelsea from England have competed consistently in the Champs league over the last decade , whilst the two 'istree clubs struggle to qualify and more often than not do not even get out of the group stages.
Since the takeover and the resurgence of our club the Rags have won three titles in ten years(the last five years ago) , and the Dippers have never won the Premier league, only their deluded followers still consider either a giant club , leave that to Real, Barca , Bayern , Juventus the bonafide giants of european football , hopefully the way our club is progressing we will be among this elite group in the next few years.
Let them have their 'istree and commemorate annually the tragic events that dominate their 'istree , we will quietly and respectfully go about our business and see where it takes us.
