sbcmfc Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) Certainly had potential to be a bloodbath, but seems to have passed off without incident. Well done old firm fans, for not stabbing each other. Edited January 3, 2017 by sbcmfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlueGaz Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Non OF fans crave the worst scenarios possible and border on dillusion and obsession with their comments and predictions. Tamb is a particular hotbed for these two traits. It keeps me amused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Tims and huns licking each others arses. Who would have thunk it, eh ? Â P.S. Not that I got involved in, or even saw, a thread predicting a 'bloodbath', but congratulations to both sets of fans for keeping their afternoon's fun down to 90 minutes of good old fashioned sectarian bile and bigotry. You're a credit to Scotland Edited January 4, 2017 by Rossy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theweestevie Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 There was an interesting "discussion" on BBC Scotland about 90 minutes before the match. They were going on about the controversial fixture and how there was going to be carnage and fighting on the streets and that it was a stupid idea to hold it on hogmany and surprised the idiot police let it go ahead. One of the pundits piped up and said that the media always made it out to be worse than it was, and that she has travelled pre and post match through the city centre on multiple Rangers-Celtic games and has never seen any trouble. She said she used to be scared to take her kids with her when out and about when these games are on but now she doesn't give it a second thought. The host asked her if she wasn't scared to travel when the matches were on and she said no and the host killed the conversation there rather abruptly without letting anyone else getting involved in the conversation, it was almost like they didn't expect/want her to say what she said. They were also talking about the policing costs and said that these games cost on average 45k more per game to police than the average game. They went on to claim that the last 6 games had cost over 2m to police which was covered by the tax payer. I think they need to check there maths on that one.

Having been in Glasgow for the OF fixture I can't say I have seen fighting in the streets but this is down to the huge police operation in place to help prevent it. I am sure the odd scuffle breaks out in pubs later on but it isn't the war zone its made out to be. However the fact it needs a massive police operation when these two teams meet is still a problem, if the police weren't there the bams in each support would take advantage. Three arrests were reported at the match, two inside the ground and one just outside. Surely the problem isn't within the match itself but the aftermath? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the problem isn't within the match itself but the aftermath? Definitely.  I haven't seen trouble at a match for a very long time.  The police presence on Saturday 'seemed' to be absolutely huge compared to what I have seen in the past.  Would agree that it is only this presence that prevents issues at the game itself, and you are right, thats a problem in itself.  I know what the answer should be, but its not going to happen, unfortunately.

sbcmfc Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I did predict a proverbial bloodbath. It is always noted that the "bloodbath" is rarely in or around the ground or even in the city itself, it's in towns across Lanarkshire, and presumably Ayrshire, Renfrewshire etc. Didnt hear of any bother, but then most of the pubs near me don't even open their shutters on an old firm day and close completely about 5pm in fear of potential bother based on past experiences.

Pool Q Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 There is rarely trouble in the ground these days, the worry is always that the combination of the game and a full day's drinking will lead to trouble elsewhere, especially in the pubs. There is a story, very possibly apocryphal, of more people having been arrested in Cupar after a pub boxing match between rival fans in the aftermath of an OF game years ago than were arrested on the same day in Glasgow for offences in any way connected to the OF game. It certainly appears that there wasn't much trouble this time around, and that is very obviously a good thing. It doesn't necessarily follow though that it was a good idea to play the game at the time that they did on the 31st of December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scot scotland scottish Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I was in Glasgow city centre (4pm ish) after the match and unless I knew any better, you wouldn't have thought there had even been a game on. Saw as many Partick and Dundee Utd fans as I did Rangers and Celtic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely nothing happened in Renfrew and I haven't heard of anything in Paisley either. It would appear the idiots managed to contain their Stupidity this time round. This might be because the anticipated result happened without anyone taking a tanking or any on pitch daftness.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossy Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 There's never a 'bloodbath' when the OF meet because there's a constant cosy familiarity between OF fans. They're in each others company all the time, and week about they share the city. Why should there be any trouble ? It's not as if a hun wanders into Glasgow and sees a tim for the first time in 12 months so thinks he's gonna lamp him there and then, or vice versa. Despite their denials, they have shared interests and they have more in common with each other than they have differences. Two cheeks an' all that.
