Guest Flying Hippo Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 It's weird; i've heard a few (maybe 4 or 5) Rangers fans down the years say they support Celtic in Europe because "they're Scottish" (are they?) or "it's good for the co-efficient" but i have never once heard of a Celtic fan supporting us in Europe Screw'em 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Personally want them to lose every European match. Other Scottish teams the better they do its all good. I do laugh if the other Scottish teams get a humping though like Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,709 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I hold my hands up and admit I laughed when Motherwell lost last year - was it to Llanelli or someone? Some mickey Mouse Welsh team. I usually do want the other Scottish teams to do well, but the Tims are the exception I'm afraid. I despise Man U too and always say there has only ever been one time that I have wanted them to win - yip you guessed it at the Bheggardome 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gers4Life 0 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I will never ever want Celtic to do well in any competition, regardless of how it impacts on us I hope they lose both legs of the 1st qualifier 10-0 Yes i agree on this one aswell :devil: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 919 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Bit of a catch22. On one hand if they dont progress we gain more revenue this year. Yet if they do progress then it helps Scottish seedings points for future CL campaigns which we will desperatly need. If we retain most of our current squad and team morale id be quietly confident of us winning the league in the next year or 2. I like to see Scottish teams do well in Europe. I enjoy seeing Celtic get stuffed but i admit i have wanted them to win on occasion to give the middle finger up to some people who look down on the Scottish league. Yes it is a poor league but I still dont like outsiders calling it a joke when the OF have both reached euro finals in the last 7 years. The only reason other leagues are superior now is down to SKY's money. Before that then 4 or 5 Scottish teams were able to compete with any English side. Seeing Celtic beat Liverpool and Blackburn in 2003 was quite good but Porto winning the final topped it all. Its a bit like England at the World Cups. Good to have an interest in them being there but great to see them get knocked out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say, it was good to see them punctured in Seville at the last hurdle. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hate the arrogance of some people about our league with the population of our country getting to a Euro final is a fantastic achievement, but we still get criticised . I also agree with you on the Sky money, English clubs have been spreading it about Europe (for a few years now) and Standard Liege are getting fees of �£15m from Everton for Fellaini. Where as the English leagues sort of see us a feeder league and won't pay huge sums of money. I know we got some good money for Cuellar and Hutton but if they were anywhere else they probably would have went for double that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
