OLD FIRM IS THE BEST

[KieranO168]

Where is the Old Firm in this fo' shizzle?

[GeordieAggro80]

hahaha who are these absolute knobheads? Tottenham Arsenal??? That would strugle to be in the top 10 and considering the question was British Derby Lazio Roma is a bullshit answer! then knobhead number 3 takes all awards by saying MK Dons and Wimbledon??!?!?!

Celtic Rangers easily number 1 in Britain - no contest

@Gdyear1916 noob English fan eh?yeah only invented the sport, only home to the top league in the world and a national team thats won the world cup and is ranked in the top 5.Why cant we be non noob fans like the Scottish and Irish with all their high level football teams and leagues?LOL @ being proud of sectarian violence and racism.Theres plenty of animosity in English derbies but end of the day its about whos better on the pitch,not overshadowed by religious and political bigotry.

[Gdyear1916]

@ministryOFmuff No,that's exactly what makes a good derby,and that's what all derbies are like outside England - the absolute hatred.Which you don't understand because you're a noob English football fan. Religious aspect - Rangers,Political aspect - Celtic and as for the fan base only in Scotland? I just proved to you that both have huge fan bases outside Scotland? So cheerio!

[ministryOFmuff]

@Gdyear1916 Old firm derby is just scummy bigotry and petty religious/political violence carried from Belfast to Glasgow. They're the only decent,big teams in Scotland (which is why they get so much support between them there) but they're still fuck all compared to teams like Man united,LFC, Barca, Arsenal, AC Milan etc.Just because the fans are violent, bigoted scumbags who stab each other more than other fans doesnt make it a good derby,It makes it a fucking disgrace to the sport.

@ministryOFmuff fail.

[Gdyear1916]

@ministryOFmuff Really?Celtic have the second most amount of supporter clubs in the world,Rangers have the fourth most amount (FourFourTwo mag). Celtic sold out their allocation in an Australian tour within 4 hours last Summer. In Northern Ireland,it's Celtic or Rangers.In Scotland,it's Celtic or Rangers or another Scottish team,then over here in Ireland it's Celtic or a local Irish team (the odd pockets of glory hunting Man United/LFC fans down the east coast) - Celtic have 17 CSC's in England.

@Gdyear1916 Dont be so bitter that as usual nobody cares about you small timers up north.

[Gdyear1916]

typical English noobs lol - "We have won more trophies than you","we are from the same area as you!","but we beat you guys in the cup final in 1978!!" = NOOOBS

Irish Republicanism (Celtic) v British Unionism (R*ngers) fucks all.
