A lot of the players than play for the clubs today will not understand it, Gazza made an effort when trying to play the flute, the wrong way, in front of the Celtic fans. He thought it was banter, its not, theres pure hatred between large parts of both sets of fans. I find it hard to see how there can be banter between the two teams, there are many that can have a laugh between each other, theres a hell of a lot that don't, and theres plenty that just want to kill each other even now.
You can't take that element away from either club, and they merely say its just banter now. Its about as far from it as it ever was. |
A lot of what you say makes sense. Your always going to get die hard fans as Rangers have found out after a few recent run-ins with UEFA regarding songs been sung.
What annoys me is the younger generations who just follow like 'sheep', making remarks and singing songs and are totally ignorant to the meaning... They just follow the crowd and sing and make remarks because
'that's what you're suppose to do' as either a Rangers or Celtic fan - crazy!
