Oh for any other readers.....

I am referring to celtic v rangers....

Given Rangers current problems that is a bit like celebrating a victory over Stevie Wonder at I-Spy.

[erin-x]

He was beamin!! haha! He's still out galavanting somewhere... he'll crawl in later no doubt :) lol!

[tinkerbell23]

Disagree duncer.

Hahahah erin no doubt x

[tinkerbell23]

Even without the 10pt deduction we turned it around

[Duncer]

You did, but my comment was in reference to the current parlous state of Rangers, not the season just gone. An irrelevant game and an irrelevant result given the real problems that Rangers have.

[Wharton]

massive celtic fan? - did you eat all the pies then?

[erin-x]

I would mistake you for a Rangers fan Duncer if it wasn't for your avatar! ;) lol!

[Duncer]

They're very much a secondary team, but a cherished one. Linfield will always come first as my home town team. I also quite like a few non-league teams.

[tinkerbell23]

Not irrelevant to me....er or any other celtic fan....

Nope not much of a pie eater xx

[Duncer]

tinkerbell23 - the only releveance can be to gloat at a team that is well and truly down and out. The league was already long won and I know of very few, if any, Rangers fans here who really cared about the game - our survival, in whatever format, is infinitely more important than losing to Celtic and their highly ungracious manager.

[tinkerbell23]

Im not prepared to enter into a tit for tat with you...

Just a post to a fellow fan.

Im sure anyone wants their team to win- anytime.

[Duncer]

Not looking for a tit for tat Tinks, just pointing out what I, and a large number of the Celtic fans in work, felt about the fixture. It had little or no meaning.

[erin-x]

Duncer, I'm sure that if it was Rangers who had won yesterday they would be gloating about winning in their circumstances. It works two ways you know.

[tinkerbell23]

Well it had meaning to anyone i spoke to and who were out partying ...

And the players i bet

[erin-x]

Exactly Tink :-)

[Duncer]

Of course it works two way erin, but all the more so when a game actually means soemthing.Aapart from the (and I hate this term) "bragging rights" what else was there to be gleaned from yesterday's encounter? The title was long gone and you were playing a shadow of a team that is deep in crisis, the footballing equivalent of taking the proverbial candy from a baby. If that floats your boat then your ambitions really should be higher.

[tinkerbell23]

Basically- an old firm win anyone on the winning team likes. End of.

If rangers had won yesterday even though the league is over...they would have been delighted, players and fans- purley because they beat their rivals.

Thats normal in any football. You win some you lose some.

[Duncer]

That's missing my point entirely (again), so it is not "end of".

If Rangers had won on Sunday I would have been mildly titilated, as opposed to my normal feelings of utter euphoria when we defeat Satan's storm troopers, purely because the match is irrelevant to me in the grand scheme of things. I'm more concerned about being in existence next season than I am with a meaningless game, as are the vast majority of Rangers fans. My Celtic minded colleagues were also a lot less enthused than normal with the victory, and that is also down to the circumstances.

Sure, a win over rivals is always nice, but circumstances dictate the depth of feeling and enjoyment afterwards, and there was little or no gloating where I work, and that is a real oddity as we normally spend most of the time winding each other up about football, and working of course.
