Definitely a real derby Rogue All police leave cancelled Fights Really unpleasant vibe inside and outside the ground Some of the people around me, mature adults, with veins popping out of their necks, absolutely raging at supporters on the other side of the ground, swearing, snarling It's embarrassing I hate it and if I can offload my ticket I usually do I've been to a few Old Firm games and load of North London derbies and, whilst it not quite up to that level of hatred, it's pretty intense Where does this enmity come from? Seriously, I don't hate all Sevco fans but a lot of them are right wing loyalists which as you can imagine is anathema to my political beliefs as a Republican and a communist.

Where does this enmity come from? It started in the 70s. It's all here.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brighton_%26_Hove_Albion_F.C.%E2%80%93Crystal_Palace_F.C._rivalrySeriously, I don't hate all Sevco fans but a lot of them are right wing loyalists which as you can imagine is anathema to my political beliefs as a Republican and a communist. Yes. I've met plenty of Rangers supporters who I am sure you'd get on fine with but, as you say, plenty don't fall into that category

It's only a football rivalry thank God for that!
As people, there are some Rangers fans who are good people, however there's always that insidious loyalism/orangeism/British Nationalism lurking in the background which is just a poisoned chalice.
The roots of this are in both Scottish,Irish and British history itself.
In some ways Scottish loyalists are more backward politically as they haven't been through a conflict.

Its gubbed OP.
It just became like a listing ship, just going nowhere as the people who ran it just let it fall into a state of neglect.
It wasn't working at all so Nigey set this site up as an alternative so he's the man to thank for all this.
Good on him😎👍
Hows life treating you?

Aye, still following Celtic mate although I'm not a huge Lennon fan as a manager.
Love him as a person and a player but he baffles me.
Was over in your great city just before the lockdown visiting one of Mrs RP's cousin's just off the Ormeau Rd, been at least 20 years since I was down that way, big changes as you would expect.
