Betty Swallicks Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 With the whole Foster thing going on just now made me think why we still have this "thing" wi rangers.(I actually think its a crock o sh*te and has been made into far too much but.........) A large amount of folk who keep this fire burning don't know the reasons for it as most were not born when it first raised its ugly head. Folk sing about Simmie and think it was "that tackle" that started it but prob most never saw him play. Its remarkable! I detest the huns but not as much as I did twenty odd years ago. If your under the age of say 25 why do you hate the huns and tell me how it all began? I'll guess the majority can't. Link to comment
Foster14 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I hate Rangers because of their dominance in the game and their antics on the field (and what they get away with). Same with Celtic. Link to comment
paddy Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Its the bigotry, and the way the OF are pandered to by the SFA. Its not just rangers, I hate celtic just as much. Link to comment
Tommy Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 This goes back longer than Simpson's tackle.I assume you've never been to ibrox to witness what AFC fans have endured over the years ?What about "the people" invading pitches coz their team was losing ?There's simply too many reasons why i detest the huns and always will.

tup Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Instinct, deep seated hatred, north/south divide, the people who follow that club are by and large vermin who I would not share oxygen with otherwise. It's in my blood, I simply cannot abide Glasgow Rangers and it's followers, or Celtic for that matter. It's nothing to do with on field events, I just canna stand them, and it's part of my mindset. Even bairns hate them, proving it's purely instinctive. Link to comment
Betty Swallicks Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 so, really, youre insinuating that there are folk in our support who just hate rangers because they were brought up that way, much in the same way as younger old firm fans sing sectarian crap, because they weere brought up that way? ergo...were actually not any different? I think there may be a father son pass down of info but I don't think it can be said its at the same level as your lot in the weeg. Personally I find the sight of the younger generation singing about things they have no clue about silly regardless who it is. Link to comment

Tord31 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I hate Rangers because of growing up during the nine-in-a-row. Hate Man United for the same reason. Actively wish them a loss in every domestic match. I support Rangers in Europe and don't care about the English teams overly. Sing no anti-Rangers songs as can't be arsed with that malarky. Look forward to home games against the Huns but can't be arsed with away games against them apart from the token one trip every five years. Link to comment
Old Wing Stand Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I remember back to the time when that fat b*stard Derek Johnstone got Doug Rougvie sent off in a league cup final, I always disliked them but after that it became a hatred Link to comment

Scarface Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 AFC have been so sh*te for the past 10+ years that we barely even register on RFC's radar anymore whereas some Dons fans seem to hate Rangers more than they support Aberdeen which is embarrassing. Link to comment

That is my point Tommy. I'm old enough to mind and ken the reasons but I don't think the majority are. I'm sure you and I could exchange stories of trips and games that would scare the sh*te out of most of todays support. Link to comment

carlos Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 the number of times i have been to places like motherwell or st mirren and folk have started singing about ian durrant whats the relevance ? Link to comment
tup Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 the number of times i have been to places like motherwell or st mirren and folk have started singing about ian durrant whats the relevance ? Console yourself with the thought that these folk who go to away games in such hellholes are probably weegies themselves, and are of the same mindset as the scum in the Rangers and Celtic stands. AFC was a much better club when no Glaswegian accents were heard in our support. Link to comment

I can't tell you how passionate I am about supporting your home team. What about folk born and bred NE Scotland, support "anyone but England" in major tournaments, but support Man Utd/Chelsea/Liverpool/Arsenal etc? Link to comment
tup Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 What about folk born and bred NE Scotland, support "anyone but England" in major tournaments, but support Man Utd/Chelsea/Liverpool/Arsenal etc? Idiots. People who support the above four, and come from Aberdeen in the north of Scotland, are every bit as bad as Celtic and Rangers followers in the area. I hate the English national team, PLUS all their club teams, every one of them, arseholes. Link to comment

StandFree1982 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 There is a facebook page just now. 'Taking your Aberdeen top off after a long hard day of living in the past'. It was created by a Rangers fan. He has a point.I find it ironic that you write this with THAT signature picture. Maybe your just on another boring fishing trip... Link to comment

The English media are the problem VDA they make as big a fuss when any of their clubs win the Champions League if Man Utd had beaten Barcelona we would still be hearing about it yet Link to comment

I remember going along to games when I was about 5 with my Mum and brother and just feeling horrible when it was Rangers or Celtic, it was probably just their presence in the stadium. But that just set me on my way. Don't think it's really hard to justify hating them. Link to comment

K-9 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Used to be a realy good old fashioned hatred between the clubs - sadly now it mostly seems to be jealousy on our behalf. Link to comment
lethal707 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I hate Rangers, Celtic, Hibs, Hearts and any team South of Stoney. I was brought up to hate Rangers and everything Weegie if that makes me a bad person or less of an Aberdeen fan than you well so be it!!! Link to comment
