There is nothing to admire in either cellick or their fhans unless you're being equally sarcastic and ironic.
We didn’t stand by and tug our forelocks while our club was mismanaged into liquidation. There is that.
And yet in 1994 it still happened 👍
Neither administration nor liquidation occurred in 1994. The club was sold from one holding company to another after a massive pressure campaign from our support. 😎
I know Aberdeen fans have rivalry against Rangers .
But my rivalry finishes when the game ends . Not much time for shouting abusive behaviour against any club .
But they are in a minority with most club football fans .

I've got mixed feelings about that sort of thing, Buc.
You can't beat a truly poisonous atmosphere at a game IMO, it really gets the blood pumping. Although as I've gotten older, I feel less of an urge to shout abuse at players or other fans, but there's still something special about a chant sweeping round a large group of people.. even if it's abusive. There should always be limits to abuse though IMO, I'd stop short at something that I know would really hurt or depress someone. As much as it can be fun, we must remember that players and opposition fans are human beings.
However, I just can't understand those who actually hate other people in 'real life' because they support a different team. It makes no sense to me.

I don't know anyone that hates someone just because of who they support.
The most intense game I ever attended was the game of hate in 1999. The atmosphere was utter poison because it was a Sunday tea time kick off the night before a bank holiday and so many people in the stadium were absolutely smashed.
The Mahe red card, the coin at Dallas and it just exploded. Even though we got pumped 3-0 (I think) I enjoyed it. A guy near me fell off the top tier and was stretched away, and cars were being smashed outside the ground. Think McNamara hooked Hateley square in the jaw.
One thing the scenes resulted in was that Dallas got away with him refereeing performance, which was diabolical.

I watched that on the telly! Couldn't get a ticket.
My most intense game was Aberdeen at Pittodrie in 2002. Winters hit by a coin, several fans from the Richard Donald end and the Rangers section split open, guys running on the park, Rangers fan slashed with a seat.. on the park, players taken off for a bit. Utterly poisonous, but probably the most exciting game I'd ever been to, especially when a young BMG was in the front row and it was a Rangers win!
It was obviously brutal for those who were injured, but I'll still look back on it with fond memories of the drama. I believe it was a 6:05PM Sunday kick offs, which were a new thing at the time.
The siege mentality when going up to Pittodrie always made it a brilliant trip.

That only happens in Scottish politics.
Pedro, is there an ignore function on here?

Not sure Coynester. Maybe MrRambo will have discovered it! 😀
Ha ha, it would certainly be nice to have

Your last statement is exactly how I feel .
You also have good points above which I agree with too.

Did McNamara punch Hateley in the Sky studio?
