Yep fraid so, and tbh it is unusual to have one left over let alone 3. I think they may be easier to get again soon when they start playing each other a gazillion times a season like it was a few years back. They play each other in the semis at Hampden next month, so start searching now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sglosbcfc Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 In Scotland you can still tackle without the ref throwing yellow cards about like confetti.

'Orns Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 To the lads that go up and support Celtic - serious question...... I'm going to presume that you may well have Irish blood in the family, but how do they feel about 'English' lads going up and following them? Could you find yourself in a difficult situation at all? I was always Rangers when I was younger, mainly due to the English lot that went up and played for them, and always fancied going up and watching an OF game. Will get round to it one day, as a neutral now. Atmosphere looks amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely advise getting up to watch a game, even if you lean towards the blue side. Been over a decade since I last attended a derby game and it still gives me chills thinking back to it.

I have no idea how many OF games I have been to, must be 20 odd (and that includes games at Hampden where both sets of fans have to travel )and I have never seen a single bit of trouble in or near the ground. This tends to be down to how well policed it is, and the efforts the police go to keeping the sets of fans apart. If you go to a city centre pub before or after the game you have no chance of getting in wearing colours, and each set of fans tend to go to 'their' pubs. The trouble that does happen tends to be way after the game has finished and beer has been drunk, and tends to be in the outlying areas. If you want to avoid trouble it is very easily done.

My uncle supports airdrie and for some reason I always liked Inverness! I remember when Inverness had three teams....Inverness Thistle, Inverness Clachnacuddin and Caledonian... Partick fans seriously dislike Airdrie for what they did to Clydebank.....Airdrie Utd went bust in 2002 then they took over Clydebank, closed that club down, relocated them to Airdrie and changed their name to Airdrieonians FC overnight, leaving Clydebank fans with no club....disgraceful... I went to a cracking game at Clydebank once when the game I was on route to (Aberdeen vs Partick) was called off. Clydebank lost 2-3 to Dunfermline that day, and Wet Wet Wet were at the game as they sponsored Clydebank at the time. Also Airdrie were known as 'Little Chelsea' - they were hooligan wannabes and tried to form the same relationship with Chelsea that Rangers have...to no avail. I went to Partick vs Airdrieonians a while back and it went bang off during the game when the visitors unfurled huge Chelsea and England flags, hilarious stuff! PS: little known fact, Clydebank had the UK's first all seater stadium, a lot of people think it was Pittodrie or Coventry but I believe the Bankies got there first!
