Hang on aren't you the one that lambasts Celtic fans for having a go at refs in Scotland?? I believe you said that we were making excuses for how sh*t we were.. so your excuse is????

You're right there.. not many old firm games or the English old firm (United, Liverpool) games are actually good games.

They are brilliant if you win and sh*te if you lose. And for the neutrals...the games hardly ever live up to the billing, but the game itself is not everything I think, it's the atmosphere, the emotion, the controversy etc. That's why we love it eh!?

its epic for a player but how can that match be epic for a utd fan ? it was won by a diving koont and a ref wearing a red shirt
i dont support any team but love watching the game,and being neutral you still get emotionally involved
if any utd fan says that was an epic game then in my view they have lost the essence of what makes a game of football good
it was a pile of shite and a disgracefull display by the officials and was won by a cheat berbatov and aided by an incompetent official,could of been any player on another day,just happened to be him
the game has gone mad,,too much money too many *****+ involved and agents etc,,cheating has become an intrinsic part of the game
needs a radical overhaul,but truth is it will never happen as theres too much money involved
