Where the feck were you last Saturday? Only 18000 bother to turn up at Celtic Park for the Dumbarton game.
Could some of you Celtic supporters out there please explain to me why you persist in this rediculous claim?

KB- Firstly , Rangers have never claimed to be the "Greatest supporters in the world".Secondly, winning some FIFA fair play award certainly does not entitle you to this claim.

LF- Again , we have never bestowed this title on ourselves. Our town has a population of 50000, so for us to get 8000 at a game is as big an achievement as Celtic getting 60000 at home. And while I,m on the subject of support, you recently called me a bad loser. I've been brought up with defeat, this happens on a regular basis when you follow a provinsial club. We accept it as part and parcel of football.
Unlike yourselves who look for every conspiricy theory going when defeated. Blame "bent" officials, have them followed, any excuse other than the truth.
You can accuse me of a lot of things, but "bad loser", naw, look to your own for that

LF- That was not an excuse, that was a reason!!!
"Bent officials", now thats an excuse.

Cindy- In case you hadn't noticed dear, I despise both sides of the Old Firm. I give credit where credit is due but all the pompousity about being the world's greatest supporters?
Wait till I get started on Walter Smith? Almost as big an imposter as Tommy Burns.

JeffC-Good to have you back on board mate, I hope your wee rest has re-charged your batteries for the battle ahead with the Old Firm posse.

Well Dicko darlin, I do think you are leaving yourself open to a bit of a mauling about our pitiful support!
You really are getting a bit annoyed about these paranoid and bitter Tic's, aren't you love. It would be nice to see LF and KB answer a question about their club without being defensive but it's not gonna happen while they view the world thru green goggles! So back to cricket and music for you now my Sweet where you are appreciated and leave those two alone to their delusions of grandeur until their next European game!!! x x
As for the 80,000 fans, how many kids missed their maths o grade that day because the families thought it was more important to take their kids to Spain for a wee holiday than to ensure they could count their dole money!!

RE KB response .. I love the Sevillamomometer 80K ??? wheres the proof? I think it started at about 40, then 45, 50, 65 now 80. In 10 years time the self proclaimed best fans in world will be claiming there was 250,000 fans in Seville. And as for the award guess UEFA overlooked the majority of the Sellick fans who shamefully booed the winning team when they were presented with the trophy they fairly & deservadly won.

Well Dicko I was one of the 18 thousand! What is it with you! Is it just Celtic you dislike, Celtic supporters or Both? I mean a little variety now and again would be nice. Can we dislike someone else for a change please! .
Erbud. I don't know how many supporters were in Seville but I was one and it was a lot believe me!
Thanks for the thumbs down!!

Do you think everyone has money to spend on football during the festive season-you tryin to say that if Rangers were playing Dunfermline at home that Ibrox would have been full?? I think not!!
As for being 'self professed' best supporters in the world-think you'll find that FIFA and UEFA also agree we're bloody great and that's why they both gave us their Fair Play awards (have Rangers ever been given anything from UEFA except a fine for being bigots??)
And Joseph Blatter even came to Parkhead to address the fans and hand over the award from FIFA!!
That explanation enough for you??
I didn't say you claimed this dicko-but they are major awards-for taking 80000 fans to Seville!
And for the head of FIFA to praise Celtic fans personally for their support and behaviour is pretty big!
Take a look also at the clubs we play both in and out of Europe who have nothing but praise for our fans, Liverpool, Barcelona, Benfica, AC Milan, Man U....
Errbud-have a look on the internet and you'll find reports of between 50000 to 100000 Celtic fans in Seville.
Sluttt-I don't wear green coloured specs-I know Celtic are not the perfect team with the perfect support but I was just stating facts about the Fair Play Awards from FIFA and UEFA.
