Maybe in britain. West Ham v Millwall matches is it in terms of passion and beats it in terms of violence.

mindless violence just because of the proximity of the clubs, typical english football hooligans imo

Really I don't think this game is as big as its made to be, its a derby in a provincial league. Its no bigger than Benfica/Sporting, Fenerbhace/Galatasaray, PSG/l'OM, Feyenoord/Ajax, Olympiakos/Panathonikos etc. Infact i'd say the format in Scotland dilutes its intensity, it doesn't have the one off feel each year like those derbies.

:lol: Hamzah was the one who said that violence determines how big a derby is.

Scotland have just as many hooligans. (if not more)

Remember when Celtic played City and a Celtic fan threw a BRICK at a 5 year old city fan ?

no he never m8, he through a brick and it hit a 5 year old football fan. as i hav said before EVERY football club has thugs who will attach themselves to clubs and call themselves fans and sadly 99% of away fans are drunk and intent on causing trouble.

btw just heard on the news that celtic have the 8 largest matchday attendance in world football, small club material that, eh? :lol:

Oh my...

Saying "typical english holligans" then saying every club has them just makes you a hypocrite.

A Celtic fan DID throw a brick at a 5 yr old City fan. Search this forum if you need to. It's posted somewhere.

Not true. No offence Super Pippo you're a likeable guy and you know your football but trust me, myself, Hamzah, henriklarsson 7, we live in, more or less, this city. We know what it's really about. Those derbies are good derbies no doubt but they don't have the importance, poltics, religion, violence, baggage, support that the Old Firm has.

Did he really mean to ?

i doubt it but even if he did it still proves my point that every club (including the biggest and best club in the world, celtic) have followers who are thugs who constantly embarrass their club

Well it was either aiming at him, his young brother or his dad standing right next to him. They were seperate from the rest of the crowd.
