There is no bigger and more intense than the Old Firm in UK football. The standard is poor but that rivalry eclipses anything south of the border

BS.

Are you Scottish?

Well he's right, the old firm is probably the most fierce rivalry in world football, they even have different religions. make my dad and say city vs united is the biggest in uk football :)

Thing is, i am not wishing to put down some of the English clashes. The likes of Spurs vs Arsenal, United vs City, Liverpool vs Everton not to mention Liverpool vs United are huge but seriously, the Old Firm is a rivalry which is so intense and passionate that it resonates beyond football or a derby game. It encompasses history, religion, society and is a matter of life and death to people who follow the 2 clubs.....quite literally. Some parts of it maybe unpalatable but that is what makes it unique and more intense than any English game.

For the record Viva, my nationality has nothing to do with it and therefore, i won't be pressured into answering your question. Particularly the case when the average EPL fan like you thinks you automatically have the biggest and best with everything. Your game and football does piss all over the Scottish game on the vast majority of fronts but having the most intense/passionate fixture? Not a chance, not even close.

From my understanding I got agree with the majority that the Old Firm rivalry eclipses the Man U vs Liverpool one. Although I'm just going off what a few of my cousins in the UK have mentioned over the years.
