Keevins Article- Mixed Up Idiot

He wants fans to come to football.

 

But we are dim-witted for filling Ibrox every game.

RANGERS fans canâ??t stop going to Ibrox in their tens of thousands to watch one-sided matches against wee teams who regard it a privilege to be ritually slaughtered.

 

 

 

NOBODY ever lost money underestimating the gullibility of Celtic and Rangers supporters.

 

But now the pair of them are locked into the worst recorded case yet of my dadâ??s bigger than your dad dim-wittedness.

 

Rangers fans canâ??t stop going to Ibrox in their tens of thousands to watch one-sided matches against wee teams who regard it a privilege to be ritually slaughtered.

 

If they do theyâ??ll be mocked by Celtic supporters whoâ??ll accuse them of betraying Ally McCoistâ??s memorable sound bite about â??We donâ??t do walking away.â?

 

And Hoops fans canâ??t leave their team to walk alone either or else theyâ??ll be laughed at for failing to draw a bigger crowd than a Third Division team in the same city, as Gers did against Elgin last week.

 

But if the pair of them are daft enough to pay good money just to avoid losing face in front of the other lot then hell mend them for their unthinking adherence to a rivalry that doesnâ??t even make sense now.

 

They donâ??t play in the same league and they both swear the other is an irrelevance to them, but they canâ??t move on because they still canâ??t live without each other.

 

And in the absence of an Old Firm match theyâ??ll just need to pack their respective grounds in an empty-headed show of defiance.

 

Rangers must keep up the pretence that they feel a sense of competition against players whoâ??re taking photographs of each other on the pitch at Ibrox before games begin because they canâ??t believe theyâ??re standing there.

 

Celtic are finding it hard to fill the void Rangers have left and are stuttering against inferior sides because they know theyâ??ll eventually win the league.

 

But the problem is Rangers are filling Ibrox on cut-price season tickets and Celtic are experiencing the difficulties associated with Scottish football being too expensive for whatâ??s on offer.

 

A parent and child could have gone to Ibrox last Sunday and both got seats for a total of £20.

 

The same combination at Celtic Park for the game against Hibs 24 hours earlier would have been charged, if they werenâ??t season ticket holders, a total of £46.

 

In other words, an impressionable kid could have been introduced to Ibrox at a price you understand.

 

But a £17 charge for a so-called concession ticket at Celtic Park throws up a serious question.

 

Celticâ??s Under-19s could play Sporting Lisbon in the NextGen Series on Thursday night but

what about the next generation of supporters?

 

Complaints have been made about St Johnstone charging between £26 to £30 for Celticâ??s visit to McDiarmid Park on Saturday for a lunch-time kick-off game thatâ??s live on TV.

 

But the argument is severely weakened when non-season book holders are being charged £29 and £17 for concessions at Celtic Park to see Hibs.

 

And even the season ticket prices have gone up slightly for a championship that doesnâ??t include two home games against Rangers.

 

Celtic have to be applauded for a Champions League package that comes in at £28 per game to see Barcelona, Benfica and Spartak Moscow.

 

But if youâ??re not a season ticket holder then the price averages out at £35 a game for adults and £25 for children.

 

How can families of Celtic supporters afford those prices and the rest of the inflated admission charges affecting crowds in this country?

 

We pay lip service to the idea that pricing is prohibitive and we do nothing about

trying to sort the problem out. But people have clearly started to vote with their feet.

 

Next weekend, when Celtic are in Perth and Rangers go to Annan, count up the attendances in the SPL and it wonâ??t reach above 40,000 fans.

 

The bottom line is that the working-class game has started to move outwith the reach of the ordinary man and woman.

 

And thatâ??s because of the cost of tickets, as well as stadium catering thatâ??s eye watering in price before you find out if itâ??s mouth watering in flavour.

 

If parents canâ??t afford to take their kids to the football any more then the children will quickly find something else to do and then the game really will be in big bother.

 

The obligation must be to attract, and hold on to, supporters.

 

Television is making it too easy for them to stay at home but I donâ??t hear of any movement to address the problem.

 

Thereâ??s a statue of Jock Stein outside Celtic Park which carries the inscription, â??Football without fans is nothing.â?

 

Lots of people would have passed it last weekend on their way into the ground.

 

Lots didnâ??t because the ground was 25 per cent under capacity.

I think you'll find ya wee Rhabid twat that Tim fans are walking away in their droves, either that or their coming dressed as green seats.

 

They just don't get it do they, we couldn't give a stuff about anybody else we just go to see the Rangers.

 

Why oh why can't they understand that?

I'm enjoying going to SFL3 games more than watching SPL games, nothing to do with defiance or so I can get it up the Timothy, but because it's a new adventure.

 

This just reeks of Keevins trying to get a reaction.

I used to think that as well, but now I think they actually believe this shit they write.

 

Deluded the lot of them.

Shouldn't that read "with every bone in his corsets"? :-)))

Nuremberg Hugh has few bones. Certainly no spine as Lawwell's banning order on him moves into it's fifth week. The Record's Sports Editor, Austin Barret is also a jellyfish; where is the Sports Editorial condemning ra Sellik's control freakery?

 

It's a pastiche from Father Ted, instead of raging and riling against ra Sellik imposed injustice; the Record espouces, 'Careful Now'.
