What
this site is about
Ok, having read the warning on the previous page you are obviously game for a laugh. This site is intended for fans of the Old Firm to log on and have a go at each other by means of humorous banter. We, the
site creators
intend to make sure the site is run in the nature it is intended. That is to give a the world a glimpse of the raw bating that has existed between these two sets of supporters for over a century now. Yes, in the past there has been pitched battles between the two camps both on and off the park, which is only human nature and makes the fixture the special occasion it is. However, nowadays, more often than not we vent our differences with our neighbours with a good old fashioned slagging match where nothing gets hurt but our pride.

Glossary
of terms and insults explained
For
those of you who are a bit puzzled by some of
the language used throughout this site, here is
a bit of translation that may help you understand
meanings and phrases. Very often these derogatory
terms are expressed with no knowledge of where
they come from, or what they actually mean. Thankfully
most people realise that the history behind these
sayings should indeed stay as history, and are
used more often out of ignorance, or without malice.
