QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Mar 17 2009, 07:13 PM)  I don't think Celtic have beaten Rangers in a cup final for a while, but seeing as they play each other 4 times a season, both teams get their fair share of wins. In the 90s Rangers were even more dominant in Scotland than United were in England, winning 9 straight league titles. Martin O'Neill ended that dominance, winning 3 league titles in 5 years at Celtic! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) It's a very religous/political thing. Rangers are seen as the Protestant team, while Celtic are Catholic and it's heavily linked to Northern irish politics of the loyalists (Rangers) and the Republicans (Celtic). Historically Celtic fans are generally Catholics and Rangers fans Protestants. But the most unusual thing for me is that this is 2 Scottish clubs playing in the Scottish league, yet they for some reason base everything around Ireland.. even the flags and colours of the teams. Celtic fans very rarely have Scottish flags, instead they just have green/white/orange or Republic of Ireland flags, while Rangers fans are red/white/blue and have British or Northern Irish flags.. there's hardly any Scottish flags to be seen! I personally ignore this completely and just support Celtic because I didn't like Rangers winning everything in the 90s. Thanks. So then this means I will have to support the Rangers. To bring balance to the Force. |

So, PSG and Lyon just played the early game in France. It ended 0-0. This means that before the rest of the league plays, Lyon are in THIRD place, with Bordeaux 1 point ahead and OM 3 points ahead. These 2 teams could widen the gap at the weekend. Looks like for the first time in 7 years, someone other than Lyon might just win the league.

The Greek Cup final was one of the best games I've ever watched. AEK played against Olympiacos and took a 2-0 lead in the first 10 minutes. Olympiacos made it 2-1 at the very beginning of the second half and equalized later on. AEK scored in the 90th minute and then Oly hit back in the dying seconds. Another 2 goals in overtime. FT 4-4
Olympiacos won on penalties 15-14 (19-18)!!!!! |

Also, fine them and give them back the money as charity, that was poor! |

Yep, they're in San Jose (which is earthquake country) in California.
In other news, Ajax have sacked Marco Van Basten. |

Sacre Bleu!!!!
Now bring him in as well...as assistant coach to Carlo. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) EDIT: He wasn't sacked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) He 'resigned under pressure'. There's a difference. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) This post has been edited by Jack Sparrow: May 6 2009, 03:33 PM |

Of course. With dst, it doesn't matter what you do, you're racist, homophobic, sex-crazed and uncouth. Anything you say/do will fall into one of those categories AND you will be labeled offensive.
Get used to it. |

Do you mean because of what an earthquake is? I would not mind if they were named 'Paedophiles' but it's such a douche name; they could have very well named their team San Jose Bumpers... it sounds equally cool to me. |

From the rest of your post, it seemed like your annoyance with the name 'Earthquakes' came from the fact that people have died due to them.. |
