I often think when watching footage like that- that the taunting, the chanting etc is probably very much like what early medeval battles were like.

The Holy War continues! Very Happy

Religous and sporting hatred intermingled Lorient? Are you sure you're not Scottish? Suspect

by Lorient Avandi Sat Sep 17, 2011 1:20 am

Pretty sure Petty. "The Holy War" is just the nickname for the BYU-Utah rivalry.

by Pettytyrant101 Sat Sep 17, 2011 2:00 am

So not a bitter bigoted religous based hatred going back hundreds of years, stepped in blood, gore and vicariously lived through sporting teams as a means to disguise deep-seated prejudices and urges for violence then? Americans! No idea what real sport is! Mad

First Old Firm game of the season at Ibrox on Sunday. Buckie, offensive songs, age old bigitory all in place- ready to go. Bring it on!

Here's a nice little documentary explains why the Old Firm matches are the way are.

A more modern documentray from the BBC (sort of 2005- newest I can find) on the subject of sectaranism and Rangers/Celtic. Welcome to a place where football is more important than life or death.

And no things haven't really changed as the game posted above from last season shows- a season in which even postal bombs were sent to managers and staff of Celtic.

Final: Utah-54 BYU-10. The worst BYU-Utah game ever Evil or Very Mad

Ooooouch. My sympathies, Lorient.

"Final: Utah-54 BYU-10. The worst BYU-Utah game ever. It was great for Utah though!" - Lorient

What is with the praising the enemy Lorient?- they hammered your team and you are nice about them?! Surely declaring an undying eternal hatred for them and all their descendants is the only proper response- are you Americans even taking your sport seriously? Evil or Very Mad

4-2 to Rangers in the Old Firm Derby! Great game, loads of goals, action and only one red card! (for a Celtic player late on when it was already 3-2) but a very entertaining match. 1-0 to rangers. 1-1. 1-2 to Celtic. 2-2. 3-2 4-2. Classic stuff. drunken

by Lorient Avandi Sun Sep 18, 2011 3:21 pm

I'm just really torn between BYU and Utah. I like BYU slightly better than utah but I still like Utah.

by Eldorion Sun Sep 18, 2011 4:03 pm

Sounds pretty awesome, Petty! Very Happy

And I can understand that, Lorient. The first ever game I remember watching (back during the 2000 season, I think) was between the Cowboys and the Ravens, the two teams I like most. It was painful, though; the Cowboys (my #1) lost 27-0, sort of setting the trend for the rest of their decade. Laughing

Match Highlights.

Sorry Eldo, but I have to go for the 49ers over the Cowboys. Twisted Evil

No offense but I hate the Cowboys. Evil or Very Mad

I live with a Redskins fan so I'm used to it by now. Rolling Eyes

by Eldorion Sun Sep 18, 2011 11:21 pm

I wast just in the dining hall, and they (fortunately for me) were not showing the Cowboys' emasculation by the 49ers, but they did show the Patriots-Chargers game including Vince Wilfork's first career interception. Laughing

IMO that was actually a really good play, 300 lbs or not. Good on him! Very Happy

by Eldorion Mon Sep 19, 2011 12:32 am

Ooh yeah!! Cowboys turn it around at the last minute, put the game into overtime, and win with a field goal! America's team, baby! cheers

Now thats more like it Lorient- no idea what any of that meant but liking the anger!! Sport should make you crabbit!

by Eldorion Mon Sep 19, 2011 1:59 am

Even I have to admit that Tony Romo is pretty lame ... but he still beat the 49ers. Twisted Evil

by Lorient Avandi Mon Sep 19, 2011 4:48 am

Thanks Eldo, I knew you would show sympathy Rolling Eyes

by Eldorion Mon Sep 19, 2011 5:28 am

I have to seize every victory for the Cowboys and bask it in; they happen rarely enough. Laughing
