I am afraid it just shows what a joke our league has become. Rangers, Celtic, da da da boring, boring.

Away wi them both, let them go bankrupt. Scotland will be better off without either of them.

The death of a catholic guy in Coleraine at the weekend sums up the Rangers nut jobs for me.

Go choke on ya Tango.

Re: Operation Tango - Sunday 24/5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, here is what I can share.....
Idea was born of a simple discussion, Helicopter Sunday. The recollection of the noise, the atmosphere, the emotion of what happened as those Motherwell goals were going in. We couldn't begin to imagine the same thing in reverse - to think about them feeling the way we did that day - unimaginable.....or was it ?
Maybe we could create this emotion - with a nice twist - Operation Tango was born.

How do we do it -
We wanted a concentrated 'surprise' effort, so no mass instruction on the open forum.
Original plan was to send 2 texts, 1 on 5 mins and 1 on 15 mins....
Each person involved had to have 2 Timmy mates at the game.

On 5 mins, the 1st person was to be sent the text,
On 15 mins the 2nd person was to be sent the text.

Anyway, to cut a long story short,
Concensus of opinion was that 5 mins was far far too early, people arriving late, people not settled into the game yet. There was also a thought that we may provide a positive effect for Celtic - ie spur them on when we were maybe on the back foot (and we didn't want that).

So with this in mind, we decided, lets do it in such a way as that if it spurns them on - it should make no difference....Rangers had to be in the lead for Tango to kick in.

News will reach the piggery naturally if we scored and went in front (massive massive low on their part), what better than to let them digest this low and let it fester for a little while before we sent our false high.
Decision was to send the texts no matter what to both Timmy1 and Timmy2, 15 mins after Rangers took any lead.

Text in itself was to be short and sweet:
Dundee Utd - Goal! (Weir sent off)

The resultant Timmy rabble we would like to think was down to the series of texts arriving at their destination - It was a bit like Russian Roulette, we all fire the gun, some will simply go click bit hopefully a few go BANG !

We will never know for sure, but if it wasn't us, something got them excited. I think we can live with the thought that it was maybe just us

Lord Pitsligo

Wow, pack instinct can be scary!

linoleum

i know, a few texts to a few fans, timed correctly and bedlam is the result. it reminds me a wee bit of groupthink, you know, i believe no matter the facts to the contrary.

happy days.

Rinty

Pity it didnt work, and didnt happen.

I think the idea of people going to watch their team on the league finale, thinking about sending texts to mates at another ground is sad.

Kevin04's post set the tone for a rubbish thread and lino's bizarre follow (follow?) up is indicative of the mindset of many old firm fans.

The murder in Coleraine should have all old firm fans reviewing their behaviour, the human ones at least.

linoleum

it did work and did happen. it's all over the internet. those who planned it and those who fell for it.

can you explain why on the 20/21st minute of the highlights at parkheid the stadium aeropted in joy,celebrating, cheering, hugging, neil lennon going crazy in the dugout and the commentator wondering why the celtic fans are so happy as they have not scored and rangers are winning 1-0.

IT HAPPENED.

they fell for ot hook line and sinker.

the icing on the cake of a wonderful day.

best mass wind up i've ever seen.

you've been tango'ed

Rinty

Didnt notice it myself.

I did remember Lennon getting out to get the team going, a lot of fans getting behind him and maybe, just maybe, some others then thought that the response to lennon was some signal of something happening somewhere else.

If it did happen then I dont undertsand it, If I was a Rangers fan at Tannadice, winding up Celtic fans would be the last thing on my mind until my team had won.

Still, whatever amuses some people eh?

When was the claim made? After watching the highlights by any chance?

linoleum

it's just a bit of fun, football fans winding up other football fans at a very yense time. it worked really well. parkhead erupted like a goal had been scored, hugging, cheering, smiling. they fell for it.

not difficult to organise, 20/30 rangers fans text 1/2 of their celtic mates at the same time saying utd. have scored.

AT THE SAME TIME.

i celtic fan saying it will be ignored but 50/60 all over the ground saying the same thing at the same time.spreads like wildfire.

it may make the papers tomorow, certainly ona few sports news websites today.

it seems odd that you cannot accept the gullability of celtic fans.

THIS HAPPENED.

they'vebeen tangoed.

good god, don't let celtic fans see that stuff. they believe that kinda stuff.and see if it's sent by text..........................

Rinty

"parkhead erupted like a goal had been scored, hugging, cheering, smiling. they fell for it."

No it didnt, a lot of fans reacted to Lennin trying to fire up the team, but there was nothing like an eruption and no-one I knew thought there had been a goal.

Why didnt it make Mondays papers, seems like people are making up a story after the event based on what they saw at the highlights on TV.

Weird behaviour for adult football fans.

I wasnt tangoed, I knew what lennon was doing, he does it often. As I said, some might have thought the reaction to lennon was news of a goal as the stadium was so flat. But no-one noticed this hoax at the time, or claimed it.

linoleum

ok. it did'nt happen. parkhead went wild cos lennon geed up the crowd..................of to followfollow for me.......................

linoleum

all i can say is that some of the posts on here about operation tango are now heading for legendary status on ehm, footbal forums!!!. filed under 'favourite timmy excuses ever'.

Rinty

in what way am I "timmy"?

I know what I saw and know that this so-called wind up wasnt even mentioned until well after the event.

Its pathetic.

kenny ramsay is a well known scottish sports photographer. i would draw you attention to the last 4 photographs in the celtic v hears gallery.that neil lennon certainly knows how to whip up a crowd.

i wonder why he's talking about celtic fans celebrating a goal?? i mean there was not a goal to be found at parkheid on sunday.

Rinty

You are just convincing me more that this didnt happen, you wouldnt need to look at 'evidence' of an interpretation of Tv highlights or a picture.

There may have been some fans at some point thought that there was a goal at tannadice, some of them might even have thought that the reaction to Lennon whipping up the players was evidence of a goal. But if this trick was real we would see clear real evidence.

When Lennon came out of his seat it was what was needed at the time, the game was flat, the players were losing the league, the crowd responded to Lennon's attitude.

There was no "eruption", even the Lennon incident inpsired a few people, not the whole crowd but it sounded louder as the crowd was as flat and uninspiring as the team were.

Pah! You're just a bunch of amateurs:

You silly boy, Kevin.

The name 'hun' comes from Attila the Hun, a rather wild, semi-nomadic tribe of Asiatic origin who rampaged through much of Europe in the something-or-otherth century.

There is no connection between the huns and the followers of Glasgow Rangers FC.

Unless you count the Germans, who were referred to in the First World War as huns. Are fans of Rangers 'Germanic'?

Their love of the royal family certainly would lean towards that being the case, as the aforementioned royalty have Hannoverian (German) roots.
Other than that, there douesn't seem to be much logic (not that i expect much from OF fans!) in the claim made by members of the Feni tribe, whose origins lie in the impoverished bogs of Ireland and whose achievements in the history of the world amount to zilch.

Rinty

"members of the Feni tribe, whose origins lie in the impoverished bogs of Ireland and whose achievements in the history of the world amount to zilch."

That just about sums it up, you dont get much more tribal than that!

Rinty

Unbelievable, the idea of you two joining in a debate about bigotry is astounding.

Lord Pitsligo

Cymro

It seems to me that Linoleum (something cheap that we walk over all day?) is an example of a 'fan' (I use this in the loosest possible sense) who hates another club more than he supports his own. I have no problem with winding up rivals, be it in football, rugby or even tiddlywinks, but when you're team are playing the other side of Scotland in a game that means if they win or do better that their rivals in a different games that they win the league championship you feel you need to 'interact' with fans in a completely different game, well that is just sad and pathetic.

I'd hazzard a guess that IF a few Rangers fans had been texting Celtic Fans to say Dundee had scored on 20 mins far more Celtic fans sat watching Setanta at home or checking scores on their phones or listening to scores on the radio while at the match would have been texting their fellow Celtic fans at Parkhead with updates which meaning the 20 or so texts by Rangers fans would have been ignored fairly easily.

Rinty

yes cymru, also, all texts are not instantly sent and received by all netwopks at all times and the post claiming 'the tango' wasnt on follow follow until the tuesday evening.

I've been at loads of games where so called info from other grounds starts to cause a ripple in the ground.

linoleum

. the plan for operation tango was made about a week before the game at tannadice, it was kept top secret by those involved because of trolls on followfollow who support celtic would have revealed the plans.

a couple of days after the game PM's and screenshots of the PM's planning this were published online.

sorry to burst your buuble guys but this was well planned and the plan went well. even celtic fans who are not so bitter and angry about this hoax have admitted they fell for it on the day when they heard about the dundee utd. 'goal'.

certainly our input is more realistic and closer to the truth than some......

Stevie

It's funny how some people consider a game such as football their very reason for existence. It's just a game, nothing more.

It's a slow game too where 3 goals scored in 90 minutes is considered not bad.

22 players, give them all a ball to play with.

Rinty

"certainly our input is more realistic and closer to the truth than some....."

What is that supposed to mean? Your views on these issues have no value whatsoever, your petty tribalism cant even be considered to be "input". At best, you do give us the chance to see clear examples of what is wrong with the Old Firm and their fans.

Sectarianism alive and well in the dear green place, eh?

yes, you have to wonder why with the abusive nature of the title and possibly secterian language used in that title why the thread was not chopped.

malcolm tucker has approved this message.

Rinty

I agree Malcolm, the original post was awful and paved the way for lino and the others to continue. As I said earlier, the murder in Coleraine should have the OF fans thinking instead of continuing this nonsense.

well said sir. perhaps the likes of kevin and lino should be barred from starting threads and have their posts closely moderated. not ideal for free specch but it would serve a purpose for the common good.
