The Biggest Fooballing Rivalry?

[Bish Bosh]

Rangers v Celtic and Portsmouth v Southampton.

Both 'rivalries' tainted with bigotry unfortunately. Although the two Glasgow clubs have made efforts to educate the more feral elements.

 

[fatfingers]

Birmingham v Villa ?
Burnley v Blackburn ?
Leeds v Man utd ?
England v Scotland ?

All can be tastey, very very tastey

Fenerbache V Galastaray looked pretty evil on football factories

Rangers and Celtic for me because it is way deeper than a football rivalry

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Northwich Victoria and Witton Albion.

B F....... you aint got a clue mate.

I understand what you are TRYING to do.

Yeah shut it mate, they were off the top of my head. I bet if you did a poll, it wouldn't last two minutes, before it went down to the second page.

Real Madrid v Barcelona
AC Milan v Juventus
Anderlecht v Royal Antwerp
Fiorentina v Siena
Cardiff v Everyone

In Zamalek v El Ahly, which is not on there, they have to have a ref from a neutral country for every time they play, the rivalry is so intense that they've got to the point where no local refs can be used.

I voted for the Dutch rivalry between Ajax and Feyenoord, it is the only one I can think of where the fans have met for a pre-arranged ruck...and used bombs on each other...that makes most of what happened in this country during the 70's and early 80's look like playground scuffles.

I think there should be notable mentions for Hearts v Hibs in Scotland, not really the best of friends and Antwerp v Anderlecht in Belgium, some serious fighting between those two.

I agree. Was something in 442 magazine a while ago about how the fans like to have a nice meet'n'greet session b4 the match & after.

 

[Braders]

Livepool vs United in England

 

[Rangdo]

Ha ha ha. You an't got a clue
For a start

Cardiff vs Swansea
Millwall vs West ham
Pompey vs Saints
Newcastle vs Sunderland
Bristol city vs Rovers
Chelsea vs Spurs/Leeds

All these and plenty more are for worse then the Pottery derby.

Oh dear. Does the phrase tongue in cheek mean anything to you?

You will need to be when you spill out on the streets pissed up at midnight! Watch out for the stray bullets!

 

[vulture]

Has to be Rangers v Celtic.Pure hate of each other which of course is a lot deeper than football.

 

[Rangdo]

Thing is though that the poll is about footballing rivalry. I'd say that most of the hatred between Celtic and Rangers has absolutely nothing to do with football so it's difficult to compare it to others.

Thats clearly why it was excluded from this definitive poll

 

[desprateseagull]

surprised(relieved_ that BHA-Palace isnt on the list..

and how do you measure a rivalry? number of games / arrests / insurance claims, for samage caused?
