Come on The Gers
Im nervous as hell to be honest...its been a very long time sice weve been in a position as good as this (92-93 CL).
Sporting are a damn good team and should be favourites over 2 legs, but weve been defending brilliantly and also carrying that little bit of luck that every team needs in these tournaments...so who knows?
Plus, Walter doesnt like losing to teams in Green and White hoops!

Come on The Gers
Jesus Wept.
I thought it was only a myth Shels had an element of Rangers sympathisers.
Whatever about the obvious question of why any Irish person would support them (other than wind up), and you spend half your posts on here battling the EPL/Celtic fans, surely the way they treated Shels in Castle Greyskull in 98 would be enough reason not want to see them lose?0 -

Same reason an Irish would choose to support the other team from Glasgow.
None at all really.
Nothing to do with Shels tbh. The two are unrelated.
So stop talking shíte where there is no shíte to be stirred.0 -

Huh? I take it thats sarcasm?
Bohs were founded by the British Army in the 1890's and we wind them up about it no end. Same colours as Trinity etc. There was a time when Rangers shirts were sported around D7, they say to wind us up, we say because they are black and tan and inherently untrustworthy biggles wannabies. So I assume its tongue in black and red cheek.Just as well really, because ive spent my life explaining myself to bigots on both sides of the divide...and i really cant be arsed doing it again.
But you keep up the good work dude, your spreading that hatred well.
Are they bigots for asking why a Dub from a catholic/nationalist background follows the Gers? Its unusual enough to be a fair question
And what 'hate' exactly am I spreading?0 -

Cheers for the info..I did not know that.
it wasnt so much what you asked that makes it sound hate filled and bigoted, rather how you asked.
In fact even in your last statement you yet again bring religion into the equation, you seem to manage to do that every single time Rangers are mentioned.0 -

Bohs fans would give a slightly different story but I think its safe to say that any club formed to play soccer in the 1890s in Dublin would not have had huge catholic links.
makes sense!
I didnt really factor that in, and i didnt realise it was a source of slagging one way or the other.
I dont generally think about religion when i think about football.
So what would the Boh's fans version be?0 -

"We were founded in 1890 as Richmond from football playing students at Bell's Academy, a Civil Service College." - some unofficial fans site. Think they were student Doctors.
By Civil Service you mean military.
Bells Acadamy was the military hospital/ medical school of the Irish Hibernian regiment of his majesties army. When the Rovers fans kicked the Brits out, the locals took over the team and we have been reminding them of their history ever since.
Basically its pure wind up, and the more they deny it, the more we bring it up.0
