you just mentioned more settlers in Glasgow in your last post hence more family ties etc. in fairness do try and be consistent at least and ya, of course success is a factor. Dont see too many tricolours or hear irish songs at Easter Road do we? Not a thing wrong with of course but its easy to see why irish fans would be more drawn towards celtic

Ive also heard Hibs fans use Anti-Irish slurs towards our support on many occasions, not in chants like other teams but from indvidual fans.. wasnt the harp also removed from the crest too to try and downplay the Irish Links at one point?? as i said the Hibs fans in the main resisted and fair play to them for that but its well known that the Board (think it was one particular chairman his name escapes me) at Hibs tried to pull a Dundee United at one point in shame at their Irish roots.

Whats that got to do with English fans and what they might or might not sing?

I suppose oranbhoy, as one of the few full yBritish posters here has more of a right to an opinion about Liverpool than most of us Irish people.

We didnt earn out right to support an English team by being born loyal subjects of HM Queen Elizabeth like you did so we all offer our apologies as blow in fans of a foreign team

Maybe he doesn't have one

Riight i dont expect any Irish EPL fans to suddenley turn round & denounce their team for Celtic... i cant be ersed arguing either... i just think a bit more respect for what Celtic has acheved both on and off the pitch would be nice from your modern day Irishman.. yet a lot of them seem to think ( by product of the sitution up north maybe) that being a Celtic fan equals being a chav or a pissed up plastic paddy republican . anyway im offski too im in a happy mood .. i stirred up a wee hornets nest tonight my apologies for that but was just after a wee debate.. night all

This guff seems to continuously circulate among a section of the celtic support for some reason - there are plenty books covering this period that will shed a little more light on this myth. We still receive comments from celtic fans on a regular basis lamenting the ethnic impurity of our support base, Im sure its a minority but pretty ironic from a support often claiming anti-fascism.

I've as much respect for Celtic as I do any other foreign club. In my eyes they're no one special.

The cool story is that I enjoyed watching a Celtic reserve side beat a near full strength Liverpool one. The liverpool fans might aswell stayed in the pubs for all the atmosphere they were trying to generate.

It was probably about 70% Liverpool fans, but the Celtic fans made the majority of the noise.

dan1895

What about the ones who didn't know who they supported. like the bloke pictured a few pages back or the guy in the liverpool shirt celebrating Celtic's goal?

Such a shame you can't support both.

You can follow two teams like a lot of people but supporting two while they are playing each other? Don't think so.

That's because the reality is that most (IMO 80%) of Irish Celtic fans are just that, they are plastic paddy republican eejits stuck in the 1980s. No I take that back, 90% of them are like that.

I have a lot of time for the real Celtic fans they are a good bunch especially the Green Brigade but the reality of the situation is the vast majority of Irish Celtic fans are as described.

You're the only one coming across as a ****ing ejiet on the this thread. I have plenty of mates who support Liverpool, none would have the warped view you hold.

Cop yourself on.
