you must have been fuming when RTE had James Connolly in the running for Irelands greatest man a couple of years back, Edinburgh being in the Ireland like, hope you wrote them a strongly worded letter

Yes, things Rte do bother me all the time, well, cept when Im awake, you know, cause Rte just aren't that important in my life?

Where are you actually going with this? You are confused about where Edinburgh is? Hardly..............

St Patrick would have been better wouldn't it? Couldn't you have asked me does it upset me every Patricks day that our patron saint isn't even Irish?

Of course you miss the point entirely, sadly, Im not even sure you know that.

Barcelona haven't always been like that.

Tell that to Barcelona fans from 1999-2003 when the club was largely a laughing stock and basket case under Joan Gaspart and a final day Rivaldo hattrick away from financial meltdown.

Yet still shifted plenty of tops in Champion Sport.

What about if someone tells you they were in a Chinese restaurant in Dublin,of course there are no Chinese restaurants in Dublin as Dublin is not in China,just like Celtic are not an Irish team as Glasgow is not in Ireland, same same

Would people from China go to eat in this Chinese eatery in Dublin whilst ignoring proper Chinese restaurants in their own country and then claim 'I travel to Ireland to eat because I want to eat in a Chinese restaurant'.

they can't eat in a Chinese restaurant in Dublin because Dublin is not in China so therefore its not a Chinese restaurant

You think the food you get at these places is genuine Chinese food ?

You seem to confuse being a club with an Irish background and actually being an Irish club.

So its a normal resturant that does Chinese cuisine?

Nobody is doubting the Irish heritage and links to Celtic but thats where the buck stops, unless the uplift the club and plant it on this island.

Celtic arent Irish no matter what way people cut it but if you want to claim them as yere own by all means do so but ignore the geographical reasons why they're not Irish in the process.

You seem to be catching on, a little. Yes Celtic are not an Irish team as Glasgow is not in Ireland, well done, but my friend, restaurants can be opened anywhere and there is no law to stop a Chinese restaurant opening anywhere in Ireland. In fact there are plenty of them about.

I suggest you may want to venture out more often?

The analogies in this thread have gone a bit far haven't they?

By the logic spouted here, James McCarthy is not Irish because he's born in Scotland - but if John Terry bought a house here he would be.

Apparently if Celtic moved to Ireland they'd be Irish.

I don't know how this all started anyway. I brought Celtic up, but I said they were a Scottish club with an Irish cultural identity.

It's a bit like claiming the New York GAA team can't be Irish at all because it's based in New York. At the end of the day it's not a tangible thing that can be quantified, it's just a matter of perception. Millions of non-Irish, non-Celtic supporting people recognise the Irish element of Celtic FC. I guess it's up to the people in this thread to go out there and passionately convince them otherwise.

Ok, if I were to set up a company in Scotland. My premises was in Scotland, paid all my taxes in Scotland, all my employees were based in Scotland. Would the company be Irish?

Peterborough are owned by an Irish guy, are they an Irish club? If they start flying a tricolour would this make them Irish?

Nobody is saying if Celtic moved to Ireland they would be an Irish club, in the unlikely event of that happening they would be a Scottish club with Irish links playing in Ireland. Which would be just strange.

Nobody has ever denied the heritage/links between Irish emigrants and Celtic either.......

Don't think some people realise what actually is being said at all.

Here is how this "debate" began

I posted that I cant stand people who tell me Celtic is an Irish club.

That's it, is that statement inaccurate? No. You actually had a poster come on saying he had never heard people make such claim and he is a big fan and blah blah. Insanity of the highest order (or bull****) then you have the evidence in this thread that you will find people who will try to argue the point.

Its irrelevant. Celtic are not Irish, they have an Irish heritage, so do lots of teams, (plenty of them in Ireland too funnily enough) they are no more Irish then Hibernian who they were based on.

Both are Scottish teams with an irish heritage.

Let it go, move on. Life is so much easier when you accept reality

Eh yes. Nobody would ever claim they were an Irish team. Same as London. There are plenty of young English lads playing GAA now in London with no connection to Ireland. Are they now Irish also?

I wont go into detail here cause that would be accusing you of being dumb to the extreme so just some simple steps

No you cannot have an Irish football team that is from Scotland

Yes you can have a restaurant that serves Chinese cuisine in Ireland

Yes you can have a pub in Spain with an Irish theme

There is nothing complicated about that at all. It requires no explanation, unless you are very very stupid. I make no accusations

If you go to Spain for example and pass by a big green pub with Irish tri colours flying from it with a name beginning with O , you would automatically say there is a Spanish pub?

It's an Irish themed bar. Quite a lot of Irish bars in Spain are Spanish owned and run. So your definition of being "Irish" Is sticking a few tricolours up? No wonder you feel Celtic are Irish.

Explain to me how you ban have an Irish pub in Spain but not have an Irish club in Scotland, is it against some law, or do you just have a chip no your shoulder about Celtic fans?

I have many Celtic fans as friends, don't think I have any secret grudge against them.

Now the thickos on the other hand who will tell you its an Irish club, I have a problem with them alright yeah. I know you shouldn't get angry when someone doesn't know any better, but after you show them logically the fallacy of what they are saying and they continue to talk nonsense I do find them pretty annoying.

Do I need to explain it to you as if its something I claimed? You probably need to read my post again maybe?

I was sitting with my friend here in Ireland and I gave him friend a Chinese burn, should it be called an Irish burn? Exactly! Therefore, Celtic FC is Irish.

Rovers in Ireland for me. Elsewhere, I hate Liverpool a lot. Internationally I really don't like Roma and I do enjoy seeing Barcelona mess up(although it rarely happens).

I dunno where you're going with this example. They're Irish restaurants selling food loosely based on Chinese cuisine, and Spanish pubs loosely based on the kind of pubs we have here.
