I await an apology!!! :p
I'd say his avatar would be a better clue.
EDIT : He got there first.
Da town bashing needs to stop we need just three or four quality players and we'll be challenging for promotion this year
Alright, didn't have avatars turned on. Sorry.Quote:

[quote=OldKentRoad;840750]just felt your response to geysir was a bit annoying. He made a good point about the website http://members.lycos.co.uk/dublinrangers/ - it is obviously not a real supporters club website and is full of imbecilic content. He was only stating the obvious, yet you accuse him of being a "boring old fart"Quote:

I felt my response that you have quoted was very valid, as I was wrongly accused off being an athlone town supporter :o:o even though I've a Harps badge (and I didnt know you can view these pages without avators)

Does the "Dublin Loyal, behind enemy lines" banner not say anything to ye?
Prob not, actually. The apologists will surely find a way to explain it (celtic is the enemy, dublin is celtic or something) and then go on about how great rangers are, or how equally bad they are compared to Celtic.
You'd swear non-scottish football supporting Irishmen were experts on the subject.
Mostly they just don't care. The rest are bloody sick of hearing about Scottish football.Quote:

For the record i love seeing rangers do well - solely to wind up the celtic muppets in this country. We'd great craic drinking in a glasgow rangers supporters pub on the shankill road a couple of years ago before playing linfield, got our photos taken with plaques in their honour,etc :)
how are the rangers muppets any better than the celtic muppets?Quote:

I think this sort of talk is barred from here isnt it, so im not going to go into it any further
No, I mean you were saying you enjoyed hanging out with a group of rangers fans from shankill - surely they are guilty of the same sin, supporting a foreign team, as the celtic fans?Quote:

I guess thats alright, but I didnt get the impression that was the case, you didnt say they were LFC fans.Quote:

Each to his own I guess and football following involves a lot of irrational behaviour.
What about the thousands of Scottish Celtic and Rangers fans who shun their own country in favour of supporting Ireland/ England and turn up at their repsective home grounds every second week waving tricolours/ union jacks or sporting the latest Ireland / England jersey?Quote:

I don't know (m)any Scottish Celtic supporters that support the Irish football team in fairness.
I think there's an unbelievable amount of generalizing going on in this forum. My father moved to scotland at a young age and spent 30 odd years there making a living before moving back home. Following Celtic was one of the only ways of forgetting about the long hours of hard labour etc and now I share the same passion he had for Celtic along with my older brothers, yet I am categorised as a muppet because I am an Irish man supporting Celtic 1st and foremost. Get real! As far as I'm concerned its my heritage & its all I've known from a young age. How could my father take an interest in, say, Finn Harps when he was living across the water?!?
as for John83's comment about being fed up reading about Scottish football - no ones holding a gun to your head mate, there's plenty other 'irish' discussions going on. Us muppets will manage fine without your input!
