I wasn't trying to say that at all. It's quite simple really, I saw a lot of Irish stuff at Celtic games when I was younger and naturally, that would attract any Irishmans interest.Quote:

Now, while personally it's frustrating seing that when the EL is in desperate need of support, that's their choice and they're as "real" as any other fans. It's the bandwagon jumpers and the gobsh*tes who seem to be attracted to supporting celtic that put alot of people off, but obviously that doesn't apply to every Celtic fan and they can't all be tarred with the same brush.Quote:

I beg to differ - but if a clubs history, roots etc... are not enough to distinguish why a club may have a significant support in Ireland then I'm not going to waste my time doing it. However for the record we are NOT all the same.Quote:

I've no problem with people supporting them, but they're a foreign club just like the rest.Quote:

But as soon as Celtic have a bad game-(and yes it was a bad game-i admit, we didn't paly great, we had injuries, the ref was a farce etc.etc.)-you're all on here going on about Celtic!
Have it one way or the other but at the moment to me it seems that it's one rule for when Celtic are winning and another for when we aren't :confused:
Looking back on it most 'hijacked' thread have been hijacked by anti-Celts having a pop! If we really want to discuss Celtic we go to the Huddle Board (or Old Firm Fans) where we don't have to put up with la!ngers!!
As for Lurgans Finest he's one of ma role modles so hey :D
Cobh Ramblers F.C, Celtic FC, ROI National Team-Erins finest!
Just because we're lower in the league it doesn't mean we're not better ;)Quote:

Your last example was London Irish (which is a rugby club - no interest in rugby). I'ld burn that book you bought by your Prof. friend.
Yet another fine example of the Irish Free State education system! :rolleyes: Clubs with 'supposidly' Irish links? Perhaps emigration was also 'supposidly' a figment of the imagination.Quote:

Apologies for throwing a spanner in the works, but Hibernian and Celtic are really two clubs in very different circumstances. For whatever reason - well, probably more likely due to the sectarianism that existed and still exists in the west of Scotland - the culture amid which Celtic was created has been preserved with far more in tact than that of Hibernian.Quote:
