I believe it is yes. Rangers are the ones dragging their heels about this idea ironicly.Quote:

C'mon my magyar friends!
Yes that my point. What we think now is not what was thought in earlier times. Celtic fans labelled Rangers fans as Huns. A grave insult.Quote:

Building on What Dav said-up until the recent opening of the Glasgow airport offic Celtic store there were more Celtic stores in Ireland than in Scotland! Hwoever of course because one is in Belfast and one is in Derry and Conor see's everything so black and white this makes them UK stores because Belfast is part of the UK which means it has nothing to do with Ireland or the Irish people and no one Irish can have any alligance with Belfast because they will be UK folk.
Belfast=UK=Part of the Queens Kingdom
Derry=UK=Part of the Queens Kingdom
tut tut how can anyone from either of these places dissasociate themselves for her maj*sty......
keep it coming Conor or is it one rule for cities and another for football clubs?
:D :D
O aye and keeping on topic Chris Sutton came back today and put one in the net alogn with 2 from John Harston. Granted it was vs ICT but a goal on the first game back is excellent whoever it's against......we could have really done with him on Wednesday night thiough great to see John HArtson carry on scorring..........good luck to the bhoys next Saturday :D :D :ball:
Had my wires crossed. Meant Spanish not Catalan. But I maintain the point.Quote:

Sutton came back and played well in midfield, scored and early goal and was rested on 80 mins.
John Hartson scored a brace and continues to put in a good shift - it seems to me he's putting in the extra effort in order to get a new contract or at least ensure he gets a decent move away if celtic decide not to renew his contract.
Aiden Mc played a full game which was great. He gives celtic something different in that he has the ability to run at defences and beat people. However, I thought some of his simple stuiff was sloppy, passes too short or behind a player and losing posession in what could have been dangerous areas against better opposition. However, he's a long way to go & every game under his belt will improve his experience - hope he gets an opportunity on Tues.
Another clean sheet will no doubt help 'the sieves' confidence, with a couple of excelent last ditch tackles and blocks in the closing minutes (when the game was won) showing a good desire to keep the ICT score tally 'zilch'
Err, maybe you should post more on the Ramblers forum then!Quote:

However I think that if you wish to debate this point it will at least be a novel change from the Celtic arguement that has been going on here for ages. Seriously lads we know exactly what you think, you know what we think, has anyones mind been changed on this issue? No. So why is this still going on.
Well how about?Quote:

You my friend are a total eejit-chose Cobh becyase there were very few Ramblers fans? Who the heck are you?
Don't go spreading lies like that around!
That's harsh, that's a lie and that's below the beltQuote:

Also as Junior points out there is no history of the club being set up to help Jewish people in Amsterdam and certainly no history of the club flying the Star of David to represent their history and identity. Indeed you may find that Israel was in fact Palestine when the club was set up, but thats a debate for another page :eek:

Buliding on this the Republic of Ireland London Supporters Club, which I know has a fair few members on here, was founded in England and is based in England so does this make it an English organistation?
..........I think not ;)
Oh and Eoinh notice I chose to make my 1000th post on my club's board despite the fact that not as many people will see it!
its members are irish, and support ireland. not the case with celticQuote:

Personally i love Luch-Energiya Vladivostok. Ive never gone to see them play, have no connection with them but Jesus i cant be irish and proud.
I heard their matchs with Metallurg-Kuzbass Novokuznetsk are something else. In 1994 my uncles dads brothers son in law was over there. Ever since then ive loved Vladivostok.
Just in case they go bad ive a back up team Lisma-Mordovia Saransk. Im kind of leaning towards them ever since the great Ilya Borodin signed for them. Well hes supposed to be great ive never actaully gone to see him play. Whenever Aeroflot get their prices down ill be over there in a shot .... err maybe.
