Well thank you Macy I see you are finally understanding.

These places are IRISH CENTRES because when Irish people came to Britain (or Austrailia, USA etc) they set up centres to provide a cultural, social, sporting, emotional or advice support to emigrants. Glasgow Celtic are one facet of this proud heritage, to me saying Celtic are nothing to do with Ireland is as pointless as saying that the London Irish Centre is nothing to do with Ireland. Thanks for making your point in such an interesting way.

As for the football, why are eL fans informing us that the Scottish league is of a poor standard? Well duh, Celtic fans are the ones who watch more it than you do, we are well aware of the fact.

Muchas gracias, amigo! Another year with my liver. Shame I had to spend most of it at work, but hey! To add to PP's obs, I studied emigration at Uni BA level in Britain at the Uni North London, which did have a half decent Irish Studies course (Major or minor but sadly not whole). Personally a bit more on the emigrants' experience should be given in Irish education but I can also appreciate that farting around with this subject at the expense of something more vocational could lead to the spectre of largescale emigration returning. Anyway, noone can deny that Ireland is short of books on the subject for those interested or in need of direction. ;)

Nonsense!! The day you lost your Oirish accent you became 2G like Finnan, Doherty and that bloke who's shooting everyone in The Bill who used to be in Eastbenders. Welcome to the club, honcho! It's a club you'll never leave. :D :D

In Ireland we get the reverse :rolleyes:

CRFC till I die-and yes I do come over and see the matches and no at the moment we're not highly 'sucessful'!!

Let Celtic have that tin pot this season. The rangers are taking back whats rightfully theirs - the league championship.

The future is bright, the future is orange!

Glory Glory to the HIBEE'S.... 103 Years on from our last SFA CUP win. This is our year

SUNSHINE ON LEITH :D

Well, if it's not to be the year of the Tim again, then I'd back Hibs to win it. Another all-green final would be nice. :)
