Welcome to the forum bud :D :) :D
That's precisely why I wouldn't have you as a mod on Foot.ie Liam. We don't like smartarses or troublemakers, especially when they're adolescent.

Apologies-I wasn't trying to be a smartarse or a trouble maker-just expressing my opinion and trying to give Son of Erin a good welcome to the forum; as for being an adolescant I can't really do anything about that :DQuote:

It should be noted that I don't particularly like singling out posters, I'm just sick of the Celtic thing coming up over and over again. The impression /I/ get, as an administrator, is that on the whole eL and Ireland fans aren't particularly interested in talking about Celtic, not least because on the whole the Celtic fans that come here are smartarses and troublemakers. And eL and Ireland fans get priority on this site. It's what Foot.ie is all about: Irish soccer. Real Irish soccer.
But hey, correct me if I'm wrong.
adam
aye fair play-so if we keep our Celtic posts confined to General football 100% is that ok or would you rather we didn't make Celtic posts at all-that's a serious question, I'm not being sarcastic.
Also there aren't many exclusivly Celtic fans on here, if any. Most will also support Ireland and many also support an el team. I'm an Irish fan, a Cobh fan and a Celtic fan in that order as far a football is concernedQuote:

That is the sad and long history of emigration and the fact Irish people have had to band together for financial and emotionally support each other in the face of well documented rascism from the host population. This has seen some of its worst practices in the West of Scotland, and as was discussed on here with Rangers fans throwing potatoes on the pitch at the last Old Firm game or a visit to followfollow.com shows these practices still exist. As anyone who watches any Celtic game will know the amount of tricolours that are on show at Celtic games shows that in the face of this rascism the descendents of the Irish into Scotland have remained very proud of their background.
I do whole-heartedly agree to the idea that Celtic fans living in Ireland should attend Irish League football (apart from the fact that a football club does represent where you are from, I also believe that if people go to domestic football it will pump more money into the game and facilitate the development of young players for Ireland.) However this argument should also apply to Barstool Man Utd., Liverpool Arsenal etc ‘fans’ as well as the those who turn up to Ireland internationals without darkening the door of any football ground (eL of not) from one season to the next
I have no doubt that Celtic fans on this board are equally fed up of the consent attacks on the club and its identity as it often seems like an attack on our identities
Finally when I joined up to this board it was not to spend my time arguing about Celtic, being a smartarse or a trouble maker and I don’t believe that I have been and certainly don’t intend to start now, however I will not except anyone having a go at my friends or myself.
If the Celtic "fans" are fed up then maybe they should just go to an actual Celtic website (of which I'm sure there are many) and stop annoying us with their constant drivel.Quote:

I honestly think people only post about Celtic here to annoy the rest of us, they know the reaction they'll provoke yet they still constantly post thier crap. I can't understand it.
That's as far as I got "Pat O' Banton", my "Norf Landan" friend. I'll give you 24 hours to demonstrate the implication, and after that I'll dole out a ban like I do to all the rest of the accusatory muppets we get here that are unable to support their idiotic assertions with statements of fact.Quote:

So on the General football section you cannot post about Celtic? I thought it was for all non eL/ National team matters as I posted earlier if Celtic posts are on anything else apart from General football they should be moved.Quote:

That's why we don't want Celtic fans around here, they're unable to discuss topics in a reasonable, logical manner. Now go away.
adam
Not arguing, just a sincere question because I'm not that clear on it; are we allowed to talk about Celtic in general football or not?
I know that you said we should sign up to a Celtic site to talk about Celtic and I will but does that mean that we'll get banned/warned if we do mention Celtic in general football.
Obv. what you say goes and I'll respect that I just want some clearance on it-I will make my Celtic posts on another site but are we allowed to mention them in general football at all?
In all honesty I'd prefer you kept discussion of Celtic to dedicated Celtic sites. They have no place here and they attract muppets like flies to poo.

O.k boss no probs :)Quote:

It may have also escaped your attention that neither does someone cease being an Irishman/woman when they leave the country nor do they - to use an expression by Connor - become automatically Irish because of where their mother's waters broke. 'Bout time you grew up, or more preferably, take an evening course in modern Irish history, or at least a module dealing with emigration: I think this was quite a big event in the lives of many in Ireland pre 1997 (sarcasm, BTW, very much implied ).Quote:

Me too, but that's exactly the type of post that starts the ball rolling...... :rolleyes:

It is pretty clear what Celtic are. A club in Scotland founded by an Irishman for the Irish community. And as winners of the European Cup (that's Champions League to you) on one occasion and runners up on another, I'm quite proud of a fellow Irishman's achievements. However there seems to be a few 'real' Irishmen on this board who think it's an opportunity to ban anyone who wants to talk about the side - even if it's just in the General Football section. Pretty sad IMO.Quote:

BTW, Macy, nice to see you still sticking your face into my posts. I found an article in the Sunday Indo. I know you don't live in Longford but it's really funny but I thought of you teh moment I read it. Sweet George Alabama!!! :D

good man lopez, you believe everything you read in the papers..... :rolleyes:
i also read about celtic fans throwing bananas at coloured players, alabama parkhead perhaps ????? ;)
Exactly, so why mention it every ****ing time there's any talk about Celtic.Quote:

No need to stir it when you talk so much of it. ;) I'll take your word that Longford is a place of racial tolerence and Celtic Park is not. Personally I couldn't give a monkey's f*ck about either as I have no intention of visiting these two places in the foreseeable future.Quote:

The story in the Indo may well be fantasy (once again for your convenience, I DON'T GIVE A F*CK) but Celtic's Irish origins are not. Why has that got nothing to do with Ireland? Why does dahamsta need the urge to ban anyone who talks about it? So we get muppets on here. What about 7 secretos' homophobia and racist remarks about South African blacks. No public ban there from the caudillo.
Why threaten to ban someone for expressing his opinion which included Irish fans should support their local team first and that Celtic be confined to the General football section. The consensus from dahamsta is that Celtic (unlike Man Ure, etc) has nothing to do with Ireland and therefore should not be on this board.Quote:

The problem is as much down to those among us who have an irrational hatred of Celtic (jumping into threads we have no interest in) as much as it's down to abusive Celtic fans.
I've got no problem with anybody posting about Celtic on the General football section but you only have to look back over this thread to see why moderators get sick of them. The 'Celtic' threads usually run for ages and fill up very quickly as everyone seems to have an opinion (often extreme), there's been two pages added to this in an hour, and trawling through that to make sure nothing insulting or libellous has been written takes time.
By the way, it was all Hunky-Dory until Silvio Dante started in here, can't believe we haven't wound down form his efforts yet ;)
Yeah, it really is the only option.Quote:

This thread was started by Son of Erin wondering why his posts were binned. His first one was harmless enough: see http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=15008. It was his quip that Celtic is the only team worth following that was the pivotal moment in the binning. Personally I don't agree with him, but hey that's his choice. Didn't insult anyone but gets binned. He then posts about celtic in the EL section. A p*ss take or perhaps he's not the full Euro? Who cares. Didn't insult anyone. Didn't come out with insulting references to Prods, Gays or something close to my heart, Plastics, like a few of posters that are still free to roam (Ah yes, I'm too PC I know). Didn't say Celtic were an Irish club either.Quote:

In fact so far no mention of Ireland as an Irish club. Then comes top contender for the Planky Gang's next president, Colm - no you never repeat yourself do you? - with his 'save your Scottish crap for a site where people actually give a sh!t'. I could say the same about anything he writes because I've yet to read anything of substance unless you count garbage as substance. Take him to task about anything - like I did about his blinkered views of Irishness and the diaspora - and he f*cks off and sulks. Now the big baby wants to ban people too. :rolleyes: Probably only way anyone will take him seriously.
Funny no mention about that in your 'wonder when you were gonna bring up Celtic is Irish line' Dodge?Tiktok, I had no intention of going onto any thread about Celtic until I heard from Sylvo - convalescing in his ranch in Kildare at the moment - that a fatwah was about to be handed down to Pat O'B. For what? For expressing a perfectly reasoned opinion.Quote:

Personally, I feel the people that persist are just wind-up merchants at this stage. They know the reaction they'll get yet come back for more. If it was a Ramblers fan on the Cork forum they'd have been banned at this stage.Quote:

There's a thread which people can go around in circles on the issue all they want, any other's should be binned (not moved). IMHO of course.
Freudian slip? :rolleyes:Quote:
