If you insist on being so anally retentive you should at least make sure your grammar is correct.

I have corrected it for you

And **** Omagh as well, **** hole of a ground, Now i know Solitude isn't great, but Omagh is a hole.

Oh and DG, the post about the NI managers religion, well the way i read it i assummed it was about Sammy Mac, hence my reply. I know Gerry Armstrong is the NEW assistant, as he's a cousin of my father. Ah wel can't have everything can you.

Just reading a few of the original posts on this thread, and 1 caught my eye from gspain.

West Belfast does have a side in the top flight - Linfield. Maybe their MP should go to a few games and meet his constituents.

Actually Linfield are from South Belfast and i believe always have been. Linfield is actually an area around Sandy Row, and i believe they were founded by workers from the Linfield Mill.

Hard to say really

We started off asking people whether Belfast Celtic should reform and at the moment are in a sem-secaterian flame-war. The threads been running a long while and has past through topics including Irish (and British

) history and.....curry

Liam it's just booted off on the general football discussions between the lot of them again, title uk team, try and calm them down, they might listen to you

**TommyT** · 26/02/2004, 6:46 PM

Apparently Donegal Celtic took only 20-30 away fans to a top of the table clash away to Bangor in January. People seem to be over estimating their support.

**BannsideBoy** · 26/02/2004, 8:02 PM

There would be a massive surge in 'celtic' fans for big games such as linfield however, we just have to look at these glory hunters who follow cliftonville to big matches wearing glasgow celtic shirts , flying glasgow celtic flags and singing glasgow celtic songs, nothing what so ever with supporting cliftonville.

**BannsideBoy** · 27/02/2004, 2:42 AM

I see no need for either Rangers or Celtic tops at Irish league venues, those who do, do so, in my opinion only to provoke a reaction from opposing fans and to conduct their bigotry in a public manor. It serves no means to further their particular �cause� whatever it may be, far from it, it has the opposite effect, it tarnishes the reputation of those particular clubs affected, and alienates the true supporters of those clubs who detest these leaches.

I could point out the Glory Hunters at the IC Final last season, you had over 4000 there. Where are they now? Plenty of Rainjurs tops on show as well, so basically sort your own house out 1st before you get at others.

Tell me this what Celtic songs do cliftonville sing? The odd rendition of you'll never walk alone, but that's it.

More like 10 away fans Tommy, DC don't have a great home support, nevermind any away support. Also DC like to go out their way to get offended. A DC board member took exception to a bangor supporter Bangor Loyal flag and deemed it sectarian, the flag in question was a NI flag with the words Bangor Loyal on it, hardly offensive unless of course you go well out of your way to be offended.

A topic regarding the 'superstripes' has not come up yet to contribute.

My interest in this site is to widen my horizons regarding eirecom league teams, I read their forums but hardly ever contribute in them.

There must be a topic about Coleraine that we can all discuss and perhaps allow Davros to leave his 'unionist baggage' at home. Things can't be that quiet!

**BannsideBoy** · 04/03/2004, 1:17 PM

Any topic regarding CFC at the moment circle around our current financial situation, and its been done to death about us one minute going bankrupt, the next we have a sugar daddy bailing us out and the best one i have heard is that we would be forced to reform and start in the junior leagues again, i can't see the irish league kicking out the team with possibly the 4th biggest support in it.

Our ground isn't in too bad a state either, much the same as many other grounds in both the irish and eircom leagues ( I will refrain from the word stadia ).

So its not too bad, all we need is to get those supporters who follow teams in England and Scotland to start going to Local games and we should see an upturn in the fortunes of all the clubs on this Island. ( easier said than done )

Actually I saw a couple of threads a while ago about Linfield fans complaining about Coleraine's sectarian chanting.
