Hmm ther go a few myths down the swanney.
EL grounds are like good episodes of The Simpsons, no matter how many times you see them they're still funny

If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
so the anti-united sentiments were formed in Dublin? i'd love to know what happened to make you dislike us enough to jump on the leeds/liverpool scum-bandwagon and refer to us as Munichs.
I want to know what part of Glasgow Dublin is in, or is that different?

You've obviously never met the Irish Celtic fans;a more supercilious,conceited,arrogant bunch would be difficult to meet!& thats ignoring the ones,who have an indepth knowledge of remote controls,or voices are yet to break

what i can never understand is why they wave green, white and kind of yellowy/gold flags. What has that got to do with Ireland?
I can just about take the out of towner debate from the liars (even if they are wrong and clutching at straws), but for out of town fans from other clubs to be calling United on it - well, just hypocritical numpties.

Family from Longford, brought up in Manchester, lived in Longford.... Whats your connection with Glasgow?

So basically you have no connection at all to Glasgow. Dress it up all you like, you're just the same as the "Surrey hordes" - you only like Celtic because of the percieved Irishness, and of course when you started supporting them when they were doing 9 in a row...
btw Manchester has a massive Irish population (40% are Irish descent), and I'd hazard a guess that United have actually had as many (probably more) Irish players than Celtic.

Yeah, but only united have glory hunting fans in Ireland apparently.

So none then.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Yes, Celtic has Irish connections but the question was what connection have you to Glasgow. You have absolutely none.
Can we assume you don't like it when people question your support for a club that you have no geographic connection to? In which case don't berate other clubs fans for doing the same.

No, I said you have no connection with Glasgow, keep up!
No, I did a useful course but I'd imagine that the history of Scottish football has little to do with even a course like Arts.you obviously didn't attend any history classes @ UCD?!
incidentally remember supporting you v. Everton in the ECWC ... or is that too 'patronising' for Tims' to lower themselves?!
Of course, what EL team do you follow? Can't recall you mentioning.You EL elitists should remember you can follow Celtic,or even ManUre & EL teams......or is that not ethnically pure enough for you?!
They're equally Irish but no one claims that Senna is Irish to rationalise their glory hunting support. BTW anyone who claims that Senna is over-rated is clearly an idiot.Whilst we're on the subject, Glasgow Celtic (see threads passim) are far more Irish, say than some over-rated ex-racing driver ... even if he was Brazilian?!
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Mainly talk about football, since they aren't stupid enough to use the "No United fans come from Manchester" arguement when they don't come from Glasgow (or North London or Liverpool etc etc). Only a fśckwit would use such an arguement when they don't come from the same city as the team they follow.

I'm sure I'd be fine, I've never had a problem with Glaswegian Celtic fans, and I've mixed with them at many testimonials.

so the anti-united sentiments were formed in Dublin? i'd love to know what happened to make you dislike us enough to jump on the leeds/liverpool scum-bandwagon and refer to us as Munichs.Read back and realised it wasn't that clear. I'd refer to the Leeds/Liverpool fans who use the Munich's term as scum, in exactly the same way as any United fan who (to use a different example) made helicopter gestures at Chelsea after Matthew Harding died are scum. It wasn't my intention to tar a club's entire support with the 'scum' brush.
Davros, you can't critiscise United fans who don't live in/come from Manchester while at the same time supporting Celtic even though you don't live in/come from Glasgow. That's just hypocrisy, pure and simple. Just because you feel the link between Celtic and ireland, doesn't mean that my starting to follow United while Stapleton, Whiteside and Moran played for them is any less valid than your own reasons.
Well said, Tik Tok, Celtic are a foreign team with irish links and Man Utd are a foreign team with irish links and so are liverpool. So anybody who supports any of these teams and then slags someone fro supporting similar teams as jumping on the bandwagon is hypocritical. I support Spurs caused i met Chris Hughton as a kid and he was black and irish and he was a great player and very nice man. He is still and spurs and back with ireland so all is good in my book. But Davros you cannot have a go at Man Utd irish fans for glory hunting etc, when you are doing the same. Hibs wear green, they were formed before Celtic , they are just as Irish as Celtic, but i dont see many Hibs jerseys in Dublin or at Ireland matches or anywhere outside Edinburgh to be honest. Irish Celtic supporters are equally as guilty as glory hunting as LIverpool or Man Utd Irish fans. Not that i blame them though
Jesus,(sorry for taking the lord's name in vain) what have I walked into here,Neil you're probably right we are a foreign team to some Irish, but as far as I know the Bhoys that come over from the Emerald Isle would never dream of supporting an english club for reason's more known to themselves. As for Hib's there are some of the support who dont even know what HIBERNIA(NS) means, although most do but dont care. Being Scottish and proud but also proud of my Irish ancestry it is hard to being called a bog Irish tarrier and told to go home where I belong when I have been born&bred in Glasgow. I'm sorry this has been my first post, I was only wanting to check how SLIGO where doing. (Neil this has'nt specifically been aimed at you, just can't believe some of the debates going on previously).
Paranoid not, knowing the truth yes.
Welcome on board Shug. Just a shame you had to join at the tail end of yet another anti-Celtic rant from the Brothers Superior.
Look boys, I know you're not having a go at all Celtic fans, just i) the Irish ones, ii) those who don't come from Glasgow, and iii) those who feel their club has a special affinity with Ireland, but can you now let it go? Firstly, there'd be no Celtic fans left, and secondly, it's getting as bad as the RMK debate...whoops, there goes another shibboleth...

Semper in faecibus sole profundum variat
to be fair PP, i'm not having a go at Davros (or anyone else) for supporting Celtic, I've no problem with people supporting whoever they choose to. But I will call him on
1. referring to me (indirectly) as 'a munich'
2. questioning my link to a team I support when his own links are equally as distant
by the way, welcome Shug, Sligo have seen better days I'm afraid, their website www.sligorovers.com is kept bang up to date if you're after more info.
