No sympathy for them. Shouldn't even be in the league. They don't have any fans, and they just take our tax money that'd be better spent subsidising yak butter and archery events.Originally Posted by cornflakes
sounds like something Lim Til I Die would say...
Are they hell.
You can have an Irish experience without actually being in Ireland. It's narrow minded to say otherwise.I've heard the actual quote, and it's hard to argue with him:
"In some ways, Celtic is more Irish than any sporting club in Ireland, because it represents and embodies this absolutely central Irish experience."
Supporting your local team instead of one in a foreign country is hardly a "central Irish experience"
I thought that was having an Oirish experience?
In all seriousness, the problem is not that people support other teams in other countries its that they do it exclusively or don't acknowledge local soccer teams. Last nights Rovers game was last night was an example of the attitude.
Whilst you support Celtic, and while personally I can't understand it, at least you attend LOI games and understand the importance if that.
Same goes with the likes of Peadar and Stoke.
I agree but it's never going to change. It's engrained in the culture and one set of gob****es pass down their traditions to the next. It's just how folk are brought up, but it's up to good people like the folk on here to change attitudes, I just think people go the wrong way around it. This might sound dramatic but I think it should have been taken up at a political level like some sort of campaign to promote the league as a way of improving facilities and providing employment by supporting our own as well. That was obviously never gonna happen when good auld Bertie's office was a stone throw from Tolka and he never bothered his backside once to come along and support his local team.
Well he did manage to sponsor us the game before the local elections in 2009 on behalf of his brother. The bloody Bowez head on them.

In Tiocfaidharmani world would this make your living room "more old trafford" than em... Old Trafford ? Or does that old guff only apply to Celtic ?
Oh my.

That would be no use to our barstoolers though. It implies they might want to head to a match on a barstool.
On a side note, that looks like a lot of fun.
Anyone see the ad for premier soccer Saturday with Dara Maloney wondering about like he's lost without it....

Ah yes. The football season Is back. oh yeah.

"There'll still be some Scottish Football on"
Arghdgredgrhcjgfjf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah football is back. Woooooooooohoooooooooooo! Three months with no football whatsoever comes to an end today. Yeehaa!
The relief is something alright. No need to bother with Shels, Ireland tonight, Dublin tomorrow... god save our Sky.
"Football is back", according to RTE 2 just now.
I can't tell ya what a joy it was to watch Newcastle v Arsenal this evening. The quality of that just shows you that the Premier League is the only game in town. Especially if you've never watched a Bundesliga game or been to Drom.
First sentence in this is worth a facepalm

It's satire.
