no but it shows the fact that just coz liverpool fans sing this song does nt make them irish as was being suggested earlier

The name of the thread is "everton/liverpool catholic/protestant "Originally Posted by anto1208
Kind of sets the tone for the thread,so it hardly just cropped up
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Heard the Ajax Jewish connection discussed on the radio earlier this week (think it was Dunphy's show). Apparently the Ajax fans sing something along the lines of "we are the super jews". Not sure if it is just to wind other fans up. The Feyenoord fans apparently make hissing noises in response, intended to sound like the release of gas in the gas chambersOriginally Posted by stojkovic

Its not really a recent thing that they have been selling Star of David's outside the ground. The old ground was built in a Jewish area and the connection developed from there. The players in the 70's were very emersed in the Jewish culture, using Yiddish pharses and such.
When they were drawn against an Isreali team in the European or Uefa Cup the F-side were given a special welcome by the Isreali's (one of the Isreali papers went as far as to call the match a Jewish derby)
However some Jewish fans who go and watch Ajax are a bit embrassed by the behaviour of the F-side and point out the club aren't really Jewish. (info from David Winner's excelent 'Brilliant Orange'

Yeah fans do the same hissing sound when they are playing Spurs.Originally Posted by Dotsy
Also the chant - 'There's only one Yassar Arafat'.
Before he died obviously.
There is only one religion at Liverpool Football Club and that religion my friend is Football

This religion debate is downright pathetic and evrybody is brought down to a schoolboy level with this drivel.
LOL. You're being condescending, yet you can't even spell Pseudo, or Protestant for that matter. Ah, the ironyOriginally Posted by anto1208
For the second time, that's not what I was suggesting at all. Maybe you're the one who should pay more attention. What I was suggesting is that it proves that Liverpool FC and it's fans, i.e. the locals, don't give a toss what religon their fans are. The club has no religious attachment, it is a club for all, and the Irish are more welcome than any. At no time have I tried to prove that Liverpool FC are Irish or Catholic. (sorry about the misquote, copy and paste mistake)Originally Posted by anto1208
BTW, the Rangers song to the theme of TFOA is an anti-irish song, full of vitriol. The Liverpool fans adopted the theme of TFOA after Irelands play-off with Holland at Anfield, as a tribute to the Irish fans vocal performance on the Kop. There's a hell of a difference there and no comparison really. Hun fans of a hun club wouldn't be adopting an Irish song in tribute to Irish fans, this religion thing is a load of utter rubbish.
True, it'd take Irish fans to come up with crap like this, when the irony is the actual people of Liverpool couldn't give two sh*ts about religion, or stuff that happened in the 1800'sOriginally Posted by joey B

Its crazy to see people be what society wants them to be but not me.
You are quite quite right in what you say.Originally Posted by Thunderblaster
There are some pathetic bigots on here say one club is worse than the other.
Well TWO WRONGS etc.
From my perspective I posted the thing about AJAX to wind them up (tongue in cheek) to show them how pathetic they are.
Amen to that
The thread was about Liverpool, Everton, Catholic & Protestant. As an aside it developed into a a discussion on the Jewish identity that some Ajax fans have adopted, Judaism is a religion like Catholism & Protestantism, this is where it has relavence in this debate.Originally Posted by Thunderblaster
Also would you not say that football clubs are about identity and some have religion as part of that identity? Some have local or regional pride, some have politics, so its not necessarially drivel (some posts maybe drivel others not so) its just something you don't like.
And it is not strictly true that people in Liverpool couldn't care less about religion, you may one day wish to go to Southport Orange parade and hear all the scouse accents around. What you are looking to say is its the majority of people in Liverpool don't care about religion, just as some people in Liverpool could not care about football so would not really care if you are red or blue.

Isn't that not stating the obvious? I thought that would be taken as given, of course there are protestant supporters of Liverpool\Everton, even Orange Men. So what? Who cares?Originally Posted by Pat O' Banton
Completely obvious, however it was in response to this rather sweeping simplistic statement;Originally Posted by 4tothefloor

pseudo or sudo are the same thing and are both acceptable spellings but i did nt think think there was a hard line grammer group running this forumOriginally Posted by 4tothefloor
liverpool fans and locals !!!!! next you ll be saying utd fans come from manchester !
and that stuff about it being a tribute is nonsence , what did the fans say to them selfs hhhmmmm there is a song being sung really loudly by fans from a different country, lets take the song completly change all the words but keep the general tune as a tribute to them
and finally can i yet again point out that no one is saying this catolic/prod thing matters or that any one in liverpool cares i dont care if your catolic ,prodestant or austrialian ,
it was only posted coz ive been asked it over and over again and i was nt sure so i found out the correct answer and thought to myself maybe there are other fans of liverpool or everton constantly being asked this question and might be interested in finding out the true answer .

http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drill...50309-1830.htm So Everton are the 'peoples club' are they, nobody in Liverpool supports Liverpool then? I could have sworn the addresses in that article were in Liverpool, maybe i'm seeing things.Originally Posted by anto1208
That's just what the official Liverpool FC (and all the non-official) website(s) say how it originated. But they're all wrong. It's all rubbish, 'cos you're right anto, seeing that you see yourself as some kind of know-it-all spokesman on merseyside football fans. I've given links to back up my points, where is your proof that this is all 'nonsence'. It's only 'nonsence' because it suits you to dismiss it as 'nonsence'.Originally Posted by anto1208
