Celtic Muppets

[Dotsy]

Bigot? So Celtic Fans booing Rangers players at Landsdowne isn't bigotry, but saints4ever calling Celtic fans 'muppets' is


I agree with what you've said Dotsy, but this really reads like ''I'm not racist, sure don't I work with a black fella''

Hardly, I have lived in Old Bawn (in Tallaght) for 10 years. Didn't play my football there which is why I mentioned specifically meeting people from the two areas playing ball.

The the DJ played TINA TURNER - SIMPLY THE BEST this was when the table of about 15 lads all wearing Ceptic jerseys start going f*cking MAD, screaming and shouting abuse at DJ, throwing beer mats and bits of food at him, then singing hail hail,
Just because THE BEST was played at Ibrox

*******s are *******s no matter what team they support!!!

How come noone's mentioned Mark Walters and his bananas yet?

Laugh it off all you want pal but hes a bigot and your not far behind for defending him.

So 15 lads (Irish? Scots?, both?) who support Glasgow Celtic and the RoI whilst in a pub to watch a match react to a song played by Rangers (current)....their WOMD are beermats and chips.

In victory they sing 'Hail Hail'.

Charge: Daft boys who've had too much to drink forgetting where they are and not appreciating that their audience live in this century?

Or was it 15 'Republicans' who use Celtic and the RoI as vehicles to express their politics. They'll lash out for any reason to annoy the wider community whom they believe have selfishly abandoned the same people that died to free them?

Charge: Failure to organise appropriate political gathering

Grow up...

Some of the comments have been near fascist...it's sickening to see how much you resent your recent history. It's a disgrace knowing that you choose to dismiss how real an issue sectarianism and racism has been, and still is.

If Ireland needed the help of the near 1m Scots with Irish heritage, it would be given without question....

Because Conor74 is "in hiding"

So you think I'm close to being a bigot 'a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from his own'?
How exactly do you come to that conclusion 'pal', because I don't see it?

I think ATT should read people's posts a bit more carefully before jumping in and calling people bigots.

Was in The Submarine Bar for the match on Saturday. About an hour after the match was over the DJ came on. The atmosphere was good, everyone enjoying themselves as much as they could after the result. The the DJ played TINA TURNER - SIMPLY THE BEST this was when the table of about 15 lads all wearing Ceptic jerseys start going f*cking MAD, screaming and shouting abuse at DJ, throwing beer mats and bits of food at him, then singing hail hail,

MUPPETS

Don't know if this was answered in the thread but "simply the best" is a loyalist solgan and its no wonder rangers play it with there history. Also, in the rangers "version" of simply the best the hordes of bigots chant **** like FTP etc...Everytime I hear that song it makes me sick, in Ireland the song stands for loyalism.

I quite like Tina Turner myself. Shame the song has been tainted. Wonder what she'd say if she knew quite a number of supporters of 'white power' were claiming her song as their anthem - Clearest example being Johnny 'Wet me bed' - (cue Conor and reference to Mark Walters...if he wasn't 'in hiding' that is).

[lopez]

He was using it long before Rangers...I think.

[sylvo]

Yes EIREBOY i do hate Ceptic.

And thats mainly because of so called "fans" like the ones I'm talking about

MUPPETS

Yea I have noticed a bit that you do seem to have a slight dislike towards Celtic.


I am not going to at all say that all Celtic fans in Ireland are angels, i've met a fair few eejits that have left me p**sed off with their carry on, but that does not mean that every Celtic fan is like that.

I have supported Celtic since the 70's and I for one deplore sectarianism and have always got on great with workmates who are Rangers fans.

You seem to think that its just Celtic fans that are prone to a bit of acting the muppet, I suppose you don't remember or know of how Hibs fans are quite known to dress up in their casual gear and got involved in a bit of organised football violence, but hey its just Celtic fans that act the muppet.

You need a music make over Lopez ma man.

[FarBeag]

Let people support who they want,what ffin difference does it make. Every football following team has its scum and its true down to earth supporters and this includes Celtic.There is some outrageous statements being made here and i cant believe some people can be so narrow minded.

It'd be nice if the fan police was disbanded and people were left to support the club of their choice in peace.

The way supporting a club works is quite simple. For a, b, and/or c a person is intrigued by, takes a fancy to, or feels an affinity to a club. Hence they invest their time and energy following them, all the while the affinity grows. They invest in that club. They feel and are a part of it.

Nobody knows quite how the chip on the shoulders of the fan police got there. It seems ultimately to boil down to the human vice of jealousy. The fan police seek to ridicule some fans for x, y, z. They want to marginalize that fans enjoyment and participation, ruin as best they can the experience and allegiance that fan has and feels. Shame shame.
