If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
How about Easter Road?
Green seats, Irish-friendly hosts, big enough stadium.
Let's face it I hardly think we'd sell out ****** Park. What is it like 60,000? We wouldn't bring that many, even to Glasgow. And I don't think ****** fans from Scotland are going to come watch us either, in case someone's dumb enough to bring that up. I think we could fill Easter Road but I think ****** Park would just look empty. There weren't even that many at Jackie McNamara's testimonial.

****** is banned lol,is this some sort of Irish joke,imagine banning a football team's name on a football website
,you couldn't make it up!
MOT
Banning the name Celt!c thats harlarious! Nanny state! Nanny state! Nanny state!
Anyhoo..I think a major factor in deciding wherw they will play the possible game is the irish factor....If people are gonna start complaining and rightly so about having to move the game abroad. They will play the irish card and try to play it off like where not really playing away from home more a home away form home (which it total bull crap IMO)
However...........
On another point...I think it may also be the best ground in the Uk to play the game. Alsmost gauranteed sellout and atmosphere. If Celt!c Park is chosen personally I'd just go with it.
I couldn't be arsed going to watch a meaningless testimonial match but I can be arsed to watch my country / team play in a crucial world cup match.
And, as I said above, a very large number of Glaswegians came out in support of Ireland in the 1987 game against Scotland at Hampden. Why is it dumb to suggest they'd do the same again?
Cos they're not Irish. WOuld you support Scotland if they played over here??

They did it before though & in large numbers. The whole of the old so-called "Seltic End" of Hampden was full of them - I remember it vividly. I think it's realistic to expect many would do the same again, even if they're not Irish.
Just checking to see if the word Rangers as well as Ce!tic is banned.
Discrimination !!
Many Celts scottish fans support Ireland because they have never been accepted in Scotland, even today this still happens. Every fan of the Tic remembers the days when Tic players were booed at Hampden while playing for Scotland by the pro rangers/protestant crowd (this is not a anti-protestant thing this is FACT and is one of Scotlands secret shames).
Just because your not born in Ireland doesn't mean you aren't Irish. Many people are born in different countries and because of there families are bought up with there Irish roots. Nationally is about who you feel you belong too and how you were raised by your family.
Many people in Scotland are still bought up the Irish way because as a mate of mine from Edinburgh says "we don't have anything in common with these people"
Ok, so by your logic just because I wasn't born in Burma doesn't mean I'm not Burmese??
What I originally said was why don't we play at Easter Road?

Talk about a specious argument.
Why not Easter Road? Because it is too small. Also by your point their history does not have the same strength of long standing bond with Ireland as ****** does. Orchard is quite correct about a fair amount of people over there who do not identify themselves more as Irish than Scottish which extends into their preference of national team.
Your arguement has no logic whatsoever, OC is quiet clearly pointing out that loads of 2nd generation Irish people exist and feel Irish and support Ireland, there are plenty of these in Glasgow.
Why not Edinburgh? Well it shows lack of ambition to play at a smaller ground and also statistically the Irish population moved far more to the west of Scotland (where Glasgow is based) then the east of Scotland so more chance of generating local support.
Where am I now? I'm over here,
I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.
Damn just because you can type faster it looks like I was the one copying your wise words.Talk about a specious argument.

If your parents/grand parents were from Ireland but lived in Burma and they bring you up in the Irish way of life/cultures etc..instead of the Burma ones you'll feel more Irish than Burmese because of the way you've been raised. It doesn't just happen in Scotland, may people born in America, England and Australia would consider themselves Irish because they've been raised in the Irish ways/cultures etc..
Not only would Céltic Park guarantee to sell out for an play-off match involving Ireland, it would also provide a but of money for touts.
BTW, A relatively small percentage of Céltic fans support Scotland in football compared to other club teams. Not all the thousands of Irish flags are Irish people here at the UEFA cup final:

And Jackie wouldn't have got close to the 50,000 if it wasn't against Ireland.
The 3 people against the use of Céltic Park in this thread can use all the excuses they want (ie. location) but at the end of the day the 3 of you are completely anti-****** which is enough for me to ignore all other reasons you post.
Come on eirebhoy, you know there are none so blind as those who refuse to see. On the other hand, only we who are enlightened know the way to Paradise.
Anyway folks, since it's the same intractable positions emerging again and all the bases have been covered, I've got to put my mod hat on and close this thread. Dem's de rules.
