    So what is the point? Oh right, Joe Lapira.

    Well I think he's sh!te and will never make as a professional footballer this side of the pond.

    Thats me done.

    I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.

    In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.

    You again. ffs...

    I seen a couple. Not many but I still don't think he stood out as a potential professional footballer that will be playing in Europe any time soon. He'll probably end up playing in the MLS.

    I suppose if you don't consider any "rebel" songs sectarian then you've rationalised away the possibility of anything sectarian coming out of that quarter.
    I dont quite understand what you are trying to say. Rebel songs are political, not sectarian. Please try and understand the differnece.

    Some common sense from our new signings - yourself and billydoneit.

    What is really disappointing is that, even before the Rangers trial, there seemed to be many on this forum who were hoping (rather than predicting) he would fail.

    I hope he proves them wrong, for Ireland's sake.

    It would make my day if he got a contract at Rangers, as an agnostic this Rangers Celtic thing doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I love the rivalry but the underlying hatred is sickening.

    What games did you see him play in? His 5 minutes against Ecuador?

    Saying he can/will play MLS and can't in Europe is ********. MLS is far and away higher standard than quite a few European leagues. The right back on whatever team Celtic played the other day (i think it was one of the two in texas) had McGeady in his pocket and he is supposed to be good enough for top flight football in Europe

    What shɨt you speak. If you knew anything - anything - about Celtic Football Club's history you'd know full well that its most successful manager was a Protestant. You'd also know about Bertie Peacock, club captain in the late 1950s, who was a Protestant Orangeman from Coleraine. As Celtic fans we know our history and are very proud of the club's inclusive nature, which is why Sproule was not booed for his socio-religious background. See Torn-Ado's post for the real reason Sproule attracted such attention from Celtic fans during his time playing in Scotland. And Aberdeen fans. And Hearts fans. And Rangers fans (and he's one of them, no? )

    I'd suggest that it's you, rather than any of the Celtic fans you never tire of decrying, who is a prejudiced bigot. Your hatred of Celtic has made you a bitter boy and I'd imagine such negativity reigns supreme elsewhere in your mind. I only hope for your sake that you grow out of it because, if you don't, you'll become even more bitter and twisted than you so clearly are currently.

    What a load of bol**x and you know it, you guys think celtic fans are angels, well they're not, they're scum, just like Rangers. I've been in the away end at celtic, I've heard the sh!te their fans come out with. You call me a bigot because I don't like celtic, so by your reckoning a lot of people on this forum are bigots. Get a fooking grip

    Torn-ado reckons Keane was booed because he was Irish, and Sproule was booed because he was a thug. That is fooking hilarious. I've heard Sproule being called a "dirty orange bas**rd" MANY MANY times by celtic fans.



    Perhaps you can also tell me why the celtic fans sing IRELANDS national anthem at Scottish football matches, then explain why they sing it in ENGLISH
