Aw come on! Is it not that your argument has been snookered? Liverpool, Protestant. Must tell the Catholic Liverpool supporters I've known along the years about that one. The soldiers song being played in a 'foreign' club. The National, Galtymore and Gresham (plus hundreds of pubs I went to in the eighties) must have failed to read the script too. BTW, don't the Hibees' fans sing the SS in their matches with Rangers and Hearts? Or is it 'A Nation Once Again'?

Yes, youre right! I had edited my post before i read yours

No probs Eoin. Had this argument before. In English it's generally accepted that a 'c' before an 'e' has an 's' sound. But then in English, rules are there to be broken I suppose.

Not forgetting The Stone Roses ''She bangs the drums'' being played after the match.

Stayed on a while so I could listen to the whole of it, plus smile at the South East corner as it was emptying.

The Stone Roses are from Manchester, England.
I know some Celtic fans who would have a problem with that

I've known some some REAL 'Irish' people who have a problem with me, Sylvo and PP coming from England. Your point?

AHHH yoooou know it, yoooou show it, now the time has come to shoot you down, what a sound.

That has got to be my favourite post giving out about Celtic fans on this thread, we've had all the giving out about the booing craic, the craic about people calling them an Irish club, the chucky'oke that happens from time to time, the fact's about the bandwaggon jumpers and people not following their local team but now Celtic fans are being accused of having a problem with proberly one of the greatest bands ever just because of where they come from.
Son I reckon you've been taking those magic disco smarties and are now on the come down, you want to stay away from that stuff kid.
But i'm going to have to use that as my signature. Son you've made my day with that post.
If only i'd known about them coming from some English city when I went to see them at Alexandra Palace in 89, I want my money back, to think I even told people that I liked some of the songs off The second Coming album.
I feel so angry now. Don't tell me anything about where Echo and the Bunnymen came from, if I found out that they came from some city in England the hurt would be too much to take.

Sorry Lopez, we don't sing SS or A Nation..... at Easter Road for ANY matches. Why the hell would we????????

[Hibs4Ever]

Don't know who your friends are, but they're VERY wrong. I've been season ticket holder at easter road for past 5 years. These songs are NOT sang at Hibs matches. So stop coming on here with your bull sh*t

[Hibs4Ever]

They must have mis-heard then ............I stand corrected

No problem

See you's in the SFA Cup Final.

[Aldini98]

Celtic play in SCOTLAND, they're SCOTTISH.

Also, wish they'd stop singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" , its a Liverpool Supporters song.

Wow-two brand spanking new arguments there! Fresh out the box and only used 999999999999999999999 time before welll done!

You'll never walk alone!........unless you're Alex Rae's tooth

[liam88]

Let Celtic have that tin pot this season. The rangers are taking back whats rightfully theirs - the league championship.

The future is bright, the future is orange!

What a bizzare post
Will you be autograph hunting in Bolton this weekend?

Well maybe Hibs have managed to sanitise their Irish connections just in time for you to make an appearance but it's not what I saw in the eighties whenever they made a brief spot on the box. Matches with Hearts and Rangers seemed just as much a Chucky Oke as Celtic's. Tricolours and the old IPP 'party' flag (the one with the Harp on it with 'Erin Go Bragh' underneath) were much in evidence.

As for coming on here with bull sh*t? LOL, why not take some of your own advice?

[liam88]

Is this longer than Longford's back four yet?

It's a song from a musical first and foremost.

I've just had a revelation, I live in Ingerland so I must be Ingerlish

strictly speaking yes.....but i think this might have a couple of merged threads because of the various flame wars through the years

Stupid thing to say really???

When Celtic play in Europe they are representing SCOTLAND
If they'd won UEFA cup a couple of years ago, it would have been a SCOTTISH club winning it.

[Pat O' Banton]

Not really you are judging the club without taking into account their background. So for example would you say that London Irish, are simply representing Ingerland when they play in Europe? Is there no reason for Irish people to support them from an Irish perspective? To parapharse from another thread are we saying that people, football clubs or a miriad if other institutions exist in isolation without a history or an identity and does this history and identity not shape the person or institution? Or are you saying that as soon as people leave Ireland and set up institutions to represent or look after Irish people they still have no right to claim any sort of Irish identity?

I was a youth player at London Irish between 1983-5 and they wouldn't accept members unless they were Irish, Irish parents/granparents, or played for an IRFU club. Lots of 'planters' there though, Dav.

I went back in 1995 to do a project for Uni and spoke to (an English) Director of Marketing. He told me they were debating about getting rid of the rule. Even he couldn't join the club although was employed by it. Now they've got England internationals playing for them.
