Celtic Discussion

[lopez]

Well, that just leaves me wondering has the anti-celtic contingent on foot.ie grown, or have those EL fans who might argue in Celtic's favour grown sick of the condescension and insults and backed away from the debate.

Lopez, read my post, I was playing the diplomat, if that makes me a muppet, grand boy, I've better things to be doing than trading insults with you.

Insults? Hmmm. No I was wondering what exactly is taught in Irish schools about emigration. I get the impression that you think that my 'obsession' with the lack of any teaching on this subject is all in the mind. Perhaps you could enlighten me as A Arse, Colm, and Conor's mate Neil, don't seem to want 'to trade insults' either.

What p*sses me off is not being anti-Celtic. I've a minimal interest in the club which Davros, Sylvo and others well know. While being accused of doing the work the muppets mentioned above can't be ars*d to do, I'll list my probs with the club.

1. Many of their fans feel that the club is on par with the National team.

2. Many of their Scottish fans are one minute weekend provos, the next supporting Scotland.

3. The religious bigotry I've witnessed at the games I attended in the eighties.

4. Supporting Celtic against an Irish club side you'd otherwise support.

5. Going every week/fortnight to watch a club in a cr*p league while claiming the league back home - who recent history of games between clubs of both leagues suggests is more than a match for - is cr*p.

6. Banging on about Rangers' years of religious discrimination while playing against the said team and taking up ticket allocations.

....oh yes and the fact that every Celtic song must be sung with a Gorbals accent. Had to put up with that behind me in Basel with the only redeeming feature was that one of the songsters' voice broke (and b*llocks no doubt dropped) halfway through the game rendering him incapable of continuing.

What p*sses me off is that the people who slag off Celtic - a club founded by an Irishman - would have no qualms about following other foreign clubs that have absolutely no connection with either themselves or Ireland except that in AD such and such, they had an Irish player, and then insult anyone Irish that was born outside the 26C. Personally I think these people have real issues with emmigrants and their offspring...a sort of jealousy, but I'll leave that to Freud, or ignorance. Hence the question of education.

Sorry Dav, much as there is the temptation to bring in these eejits' birthplace, most people from Cork are fine and remember mi suegra lives in West Cork and I've had no trouble out there other than my p*ss poor Irish getting me a whiskey in the pub when I wanted a mineral water.

This is a countrywide problem. A sad symptom of a succession of governments - some headed and containing plastics - in denial. The results are for all to see on this thread.

Yeah spot on WAR .... it was no where near as good asd it usually is !! .... you sad sad man. Oh yeah its normally a paradise beyond you're wildest dreams ... WAR didn't you pick the short straw. I bet you are crippled with bitterness that you picked the wrong game.

shugk1 .... come off the stage ... did you just register to join in this thread. YOU muppet.

Is that directed at me or shugk1? I said I was slightly disappointed but I had a great day out. I'm not the world's biggest Celtic supporter but unlike you I don't carry around a huge chip on my shoulder about it.

Lot of rubbish flying round here
Tiktok you talk a lot of sense. People should not neglect their El side and when this happens it is really sad-choice between watching Celtic or Cobh in Europe I'd be at the Jungle
Although I love Celtic I think that everyone should support their local side as well. I have strong family connections IN Ramblers and I support them through and through.
I also support Celtic and don't like to see insults against them (I get enough of this in England).
I do appreciate where lots of the anti-Celtic feelings come from and I think incidents such as people arriving for Celtic's match but not City's European match are very sad
I don't see this as a reason to hate Celtic but obviously some people do and this isn't going to change.
Of course City fans should try visting the Jungle now and then to watch the best Cork team in action

Can someone please explain muppet, is it someone who overlooks their local EL side to support Celtic or all Celtic supporters. I hope I'm not one I'm born'n'bred in glasgow's eastend. (the bright side of town)

Don't know about Celtic fans or their detractors but Big Bird, Ernie, Kermit and Gonzo to me are the f*ckwits that come on here and make some snide comment about Irish people born abroad which they can't begin to back up and then crawl back under their ManU quilt cover because they can't explain to someone like me, how much of their history lessons at school were given over to emigration. You know who you are, muppets? How's about some f*cking answers!

[lopez]

Ummmm, who are you talking about?

Not you, but if you want to stick in your nose and be spokesman for the planky gang then be my guest.

[Plastic Paddy]

Ummmm, who are you talking about?

We've had run-ins with at least one of them Conor, as previously discussed. I'm still waiting - weeks later - for him to answer questions I posed then. He can't, but if he thinks I've forgotten, he's another thing coming.

Lopez - you know yourself, even had emigration been on the history curriculum at ard scoil, it would have been wasted on these narrow-minded eejits. End of story.

True, but then they wouldn't be able to use that as an excuse for their ignorance. Thanks for the tip-off, PP. I won't be holding my breath for an answer then.

I think the most important thing to remember about the Greenwash is that we are Champions, Under 21 Champions and Under 19 Champions.
Rangers have not one a single trophy at any level
That's worth partying about
