I wasn't trying to say that at all. It's quite simple really, I saw a lot of Irish stuff at Celtic games when I was younger and naturally, that would attract any Irishmans interest.

Well yes, that's what I meant. There are genuine Celtic fans over here of course, who spend a lot of their hard earned money traveling to Celtic Park every second week. Now, while personally it's frustrating seing that when the EL is in desperate need of support, that's their choice and they're as "real" as any other fans. It's the bandwagon jumpers and the gobsh*tes who seem to be attracted to supporting celtic that put alot of people off, but obviously that doesn't apply to every Celtic fan and they can't all be tarred with the same brush.

I wasn't really directing that at you as just saying it in general, as there are some people who do try to claim that.

Fair enough, point taken too.

I beg to differ - but if a clubs history, roots etc... are not enough to distinguish why a club may have a significant support in Ireland then I'm not going to waste my time doing it. However for the record we are NOT all the same.

Man U has even more support in Ireland I would imagine, nobody trys to claim they're Irish. Well Dunphy did once I think

But history and roots, that being formed by an Irishman and flying a flag, do NOT make Celtic an Irish club. I've no problem with people supporting them, but they're a foreign club just like the rest.

Having been on work experience for the last week have been slughtly detached (from this board at least

) so have skipped a few pages-but for goodness sake; ya folk who everytime one of us even MENTIONS the world Celtic when we are playing well-we get crtiticism for 'hijacking' or we get a ban. But as soon as Celtic have a bad game-(and yes it was a bad game-i admit, we didn't paly great, we had injuries, the ref was a farce etc.etc.)-you're all on here going on about Celtic!
Have it one way or the other but at the moment to me it seems that it's one rule for when Celtic are winning and another for when we aren't

Looking back on it most 'hijacked' thread have been hijacked by anti-Celts having a pop! If we really want to discuss Celtic we go to the Huddle Board (or Old Firm Fans) where we don't have to put up with la!ngers!!
As for Lurgans Finest he's one of ma role modles so hey

Cobh Ramblers F.C, Celtic FC, ROI National Team-Erins finest!

Err so many support Belfast Celtic!

That because Belfast is in Ireland.
