Celtic Discussion

Says something about their mentality when they take childish delight in someone suffering an injury. How old are those guys? Ten , eleven....

Guilty as charged. Something of the playground about it, admittedly, but there you go.

Ok, The kornikova picture was good.

One-all.

So you missed All the points in many previous threads',as to why many Irish people,inc.the Diaspora have adopted Celtic as an Irish cultural institution,a tradition the club itself are happy to continue.
Read 'Celtic Minded' by Prof.Bradley......he'll spell it out for you!

My Dad gave me a copy for Christmas. About halfway though it at the moment. Well worth a read.

Out of interest, why is the same word pronounced differently

ie

Celtic Cross

And

Celtic FC

So the Soldiers Song being sang at a foreign football match that is good because...............

What's your point? You bang on about the so-called religious affiliation of Liverpool FC then wonder why the SS is sung at a club that is both Irish founded and Irish (in both local ethnicity and throughout Ireland itself) supported. Are you still at junior school or just a bit slow?

Glasgow Celtic are a SCOTTISH football club. NOT Irish. THAT is my point. Why don't you's sing the Irish national anthem when celtic play Inverness, or Kilmarnock. Why only against Ranger's?????

Because Irish is prounced with c as as a hard "c". The greeks referred to us as Kelts.

The British Celtic languages have different influences. Their "c" are always soft. I think welsh and scottish use soft "c"'s so they would call call their team Glasgow Selltick.

If you were saying Cork Celtic you should really pronounce it as Cork Keltic

Silly me! You're sooooo right. Bet you also think a dog born in a stable is a horse too.

The only Celtic games I've been to have NOT included Rangers. The SS (albeit with references to the Pope and the line with land beyond the 'sea' instead of 'wave') has always been sung at all these games. Don't know if these days it's kept to the Old Firm, though.

If loads of scots had settled in boston the team would no doubt be pronounced Boston Selltic. As it was Irish people who settled there its known by its "Irish" pronounced way Boston Keltic

Aren't they also called the Boston 'Sell-tiks'?

To right I take great delight in seeing a thug who's already smacked Aiden in the back of the head with an elbow, come unstuck while trying to put the lad up in the air.

Shame Aiden did'nt take the head off his f**king shoulders. Anyway nothing to do with the old firm my feelings on this , I just don't like seeing a young Irish player being pushed around, and am glad he was able to stand up for himself.

You were the one who was going on about foreign football clubs being Portestant or whatever, the Irish national anthem gets played before GAA matches over here in this country or at the end of the night in Irish centers or pub's.
Whats your point about it.
