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

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?

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

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?

Is this longer than Longford's back four yet?

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

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.

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.
