    A great song preformed and written by Irish legend Bik McFarlane.

    Prison escapee.

    Kidnapper of shopkeeper. (Don Tidey)

    Murderer (or leader of a group of men who murdered) an unarmed Garda cadet and an Irish soldier.

    Well, no, but when the owner of a particular pub is arrested on charges of possesion of ammunition in the back of that pub, you really do have to wonder about the sort of people that drink there. I'm sure you would agree that the Black and Tans weren't exactly a bunch of good guys/ Did you know all of them?

    So if I went to a pub that it turns out was owned by a serial killer, its a reflection on me? Amazing.

    I went to Dunnes stores when Ben was still with them, and was caught going through his coke and hookers phase. Does that make me a coke and hookers guy?

    It's a pub.

    Let's get back to your "logic". According to you

    Not really the same thing

    It's not? Please do explain. The owner of the business is caught during some criminal act, so why does it not reflect on the customers? Your logic dictates that it be so.

    There is a slight difference between the owner of a supermarket chain taking drugs, and the owner of a pub (which by the way is heavily linked with the republican movement) having bullets in the back of that pub. Plus, I don't believe you really responded to my Black and Tans analogy

    So when you came into the Pub, there was a sign that listed out the prices of the lunches, what the soup was, pints and "Bullets In The Back" written in red chalk on the top? Or were patrons asked to sign a consent form, agreeing to be on premises that were used to store ammunition?

    I believe I did. The raison d'etre of the organisation was to put down Irish resistance by use of force. Therefore you signed up to a certain agenda from the get go. Secondly, many of its members were involved in numerous incidents.

    The basis of your point here is that fianna fail is an anti-British party.

    its not the basis of my point, what im saying is people focus their hate on one specific thing while we didnt know who was truly fuking us. in a lot of other countries i find people look inwards for problems instead of having one big enemy next door who people can rally against. thats what im saying was the problem here, its a great distraction while we all get screwed by successive governments of crooks - not that FF are anti-britain

    explain how. ive answered pretty much everything thrown at me in a pretty concise manner. are you just getting frustrated that *shock horror* there might be truth to what ive said? that people grasp onto causes like the ra, hating britain etc cos they want to feel more important then they actually are?

    Such simplistic nonsense. That's like saying GAA is a British sport because London play in the championship. Celtic's Irish connections are obvious.

    Jesus, it's so not.

    They are a British team, located in Britain, playing in a British league.

    Where they play or what league they play in is irrelevant. They are a club with an Irish ethos. The tri-colour flies above Celtic Park and the fans sing Irish songs. As so many have already said in this thread 'their location does not define them'. It is not ironic for republicans to support Celtic.

    Maybe you don't either. You live in Ireland right? This makes you Irish then, no matter how you may identify yourself.

    Fair enough. What's your point now that we have established that Glasgow is indeed located in Britain..

    So Celtic aren't British? I was wrong?

    Ehh, I think you'll find where they play is very relevant. And maybe you want to notify Celtic FC.

    Celtic thus become the first British (and non-Latin) club to win Europe's most coveted trophy.

    I never said Celtic weren't British. My point was that republicans supporting Celtic is not ironic given their overwhelming Irish ethos.

    Republicanism isn't simply hating anything that has a touch of Britishness about it.

    LOL

    ive always wondered why you always seem to say that. I dont understand why you are on an irish website? its baffling? You have this passive form of aggresion for anything irish even though you live in ireland, yet you still post here. alot of threads end up being about you testifying your britishness.. really annoying and sad at this point

    Exactly my point. Yet a few posts above this one KeithAFC was going on about how republicans don't do irony because they support a team located in Britain. Yet he lives in Ireland and calls himself British.

    Not really. You have African and Chinese people living on the island. Doesn't make them Irish.
