    rangers scum!!!


    The Fields of Athenry

    By lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
    Michael they are taking you away
    For you stole Trevaillians corn
    So your young might see the morn
    It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry

    Chorus:
    Lo lie the Fields of Athenry
    Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    Our love was on the wing
    We had dreams and songs to sing
    It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry

    By lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling
    Nothing matters Mary when you're free
    Against the famine and the crown
    I rebelled, they cut me down
    Now you must raise our child with dignity.

    Chorus

    By lonely harbour wall, she watched the last hour falling
    As the prison-ship sailed out against the sky
    But she'll live and hope and pray
    For her love in Botany Bay
    It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry

    Chorus

    Whitewashman, I think i speak on behalf of the majority of the board by stating the obvious fact that you are a wanker. Your problem with Celtic just speaks volumes. Why do you support Rangers??? Celtic have Irish connections no matter what sad little prick like you says so get your facts right. How many crisp packets do you have to collect to become a moderator on here?? Not many, im guessing.

    The Celtic Song

    Hail Hail, The Celts are here,
    What the hell do we care,
    What the hell do we care,
    Hail Hail, The Celts are here,
    What the hell do we care now ...

    For its a Grand Old Team to play for,
    For its a Grand Old team to see,
    And if you know the history,
    Its enough to make your heart go,
    Nine-in-a-row.

    We don't care what the animals say,
    What the hell do we care,
    For its all we know,
    Is that there going to be a show,
    And the Glasgow Celtic will be there

    There's fup all 'debate' on this forum as it is, most of the threads are overrun by mudslinging or catfights about who was the better 3rd choice sub back on the backwater college B team. The moderation is extremely light in comparison to a lot of the other boards, and it needs to be a lot heavier imo.

    on topic - well done rangers! 6-1, very nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,213 ✭✭✭✭therecklessone


    For all those who have responded to WWM...you're doing youirselves no favours by rising to his bait you know. Just ignore it...

    As for the actual games...Killie "appeared" to put more effort in than Dunfermline, but that doesn't take away from Rangers doing what was needed. Well done the Hun. Celtic badly need to replace the entire midfield. If they don't I imagine Alex McLeish will be a very happy man for a number of years.

    And O'Neill won't stay any longer than one more year, you mark my words.

    Finally, Scottish football is appalling.

    and i know members of the IRA who use to have season tickets to park head. im sure they were having a quiet cup of tea instead of sing songs on the terraces.
    whats your point?



    you know, i really love this. so many celtic fans, and one person doesnt agree, and theres all this agro.
    lots of swearwords and calling of hun etc.

    lets face it. there really isnt much between celtic and ireland, apart from half the country supporting them for some reason.
    i mean, what are the reasons for supporting them?
    they arent irish.
    they arent in ireland.
    they dont have any irish players.
    even the manager is from northern ireland, and thats part of the UK.

    nope, its just sour grapes.
    had it been the other way round there would have been lots of posts abouthow great the celts are.
    and blackflag, i dont see any rangers songs on the boards. so the only ones here to 'sing bigoted songs and stir racial ****' would be celtic supporters.
    am i right?

    one last thing.
    i see chris sutton was moaning about dunfirmline laying down and for rangers.
    seriously. is he that stupid that he thinks they would do that?
    who did celtic beat last week by about the same scoreline? did they roll over?

    and its not my fault you people get so up your own bottoms that you get yourselves banned.

    but what would you expect from a bunch of loser celtic supporters?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 48 BlackFlag


    So you go by the principle that the North of Ireland is British?

    I am new to these boards but for the life of me there is something seriously wrong if you are an admin that is allowed to spout such flame type threads and very provocative replies.

    Btw I am not a Celtic fan I was born in London and support Arsenal.:rolleyes:

    Jake303 & Pigman are banned from the Soccer forum.

    Pigman II is a permanent ban as he was banned from Boards totally before.

    Jake303 is banned for a month. PLease don't assume you can abuse people and get the bare minimum of a response.

    As for WWM I see where he is coming from. As for calling elements of Rangers supporters bigoted and sectarian, I agree there are however just as many in the Celtic camp as well (just remember back to Ireland matches where Rangers players & even ex. Rangers players were booed!).

    Now if anyone else has a problem with my modding complain on the Admin section or take it up with me via PM.

    Gwan Gandalf you auld dog! :p You must be top of the league now on bannings! :D

    As hard as it is for me to give credit to Rangers, for WWM sake well done, was an exciting day of football. The way it swayed from huns winning league, no celts, no huns, no draw was exciting if nothing else.
    Celts midfield showed their age yesterday.

    As for NI been part of Britain, try and get insurance up here and see the difference between here and the mainland! Also most deals on cars especially, u can see in small print, excludes NI.
    And it is a bank holiday to day in the UK, but not in NI? Figure that.

    moi?

    sir!

    im just a chap who is happy that his team has done well!
    tis not my fault that all these people have gotten so hot under the collar because they cant believe that another team has beaten theirs fair and square.
    lets face it, rangers deserved to win the league. they got better results.

    with regards NI and the UK, scotland also has different holidays as well, so its not that uncommon. as for the deals thing, well i guess that business.

    still, im sure the rangers caretakers will be moving the cups around the trophy cabinet to make sure they can fit in another one after the weekend!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,458 ✭✭✭✭gandalf


    TBH yop WWM is doing nothing except post about one of the teams he supports doing well (he also supports spurs but I won't remind him of that too often!).

    The people who have been abusive are the mainly celtic supporting boards members (with the exception of one person who has been on parole so to speak because of past actions) and they have been dealt with bar two who got a warning.

    Yes well done Rangers. And it goes to show what a $hite league it is when Celtic can hammer someone 4-0 and still lose the league. It was a foregone conclusion before the games even started that both Rangers and Celtic would win, and lo, it duly came to pass.

    And well done WWM for starting a thread that got morons like Jake303 and CelticFC, the master of cut and paste, banned :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,007 ✭✭✭stevoslice


    Gandalf, you are either WWMans bum-buddy, or entirely ignorant, since when does WWMan follow Scottish football, seeing as last week he declared that he couldn't give a sh*t about it, but now lo and behold he decides to show us his support for the most bigotted club in europe, And before you say that celtic are as bad, check the facts, when celtic win old-firm matches they go to the gallowgate, an area of glasgow populated entirely catholics and people with irish ancestry which also contains a lot of celtic pubs and clubs. When rangers when an old firm match their fans also go to the gallowgate and proceed to hurl bricks, shout insults and attack any body whos is not wearing the blue and red of rangers. They also had a policy up until the mid 1980s, of not signing catholic players until the famous Mo Johnson incident. Celtic since its founding in 1888 has always been a club who accepted any body of any religion, two famous protestant celts that come to mind are Jock Stein and Kenny Dalglish.

    Back on track now...
    WWMan posts a thread with comments that he knew would insight a boards backlash from some (less than clever) celtic supporters, you then proceed to ban these boys for insulting a pompous git and leave him off to continue trolling until he decides that he doesn't support rangers again, or until all the celtic supporters on this board have been banned.
    Most celtic fans are gutted at the moment, when you consider that if thomson converted his penalty, and if larsson had been a tad more lucky and converted his chance, then the SPL Trophy would still be on the right side of the clyde. This coming after a excruciatingly dissapointing extra-time loss to FC Porto during the week, and a dissapointing loss to rangers in the Scottish League cup back in march, the last thing any celtic fan wants to hear is some eejit going on about 'a team he supports'. Do us all a favour Gandalf and lock this thread and forget about it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,458 ✭✭✭✭gandalf


    OK thebhoy heres some truths for you.

    No I am not WWM's bum chum :rolleyes:

    I've known WWM for years and I know he has also supported Rangers for years. Its unusual to find Rangers supporters who are Irish but there are some out there (I've known 2 and WWM is one of them).

    I am basing my comments on bigotted Celtics fans from reactions on this board and at Irish games where Rangers and Ex-Rangers players are on the pitch. I'm not going to get into the political situation in Scotland because it is of no interest to me.

    As for Celtic fans being gutted. I'm a Arsenal fan I was gutted when they didn't win the league the last thing I did was insult all those who were goading us on the board (I did close some regurgitated threads). So please don't fire that line up.

    Do me a favour thebhoy don't assume because a boards member doesn't post his/her love for a footy team that they have not supported them all along. I will not be locking this thread just yet.

    Plus I won't be banning you for your comments (unless you fire more up!).

    It gets my vote for thread of the week anyway, and well done WWM for the entertainment. Got a few quick snapping fishes there:D.

    Anyway back on topic Rangers won it fair and square. They didi the job yesterday and TBH Celtic left too much work to be done. (BTW I don't follow SPL at all but I do like to see Celtic doing well in European competitions.)


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    I guess Rangers fans are smarter then Celtic fans after all. All we (and yes I'm one too) have done is show ignorance and get banned. Yes WWMan was probably "putting it in our faces" a bit with the celebratory post but to be fair he cheered for his own team, he didnt boo the other guys.

    I'm watching this thread now, keep it civil or I'll put my cyber-boot in someones e-ass :)

    As irrelevant as it may be here, ... just to make a point about Northern Ireland,...

    Britain is the island consisting of England, Scotland and Wales - which Northern Ireland isn't part of. Northern Ireland is part of the "United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland". Whether it is "British" or not doesn't depend on your point of view or your political beliefs- it depends on the FACTS ... and those state that the six counties of Ulster that are designated as Northern Ireland belong to the UK. What this has to do with Scottish Premier League football is beyond me...

    I'm not a Celtic fan or a Rangers fan but I think Rangers did a fantastic job in winning the SPL and would congratulate them on their wonderful achievement. Anyone who thinks that makes me a 'traitor' in terms of being Irish needs to grow the fvck up.

    Incidentally, the ignorant, brutish, loud and rude behaviour, language and attitude of the Celtic "fans" we had in our bar yesterday was almost enough to put me off the club completely (and almost enough to kick them out at the same time). At a time when there were families in the bar/lounge having their Sunday lunch, you'd think they'd have gone to the function hall as I suggested to watch the match (on our TEN FOOT SCREEN) and left the seekers of peace and quiet to themselves instead of roaring vulgarities at a silenced television while in earshot of toddlers. They're not the first I've seen to behave like that. FINE! Enjoy your game, shout at the TV, but keep it civil FFS, especially around kids. On reflection, I should have turned off the TV...

    Glasgow Celtic are a Scottish FOOTBALL club. Celtic Vs. Rangers is NOT Ireland Vs. Britain, it's two SCOTTISH clubs playing football.

    Well done Rangers!

    It's the same idiots who show up at Ireland's international home football matches and chant "Sinn Fein" and "IRA" during the chorus to "Fields of Athenry", and think they're smart loudly 'boo'ing whenever a Rangers or ex-Rangers player gets the ball. These pea-brained idiots don't even deserve to be Irish, nevermind be at an Irish football match.

    Some utter twats will never simply realise that sport transcends race, creed and politics.
