    i support Hearts in the SPL since i was a child

    And I thought that I was the only one!

    The only reason that more Irish people support Celtic than actual real-life Irish teams is because Celtic are more successful than any Irish teams

    I not going to even pretend I know anyhting about football OP, but imo the vas vast vast majority of Celtic supports are skangers. Not once have I met anyone who supports that wasn't a scobe with a filthy ronnie.

    In fact it's only useful so you can dress your girlfriend up in it so she looks like a hawt skanger of filthy bedroom antics.

    I see plenty of Skangers wearing Celtic shirts, this does not make them Celtic supporters just kids trying to find an identity for themselves.
    I am a lifelong Celtic fan and am certainly no Skanger.

    Well done though for your well thought out contribution.

    This is After Hours. If you want a super serial resonse take it to the Soccer forum. you have a low post count so i'll assume your new and don't know your way around yet. Here, in AH I would gather your thread will have about 2 pages before it decends into chaos and way to many tired 'YOREMA' jokes.

    Celtic are just the Ying to the Rangers Yang. Nothing more.

    Anyway, I'm not Irish so why should I suport them:rolleyes:

    I concur

    I seen a skanger wear a suit does that mean all people in suits are skangers?

    If you knew your Soccer and "Irish" identity and all that you would consider Hibs well before Celtic.....................

    Well said! A lot of the people who wear Celtic jerseys (These are not to be confused with the bona fide Celtic fans who know a bit about the game) wouldn't be able to name a couple of squad members. I'm not a Celtic fan but have travelled to see them play. More than can be said for your average 'Celtic Jersey wearer'. (Again not to be confused with Celtic fan).
    As for irish connections, The likes of Man. Utd., Arsenal etc. have had many Irish players in their squads down the years.

    The Taoiseach of this fine nation of Ireland himself Mr Bertie Ahern is a Man United fan and if the Chief of Chiefs supports them thats the best possible Irish connection I have heard in this thread.


    So ergo Man united are the official Team of ireland

    I'm Irish, no reason for me to support them either.

    Yay Fozzy - i though i was the only one too!
    I agree with the comment on Celtic. If i had a choice over league of Ireland or the premiership i know what i'd choose!

    Isn't Sunderland the team to be following now with the Irish connections and everything?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,467 ✭✭✭smemon


    why isn't this in the soccer forum?

    What about those of us who couldn't give two fucks about football? Eh?

    And what about the Eircom League? Or the GAA?
