Real rangers fan or bad monkey, sorry not sure which one you prefer, I answered your points and queries, maybe you could try and answer mine. This obsession with Celtic and Irish fans seems to be endless, what is your point, where are you trying to go with it?
Just to show no love lost I've bought you an Offaly top for your next Ibrox game :)

Better hope it is not against Celtic. Raised on a diet of Celtic and the Wolfe Tones they wouldn't know what a GAA jersey was and likely to attack you.

Just a thought, while id love to see Celtic and rangers battle it out in the EPL, and obviously start attracting big players and being able to compete with the big boys with the vast increase in revenue, neither team would be allowed to play in Europe for the same reason that Cardiff, Swansea and Wrexham cannot anymore.

Would they want that?

in the last couple of years there have been a number of embarrassing incidents such as Directors of Club filmed singing "The Billy Boys"

similar to when the celtic management and players were caught on camera singing sectarian songs at a celtic supporters function in ireland, no doubt you were there singing along

i condemn any racial/sectarian abuse

the point i was making is that racial/sectarian abuse unfortunately happens at almost every large sporting event including gaa and celtic matches. But the mass delusion of celtic fans doesnt allow this reality even when given several examples. But hey better to live with your head in the sand then actually face the problem and deal with it like rangers.

Well done to rangers for helping to promote the gaa in glasgow as part of the stamp out sectarianism campaign

21/10/2009 15:28:16 sean og County: Armagh Posts: 676 461722 bad monkey, or whoever you call yourself on the forum. You are starting to get desperate. 1. Dida, the Milan goalie was actually banned for his antics when the Celtic fan brushed his face. He went down quicker than Rangers champions league hopes. 2. 1 Celtic fan was charged over the 9/11 incident, he was rightly rounded on by other Celtic fans. Heard the fella wasnt playing with a full deck of cards, excuse the french. 3. sectarian songs??? Maybe you could elaborate on that one please. 4. Arshavin struck? Maybe im the only one not to hear about that, but its a first for me. Keep trying though you might just convince yourself its true someday. Tell me this BM, just out of curiosity, would you wear whichever county/club jersey you support to Ibrox? He'd no answer for ye but then again it fits with his club - well able to throw insults but little else. One apparent report of a KK fans disgraceful behaviour doesn't exactly stand in the same ground as thousands making provacative salutes in Jerusalem!!! I suppose when you are in the shadow of a club that has reached the last 16 of the European elite more times, has performed admirably both on and off the field in European finals and competitions and received awards from UEFA for such exemplary behaviour as opposed to being the under examination by EU bodies for racist behaviour - all that adds up and hurts. But I don't believe that he/she is a fan of that club. It's just one of many cries for attention. I am happy to feed it as the HSE is under enough strain as it is. It's in the national interest!!

patrique I'm not sure where you are coming from. Are you saying Celtic fans would attack some person wearing a GAA jersey? In the first instance I'm back and forward to Glasgow for years and I've never seen Celtic fans attack anybody regardless of what they were wearing. I've drank in Bairds with Hibs fans wearing their team jerseys and no one bothered them. In the second instance it is quite fashionable for Celtic Fans from Ireland to wear their County jerseys in Glasgow.I reckon over the years I must have seen almost every County jersey at some time or another. This no doubt will elicit some other caustic response from your good self but as a self confessed Man. City fan, who is obviously at ease with being both a GAA supporter and simultaneously following a soccer team why you seem compelled to get involved in every discussion involving Celtic baffles me.

bad,monkey This nonsense re Rangers helping the GAA is a fallacy. Some guy here started a thread along those lines after seeing some heading on a newspaper. However when investigated there was no substance to the story. I would have no problem with you at all if you were a genuine Rangers supporter, I have a very good friend and sometimes golfing buddy from Glasgow who is a Rangers supporter and we are constantly ribbing each other depending on the last result. But its all in good fun and I really like the guy. Your agenda however is to just try and wind up people on this site. Most of your comments are ill informed and I have never yet read a post from you that showed any level of depth or understanding of either the game of Soccer or indeed of the situation in Glasgow. I would suggest that you join up the Follow Follow site and you can blog away with Real Rangers Supporters. At least you will learn something about the Club and how their supporters think and react. If after that you still want to be known as a Rangers supporter then thats your problem but in the meantime just go away and don't be annoying people.

And to point out again your inaccuracies that while - yes there is racial abuse in all areas of life and sport and Rangers aren't the only ones guilty of racism - they are one of a few clubs punished and actively investigated by UEFA and EU political bodies for their actions! Not to mention destroying the city centre of Manchester last year. Hardly the same as ONE unsubstantiated report of a Kilkenny fan!! There are bodies in Ireland that deal with complaints of racial abuse so I suggest that it is reported to such bodies. Your allegiances are so obviously anti-Irish and anti-GAA it must pain you to get up each morning and post here!

One apparent report of a KK fans disgraceful behaviour doesn't exactly stand in the same ground as thousands making provacative salutes in Jerusalem!!! priceless considering the amount of palestinian flags seen in celtic park and the 'PLO' chants, not to mention the IRA songs they sing in london and manchester...yet more hypocracy from celtic fans i didnt answer the 4 'points' made in response because they were so poor but if you insist - 1. Re Dida - the response seems to be its ok for a supporter to run on the pitch and strike an opposition player as long as he doesnt hit him that hard!!!!!! Celtic fans have a long history of attacking opposition players on the pitch - rapid vienna, gordan strachan...etc 2. A celtic fan was charged for making airplane gestures to a US player after the 9/11, you claim he wasnt the full deck. Is this following a medical examination or just more excuse making by celtic fans. Also he was by far not the only one doing it. Remember thousands of celtic fans jeering and singing during the minutes silence for the victims of the ibrox disaster. 3. Sectarian singing- are you really suggesting celtic fans dont sing sectarian songs? if so why did the celtic board have to ban the singing of sectarian songs in celtic park, because it wasnt happening??? Also as i mention earlier but it was conviently ignored, celtic management and players were filmed singing sectarian songs at a celtic supporters funstion in ireland. 4. Yes arshavin was struck by a missile thrown by a celtic fan. Not the first and wont be the last.

Hardly the same as ONE unsubstantiated report of a Kilkenny fan!! sure just keep your head in the sand, of course sean og, jason sherlock, luke sweetman..etc have never been racially abused. And there was no a tipp supporter with a megaphone at the tipp-cork in the killanin end chanting abuse at donal og cusack. Davy fitz never had disgusted things said about his wife. No way, just keep your head in the sand

bad.monkey I very much doubt if you were ever in Ibrox. The drunk who ran on and patted Dida on the cheek was ostracised by the Celtic Support. EUEFA realised it wasn't an assault and Dida was punished for his theatrics the Club were fined because the guy got on the pitch in the first place. I'm in the dark about the "Arshavin incident" this is the first place I read about any alleged incident involving him. The other incidents date back over 25 years to an entirely different era when Soccer hooliganism was rife all over the world and has no relevance to the modern day Celtic Support. As to singing of sectarian songs, the High Court in Glasgow ruled that the Irish Rebel Songs were political but not sectarian. There is a huge difference there, however the Rangers Songs such as "The Billy Boys" and " The Famine Song" were ruled as sectarian. Celtic did request Celtic Fans not to sing political songs in Parkhead to avoid any controversy and surprise surprise but 60,000 fans did precisely what they were asked. I'm not sure what incident you are referring to relating to Celtic people being filmed singing Republican songs. The only incident I remember was a supporters do in Donegal It was attended by John Hartson the band were playing the Fields of Athenry but during the chorus a couple of guys near John chanted I.R.A. and Sinn Fein. Twas filmed on a mobile by another supporter and it could be clearly seen that John himself was not singing. The guy who filmed it was from the 6 Counties and was stopped on the way home by the RUC who examined the phone and found the footage. It was they who leaked it into the public domain in an effort to discredit the wider Celtic Support. Seems yourself and the RUC have something in common too bad.monkey.

at the same ac milan where a celtic fan ran on the pitch and struck the ac milan keeper, the ac milan midfielder gattuso suffered constant sectarian abuse about his wife because she is a protestant from glasgow

Corkcelt if you want a recent example, just look at all celtic fans waving pizza boxes at the rangers fans a the recent old firm game, taunting them about the murder of the british soldiers in antrim a couple of months back

the list is endless, but of course celtic fans would have you believe they are whiter than white. get your heads back in the sand boys

An inacurrate and dangerous conclusion.

Even Rangers players have experienced it from their own fans link

Not to mention being kept an eye on by EU bodies - not so with Celtic. A very dangerous thing to say that one is as bad as the other - simply inacurate!

The AC Milan keeper was given a light tap. The fan should not have been there and was rightfully punished but it was an act of stupidity and nothing else. And as for gattuso's wife I know nothing about that except to say that plenty of players have received abuse about their wives/girlfriends which had nothing to do with sectarianism or racism. Just ask Beckham and Lee Chapman!! Again - grow up son and end the lies!!

rangers are not working on projects with the gaa. the rangers study centre has worked in with the past and no doubt will in the future with a glasgow club on cross community school work. The link with rangers was picked up from a mistaking comment by a British GAA official at a meeting in Mayo. The gaa club has also done work with Glasgow's other lesser club, Celtic, and the city's premier club Partick Thistle. Historically, Rangers have always been more supportive of this type of project. It is for others to judge if this is for pr purposes. Having said that I can honestly say that sectarianism , although an issue with both clubs, is far more seriouse with the boys in blue. The next big scandal around the corner is the planned minutes silence at all football matches in scotland for the war dead (Britain's wars). Celtic have asked their opponents Falkirk to have a minutes applause instead. No doubt the horse chap will have a few things to say about it.
