corkcelt i have several times admitted that rangers have a problem with sectarianism and have condemned it. Its a shame celtic fans refuse to do the same and perhaps the problem could be addressed. bad.monkey (USA) - Posts: 4653 - 09/11/2009 10:14:38 479149 Link 0 |

Not at all bad.monkey I well know that we have a number of thugs on our side as well and indeed I have had a few run ins with a few of them over the years. It is an absolute impossibility to have 60,000 supporters without having a few hundred morons thrown in. I do genuinely believe though that the problem is much more evident on the blue side. The reason you and I cross swords is that I firmly believe that you are not a Rangers fan and are only adopting this position to wind people up. I have no problem whatever with decent Rangers fans.I am quite friendly with a few and there is one particular bar Manager in Glasgow that I regularly drop in to for a chat and a slagging session whenever I go over. He is as sound a guy as you could meet and he is Rangers through and through. Despite what you may think of me through my posts, I am a very responsible guy. I am a member of the AICSC and have been responsible for organising trips and bringing dozens of kids and teenagers over for matches. Believe me if you and 3 other adults have to keep 20 teenagers in line on a weekend in Glasgow you would need to be on your toes. Anyhow at the moment I am so depressed about the alarming drop in standard of Football and the total rubbish we are watching at present, I'm happy to give all this tit for tat stuff a rest for a few weeks. No doubt we will revisit the issue some time in the future. corkcelt (Cork) - Posts: 4388 - 09/11/2009 10:52:04 479193 Link 0 |
I was heading home for the Stranraer to Belfast boat yesterday and tuned into the celtic V Falkirk game on the radio. It was unfortunate that those outside the ground chose to use the Aidan McAnespie song, about the young Tyrone footballer murdered by the security forces, to voice their disapproval at a minutes silence in memory of young Scots who died for what they believed to be right. I don't see the connection being made by soccer fans who probably by and large have never seen a gaelic pitch. thistle_harps (UK) - Posts: 879 - 09/11/2009 13:32:29 479341 Link 0 |

the behaviour of the Celtic support at Falkirk today was impeccable. The Celtic fans inside the ground at kick off respected the minute's silence for Remembrance Sunday while those who don't agree with War celebrations and Britain's record in Ireland remained outside while the silence was observed. If this is not maturity I don't know what is? bad.monkey (USA) - Posts: 4653 - 09/11/2009 20:22:51 479721 Link 0 |

Another poorly researched offering from our good friend. There were roughly 600 Celtic fans at the game approx. 300 entered and participated in the Remembrance Day ceremony and remained totally silent during same. Of the 300 who excercised the right not to participate 260 or so did maintain a silence outside the stadium about 40 others foolishly in my opinion decided to sing a verse of the Aidan McAnaspie song. This of course provides ammunition for our detractors which is why I was annoyed at what they did. In the grand scheme of things singing a song outside the grounds whilst not a welcome development is hardly a hanging offence. Yes bad.monkey difficult as it is for you to understand there is a large element of the Celtic following from the 6 Counties who have no reason to feel kindly about the British Army and if they do not wish to participate in a Remembrance Day Celebration they are perfectly entitled to opt out. corkcelt (Cork) - Posts: 4388 - 09/11/2009 20:52:32 479756 Link 0 |
Jaysus dhorse no morons amongst a Rugby Crowd, none in the U.S. or Australia ya must be joking. I've attended quite a few Rugby Internationals. In the pubs before the game have you ever bumped into say a Welsh Club over for the match. I've heard them sing infantile filthy songs, Dinah and **** a Wallaby to name just 2. I've seen about 20 of them dropping their pants in unison in a pub in front of women and children etc. I'm not particularly picking on the Welsh but a lot of the behaviour of a certain type of Rugby Supporter can be loutish in the extreme. corkcelt (Cork) - Posts: 4388 - 09/11/2009 21:05:21 479768 Link 0 |

Apologies thistle harp i couldnt hear the exact words of the song. However singing, taunting and jeering a minutes silence for thousands of people (including many Irish people) in front of their relatives is disgusting This is nothing new to Celtic fans though. I remember them jeering and laughing during the minutes silence for the victims of the Ibrox disaster in front of the victims families. Best fans in the world...? yeah right bad.monkey (USA) - Posts: 4653 - 09/11/2009 22:36:11 479836 Link 0 |
I think they have gone overboard with this poppy, british army celebrations in recent years. A celebration of peace would be more appropriate. Celebrating death is nothing to be proud of. Real Kerry Fan (None) - Posts: 2957 - 09/11/2009 22:36:25 479837 Link 0 |
