There was indeed dhorse. There was an Intermediate Club in Cork called the A.O.H. In 1957 when Cork Athletic folded they took their place in the League of Ireland. At that stage they changed their name from A.O.H. ( Ancient Order of Hibernians) to Cork Hibernians.

Haven't met that many of them Duffy but yes any of them that I have spoken to, I got on fine with them. I've been in Bairds in the Barrowlands ,a renowned Celtic pub before Celtic/Hibs games and have seen Hibs supporters sitting there drinking pints amongst hordes of Celts and not a bit of notice taken of them.

So its the irish connection then? Arent Hibernian the original irish side in scotland? I appreciate ur nostalgic family connection and that you may have a more tangible connection that most others, but to be honest what i have seen of celtic fans is that there is a huge percentage of them who dont know anything about football, and are more interested in a big booze-up. I mean, 'Paradise'? Why are celtic fans so much more committed that all other football fans? Why is their ground so much better? The reality is that they arent, yet they seem to think that they are, and that everyone should understand this! Football is a sport, the stuff that 99% of celtic (and rangers) fans spout about has no place being involved with a football club. What's more, I think it is quite obvious that the clubs themselves dont buy into this stuff, as I underlined earlier with the transfers of kenny miller. So, if the clubs dont believe in this so called ethos and are just interested in playing football with good players regardless of their background, where is it coming from?

Master, can I ask how many Celtic supporters you actually know. I am not talking about the lads around town who wear Celtic tops but fellas who go to games at hime and abroad. Surely every clubs supporters would contend that they are the most commited, why would Celtic's be any different? Why would they not be proud of their stadium? I think that Old Trafford is the only club ground in the UK with a bigger capacity. I would also like to know where your stats come from regards 99% of Celtic fans. That is pure unadulterated rubbish, and you let yourself down by making up such stats with no evidence to support your statement. Your last statement is rendered meaningless in my opinion by your convoluted facts and is not worth commenting on. Did you also know that Hibs had as equal a sectarian policy as Rangers in the beginning, a policy NEVER followed by Celtic.

In a feeble attempt to convince others that the their club has finally turned its back on sectarianism Rangers fans like to list the names of their Catholic players. To do so misses the point entirely.
Ask most Celtic fans to produce a similar list of non-Catholics who have played for the Bhoys and they would struggle because most simply don't know or care what faith their hero follows.

Willie Maley said that Celtic Park was a place where a man was judged on football alone. Long may it continue.

523947 No not really real louth fan, especially since you never actually proved my point to be inaccurate, but insteaad just tried to belittle it, exactly what you usually do to be fair. If you actually read what i said you might realise that I am spot on. I'l expand on it further as you seem to lack the ability to conprehend it. The connect between referees and the big bad masonic lodge is exaggerated and built up into a conspiricy theory by those who want something to cry about when a decision doesnt go their way.

Did you not read CCs last post on that...Good God lad...

I read it! I dont see whats embarressing. He merely points out that fantasy induced supporters like CorkCelt and Ulsterman like to indulge in myths to make the dreary grey sodden SPL Tolerable. I agree. I see CC always says before he was born into being a Celtic supporter. I hope that was Cork Celtic he was on about, maybe they then could of survived as a Club.


Is this the most shamless act of double posting we have seen and blatant disrespect for the forum? Master Paddy?

I must point out that I never criticised larsson in my opening post, i merely congratulated Kris on a fine achievement surpassing larssons record alot of the usual petty posts from celtic fans, typical barstool ---.

Your spot on Monkey in that you didn't say Larsson was a bad player, but where you made the mistake is when you state that Boyd is a great player. His achievement is all the more remarkable due to the fact that he is anything but a great player. He is a decent finisher, of that there is no doubt, but he is a poor target man, he can't hold the play up and has struggled when facing a higher level of player. I would suggest that is the reason that he refused to go to Birmingham as he would be found out in the premiership

______________

Come off it monkey, it was implied in your post. Boyd breezes past Larsson, Kris Boyd "a truly great player". Boyd didn't "breeze" past Larsson's record - as corkcelt pointed out it took Boyd 263 games to do what Larsson did in just 186. Not even Rangers own fans regard Boyd as a "truly great player", and anyway, wouldn't a truly great player be capable of scoring in Europe or in a Celtic-Rangers match?

Anyone who knows your history on here knew you were on the wind-up anyway (myself, corkcelt etc.), not sure what you're on about when you say "the usual petty posts from celtic fans, typical barstool ---", I felt most of the responses were pretty balanced and it was only when other non-Celtic fans became involved with the usual rubbish did the debate degenerate.

Sorry dude but you were gloating. But as I pointed out, he's a million miles of Larson and for the reasons I stated.

But if he beat Larson's Scottish record then he beat it so well done. However, it should also be noted that I have scored much more in Louth leagues than either Eamon Mc Eneaney or Pete Mc Grath!!

Must hacve modelled himself on Cantona/Henry/C.Ronaldo.

This statement does not bear scrutiny and is typical of the ill-informed, tabloid contributions you make. I'm not going to waste my time proving you wrong as your previous on here means you will ignore the facts presented to you and force the same rubbish down people throats within two weeks.


Tell you what Breffni, I apologise. I already KNOW Boyd has performed better on the international stage than the other three, I was only winding up.

By the way, that is not saying much. What did the other three ever do playing in internationals, apart from set up a winning goal against ROI who are hardly world beaters?

What you don't realise is that you are really doing us Celtic Fans a favour. I could talk forever about Celtic but I can't keep starting my own threads. However with you around I don't have to, every now and then you are bound to start one, as soon as you find something to say that you think will wind us up. As the thread proceeds it usually gets interesting and we can all have a pleasant debate and to a large extent ignore your contributions. TheMaster. The old ground at Parkhead was built near a cemetary and the new one was built on the other side. Some old wag passed the remark that we had passed over to the other side, hence the new ground became affectionately known as Paradise. p.s. It was voted in a poll by Football supporters throughout Great Britain as the most atmospheric. All the top European Teams that have played there are on record as saying the same thing.

Like I said, I am not wasting my time. Do it yourself, and take a cursory glance at their international records or even watch a few football matches and all will become immediately apparent.

I never seen Larsson play, but from tv highlights there was nigth and day between him and Boyd. I seen Boyd three times against the Jags and he broke our hearts by poaching an equalizer apart from that he was largely anonymous in all the games. I also believe he is in his comfort zone and follows in the tradition of Ally McCoist, who was nicknamed the three pin plug due to his inabaility to work in Europe. McCosit faile to make it with Sunderland and I think Bpyd would be the same with Birmingham.

Who, Boyd? I don't think Cantona or C.Ronaldo have scored in international football at all, and Henry in a World Cup final scoring?

I know the real Ronaldo scored in World cup finals for fun.
