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. corkcelt (Cork) - Posts: 4388 - 04/01/2010 20:28:09 524369 Link 0 |

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. corkcelt (Cork) - Posts: 4388 - 04/01/2010 20:38:24 524375 Link 0 |

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?

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 ---. bad.monkey (USA) - Posts: 4649 - 04/01/2010 22:05:05 524480 Link 0 |
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 omaghredhand (Tyrone) - Posts: 3656 - 04/01/2010 22:29:59 524499 Link 0 |

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. corkcelt (Cork) - Posts: 4388 - 05/01/2010 00:07:45 524586 Link 0 |

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. thistle_harps (UK) - Posts: 879 - 05/01/2010 12:41:56 524738 Link 0 |
