TheReid Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 How did you know they were "no generation"? Actually you didn't, in fact you knew feck all about them. Did I say that it was the "no generation" that sang it? I was saying that in relation to the previous post. As pointed out earlier (not sure if it was by you) this isn't what the normal Irish fan represents and I agree. With that being said it then leaves the plastic paddys that base their national affiliation down to their club allegiance which is embarrassing to sing these songs, wouldn't you agree? You really can't defend or condone these people can you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peever1745 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Bollocks. Oh do you thinks so. Lets wait and see.I recon 10 to 15,000 of them in the ground.Why on earth did the SFA decide to play this game at Celtic Park? Oh aye that will be because they were expecting a massive support from Glasgows Irish quarter so its all about money.They should have switched the Georgia and Ireland games round playing Ireland at Ibrox.

If someone with a Scottish accent supports Ireland it's because they have a connection with Ireland. And if they have a connection with Ireland then they are entitled to support them if they want.

I can see a flaw here, I think Ibrox is in Glasgow too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow's Irish quarter can make it to Ibrox just as easily. All that would do would stop 10,000 fans attending the Ireland game who want to, and have made the crowd at the Georgia look even lower...

weekevie04 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 It's football. Why do people care so much if Scots who support Ireland, or are even there in the home end. Scotland fans reguarly sit in amongst the home end on many away trips. What about the expat Scots who may live abroad, some even born/raised or their family have that sit in the home end and support their heritage (Scotland) over their current home/residence?

peever1745 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Eck and co I don't think I really have to spell it out for you do I? We have clowns where I live who will be wearing their ROI tops on the day in the pub supporting a country they have never been to never mind family ties.They will support ROI because of some ties they have with a Glasgow football club.How many saltires do you see at Celtic Park? Christ the Montrose CSC flag is a bloody big tricolour FFS.Not saying the majority of Celtic fans are like this but there are a lot of them. My name has an Irish connection but our family have been here for 800 years so how far do they have yo go back to say they have Irish roots? If you think there will be no Scots Celtic fans supporting ROI at this game then you are in cloud cookooland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peever1745 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Does nobody remember the NI game at Hampden a few years back when most of the NI fans spoke with a weegie accent? Just saying like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife speaks with a weegie accent. She was born in the Waterside, came over here when she was 12. My son could play for NI if he was a footballer.

You have nae a clue what my brand of nationalism is and even if you did what the fukk does it have to do with this thread? All I am saying is there is Scots who will buy tickets for this game and support ROI.Now if you want to believe these people dont exist then you are living in a world of your own.

thplinth Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 You switched from plastic paddies to the orange loons in the NI support like they are all interchangeable weegies. It is you carrying the prejudices. Where the fukk are you from to be looking down your nose at weegies BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry to bring reality into this but I know quite a few Celtic supporters - Scots with weegie accents but strong Irish roots - who are completely torn in two by this match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReid Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Maybe you need to take off the orange tinted ones? You can't be anymore wrong, i hate bigotry from both sides. I have no club affiliation the problem would be just the same if not larger if we played NI. I am no Orangeman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I really cannot emphasize this any more... The relationship that enslaves us is not the one we have with England, it is the one we have with Ireland. Sort that out and we unlock the door.
