andyg83 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 I think for the scots and Irish fans on this board who can't be rsed with the sectarian stuff Helen is exhibit A. No need. For what is worth I know loads of Irish folk. Not one or anyone they know claims to support celtic. Majority of Irish people are likethe majority of scots. Love their sport and enjoy a good pi $$ up. Bring it on in the weeks. Look forward to drinking worth these guys. Don't letthe idiots cod your judgement and make this game something it is not.

andyg83 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Is seems that Helen is a classic mope. Dying to be discriminated on this board so that she can proclaim it loudly and try to take the moral high ground. Got news for you love.

thplinth Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) oh ffs it has its own wiki page... Jackeen is a mildly pejorative term for someone from Dublin, Ireland. The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as "A contemptuous designation for a self-assertive worthless fellow," citing the earliest documented use from the year 1840.[1] Derivation and meaning[edit] The term is derived from a nickname for John[citation needed] (i.e. Jack) from the Union Jack (As Dubliners were considered the most English of all the Irish) combined with the Irish diminutive suffix "-een" (meaning little) [1] (-Ãn in Irish) found in many Irish female names such as RoisÃn ("little Rose") and Maureen (MairÃn, "little Mary"). Today, Jackeen is often used to describe Dublin GAA players and supporters.[2][3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackeen Edited October 26, 2014 by thplinth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyg83 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Serious question. If you dropped an average irishman into parkhead on old firm day do you think they would say it represented their culture and country. I think not. As the previous posters said they would probably be angry at their flag being misused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larky Masher Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 The extreme Northern Irish????? Those who want to be free from discrimination and oppression? Those who want to be part of a United Ireland and life in peace?? Are those the people you are talking about???? ..... and those who don't think pedophiles and rapists should be brought to justice just because they were in the IRA?

If you dropped an average irishman into parkhead on old firm day do you think they would say it represented their culture and country. I think not. As the previous posters said they would probably be angry at their flag being misused. I'll answer that for you as I reckon I represent the average Irish man. The answer is simply no. I've been to Celtic Park albeit not for an Old Firm game (I am a Cork City fan not a Celtic fan by the way). We do not carry on like that at International or club matches in Ireland. The tricolour flies in much the same way you'd see the saltire fly at Scottish football matches and is not seen by the different communities in the south of Ireland as a divisive emblem. Sectarian songs are not sung at LOI matches or at Lansdowne Rd (I've not been to the Brandywell in Derry where it may or may not occur), in fact there is no sectarianism in the south of Ireland despite the fact that Protestants make up a significant % of the population. Northern Ireland might as well be on the other side of the planet given the ignorance of issues in the north by people in the south (pretty similar to the ignorance of Londoners to Scotland in general). i'd like to point out that I've been to an OF game at Ibrox. Having been invited by a Rangers supporting mate we jumped on a Rangers bus in Edinburgh and to say the journey to Ibrox was eventful would be an understatement. I watched the match from the club deck where various individuals including a very irate chap beside me hurled abuse at the Celtic fans for 120 minutes. Yip the match was a league cup semi-final which went into extra time. My point is for the 120 minutes I did not recognise anything that represented Britain never mind Scotland (I spent 7 years in Scotland and 3 so far in England). Both Celtic and Rangers are strange enigmas. They both claim to represent something or somewhere yet appear to be at odds with those places. The only places that truly represent Scotland and Ireland in a footballing context are Hampden Park and Lansdowne Rd. You will not hear or see any bullshit in these stadia. Onto your second point, there is no doubt about it that the Irish tricolour has been misused. It was created by Irish nationalists in the 18th century (many of the leaders were Protestants believe it or not). The idea was that the flag represented the people who lived on the island at the time i.e. green represented the Catholics, orange represented the Protestants and white represented peace between the two). Unfortunately historical events took over in the 20th Century and the flag is now seen primarily (at Celtic matches and in Northern Ireland) as a nationalist (catholic) emblem used to goad the very folk it partially represents. A sad state of affairs. Any how enough of this bollix...I reckon there will be a minimum of 10,000 Irish in the stadium plus god only know's how many Scots supporting Ireland.

Exactly what people need to hear. Sick of you guys being misrepresented by idiots over here. The match will be cracking in a few weeks. Ireland fans are up there with Holland and Belgium IMO. I am sure when you start arriving our city everyone will realise that. If only the Guinness was as good over here :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColemanY2K Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Sorry the tri-colour was created in the 1800's not the 18th century. Indeed I'm looking forward to the trip to Glasgow although I won't be touching the Guinness. Plenty of Scottish brews will be the order of the day (in fact I had one or two too many pints of Schiehallion last night ). The plan is to drop the bags at the hotel and head to the football museum at Hampden before going to watch the fans match. Then scuttle into town for a few pre-match pints and a sing-song . I'm really looking forward to it. Edited October 26, 2014 by ColemanY2K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
