The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Jonah]

all depends what you class as 'fans'.  most of belfast support celtic or rangers simply because it involves sitting on their fat holes drinking cans and watching them on tv.

Same for Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal fans everywhere in Ireland.

All of them?

'Most' as was in his post.

Wouldn't agree with that at all.
There would be a good few like that but not most as you say.

My point is as valid as his.

I think his point was to be a Cliftonville 'fan' and seeing them play means getting off your arse and going to the game whereas you can be a Celtic 'fan' without leaving your armchair!

Thanks for all the replies, but all I was getting it really was the question 'If you asked a Nationalist soccer follower from Belfast whether they liked Cliftonville or Celtic better, what would they say, apart from f@%k away aff?"  Would more identify primarily with Cliftonville, or would more pick Celtic?  Thanks again.  My own feeling was Celtic, but then again I'm not from Belfast and I don't follow the Irish League too closely.

They'd say, 'Soccer? Do you mean football?' Then they'd tell you to f@%k away aff.

I'd think it would be Celtic by a country (or city) mile.

But if you are from the Ciftonville area.........

Of course its Celtic

By a good distance as well

[dillinger]

It is of course.

But would it not be better to see local fans wearing the colours of Rangers and Celtic? 

Doing this, money will be going back into the clubs.

Of course i mean, Carrick Rangers and Donegal Celtic.

This game on anywhere on tv tonight apart from sky and/or setanta?

[The Worker]

Why do rte show the utd game? Surely there are more Celtic fans in its region than utd?

[Armaghgael]

Any stream/websites to the game?

[Tony Baloney]

It would be a close call.

RTE have always been biased towards Man U.
Would have preferred if they showed the Chelsea game myself.
