The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[ashman]

There were 3 irish men on the field last night in Pittordrie.

All were wearing red , funny enough.

[screenexile]

Awful result. Team selection was woeful. with the exception of Griffiths and Tierney there was no passion. Scott Brown was only interested in acting the hardman. No leadership on our off the field. At this rate Aberdeen will win the league.

That's all Scott Brown has ever done imo. Dreadful player.
Wouldn't be just wonderful if Aberdeen did win it.

Why would that be wonderful? are you an Aberdeen supporter? What connections do you have with them? This sickens my hole TBH as the portion of Ireland that supports Celtic the rest want to see them beat. You don't support any other team in that Country and Celtic having the Irish connections you'd rather see Rangers/Aberdeen or any other team for that matter win the title...and if you've no interest in Celtic (look at the title of the thread) why come in and try to wind people up (we've already got Fearon for that)

The Irish Connection thing is resigned to history . . . what exactly is the Irish connection to the Club now? There are more Englishmen on the team than Irish players.

What I see now is a virtual monopoly on the Scottish Premier League and why wouldn't anyone want to see someone new come in and break the mould. Celtic supporters should be looking for it too as the lack of genuine competition has seen the board try and maintain the club on a shoestring which has led to the decline in quality of manager since Strachan really.

It was said at the time that Celtic couldn't cope with the loss of Rangers and so it has transpired. For the better of football in Scotland overall I think an Aberdeen Premier League victory would be refreshing!

If you ever go to a Celtic game you will realise the Irish connection is as strong as ever with the fans.

Football without fans, is nothing.

That is what the great Jock Stein said and the fans of the club certainly seem to identify strongly with their Irish heritage.

Celtic's average league attendances from 98-2012 were averaging 58k . . . the average for this season is 44k. The Sectarian element is disappearing and the whole "us and them" thing will be gone within the next 2 generations I would think and then what have we got left?? An average football club with a great history!!

[Applesisapples]

I could accept Celtic falling to the odd defeat if I thought in general the club is going forward. Unfortunately Delia is a poor man's Brendan Rogers. The Ronnie Roar of last season is quite embarrassing now. They don't play good football.

What's your point?

Your original issue seemed to be Celtic have lost their Irish connection. The culture and connection with Ireland is still as strong as ever with the fans, if you ever watch an away Celtic game, you will hear the away fans quite audibly singing Irish songs for 90 minutes with tricolours everywhere.



Are Celtic shit now? Yes.
Have attendance shrunk since MON left and the board's directive has been to downsize the playing side of the club and line their pockets? Yes.
Have the fans lost any of their Irish identity? Not one iota, that has remained steadfast with the supporters for well over a century now.

What do you consider sectarian about Celtic anyway?

Surely the fact that there are less fans lessens the Irish connection?!

Surely you can't argue that a big whack of Celtic's fans only support Celtic because of the Sectarian rivalry with Rangers and the Irish/British thing!! Sectarianism is fast disappearing whereas a young lad in the North used to be told "You're a Catholic you support Celtic" nobody is really bothering with that nonsense anymore which will further hurt Celtic's fanbase and their "Irishness".

Ohh so we have to have Irish men on the pitch to have a link with Ireland, you know as well as i do the link Celtic have with Ireland. their founder, their fans, their past players . I know everyone has their team to support and thats their choice but when people come onto the "Celtic Thread" and talk shite trying to wind people up when they've no interest in Celtic or Scottish football in does my tits in. The Celtic fans know better than most how much the team have fallen and how little money there is available, there's nothing can be done short term to improve it

Chill out ffs you big luder 
It would be great to see Aberdeen win the league in the same way it would be great to see Leicester win the English League,or someone other than Kilkenny win the All Ireland,everyone loves an underdog...comprende??

Does it really mean that much to you that you have to see Celtic win it every f**king year. Does it not get to the stage where it just becomes a meh moment that they won it again?
I'm not trying to wind anyone up but I think most football fans would agree it would be nice to see someone different win for a change.

There are less fans be a use we are shit, that is why there are less fans. If we were fighting out close title battles with the huns every year and holding our own against the best in Europe do you think those attendances would have dropped? Not a chance.

The decline in attendances with Celtic is solely down to investment decisions at boardroom level. Celtic get embarrassed in Europe and stumble along with a shit squad in a one horse race domestic league at the current time. They are the reasons for decline in Celtic attendances.

It's f**k all to do with the Irish connection as the Celtic fans have shown they are not willing to sit at the back of the bus when it comes to attempts to repress the Irish tradition and culture among the fans.

You will also find now that there is significantly less interest in both Man Utd and Liverpool in contrast to their glory years as both teams are now utterly shit.

The Irish are a nation of event junkies, desperate to clamour all over any hint of success no matter how insignificant it is. Just look at the rise of rugby football with the Irish in recent years, an absolutely horrendous game, devoid of skill or excitement who nobody really gave a shit about in Ireland pre 2000. Suddenly Ireland go from utterly shit to mediocre in this minority sport and now the nation is rugby mad despite most never even playing the game and possessing only a primitive understanding of it.

Celtic are a club steeped in Irish culture and tradition. Celtic are a de facto Irish club plying their trade in Scotland.

Aberdeen are not.

Of course it does...I'm a Celtic fan and have been for 30 odd years, i never want to see them beat no matter the competition or the opposition. That's a silly question to ask someone about the team they support. I know i get wound up easy but hey thats the way it goes
