JayRanger93 0 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 The founder of villa was a rangers fan that's why their top is blue in the body and the marroon on the sleeves was because his wife was a Jambo.Ther crest is also loosely based on ours There is no connection, just a fan who likes both clubs and decided to make a banner to show it. I prefer the former Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you class that as a link? I wouldn't. Ask 90% of Villa fans if they care which team their founder supported and they will tell you they don't give a toss. Seen plenty of Tricolours at Villa Park in the last couple of years, doesn't mean they have a connection with Celtic or Ireland. Just means that individual fans want to express their nationality or support of another team as well as Villa. Don't get me wrong, it is nice to see. But any time these threads crop up everyone starts trying to make a connection. We are not tims. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeBlue 39 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Most people from Ulster or Ireland follow rangers or celtic and most also follow an english team. You can bet that there will be an ulster flag with a rangers crest or a tricolour with a celtic crest at most premiership matches. Outside the stadiums its also likely a stall will be selling half n half scarves with the club and rangers or the club and celtic on them. It means nothing.

bradfordloyal1982 48 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Alot of the clubs in the lower english leagues tend to have gers crest on some flags, I have had to have my own made while down in Bradford, as they have a giant hideous tri from the local irish club. take it to the bradford games when am not up at Gers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barca1972 0 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Villa was started by a bear. I was down in the 70's, we were treated like royalty and I still have friends down there. Villa fans love us. I dont even think O'Neill gives a shit, I'm sure I read he grew up a Man Utd fan. Only in Celtic fans head does he give a shit about them, their "cause" and their jealousy of us. He is a millionaire in charge of a club that was founded by one of us. FOLLOW FUCKING FOLLOW ! GIRFUY ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
