Big Laff's Dodgy Barnett 20 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I always wondered why these English players like Gary Hooper, Lee Naylor etc can play for C*lt*c.down to the fact that they wave the tri-colour, sing about the I Ran Away, shout FTQ etc.the IRA's fucking bombings of Londonthe only answer I can think of is the money.FUCK THE IRA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll have to deal with racist fans down in England on a regular basis so I doubt this would hinder them that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know English Celtic fans, who buy the strips every year, yet don’t have a clue what the club stand for.

safcrhys 5 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 If you offered me even only £1k a week I would play football for a living for Celtic or even Newcastle.On the other hand I don't understand how any Englishman could support them, to choose to support them it means you must know a little bit about the club, and surely all the anti-British shit that gets spouted at the Tattie Dome every other saturday would put 99% of people off?That said there are alot of people with Irish ancestor's over here.

I know a lad who classes himself as Irish even though his family links are very, very weak. The last time I saw him he was drinking in TJ Doyles (an Irish boozer in Sunderland) in full Ireland kit singing Irish rebel songs. The lad was born in Sunderland; so was his father; so was his Grandad; yet he is Irish apparently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Believe it or not, there are alot of republican sympathisers living and working in England, some in very good jobs and making millions. TravelingwillBEARy got the correct answer anyway. Ole also makes a very important point too, in general the English actually like the Irish more than us, God knows why, the Irish tried to bomb them to smitherines and in our recent history too, but it seems to have been sweeped under and forgot.
