Gus, an ignorant assessment about Northern Ireland fans and Northern Irish identity. Predictable response from a hater. You are very misunderstood. You probably like it that way.

lol

read the thread see who the haters are but you have a point, my comments on northern ireland football team and people were out of order, most of them are grand, like in all things a minority can give the overall a bad name especially when plonkers like myself feel like a rant

Ok no problem and hater was too strong a strong word on my part. Irksome sometimes seeing constant generalisations about NI.

Craig burley is an utter tim, but fair play for turning up and calling them out for what they are. Celtic fans are in outrage over this, they think he's dangerous for exposing them.

Quite appalling piece of legislation being rushed through the Scottish Parliament at the mo : “The Offensive Behaviour in Football and Threatening Communications Bill”

The aim is sound but the actual provisions are really badly thought through and so much of it is vague and open to interpretation.

CeLOLtic back in Europa League after Swiss side FC Sion were expelled for fielding ineligible pllayers

In other news, I've been to the BMO stadium and watched Toronto FC play.
Interesting, but I felt like the fans didn't know how to participate, and I felt like the game was played a bit too much on the possession side and not enough intensity/pace when going forward, no movement of the players when they didn't have the ball.

I wanna go there. Mate of mine just moved to Toronto.

Not worth it. Expensive seats and beer is like $9.50 or something ridiculous. MLSE is terrible and can't build a winning team. Klinsmann is the only bright side but he doesn't do much.
Another problem with TFC is that we change our team every year.

Celtic fans' IRA chants drove me away from the club I love, says Pat Nevin
"It offended me and I do not want to hear it at a football ground"

By SCOTT MACNAB
POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT

Former Scotland international Pat Nevin has told MSPs he was "driven away" from the football club he loved after hearing sectarian chants from Celtic fans when he was at Parkhead with his young son.
He also revealed the "intimidation" he felt after being targeted by the club and its fans when he criticised their chanting live on air at this season's Scottish cup final.

Nevin was giving evidence yesterday to Holyrood's justice committee on new laws to crack down on bigotry in the game.

Supporters branded the new laws "dangerous and anti-football" and warned that they have been introduced in a climate of "hysteria".

Nevin, now a media pundit, told MSPs he had grown up in the east end of Glasgow, where the club is based, and was part of the area's Irish catholic Diaspora.

"I supported Celtic for most of my life," he said.

"But one day, I found myself sitting in the stand with my son, who had started to take an interest in football, hearing the song Ooh ah, up the RA.

"I could not accept bringing up my son alongside that, so I was driven away from the club that I loved. I was very disappointed about that."

Nevin was commentating for the BBC at this year's cup final between Celtic and Dundee United when he provoked the ire of the club when he hit out at a section of their fans over their chants.

He told MSPs: "The song went something like, 'As a young man, I'm going to join the IRA - provisional wing'.

"It offended me and I do not want to hear it at a football ground.

"I was shocked and surprised that Celtic Football Club and a great number of fans complained to the BBC, because I expect to hear them say that they do not want to hear that sort of song at their ground."

He also voiced disappointment at the club's "refusal to accept that there are problems" in recent years.

Full credit to Nevin.

Now we wait to see how many death threats etc are directed his way .... people really need to realise that this is the 21st Century one day.
