I didn't know that bit about Remembrance day. I know about the day...not really when the date is and all. Thanks. It makes sense now.

NY have released their all-time top scorer so they can try and get a fancy name instead. Err.. Ok.

Samaras beat Rangers 2-0 at the weekend. Though I don't actually care, the club is far from the one I liked the past decade.

I'd have contributed much more to this thread had I been, pardon the pun, on the ball. I will now reply to some mystified posts to clarify a few things.

"Wah, wah, we want to cause controversy" What a lovely bunch, they were at it last year as well.

Oh well, Rule Britannia, Northern Ireland is ours, boo hoo.


It's a sect, an extreme sect of their support called the Green Brigade which of course has been granted its own entire section in the ground. So thick though that they couldn't even spell 'bloodstained' correctly.

I don't get it. Honestly. What does Rangers have to do with Afghanistan,Iraq and Ireland?


Afghani and Iraq, nothing. There's a sort of pro Israeli thing because Celtic have some bizarre affinity with Palestine. I think the Rangers thing goes back to some Israeli players we've had in the past like Bonni Ginzburg and Avi Cohen. So Celtic naturally take up the political opposite and leap on the bandwagon.

As for Ireland, Rangers are traditionally protestant to Celtic's catholic. This originated from the Irish catholics creating Celtic in Glasgow during the time of the potato famine, and the protestants attaching themselves to Rangers to counterbalance. And since then political and sectarian divisions such as the conflict in northern Ireland where Celtic's republican arm wants Northern Ireland to be part of Ireland and not Britain.

So Celtic fans are considered republican and pro IRA, and totally anti British army - which is why their extreme arm slagged off Remembrance as it honours the soldiers from the British army who have lost their lives or been injured.

The whole thing is quite poisonous. I accept Rangers have a problem with bigotry in our support, but Celtic glorify terrorism and are quite vile in their behaviour. A minority of them interrupted a minute's silence to commemorate the deaths of 66 Rangers fans during the Ibrox disaster 40 years ago.

Hope this ramble made some sort of sense.

It's actually the same tbh. It's just getting more press now. The ugly side of the Scottish game has been highlighted more in the past 10 years than it used to be.

Don't they (Celtic) have some Israeli player right now in their team?

They've signed so many players in the past season I literally couldn't tell you who plays for them any more. A quick check on Wikipedia confirmed my suspicions about a guy called Kayal though - he's the Israeli you mentioned.

Yes, the bizarre politicial alliances aren't exactly held consistently. It's more a convenience thing - if this Kayal guy played for us he'd get booed.

Yeah, that's the guy. He played pretty good in the last game vs your team.

We were hideous. The Eastbourne Zimmer Pub Select XI could have beaten us that day.
