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.

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.

QUOTE (Jack Sparrow @ Nov 9 2010, 06:21 AM) 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.
