    I noticed this point being touched on in another thread and I thought it would be interesting to see what people's thoughts on it were.

    Do you consider yourself a Celtic fan or a football fan?

    If you vote for football fan that does not mean you are any less of a Celtic fan! It simply means that you enjoy all football not just Celtic matches.

    Do you just get excited when you watch Celtic play or do you like watching the English league or foreign leagues or International football as well?

    When I was young I was mad about football. I would watch any live matches that were on the telly, I couldn't get enough of it. I could watch football for hours and not get bored. Nowadays I'm really not bothered. Oftentimes there are Champions League matches or International matches being shown live on the telly and I don't even bother watching. I just can't get excited about it. There's no emotional attachment in it for me and I need that emotional attachment to really enjoy it.

    So I would class myself as more of a Celtic fan than a football fan.

    When l watch football there's always got to be a team l want to win. Find it hard to watch a game where l'm not bothered who wins, unless its a cracking match or they're kicking * out of each other.

    Picked "Just Celtic" for the same reason, I love football but these days I can rarely sit through a full match unless it's us.

    I voted football fan, but really even that is limited to a number of teams. I care whether Celtic and Bristol Rovers win, and whether The Rangers or Bristol City lose, and I keep an interest in scores that affect any of those four teams.
    A mid table game between Aberdeen and St Mirren wouldn't really interest me.
    I can watch rugby as a neutral though.

    I would have said Celtic fan but since there's no football on the tele I'd say I'm a football fan

    Just Celtic for me. Other teams and matches just don't excite me.

    Celtic first obviously but I'll watch most anything I can, without football I'd have * all to look forward to.

    Outside of Celtic i know very little about football...apart from the EPL,which is understandable.

    Not got much interest in any other football really.

    Voted football fan but in all honesty the only games I can sit and watch are in the Bundesliga, Real vs Barca (or other big derbies) or during the major international tournaments such as the World Cup or Euro Championships. Oh and obviously the champions league, but usually only the latter rounds. I will put other games on obviously but they rarely have my full attenttion.

    Celtic games obviously come first by a long way.

    Celtic made me love football so I love Celtic more than football! It's not just on the pitch I adore it's everything that happens off it aswell! I'd just be a football fan if I never had Celtic and wouldn't have the same passion for any other team

    I'm on the same wave length as yourself even the champions league final never got me excited... I'm interested in it of course I am but if I had to miss it due to something I wouldn't have been disappointed

    Just Celtic for me. I'd think nothing of missing a game, or turning a game over on tv involving any 2 teams, but I'd make sure I saw Celtic at any cost.

    Celtic fan.

    Haven't really enjoyed other football games since 2006.
