    Who knows. I don't have any attachments to other clubs at all, it's always been Celtic within my family. I suppose it would be a EPL team but havn't a clue which one lol. Most of my friends support Man U so they might have got me interested in them. Thinking about life without Celtic is really weird lol

    For me it's hard to say as I would either have had nothin to do with football and follow rugby or support Glasgow Harp as they play at my rugby club

    Good question. I can't even imagine supporting anybody other then Celtic. I used to go to Bohemians games growing up in Dublin. But Celtic has just been such an integral part of my life I couldn't imagine life without Celtic.
     
  4. ZMCFCCM!!??

    Father Joe Lappin by any chance?? If so, he's one of the soundest people on planet Earth!


    Me? Started life as an Airdire fan, parents didn't want us mixed up in Celtic in bigotted little Airdrie, they thought Airdrie Onions were a nice wee team. They were too. Problem was all the Celtic-Rangers influences around, especially Celtic ones in the family.

    Got older, realised the Airdrie fans were not exactly ecumenical, also a lot of bad press from my 2 uncles who were on Airdrie's books in the 60s. They hated airdrie.

    Having said that if I didn't support the Jhedi, I'd probably support Airdrie. Still have a soft spot for them.

    There's a lotta teams I like. I live in Spain and my team is Celta de Vigo. First team I saw on telly. Liked the name (which means Celtic of course). Portuguese team are Sporting Lisboa. German teams are Eitracht and Greuther Furth. Italian team are Cremonese. Norwegian team are SK Brann and have nbeen for years. Sweden? Only one team it could ever be now!! Greek team - Aris Salonika. Austrian team? Naaah, could never have a favourite team from that country!

    Funnily enough, from a post earlier, my eldest son, who's 6 and doesn't really understand football, said one day 'Who are they? Who do you want to win?'

    I asked him which team he was supporting and he said the green and whites

    (Actually, he didn't - he said 'Los de verde y blanco')

    and so he's a sellik fan. Everybdoy he knows including in-laws are Real Madrid fans and tell him this that and the other - but he dosen't care!

    He doesn't even call it football - he says Let's play at Celtic!

    Born and Brought up in Edinburgh so i was/would be a Hibee, my mother was determined never to let me support Hearts, we didn't stay far from Tynecastle but she was determined I was never going to support Hearts (found out the reason later on in life).

    Then we moved to West Coast where most of the family were living Still a Hibs fan but it was asking to much for her to ake me and my bro to the Hibs games! so she started us on the Celtic path, Never looked back since.

    So yes defo would be a Hibs fan.

    Bingo, Father Joe Lappin, who's now the priest at our school... St. Thomas Aquinas... he is genuinely like a mate to many of us in the Senior Years.. I'm not even Catholic but he is unbelievably sound to me....
    He's always organising trips to football games and rugby matches and stuff...
    Do you know him.. :50:

    Either Partick Thistle as i grew up in the west end or Hibs as i can see Easter Road from my flat.

    TBH i wouldn't be ashamed of supporting either, they're both * clubs.

    If I went the 'born and raised route' it would be Hamilton Accies
    If I went the 'family route (mothers side)' it would be St Mirren
    If I went the 'family route (fathers side)' it would be Bayern Munich
    If I went the '* it, EPL route' it would be Man City

    Dont want to admit it because the thought sickens me now but My dad was a Rangers a fan and My Grandad was a rangers fan so I'd have probably been a Rangers if Celtic didnt exist. Thank * they Do eh :celt_2:

    I reckon i would be an Albion rovers fan.

    But if there was no celtic then everbody in coatbridge might support them, in which case they might not actually be total *, that would be wierd as *:97:.
     
  19. well when ma maw and dad got married there was an uproar as my mum(a protestant) was marrying a catholic,we ended up moving down to nottingham where i was born my dad got me supporting the hoops from a young age but i was swaying a bit towards notts forest until i moved up here.moved back up when i was 7 then my mums side started and tried to get me to support rangers but i just said * yeez get tht hoops tap oan me:D

    so in answer tae yer question my mums family it would be THEM
    my own choice notts forest but if it was my mums it would be motherwell as its our local team and i go to a game down fir park now and then if i have a few quid and cant get a ticket tae a celtic game
