Irish Flags

Nice thread there, so having foreign country flag on match is bigotry ?

I don't think so, I'd rather say that saying to other people what they should do and what not is bigotry.

Waving Irish flags on Celtic matches is tradition, by the way if you don't like Irish flag you must have problem with Ireland, tell me what it is, maybe sbd can help you ?

So don't worry, if you don't like Irish flags, try another team, you have choice, but let people do what they want.

Greetings

PS I personally like both Ireland AND Scotland, mostly becouse of history, very similiar to Polish. And I don't like England becouse of what they did to Central Europe after war. But all that has nothing to football, nor daily life, it's only a little prejudicement of my own

PS2 becouse of many difficult words I had to use in this post I'm sure I made many mistakes. Sorry for that, feel free to correct me.

 

NO NO NO , REMEMBER OPU HISTORY LADS , AS FAR AS AM CONCERNED WERE AN IRISH TEAM IN SCOTLAND,

ITS THE SAME AS DERRY CITY ISNT IT !!

IF WERE SO BRITISH THEN WHY ARE WE IN THE ROI LEAGUE ,
WELL BEACUSE WE BURNT THE HUNS BUS OUT IS AN ANSWER BUT STIL LOL



FLY THE TRICOLOUR HIGH
IRISH TEAM IN SCOTLAND !!!!

 

I understand what you're saying there Ash mate. Personally I love the Scottish people and Scotland and I woulnd't mind seeing more Scottish flags at Celtic Park but I disagree with what billy said about bigots and Irish flags. If you or anyone wants to bring a Scottish flag to Paradise I'm sure no one will begrudge you that, but to slate the use of the Irish flag - that was always going to cause a stir.

 

spot on again Derry bhoy.............come on the Candystripes!

 

WOT THE * IS BIGGOTED BOUT THE TRICOLOUR??? WE WERE BORN FROM IRELAND FFS!!! LAST TIME I LOOKED IT DIDNT HAVE A SNIPER OR A SHOTGUN ON IT!!! GET A GRIP!!!

 

if u feel so strongly about this , why dont you voice your opinion at the next rangers(*) game in the stand.im sure OUR fans will listen to your opinion and take it onboard.go on ,it would be interesting

 

Irishrover, what is your avatar all about?

 

its about what so much on this site is about. Focusing on Politics, Religion and Terrorism over football.

I love Celtic, And support the cause, But I just wish that in these changing times people could move on.

It's no wonder we get slagged off so much. A lack of education means that these people don't even understand what they are talking about.

I would like to say it angers me, but a better word would be upsets.

 

my avatar has nothing to do with you boy

 

If some bhoy wants to wave a Scottish saltire flag that's fine. The butcher's apron is a different symbol.The point being that both are flags of Scotland and one is incorporated in the Union flag.
Why someone would want blue in Celtic Park is baffling but there are dafties out there.
I like the Irish tricolour it re-affirms our links with the founding fathers.

 

its got nothing to do with politics ,religion and terrorism.you talk about supporting the cause-what do u know about the cause?square root of nothing ,thats what.i am a serving british soldier who has served 5 tours in the 6 counties over the years and with two armies.you have the luxury of not knowing what i do.keep your silly opinions to yourself and anyone else that knows nothing about it.as for my avatar,its supposed to be ironic,u moron!

 

Aye, I can accept the inquiries why the Celtic Supporters held the Irish tricolour flags when people who don't know about Celtic and its history saw the Celtic Supporters first. The most of the inquiries from the Koreans who don't know about Celtic history are that "Why the Celtic Supporters held the Ireland flag? Did they not a Scotland team?"

Yeah, it's very confusing at first really. But I know why now, and think its pretty good. Moreover, some supporters shows their sense by makes the Saltire Cross flag into green one.

First, it's a matter of colour. We can't hold the blue things easily, especially when we play against Rangers. Even though I brought the Korea National Flag to Celtic Park, I concerned about the Ying-Yang which in centre of the flag cause that is consisted with Blue and Red. I really want to change that into Green one (e.g. Four leaf clover; like my signature :but that's not easy).

Second, that's not the bigotry. If you want, just bring the Saltire flag to the Celtic Park. I know there are many Scottish in Celtic Supporters, and I don't think the few numbers of the Scottish flag means we are not belongs to Scotland. like lyric, "Irish heart and Scottish heart will makin proud of yer"

I think that's a silly question if you asked like that after knowing about the Celtic History.


Wee Celtic Supporters from South Korea

 

Ash, this is the first post on the topic. A member feels bothered that we have Irish flags at Celtic Park but surely if HE wants to wave a Scottish flag he can. No one is stopping him and no one will begrudge him that but to say he is bothered that his fellow supporters are waving a flag that helps remind everyone of our culture and history, in this period where our culture is being ripped to shreds by silly politics and so forth, is just hurtful and demeaning to everyone hence the offensive responses.

WHAT WE ARE SAYING IS THERE IS NOTHING BIGOTED ABOUT WAVING TRICOLOURS. We are proud of the history - thats what makes Celtic unique and its supporters the best in the world.

So leave it alone - no one can be offended or hurt. Wave the Scotland flag all you want. No one has any problems with it. Lets get on with creating a great atmosphere once again and unite in this time when we are close to lifting the league.

C'mon Bhoys and Ghirls. Don't let a silly argument divide us.

C'mon the hoops for the league!!!

 

So what?Chelsea and Arsenal oftenly play with non english players in first squad.So what they supporters shoud do?Shoud they fly UN flags or rainbow flags.
I can't believe how someone can be so stupid or uninformed.

 

we do wellcome the irish and all other immigrants .just rember when in rome do as the romans do .we are scottish just billy 1912 told you .

 

just to let you know i am billy1912 dad that his date of birth and nothing to do with ireland an if he hates the english his step mum will kill him she is english and loves man u. sad person .

 

Hmmmm, yes, thats right, I'm the moron.

Well done.

Oh and by the way, I'm a NASA astronaut currently orbiting the planet on my 7th visit to space.

And if someone else has an opinion its silly? But your allowed all the opinions you like and we have to respect them cos your a BRITISH soldier, who supports the cause.

And the irony seems to be lost on everyone here. Maybe you should look up Irony in your British Dictionary.

Cheers!

 

if u want to insult someone ,why dont we meet.i will gladly educate you.i have just the right method in mind.people like u are brave men sitting at your computer opinionating on things that you know nothing whatsoever.I thought this was a site for Celtic FC fans.I suggest the powers that be here,start gripping the likes of this powers individual before people start losing interest in a cracking site.By the way,whatever your name is,you are a spaceman.I would have no difficulty believing this statement.
