They're stuck in their own shit world of struggling to get past the utter nonentities in the Champions League qualifiers.

They're stuck in their own shit world of struggling to get past the utter nonentities in the Champions League qualifiers.

We’ve won the European Cup. Got to another final and two semi finals, a few quarter finals. And played more games in it than you. You’ve been in it for less than ten years.

Check this table out and look where we are compared to you. When you win it come back and talk to me.

You’re beginning to sound like a rag or buswrecker.

It’s all about the istree!

Did you have to blow the dust off that prepared statement?
I think you'll also find that we played in the "old" European Cup in 1968/9. Only 2 games, I conceed, so your last sentence in the first paragraph is incorrect, I'm afraid.

That doesn’t count, as the competition no longer exists.

I’m no arguing with you two. :)

You fucker, no way a rag.

But, sadly you
have a point about the history thing. In Europe anyway. **** :)

You bought him. Take your mind back to when you didn’t have a pot to piss in and remember some of the players you had. Would they have been able to beat the teams we have in Europe?

One of the very worst players we signed (pl years) when we didn't have a pot to piss in, went on to star for Celtic for years.

Funny really, I wasn't alive in 1967. Neither of my parents can remember Celtic winning the EC.

I don’t think telly’s arrived in Ireland until 1970, so I understand that. :)

Also, the view expressed in an earlier post that every Irish person supports us is bolloks. I know that, so, your parents never hearing of it doesn’t surprise me at all.

I know most Irish football fans support English teams and again I totally understand that. Too much is made of our links with Ireland by plastic paddy’s here who love nothing better than to get all watery eyed about the old country. Makes me puke. I’m Scottish, not Irish. I have some Irish ancestors on my mothers side but, that doesn’t make me Irish.

On one of my first visits to Dublin the taxi driver was a city fan. The myth of Irish all being Celtic fans is bolloks. We have a lot, but I would guess nowhere near the numbers who have chosen an English team.

Anyway, I don’t as a rule go down the history road, but can be goaded into it. I’m easily goaded and I know it isn’t a good trait.

How did you become a city fan?

Are you saying that players can’t fail at teams and shine for others? Torres is an example of this. It happens.

Why do these tossers get a log in for a fans forum to only talk exclusively about another Club that is nothing to do with us ?

Can see Celtic scoring tonight but not 3 or more (if Valencia score)

 

[purplenose]

We got out of a fucking group with Salzburg and Leipzig in it. Championship? Even with not the same money we would fucking walk that.

I would honestly think Celtics current team would push for a play off place at best in the current Championship.

Oh and Millwall would kick fuck out of your fans home and away.

I know. Everybody in England does. We are used to that. It’s just the way it is. We haven’t helped ourselves with that perception through not sorting our bastard dire defence and tonight may be another away skelping. My belief is if we sort that we would be much better. Hopefully the summer will sort that, but, I’ve been saying that for four Fucking years.

The reality is the difficulty in getting good players up there in that league. Given a choice between joining Celtic and a decent Championship side such as WBA, Leeds, Villa all big clubs and many players will take the latter.

Were Celtic to play in English football that disadvantage would disappear. I dont think there is any doubt that both Celtic and Rangers could compete in the higher echelons of the English game were they in it. However claims of top 4 in the Prem and other such nonsense are wildly optimistic even in the event of the old firm having the financial clout to rival that of the big 6.

To be fair I did say challenging for a top four after five years. Not getting there.

As for players coming here? We signed VVD, our playing in Europe gives them a platform only the top six in England can. That’s why we can attract young players.they also know we understand they want to move on. We will never be invited to play in England. Both of the Gkasgow teams have too much baggage. I wouldn’t have ya for that alone. Never mind if we got there and took up two places English clubs have now. It’s a non starter. We are were we are. And that’s the way it will be. Us even qualifying for the CL is brilliant. I’m just hoping we can sort out our fucking defence so we do t get mauled all the time. That to me is a realistic goal. Going for 3rd place in the groups is a level I would take right now.

68 they became widespread actually, which explains some of the national rag obsession.

Rags, dippers and arse are all well ahead of Celtic, even though a lot of fans of those 3 also support Celtic.
People confuse siding with the team wearing green in the old firm derbies with support.

I know. Most Irish fans who support English teams would support us in a game against our deadly foes and most would like to see us win in Europe, so would fucking I. But, that doesn’t make them supporters, just kinda like us. Which is not the same.
