hi mac how are you keeping, its just the same on merseyside with liverpool and everton, prods and catholics, rangers and celtic all in that order but at least it is on the wane and has been for a number of years.Mac 60 wrote:Bullshit, pure sectarian bullshit. Most celtic supporters wouldent be able to tell you the first thing about Palastine or its history let alone find it on a map. Likewise would the Rangers supporters on Israel. Any that do are mostly a silent minority who know better than to say anything. My reasoning drawing this conclusion is coming from Northern Ireland where both teams are followed with an almost/actual religious zeal. Go into any repulican area over here and you will see Palastinian flags flying from lamposts along with Irish Tri colours and other republician flags, likewise in Loyalists areas where you will see the Israel flag on display. I work along side young men from both communitys and often amuse myself asking them the meaning of these flags presence and their ignorance is beyond belief not only about the middle east but on their own country. To coin a phrase ive heard used here " Pub historians". Most have never read anything more indepth than the Sun newpaper since leaveing school. In conclusion no sport shouldent be used this way.... Sry for the rant but it boils my shit !
when i was a kid i would get battered of me old man if i was caught playing with catholic kids.
politics abs so use in sport, sport is where all nations religions beliefs can get together and the best man/woman wins end of (olympic code) and it should not be a cash cow.
