Most obnoxious fans..

... and the answer is: Celtic!

It's strange, I dont hate the club or its players at all. Not even their manager. How could I, I'd like to have seen him in at Fulham. {sorry Don}

But most of their fans are, or seem to be, absolute twats and knuckledraggers.

I blame public schools and over-attention to penis size.

 

Jim, Katy would love to sit down with and discuss this issue over a few pints. She knows the ins and outs of the club and couldn't agree more with you.

What's amazing to me is how a 1A club...meaning the best it could do if moved to EPL would be 4th through 6th can draw so many quasi hooligans!

It's said that it's two teams in Scotland fanning the flames of bigotry and hatred.. yet having read MB's over ten years, I find the hate posts all seem to be from proud Celt knuckledraggers.. {No, they arent ALL that way but that raises the question of why an intelligent person would associate with idiots}. Where's all the 'gers prats posting?

 

Re: RE: Re: Most obnoxious fans..

They don't even need to go on MB's to prove their bigotry; they'll just let it all hang out in the public.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-zAFWGu-gc <-- this second incident prompted so much reaction from the Rangers' support that Boruc (the keeper in question) was charged with 'Inciting a Riot.' All for crossing himself.

Now, I'm not a religious dude. And I condemn all the sectarianism that goes on in Scotland, even though I fear that it'll never go away. But say what you will about Celtic fans on the net, as a whole, they're still among the friendliest football supporters in the world.

 

I've got a question.

How does it work in Northern Ireland with their Nat'l team? Is it supported by the country as a whole or just Protestants? And the players on the team, is it a mixture?
Seems relevant to Fulham at this point.

 

The plaintiff rests his case!

 

Re: RE: Re: Most obnoxious fans..

Agree, agree, agree.

Most people who don't like Celtic these days are hanging on to the antiquated image of their fans. Quite simply, it is the fear of and creating fear in the unknown.

(Imagine that, from a Republican cheerleader. Who'd a thunk it???)

Oh, and the world's worst fans are simply known as Florida Gay-turds.
With Chelscum a close second.

 

RE: Re: RE: Re: Most obnoxious fans..

i dont know too much about epl/euro squad fans, so other than the obvious big 3 (manu, chelscum, liver-storm-the-gates-pool) i'll discuss other sports.

baseball: yankees, red sox (and i am a sox fan)

hockey: devils (their team ruined hockey!)

college: bu AND bc. the people at those two schools are the reason i will/can never live in boston.


and don - why not the boston lot?

 

Re: RE: Re: Most obnoxious fans..

Oh right so its all made up, its done with, so yesterday. I'm sorry I overlooked that obvious point I should have learned my lesson a while back when all those angles at the Bernabau who were just having good fun with Monkey chants against England, don't worry though theres no racism problem in Spain thats just the English media imagining things.

 

Re: RE: Re: Most obnoxious fans..

I'm unclear what your rant is about exactly.

 

Re: RE: Re: Most obnoxious fans..

Basically I think your giving Celtic a free pass and I don't think you should.

 

RE: Re: RE: Re: Most obnoxious fans..

Ah. Not a free pass, but based on my experience of following and supporting Celtic Football Club.

I too initially thought Celtic was a club to be feared or demonized because of the past behavior of some of its fans. But after communicating with many of them (some of them even are Fulham fans and visit this board) and reading about the progressive policies and conduct that has been demanded by the organization and its fans, I feel pretty confident when stating that Celtic is actually a Club and organization that many other clubs would do well to attempt to emulate. They market and run a a very successful business, that actually operates in the black also.

There is not much room for or tolerance of the type of bigotry that used to be considered part and parcel. But does it still exist? Without a doubt. However, if you want to find a club that is truly battling with sectarian issues, look no further than that other club in Glasgow, as krhimself has so easily provided examples of.

Meanwhile, Celtic and their fans were given a huge thumbs up by the hosts after Celtic battled but ultimately lost to eventual Champions League winners AC Milan in Italy.

Nope, not giving them a pass, but rather an opportunity to prove themselves. So far, I'm fairly convinced.

Fair enough. My comparing them to Spain was probably unjust.
