Does Andros remind anyone else a little of Barry Chuckle when he has his beard?

I have never come across any Celtics fans who have had any problems with Tottenham so this is strange. If I thought Tottenham fans use of the star of David was in any way a political statement about Israel, I would not support Tottenham at all. I think most British supporters understand this but it is misunderstood occasionally abroad, for example Lazio's Palestinian flag directed at us.

They have a particular view about the poppy imagery (which they are entitled to have), should not really mix it with football in my opinion. I am not saying I think they are right but to a lot of the people around the world find the poppy offensive. To me it is just about respecting all those who have sacrificed their lives for freedom, to others it is not. I find using the Palestinian flags a bit odd as it is a bit irrelevant to being a Celtic supporter. It is not a political rally it is a football match after all. Although outside of a football context I see no problem with having a Palestinian (or Israeli) flag.
 
- Any club that is despised by Chelsea, Woolwich, and West Ham must be doing something right.
- Fulham are the most neutral club on the planet; I'm not sure that they actually hate anyone.
- QPR is managed by duct tape.

As for the rest, well...

I was at a Fulham game with some mates a couple if years ago, they were playing the early Europa game in July or something against some tiny club... The Fulham fans were singing about hating Tottenham. Made me smile!
 
They like to take their little sectarian war with rangers too seriously, so seriously infact that even if it isn't rangers they still relate everything to politics, bunch of backwards, knuckledragging, confused idiots, flying Tricolours in scotland, what the fuck is that all about, singing about how glorious the IRA were, hope we stuff them, got a sense of entitlement because they're able to walk their shit league every year and get a UCL with no real effort, only good thing out of that club was Larsson, the rest can go fuck itself
 
Oh and the booing during rememberance sunday and shit about poppies, they can definetly go fuck themselves for that, if they want to live in ireland so much, then why don't they fuck off
 
I'm at the airport. Jan, Hugo, Mousa, Nabil, Chadli and Pauli are not with the squad. Others should be there.

It's a Northern Ireland thing really, during marching season each community love to get the flags out, Protestant areas are a sea of Ulster flags, Union flags, and, weirdly, Scottish Saltires and Israeli flags. The Israeli flags are a fuck you to the Catholic areas who like to fly Palestinian flags as they like to identify themselves with the Palestinians....make of that what you will...
