Why do the media consider the Irish fans saints .

Being based in Wales you get used to snide xenophobic remarks. Used to wear my England rugby shirt to the pub when England were playing but after being called an English c**t by numerous celts I soon gave that up. Not saying all celts are like that but let's just say my eyes were opened when I moved here, can get really nasty sometimes. Will never support any celtic nation in any sporting event ever....in fact quite the reverse

celts??????playing england in wales-if i read right. are you in any way trying to futher put down irish people in this thread by trying to say that comments to you are connected to ireland in any way??
if you have your own agenda don't hide behind words like celts!! poor show.

[bushcelt1]

singing the fields at the end of a 3-1 thumping is class by the irish fans, england fans take note when ya get thumped tomorrow!

as always proud.

Unless I missed the point, I took that as referring to Welsh Celts, Bush. Wales also being regarded as one of the modern day Celtic nations.

Wow! Absolutely no offence was meant by my post (I'm marrying a Welsh girl at the end of the month for Christ sake!). I referred to the Irish as celts so as to include the Scots & Welsh. All I tried to get across is some of the vitriol I have to put up with just because of where I was born (across the border). Before I moved here I used to support all the British & Irish nations in all sporting events. The point I was making is that I'll never support them again (in sporting terms). Lovely people but MASSIVE chip on shoulders where England in a sporting sense are concerned.

I've had a guy in an Irish rugby shirt spit at me simply for wearing an English rugby shirt! Again I appreciate that this is an isolated incident but it's enough for me.

Nothing against the celtic peoples but cannot support them in the Euros.

"Paddy" is tricky, I would certainly be surprised if my favourite bookmaker changed their name

Please fella, look up what Celtic means before you go to any more pubs in Wales, Scotland or Ireland. You're going to be a murder statistic lol.

Can just imagine you in Ulster, I love your quaint little Celtic establishment, is UVF some kind of Celtic symbol?
