But many Catholics support the Glens.Certainly the whole of east Belfast, soccer fans, support the Glens.

But, we have just established that most Catholics are indeed bigots.

Ah well.

Lingfield are another club that uses flags like these and should not be allowed fair play gardai.

Dellboy would you be saying fair play if the PSNI forcibly stopped Bohs fans waving a tricolour at the Oval? Somehow I think not

Im not in a position to comment on whether the LoI has bigots, but i'll take your word for it.


I was just pointing out that patrique, in a different thread a few months ago, said that linfield were the only bigoted team from The Big Two(Linfield and Glentoran). I always believed that they were both as bad as each other and, what happened the other day proves my point, that both the Big Two have bigotted fans.


I can't comment on league of Ireland Either because I don't watch their games. I do go to the Irish league and all manner of GAA and ravenhill frequently so I feel qualified to comment on these. Patrique is basically right, but if you read my earlier post you will see that the truth is most people at games are there to watch the game but if you really want to identify closed minded individuals you will be able to spot them, or even find out after a brief chat with them. I speak here of GAA and soccer. The rugby crowd are actually the soundest of the lot.

Can anyone enlighten me as to why Dellboy in all his posts always refers to Linfield as "Lingfield"? Not trying to be smart but it's something I've noticed for a while now...am I missing something or is this just a Dellboyism

The Oval is a cesspit. A buddy was playing up front for the glens, he ballooned one over the bar, there was a lot of jeering from his own supporters, but the one notable comment was "ye should stick to the bogball ye *------* T-----G. what was also funny was a picture of the same player getting a lift in a helicopter in the back page of the irish news to make a Gaelic match in time, landing in his soccer gear, all them catholics from east belfast that patriques on about were raging.

Now Bobby, sit down, take a deep breath, and read this slowly. very slowly.

Maybe it was NOT a Catholic who was shouting.

588926 Super bigots: Linfield, Coleraine, Portadown, Cliftonville, Donegal celtic.

Middle Bigots: Glenavon,


Lower bigots: newry, glentoran, Distillery.

In short all clubs have some bigots, just like every GAA county and club. A fact of life up here.

But some are a lot worse than others

Having played against Glenavon at Mournview, I can assure you that they are far from middle bigots Patrique

I remember there was a Glenavon supporters club in Andersonstown.

Could never understand why, when Distillery were only down the road.
