Let's not fall out over this! First of all, I never said I hated British or English people, in fact, I have nothing against them - I just don't like British imperialism, that's all.
I also can't understand why Scottish Celtic fans of Irish descent cannot celebrate their heritage without being labelled pro-IRA bigots. I do not agree with the actions of the IRA and other such groups but in that I includes the UVF and other loyalist palamilitary groups who are just as bad as the IRA.
We celebrate and acknowledge our heritage, unlike many Rangers fans who glorify the UVF and Ulster, not because they feel an affinity with the place but because it opposes the Irishness which surrounds Celtic. Now that's what I call small-minded bigotry.
