What makes you a proper fan?

Incorrect. Guess again.

Of course not, it proves my point.

 

"and with the support of key individuals raised the finances necessary to rebuild Celtic Park"

"contributed to the rebirth of Celtic Football Club and he's like a part of Celtic history".

 

I'm guessing you didn't read any of the rest?

Or are you still trying to rewrite history?

 

Can't be ****ed to read the whole thread, but what makes a proper fan is one who supports their local team through thick and thin and actually goes to watch them.

That makes 99% of ****ers that post on here plastic glory hunting ****s.

**** you all

 

He was too busy finding new material for slagging off Celtic.

 

And there's the difference my closed minded friend, I don't have to trawl websites reading other randoms write "A version" of what happened to Celtic FC.

I know what happened and whilst McCann is a hero in the eyes of most Celtic fans (I'm assuming), he like war medal winners, took most of the glory. He did not milk it, but if you had been old enough to recall the interviews he gave on TV and in the media, you would perhaps have some better understanding of the complicated nature of how the deal to save Celtic FC was struck.

One fact which seems to have escaped you and Celtic Wiki and it's ilk is that Celtic were 1 day from the bank foreclosing and a Celtic fan, not Fergus, handed over £1million of his own personal cash the next morning.

Now, some could argue that he was the saviour of Celtic, but he shunned the limelight, much to your misfortune, as you have, and continue to make a monumental cock of yourself by telling Celtic fans, who lived and worked in Glasgow, and who had very good connections and information coming out of CP that they do not actually know who saved their club.

Worst thread ever.

 

But you hit a lot of keys replying to it

 

To you maybe, but I have opposable thumbs and 8 fingers.

 

I can't really criticise what with my delight in all negative things happening at Anfield but it's becoming a very common trait for people to hate other clubs with more enthuisiasm than they like their own.

 

I don't know Dan, some maybe, but a small minority I suspect.

 

Most commonly people who support clubs they have no local connection with. I know a Bristolian who supports Leeds and as such hates Man United. To the best of my knowledge he's never been to either Elland Road or Manchester yet he has a bitter hatred, probably trying to prove his undying love for some Northern club he has never even seen.

 

Dev - I agree it's a minority but there do seem to be a lot more these days down the pub, on the forums and everywhere else. When i was a nipper you just cared about your own team but negativity about others does seem to be as, or more, enjoyable for some.

 

I wish I'd seen that before replying to Dev - sums it up beautifully

 

Maybe (I hate to say this) Media overcoverage has caused it?

 

That's a possibility, it certainly seems to be the case In Scotland

 

and Ireland, North and South
