Jives Miguel Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 His maw is a plastic paddy. Often see her piping up on Twitter. Albania you could 100% understand if he wanted to play for them. But these plastic paddies declaring for Ireland because they support Celtic and their granny went to Donegal on holiday in the 60s will never be anything but utter cringe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Gran (on his Mum’s side) was Irish so I don’t see how she is a “plastic paddy” tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a sellick thing rather than an Irish thing. At my secondary school I was one of only a half dozen Scotland fans in the year. The rest were ardent Ireland fans due to their collective stauner for persecution and othering themselves. Bunch of weirdos. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanting to play for another nation is just a strange concept to most people born and raised in this country. I imagine a high number of posters on this forum will have grandparents from another country - I do myself. I do have an affinity towards that nationality but would only choose to play for them if there was no chance of playing for Scotland - sort of in a David Wotherspoon & Scott Arfield way. The desperation from some ‘Celtic-minded’ people in Scotland to play for Ireland because of one grandparent is just a bit bizarre tbh. Take Declan Rice and Jack Grealish - these guys are clearly English and they jumped at the chance to represent the nation of their birth when they came calling. Contrast that to James McCarthy and Aiden McGeady. It’s a discussion that’s been done to death tbh and it’s a mindset I’ll ever understand, having not been brought up in the west of Scotland. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you grow up here go to school here your familly and your friends are all Scottish the team you come though it is supposed to be Scottish only thing is with him being a immigrants child he has decided to play for Ireland cos he is signef for Celtic and he has bought into the club was formed for the Catholic poor Edited November 29, 2023 by General dissaray 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afca32 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I know it's not the done thing to talk up a Scot Gemmill side but we look really good here. Very impressed with Bowie. And to think Doak is injured! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall and powerful but seems to have decent technique to go with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to think Doak is injured! 14 minutes ago, Gordopolis said: Yeah this looks like a fresh (and better) approach - full of intensity and pressure I think a lot can be attributed to the fact that the majority of this team are playing regular first team football at club level as well, you can tell there are a lot of players out there playing with a good deal of confidence. We've also done a very good job of exploiting the flanks, Doig in particular is getting a lot of joy down his side, while Bowie has been a constant menace both on the right and centrally. He's a player I've been impressed with for some time, I hope his next loan move (assuming he doesn't break into the Fulham first team squad next season) is at a higher level. Also been very impressed with our midfield, Connor Barron is such an intelligent player, while Lewis Fiorini looks sharp, especially given the injury problems he's had. I just hope we continue in the same vein second half, often we've had a good first half and assumed job done and sat back second half, given the momentum I'd love us to keep going and maybe add to the scoreline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
