Aston Villa v Celtic Post-Match Thread

[itbrvilla]

Yeah, I have no interest in that sectarian shit, and if anything, have sympathy for the nationalist cause in the most general terms, but coming to Birmingham and singing that IRA shit, they can absolutely fuck off, the "look at us, aren't we special" ******.

And cosplaying paramilitaries in new street, bunch of ******.

[Rory]

Before and after the match every Celtic supporter I spoke to, without exception, was great. Inside they were scum.

In what way?

About 89 1/2 minutes singing about the IRA.

I'm Celtic over Rangers every day of the week, but that shit is shameful, and I know a lot of Celtic supporters who agree.

Those responsible can sing about their murderers all the way home, the fucking throwbacks.

Maybe it's a response to Rangers fans singing The Sash and their various songs about killing Catholics and Nationalists for the sake of it, and it's just become repetoire

I'm from an Irish background and I have said I'm Celtic over Rangers. I've been to a game at Parkhead and had a great time.

Some things you cannot defend.

Were they playing Rangers?

Martyn is edging towards the quite inevitable dodgy ground you'd expect to find him on politically on this, I fear.

Genuinely not sure what relevance there is to Rangers fans doing anything when you're walking around a multicultural, multiethnic, religiously mixed city like Birmingham, singing shit like that.

And a city full of people of Irish descent, the overwhelming majority of whom in no way support the killing of innocent people.

If, and I have no reason to doubt Dave, they were singing about the IRA while at a match in Birmingham of all places then that tells you all you need to know about them.

Agreed, the same City that suffered terribly in 1974 at the hands of those they sing about.

No class.

Exactly why those two clubs should stay where they are…we just don’t need all the nonsense around them both.

5 minutes of madness when we fell apart after Cash went off but thought we were pretty comfortable for the rest of the game…they worked hard but didn’t have a lot outside of that 5 mins.

Kamara was immense, not a long term solution as good teams will pick off his lack of pace in that role but he has sooo much class.

That was the best all round game Ollie has had this season, he had #6 on toast…obv will be remembered for the penalty but he led the line brilliantly.

Think others have praised Rogers & Ramsey but I thought Bailey looked a lot more lively too…kept willing him to cut inside and have a shot rather than cut in and try to pass it.  Would imagine Malen will start over him on Saturday but hopefully a bit of competition will do him good.

Quite.

The game was amazing, we made it hard for ourselves with poor finishing and poor defending, but incredible night.

There is an historical fixation that in no way justifies but contextualises the nonsense: that more Irish civilians were killed by Unionist bomb attacks in 1974 (often considered the height of the Troubles) than British civilians killed by Republican bombings.

What this means to Glaswegians in 2025, I have no idea. It is disgusting to come to the city where such atrocities were committed and sing about those who committed them.

[DrGonzo]

It's all they have to sing about because their football teams are shit.

Well done Villa, who had us pegged for automatic qualification at the start of the competition? Nae fucker.  Proud as punch.

As anyone ever ejaculated in their flares…

Fake news :-)

Sectarian is a major issue in Scotland and it doesn't seem any government wishes to deal with it, but if it something connected to racism it a different story, something which has come to the surface in the last few days is been called a Fenian ******, which translates to been called a Catholic ******  on certain websites concerning this particular game, luckily I now now where I now stand because the same people wouldn't dare utter the nigger word or paki word in reference to the ethic community for fear of getting a knock on the door
