its simplifying it a lot to say are u pro keane or pro celtic
i suppose if you were to put me in a box like that it would not simply be anti celtic probably just anti irish celtic fans in ireland who think real irish football is crap and then think its cool to be a celtic fan cos it expresses their irishness . no problem with the club or genuine fans at all . there are eL fans on here who do belittle celtic and everything they have done which i think is petty and misses the poiint but i suppose is understandable when faced with years of conversations like
"do you support celtic "
" no not really"
" your irish arent ya? "
" yea so ?"
"well your irish so u shud support celtic"
cue much gnashing of teeth
as for keane my opinion again is not pro or anti . i think he is a fine player easily one of the best in the last twenty years. what he did in saipan was wrong cos he could have just grinned and beared it for a few weeks knowing that he was our best player and that our chances of success were seriously diminished by his withdrawal. But its only football and to call him a traitor in my opinion is hysteria and people should acknowlege that he is now trying to put it right and put things behind him .i suppose that would make me pro keane
im sorry i know this has been done to death but i never bothered putting me two cents in cos they were very thorny issues on the forum i moderate and elsewhere i just decided to keep out of it !
