Better late than never.
When I said the Irish I was talking the Republicans & I said they would've rejected you because you said you were embarassed & basically, if you're not cheering for Celtic, you may as weel not be Irish.
The same actually can't be said for N. Irish for like someone (Rosco?) said earlier, people jumped on the Rangers bandwagon a little later & thus their supports in Northern Ireland isn't as conclusive as that of Celtic in Ireland.
Anyways, this thread is still Celtic. (the culture that is)
