Celtic Tweet

[NAE NOOKIE]

Just seen a tweet shared on facebook from Celtic wishing the Republic of Ireland the best of luck tonight. I have no idea if its genuine or not, but if it is and considering the impact their result would have on Scotland:

WTF !!!

Seemingly real and they also wished Scotland well too.

Brand Celtic strikes again. All they are doing is trying to keep their customer base happy by releasing good luck messages that will go down well.

The fact that these tweets contradict each other doesn't matter. Their political stances and fan movements/philosophies have been contradicting each other for decades.

They are phonies and deep down they know this, hence their desperate attempts to be accepted by so many.

[Greencore]

"We're an Irish team" they will say. No they are a Scottish team with Irish heritage. I wonder if it annoys them that we have a more Irish name then their name.. Wouldn't be surprised. That's how sad they are.

I'm surprised they didn't send one to the Polish team to cosy up to their many Polish Catholic fans.

Who cares what they do? They always have & will play the Irish card.

[Betty Boop]

Don't see why folk get so outraged by this. Celtic have a huge Irish fan base, so what's the problem? They also wished Scotland good luck.

Pope was sitting just along from me in the south stand last night! Was he guest of honour?!

Fair play to the Irish. They beat the world champions to ensure they'll go through to a qualifier at least, while we chucked it against the 110th best team in the world to hinder our hopes.

[greenginger]

I suppose if they sent Scotland a " Good Luck " tweet as well its not a problem.

I wonder if they sent Northern Ireland one !

[Lucius Apuleius]

Not surprised. The number of the hun supporters congratulating NI on qualifying is also pretty sickening, especially coming from sites like ProddyNet or something similar. No Catholics in the NI team?

[stokesmessiah]

For some bizarre reason i wandered onto Bears Den last night, and they were actively supporting Poland.

[Bostonhibby]

Non Scottish followers of football teams based in Glasgow. Shame we're stuck with them.

[GreenArmyyy!]

The old firm are the old firm, a bunch a waster reprobates that bring nothing to society, best ignored.

[Andy74]

I generally find the responses to these things to be way more Sectarian than whatever the initial offence was supposed to be!

I asked a mate who is a Sevco fan if he wanted to watch the game at mine and he said "No, I've given up on Scotland 'cause of the way SFA have treated Rangers."

Really is beyond belief.

You don't see a problem with the top club in Scotland wishing Ireland all the best last night when an Ireland victory over Germany was going to (at best) severely affect Scotland's hopes of qualification for Euro 2016, regardless of how Scotland got on in their match?

I don't know of any other club in world football that would have issued such a message, with the obvious exception of Sevco perhaps. Have they congratulated Northern Ireland yet on their qualification?

The sooner these two cancerous clubs leave this country, the better. I honestly hate the pair of them.

Well said Trig.

As others have alluded to, no good luck message for Northern Ireland and I'm certain the Welsh and English sides won't get one either.

I ****ing despise Celtic.

But they want to play in England. Confused?

I don't know about Catholics in the NI team but last night the terraces were a sea of green shirts supporting the team.

I wonder if it causes any inner conflict when true blue supporters pull on a green shirt to support their country.

I do. This has nothing to do with the ROI qualifying and us not, as you say fair play to them. What it has got to do with is arguably Scotland's most high profile club sending a message of support to another country in direct competition with our national team for a place in a major tournament. If we had managed to make it, it would have given our game a massive and much needed boost.

I couldn't give a rats arse how many Irish supporters Celtic have .... they are supposed to be a Scottish football club and as a result fully behind Scotland's national team .... not sending good luck messages to the competition, no matter who they are. Hibs have a handful of Polish fans, some of whom were probably in the away end last night, they are very welcome at Easter Road and I love that they have chosen us as their Scottish club. But I would go mental if Hibs were sending their national team good luck messages when in competition with Scotland.

Can we expect a tweet from rangers wishing England good luck tonight?

Would they not be supporting NI?

I don't really see what Celtic were trying to achieve by tweeting anything to do with international football.

But they didn't just wish Ireland 'all the best', they wished Scotland good luck as well.

So what? I say good luck to them Wales and n Ireland, doesn't make me any less of a Scot.
It's Rangers who are the ****bags, and hearts!

[steakbake]

I think the over-reaction to the tweet is probably more telling than the tweet itself.
