Any Liverpool fans I know in Dublin couldn't give a flying eff about Gerrard or his new team. There may be some somwhere but to tar all Irish Based Liverpool (or Fans of other teams) with this brush is just silly.
Any Liverpool fans I know will probably be supporting Gerrard because of the stick I gave them when the horrible bastards lost UCL final
Regarding the thing about Murray's on O'Connell street......it's an absolute dive, but did they let in any celtic fans?
Cancelled the Band on the lads that had booked back in May, where more interested in the Money from the England fans. Rumour they had credible info there was going to trouble, not from either the Celtic or England fans mind you from some LOI fans I believe.
Haven't darkend its doors in a long time and had no intention of being there last week.
eff off with that generalised anti-Irish bullshampoo you pair of muppets. Any of my Irish Liverpool supporting mates are asking the same question about Gerrard's appointment as I'm asking myself - why on earth would he take over that clustereff of a club?
Nice Welcome to the conversation fellow chum
What I state is in my every day experience/lifetime experience
I eagerly look forward to your eloquent response
I'd like to give you an eloquent response if I may.
Funny how some huns think they have a hybrid pitch. As if Dave would buy that
Was thinking the exact same. There were quotes on the cesspit a few weeks/months back that they were way ahead of us having fitted a similar if not better hybrid pitch to the one we have a few years back. After last Fridays cutting up episode these quotes seem to be rather false!
Like Chairman like hun
"They started by stripping off the top 25mm of vegetation with a Koro Field Topmaker from Campey Turf Care, which required just two passes to take it all off. The team then cultivated and turned the pitch over before applying 150 tonnes of fresh fibre elastic material in order to bring the concentrate levels back up. Lime and pre-seed fertiliser was added as more cultivations ensued before stone raking was carried out. Finally, it was a case of ensuring that the levels were up to David's expectations".
They definitely can't buy their new tops? I seen a knuckledragger in braehead yesterday wearing the mandarin Hummel top. They're all coming out from under their rocks now
There was fakes from Turkey kicking about a few weeks ago and loads of huns went mad for them.
Might have been the fake orange one you seen, looks similar to the new orange one.
See one xxxxxxl being worn and looked liked the white top with union flag on top left corner. Fake I take it?
Unsurprisingly alot of Irish Liverpool 'fans' want Gerrard to do well against us
Stickies from the south....
Can only speak of my expericences in the North of the island and Celtic are the first side of most granted a few support the Brit teams south of our border but Celtic are always 1 or 2. For any northerner to support them would not go down well.
Bit surprised that any irishman form the south could even think about liking Rangers in any context consdiering how much they despise anything irish.
There was one dingbat in my school in Cork who supported Rangers in the early 90s. He wanted to stand out. Everybody else supported Celtic as a first or second team. I can't see that stat changing much even now. Most Irish people know what they are. Anyone supporting the hun from my background should be ashamed of themselves.

Chris Jack: Questions over Murdoch MacLennan are key for all clubs and not just Rangers
Spoiler: click to toggle
Christopher Jack @Chris_Jack89 Group Senior Sports Writer
THINGS are rarely black and white in the world of Scottish football and when it comes to Murdoch MacLennan it isn’t a case of blue and green. Rangers may be leading the calls for MacLennan’s head due to his business links with two Celtic powerbrokers but the issues over his position should be looked at by clubs across the country. When Ibrox chairman Dave King called for Gary Hughes, the then non-executive director of the Scottish FA, to be suspended, supporters of other sides could have been forgiven for shrugging their shoulders.
The comments that Hughes made in a magazine interview in 2006 - in which he labelled Rangers fans ‘the great unwashed’ - angered the Light Blue legions and King. Weeks later, Hughes did not seek re-election to the Hampden board as he left his position after three years. That didn’t completely placate Rangers, however, and in a statement they called for a review of the SFA’s procedures and a probe into whether Hughes was party to any discussions regarding the Notice of Complaint in relation to their 2011/12 UEFA licence. That battle is very much between Ibrox and Hampden but the latest fight that King has taken up has consequences across the country and leagues.
It is one that he has fought alone in public so far, however. Where Rangers have led, no others have followed as shots have been launched back and forth with no sign of being intercepted by friendly fire, or otherwise, from elsewhere. King has now shifted his crosshairs along the Sixth Floor at the National Stadium and MacLennan, the chairman of the SPFL, is firmly in his sights over his appointment to the board of Independent News and Media, a Dublin-based firm where Dermot Desmond and Denis O’Brien are influential shareholders. The SPFL have refused Rangers’ request for an independent investigation into MacLennan’s links with INM and the Ibrox board have now called for him to be removed from office at Hampden.
In response, a spokesperson for the SPFL said: “We note the contents of Rangers’ latest press release. The board has already made its strong and overwhelming support for the chairman very clear and we consider the matter closed.” Read more: Rangers set to clinch deal for Roma striker Umar Sadiq before Europa League clash That won’t be how Rangers see it, though, especially when Stewart Robertson, the Ibrox Managing Director, and MacLennan, weren’t involved in the board discussion. The potential for a conflict of interest here is clear, well to most observers at least. It comes down to who told what to who. Or not, in this case. If MacLennan informed Neil Doncaster, the SPFL chief executive, of his role with INM and highlighted the links with Desmond and O’Brien then his conscience is clear.
If Doncaster was told, as he should have been, then those details had to be passed onto to the SPFL Board, of which Robertson is a member. If both of those processes had been followed completely to the letter, it is unfathomable to see how we could have reached this point and how Rangers could have become so irked. Whether there is a conflict of interest or not, and there is no suggestion whatsoever that MacLennan has acted improperly in his dealings, that is only one issue. The details of a Private Eye article on MacLennan have yet to be addressed by the man who was appointed in July but has rarely been seen in public.
Perceptions cannot be altered but the SPFL had a chance to properly address Rangers’ concerns and didn’t take it. For some, their actions speak louder than their words. That could also be said about other clubs that have watched on as the statement war has unfolded and have chosen to stay in their bunkers rather than put their heads above the parapet in public. When the position of the SPFL chairman has been called into question, that issue becomes bigger than Rangers v Celtic or King v Doncaster. If clubs don’t show their colours, only grey areas will remain.

Rangers and Sports Direct in court clash over kit sales
Spoiler: click to toggle
Jenness Mitchell @Jenster13
BOSSES at Rangers are embroiled in a High Court row with Sports Direct and Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley. The dispute centres on a deal through which a company within the Sports Direct group sells replica kit and other branded products. A judge is analysing the latest stage of the dispute at a High Court hearing in London. Mr Justice Phillips has heard that SDI Retail Services management want to stop bosses at the Glasgow club entering into a new deal with a "third party". SDI bosses say a contract clause means they should have a chance to match any new offer.
Earlier this month, a judge made a holding order temporarily barring bosses at Rangers from signing a new deal. Mr Justice Phillips is hearing arguments, from lawyers representing both sides, about whether that order should be extended. Bosses at Rangers were involved in a High Court dispute with Mr Ashley in 2017. SDI bosses complained that Rangers' directors had wrongly terminated a deal through which branded products were sold. Rangers' directors disputed the claim and asked a judge to call a halt to the litigation.
A judge made a ruling in Mr Ashley's favour. Judge Richard Millett decided that the litigation could continue. Barrister William McCormick QC, who led the Rangers' legal team, told Judge Millett how fans had become angry after learning the club only got about 7p of every £1 spent and had staged a merchandise boycott.
Mr McCormick said fans thought Mr Ashley pocketed too much of their money. He said there was a widespread view that no "self-respecting" Rangers' supporter wore a replica shirt. Earlier this month Rangers announced that players would wear a new Hummel kit during the 2018-19 season. A spokesman said Hummel was the club's new "technical kit supplier". "The home kit jersey will be the traditional Royal Blue colourway with side panels carrying four iconic Hummel chevrons to each side of the jersey," said the spokesman in a statement.
"Made from Hummel's BeeCool performance sports fabric, this classically-styled jersey is designed to aid the players in achieving maximum performance on the field, with the jersey's dark blue vented mesh panels helping to regulate player temperature throughout the game."
