Sad people stuck in the dark ages.

Whilst I would condemn all those involved, the shameful minority at Celtic may claim to be from the Irish or catholic descent but there is no mention of them jetting in from Ireland. I don't see why Eire is mentioned. |  | | |

Thought for a moment this was something to do with our dear departed ex-manager and Radio Manc pundit.
Seems not. |  | | |

60,355 capacity, say 5,000 away supporters. Section 111 holds approx 1800.
1800 is 3%, how many from Eire? you havn't got a clue, so yes I would say definitely a minority! | | | |

I think it runs a little deeper than simply any folk who travel across the water. The heritage and identity of the club is Irish Catholic and a large number connected to the club maintain this.
The majority fans identify with Ireland, the club make half arsed attempts to leave Scotland for Dublin on a regular basis. This year alone, 'Sellick' made motions to play their European games in Dublin next season during the Commonwealth Games.
They believe they're Irish and want to be Irish. They don't want Scotland and vice versa. [Post edited 3 Dec 2013 13:55]

The idea that Ireland as a country should feel any shame because of what a few Celtic fans have done is pathetic. Also the use of the term Eire is a little outdated - it has been widely known as Ireland or The Republic of Ireland since it declared itself a republic in 1948. | | | |

Eire is the Irish language word for Ireland, so I don't think it's really true to say it is outdated. It's used on Irish stamps as well, for example:

Different in the Anglophone world, though, which I imagine is your point. |  | | |

What percentage of Celtic fans make up that "majority" that identify with Ireland? And I'm sure Scottish football clubs appreciate Celtic's presence even if they don't like them, especially after the farce that is Rangers decided to implode. |  |

Eire has been a free state since the proclamation on Easter Monday 1916 with the Declaration Of Independence coming on 21st January 1919.
