Politics and football

[Chorlton]

Are you taking the piss?

errr... i did start them with the intention of finishing but as no film has been made of them i haven't got round to that - why?

 

[Chorlton]

is st pauli a feeder club for celtic?

No.

if not why the fuck do you carry thier merch

demand

and why the fuck is your official store part of kitbag.com

outsourcing i believe they call it, catering, merchandising non-core activities - supposed to be very popular, look even the hammers are in on it:

thats well half arsed. And almost certaoinly bad business.


dave

you spelt 'alan sugar' wrong there

now i certainly don't have the head for business you have dave but i believe that chelsea and the English FA use kitbag for merchandise sales

 

[Chorlton]

well i didn't know there were official links between the two clubs but I do know alot of chuckie twats like to connect their Anti Fascist stuff to their Celtic supporting *cough*Di Canio*cough*.

sadly little was known about little paulos political leanings until his biography which came out long after he left celtic park

Knowing anti fa folk i'm pretty certain they knew about his dodgy politics, afterall he was very active with the Lazio ultra's and i'm certain the Italian anti fascists knew what he was like.

be as 'pretty certain' as you like but it only came to light after the biography

maybe for the majority of celtic fans, aye, but for the clued up anti fa lot i'm pretty certain they'd have known.

After reading his first book and reading his many articles in the Guardian and Times....I would say that he is a opportunist twat who has seen a gap in the market...And is happily filling it with a load of shit.....

He does not strike me as somebody with that keen an interest in football.

You have put me right on the spot and im fumbling nevously.....
I dont know that much about Michael Crick but his book on militant always impressed me and he got involved in the man u fans campaign. I dont know if he goes to see FCUM?
I think a few sports journalists say OK things at times. But i dont know any that i particularly rate.

David conn just seems like a bloke trying to ride a trendy bandwagon. Has he ever heard of Kingstonian?
Or Enfield Town? Or Walthamstow Avenue or Ilford?
I guess as his concerns are mainstream football fans and not total football pervs like me, he has to write for his audience...But i still think he comes across as a twat.

i'm all about the Leipzig i'm afraid


or Das KRAZY KOOL 95 DORTMOND BOYS that you see with the denims and leather patches at every german away

The Celts/St.Pauli connection is about the Celts being anti-Hun more than anything, what with a lot of 'Gers being right-wing, Queen-humping racist cocksuckers.

I'll warrant that a fair few (not all obv) that wear the clobber aren't really that bothered about anti-fash, anti-sexist, anti-racist politics, but moreover are definitely interested in being the total opposite of a fair few Huns, regardless.

I wear my St.Pauli shirt/scarf/hat with full knowledge of course

 

[grogwilton]

I lived in altona next to st pauli for a 10 months last year. the celtic connection is political, but the connection has imv shrunk in the last few yeasr as the celtic scene gets less political and the st pauli more. also celtic are still overwhelmingly of 'the british style' of fans. no ultras. whereas the most active st paulianers are now broadly ultras. (im aware of the green brgade but heyre tiny)

i wear my unofficial st pauli (i buy from the ultras in the fanladen, non of that bought from club giving Littmann money shit) hoody with full knowledge of footbll and anitfascist politcs.

 

[JTG]

bullshit! the majority of people I've met who wear St Pauli t shirts have fuck all interest in football.

There are a fair few St Pauli aficionados at Rovers who love football and pop over for a game or two every season.

i never really got that rangers were that sort of thing. i never got ireland either tho tbh. i mean the irish guy whol lived down are road "you support doing WHAT to british citizens"

shrug.

 

[118118]

yeah, sorry to derail like this: but this irish guy i knew when i was young (guess i don't get out much, or maybe my mates didn't like talking about politics), i didn't credit him with enough intelligence to be a utiliatrian is all, cos he was mates with my older brother and i assumed my older brother and his mates were all hedonists. so i nevger really got why anyone could reasonabley supprt terrorism... fair enough if it was someone far away from home he supported terrorism against, an arab or something (- i'm joking of course), but he seemed to be supporting something that could get himself killed. and he wasn't even that up for a united ireland, like it wopuld be such a great hting. confused the hell out of me.

so yeah, i suppose i supported rangers, cos i didn't know 'owt about the situation, certainly that it was really connected. and my family were "prods" (- not like that of course) etc. so, shrug.
