Fair enough, get you now!!

I don't have the money, but if the people is interested we could join and do something.

Oh Right, didn't get you there!! didn't know about that banner, Dirty S*um!!

It's not on the lyrics, but I can send you a version of Johnny Doyle where they do change bits and something they change is...

"And Johnny Doyle told me, not long before you died
I live for Glasgow Celtic and the Tim Malloys" (Changes underlined)

I can prove it by sending you a copy of the song if you wish, so my source is also official. I guess we misunderstood each other there and we might both be right.

But if he sings about Celtic and the Tim Malloys, it means that Chalie and the bhoys don't care being called Tims, and trust me, me myself as a Tim, I've called my self and many mates Tims many times. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

??

He might have been a Morton fan as well, but he was a Celtic supporter and had an enormous love for Celtic

The thing that hits me the most is the way all this copyright crap only really benefits the label companies and not really the bands.

In music the copyright issue is a difficult one, but when we talk about another publication, (I include music here too in a way), I wouldn't like to see my work being taken and someone claiming to be his.

I have to say that I do greatly (Even though not always) respect copyrights, not because I fear being fined or prosecuted, but simply as a respect to the author of the publications.

PS: Gary Og are you in anyway related to Eire Og? Just wondering because scottishgizmo's comment here. If you are, congratulation!! yous are class.

Lies it's not, and Taig comes from the Irish 'tadhg' which is the old Irish name for poet.

Protestants might like to call us Taigs and Tims, but we call ourselves that too, and I don't know why should it be offencive.

Tell me, why is it on the lyrics of the Johnny Doyle song then?

Brilliant Idea, I even propose something, provided everyone pays a wee bit and the prices are covered, I will even offer myself a voluntary, giving my PayPal account, and taking financial responsibility!!

I am not a regular on this site even though I would love to if my tight timetable allowed me to, sad to see this site closing down.



Think it's 50 years after the copyright holder's death, somewhere round there anyway!!



Sign me up, let me know by posting it here or PM me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) but it would be brilliant to keep this site alive!!

one question.



Is that what we would have to pay you? not being cheeky or nothing.



So what do we get for �400?

It's impossible to have a proper conversation with some people, I have heard this views before, and just make me laugh every time I hear them.

Yes you are absolutely right, we are the Tim Malloys!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

And Johnny Doyle was a hero!!

Why are we called Tim Malloys?

The theory is, (At least that is what I've been told) that there used to be a Catholic gang that called themselves 'Tim Malloys' from the Calton area of Glasgow in the early 1900's

I believe they called themselves this because their leader and founder was called Tim.

Apparently the nickname given to rangers supporters "billy boys", does not come from 'King Billy' as first thought.

This name comes from an infamous Protestant razor gang in Glasgow's east end in the late 1920's. The name Billy comes from the gang's founder Billy Fullerton, not From William of Orange.

COME ON THE HOOPS!!

I made a bet on the Wednesday 9 November for Celtic to beat rangers 2-0, I can't remember the odds, but I got it.

Next Saturday the 19 November I stuck a �5 bet on Celtic to beat rangers 3-0 at 12/1 getting �65 back.

God I love when you get your bets paid out, and God do I like to see Celtic beat rangers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Welcome, and hope you enjoyed it!!

Not a bad idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

No sweat, its on its way!! :D

Yes there is a need to appologize, I did answer stupidly withouht really, reading what you ment.

I don't like people with the same beliefs and targets (Even though this might be approached differently) to fight, and i did fuelled the argument, which is not wrong as I will keep challenging people with different views, however I would like this to be purelly opinions and arguments with good humour, I don't want to have republican enemies, no time for it.

No you haven't done nothing to me, and you are welcome to the forum, you will definitelly bring good knodlege and understanding of the troubles to it.

I do understand this and you are allright.



I understand what you mean here, a lot of republicans I know, are a wee bit closed minded, and tinted by SF opinions, it pains me to say this, but they are confused and just vote SF without really knowing what it stands for.

Having said this, I think Gerry Adams is a genius.

However I said it before, and I believe SF is my political party however I don't agree with them 100% and there has been some issues on the past that made me doubt.

But you should understand that this is one of the main issues I keep on arguing. As I said to you on my other post. this is not addressed at you personally, but addressed at everyone out there. I don't think much people on this website read Ian Pesley's manifesto, I wouldn't vote them, yet I find it necessary to know what they have on offer.

I perfectly understand you, but I still believe it is the Brittish Oppression that gave reasons for the Irish Republicanism on the first place, if we where to be influenced by the brits, without oppression, and without the years of bigotry they gave us, would you care what the 32 counties where named?? Well yeah sort off, but the brits out and a fair police force, are the step forward to a happy united Ireland.

I agree, however I wouldn't put the 26 counties there, the way they treated the IRA and SF for years, proves that polititians down south, are more interested on their political careers than in a united Ireland, reasons like this might be arguable, but however I don't like comparing republicans, we are all on the same boat (Hopefully)

About the UVF and UDA, theres lots of this here too.

It is alright, I am sorry for taking your first post the way I did, and I understand that you don't have a personal problem with me, I understand your reasons for doubting SF.

I am up for it, if you ever think of setting one up, just let me know ;)

It is actually good talking to you, and I like seing open minded people making up their own opinions, we might maybe sometime meet up in a pub or somethin :P

I have a live version of Willie Maley sang by Charlie and the Bhoys.

BRILLIANT.

Anyone want it, just let me know.

[/I]

Sorry, I never intended my post to sound as if I hated you, I don't hate anyone and I admit that the way I said it was not correct at all.

I sicerelly appologise.

I appologise for taking time on writting this reply as I have been very bussy lately. I could talk about history and give you an extensive answer to your question, however I am going to leave it simple.

The only reason I'll give for me supporting Sinn Fein is that they are simply the only party that i believe represent most of my views accurately. And at the end of the day I am free to use my vote as I want.

The main difference within Sinn Fein and the SDLP is that the SDLP are not republican enough for me, and no, I am not refering to paramilitary association.

I will use this wee story, I personally know someone* who is a Sinn Fein councillor for the Belfast City council. Elected on this elections on the 5th of may.

Now see the way you can vote in order of preference giving each candidate a number?? Well this person told me that people who voted for SDLP where giving DUP and UUP candidates a bigger preference than him/her self.

Being two political parties fighting for the same struggle you would expect some help from each other.

To me the SDLP are a joke, but I don't want to brainwash you or affect your beliefs. Just want to say one thing, next time you vote, read ALL manifestos as I have done.

Yes ALL, I even sat down and red the shit Peasly had to offer.

Make some research, and no matter what, dont come to other forums mocking other peoples opinions or beliefs.

No hard fellings

Aye its down now, purelly because it was a wee glasgow celtic fc video, saying that they won the league and all

we got stroked big time!! :(

Caed Mile Failte

Im not going to talk about football on this forum, not the place, if anyone wants a chat he is welcomed, we have only got ourselves to blame, for giving it away as a present.

:( Havent cryed so much (Literally tears driping from my eyes) sinze seville, the thing is I can take defeat, however rangers didn't win it, we didn't let it slip, we just tossed it away. Im actually depressed, but what can you do.

I feel sorry for Mrs. O'Neill and wish best of luck.

I am glad you like to see the saltire at Celtic Park, I am glad it is there and I am glad of some of the the connections between Ireland and some Scottsmen.

I was just reading throught your post and I am sorry to be late on this reply, but it has to be done.

Does it anoy you to see the soltire at Celtic Park?? or you think of it good.

Because I am confused, first we have the "Plastic Paddy"* issue, and supporters of all clubs round scotland complaining about McGueady playing for Ireland, claiming that wether they like it or not Celtic Supporters are not Irish, but Scottish.

Nothing is said about some Scotsmen that play for Norther Ireland ;)

On the other hand and sometimes, we get people complaining about the saltire at Celtic Park, by saying that we are not Scottish.

(I say we, because I include myself as a Celtic Supporter, however I am an Irishman from Belfast)

Anything related to Celtic no matter what it is, will always be wrong at the eyes of Scottish and Ulster Protestants, we will always be critizised and insulted.

Nothing personal with you, just stating a pattern that i am able to see.



some of them wheren't even catholics, and history shows that Celtic FC (as with republicanism) unlike Rangers, welcomed and employed people from all religions.

Celtic FC welcome everyone, which in my opinion is a good.

Funnily enough i have heard rangers supporters saying that no catholics at their club was a coincidence, and i have been asked why was there no muslims at celtic park.

pathetic, wat is the ratio in scotland of protestants:catholics:muslims??

i can also remember a protestant famous celtic hero, that had been rejected from ibrox because of his name, it sounded catholic. :P
