[Link] Kevin Doyle

You're not putting me down laddie.......trust me

You have quoted YOUR opinion as fact - without giving any real basis for your argument, and have also made prejudiced comments on behalf of myself and Neil Lennon

You are a joke.

 

It is apparent thay everyone who us arguing against him hasn't actually put together an argument about him as a player. ILTC aside, who doesn't think he is young enough to fit our model, have all brought against him the fact he is Irish.

Which astounds me on a Celtic forum really.

 

Actually, I forgot to answer the first part of that masterclass post of yours

Why does Stokes get more love and more songs than Gary Hooper? He does not. How many people are touting Stokes for a £10m (approx) move to the Premiership?

Why was McGeady loved more than Maloney - well for starters he certainly was not by me. The proof of the matter is that one went on to be sold for £9m, and the latter for about £2m.

Why do loads of people want McLean over Scott Sinclair etc? I take it you've been reading the player suggestions thread, and probably put two and two together and got 22.

Daryl Murphy was only signed becuase he was Irish? I take it he was only loaned out twice because he is Irish as well then eh?

 

I just feel embarrassed for him really...............

 

There we go, you're finally starting to see my point! All humans have prejudices and yours (as with most Celtic fans, due to history and lineage) is a preference for the people of Ireland.

You cannot deny this, mainly because you clearly do not even realise it yourself. It's just naturally there, a sub-conscious part of your make-up as a person.

 

Of course I have an affinity with Ireland, I am a * citizen of the country

Alright then Frasier, let's use your "knowledge" on psychology to analyze why i never liked Darren O'Dea, Aiden McGeady, Cillian Sheridan and never wanted the likes of Keith Andrews etc at the club?

And....ahem......which model are you using to analyze my posts?

 

i cant understand the anti irish bile on here sometimes

 

Aiden McGeady - because you're a fud :icon_mrgreen:

 

Exactly, so why not just say that at the start instead of carrying on like you were the 1st human in history to exist without bias?

If you can't handle my basic psychological analysis of you and are so desperate to see facts, then why don't you look at the ethnicity and nationality of every single Celtic player ever?
I guarantee you 1000% the biggest two groups will be, in order, Scottish and Irish.

But no, maybe you're right. This is nothing more than a statistical anomaly and we should ignore it. There is no preference whatsoever for Irish players and the fact that we wasted money on Roy and Robbie Keane was because Dermot Desmond (who himself clearly has no bias towards Ireland) got drunk one night and decided to ruin his reputation as a business master and * a few hundred grand into the wind.

And Lenny taking a liking to the aforementioned Mr Doyle is nothing more than Neil forgetting he is the manager of a top football club, and instead just * around like an * numpty on the Xbox.

Ok then

 

No thanks, he's *.

 

I missed this wee part here, but it is absolutely * comedy gold.......

How exactly can I not deny something if I don't even realise it exists?

 

Who are you, Dr. Freud? Seriously talking a lot of nonsense at the minute. People sub-consciously want certain players because they are Irish? So without knowing it, they are preferring a player because he is Irish?

 

Oh come off it. Efe Ambrose has been destroyed by the fans the last few weeks, is that anti-Nigerian bile? Charlie Mulgrew was * * and cost us that semi final vs St Mirren, was that evidence of rampant anti-Scottish sentiment? Many people want Gary Hooper dropped, is that anti-English bile?

Some people here have such a massive chip on their shoulder about Irishness and as soon as someone mentions the country, whether positively or negatively, they get emotional.

Yeah, basically, It's not hard to fathom. It's the exact same concept and thought process behind the fact that most white people associate withm and prefer white people. Blacks prefer blacks, asians prefer asians. Young people prefer young, old prefer fellow elderly, ect.

It's basic human behaviour.

 

Robbie Keane got our player of the year that season. That's not a waste, he was brought in for performances and if you think the performances were short of par then that is astounding lack of football knowledge altogether.

Roy Keane was worth a punt, one of the greatest midfielders of the past 20 years. I believe Xavi is the same age as he was when he signed for us? I'd take him if he was offered to us, and it's not because I get a * for all things Spanish.

I can't believe I'm even arguing this nonsensical point.

Me and Padmill have both offered the reasons why we think he would be a good asset for our team, on a footballing basis, you have offered no such argument against him apart from the fact he is Irish.

 

You should be a politician pal - absolutely great at avoiding questions.

See if you can answer these questions:

Where did I say I exist without any bias?

What model/theory of your basic psychology are you using here exactly?

Why would I need to look up the history of nationalities at the club to counter-argue a Neil Lennon statement saying he likes the player?

 

No thanks not for me really don't rate him

 

I think this thread should be moved to the * funny farm

 

If you remember rightly, Roy Keane was wanted by several English Premier League sides, as well as many abroad.
Everyone knew he was a Celtic fan, and the powers that be were hardly going to turn down the chance to sign a top class, experienced midfielder.

As for Robbie, he was still a top performer and had a good record in his short time here.

Both signings created a lot of attention, and probably saw a sharp incline in shirt sales etc.

Murphy has been a poor signing. Much like Rasmussen, Fortune, Hooiveld or Bangura in recent times. Do their nationality have anything to do with why we signed them?

 

Just seen his answer to Mrs Brown Bhoys, how do you explain the fact the biggest * I know are Scottish. Should I not like them because I'm Scottish?

Jesus * man, this is embarrasing.

 

According to Caz, if Celtic were offered Lionel Messi and Paddy Gamble - i'd be sub-consciously taking a gamble on Paddy, rather than wanting Messi

This thread should be stickied
