    Being a Liverpool/Celtic fan due to parents, I'm curious why a lot of Celtic fans seem to resent Liverpool? I always thought these clubs shared a special bond. I live in Liverpool, so I've met very few Celtic fans in my time, only when I went to Celtic for a few matches, but it seemed a hostility was there. I'm just curious why?

    Because they join our forums with stupid names that don't mean anything.

    Maybe if you knew the story behind it, it wouldn't seem stupid.

    Don't take it personally, he's probably joking.

    My Dad brought me up with Liverpool being 'my English team' and I've been to three Liverpool games (one was v Celtic though) and I used to have tops.

    But I wouldn't say I supported them, don't watch their games often enough. Couldn't even name their starting 11 to be honest.

    Don't dislike them, don't love them. Wouldn't mind seeing them actually win the league.

    Although I don't like how your fans stole YNWA & JCGE. :icon_mrgreen:

    The sentence in bold is an indicator that there isn't really a special bond between the clubs.

    I'd put money on the majority of modern Liverpool fans not liking/not caring about Celtic.

    I thought we sung YNWA first?
    But I agree with the JCGE though, not very well adopted for Suarez song. All sorts of clubs are singing it now...

    It's Fields of Anfield Road that I hate. It's almost ruined the Fields of Athenry for me.

    Don't have any feeling negative or positive for Liverpool. I do know a lot of Celtic fans though who went to Anfield in 03 who said the Liverpool fans were great when they didn't think we had a chance against them. They apparently turned as the game wore on.

    Yes it was a joke. But I fail to see how a story could make me love you any more than I already do.

    I'm think it was us but I'm not really bothered who sang it first because we sing it better. :50:

    The * is Fields of Anfield Road?!

    It will be interesting to see what LeBron James and Co. Do with the team. Do you guys think that will bring more Pool fans in the US?

    Some of your fans are sooo delusional it drives me nuts.

    I think you did sing YNWA first though but we sing umpteen times better.
    You also took Feilds of athenry and JCGE and absolutely ruined them.
    Theres loads of things i respect about liverpool though ie your history, some of your players and even the way your fans back your club.
