Steven Gerrard - A star is Born

[Uztai]

Uztai, it might have appeared that a spirited defence was put up on your behalf yesterday.

But you're not a stupid man.

I believe you have experience in writing copy. I also believe that you may have a connection with a chap who calls himself Paul Thompson.

I believe that you are not really representative of any Scottish football team, Celtic or otherwise.

I think you're an ambitious junior in the press arena who has been put on an errand.

Good luck with that

Nice little film you put together there. You sure you aren't the one with experience in writing copy?

 

[Maria]

Round the houses eh?

Why? If hes basque and fighting for independance. Their freedom fighters called terrorists like the ra and yet he cant bring himself to acknowledge any of that.

Strange

A good reporter never answers a question, does he?

You won't go far in that particular field in this country, Uztai......There are very few good reporters.

 

[Maria]

You ever wear one?

I believe a Basque separates or is it a Basque separatist?

???

HH

How devilishly funny Bill.

Always separate in the wash ha ?

Up the ra MD

Up the Ra Boab.

See, to me what would be presumptious would be to assume you didn't understand the nuances of Basque culture just by virtue of *not* being Basque. Because you might. Or might not. I don't know you.

The thing is you don't know anything about me either. You don't know how much I have read about Ireland or Scotland, or the history of Irish immigration to the West of Scotland, or the creation of Celtic FC, or its history, or how many Irish or Scottish people I have talked to about it. Not a clue. And in order to have an opinion and for my right to have an opinion to be respected, I owe absolutely zero explanations to you. Zilch. Nada.

But you have a few clues if needed: I have apparently been mistaken by some users for a native English speaker, I'm telling you I've been following Celtic for a long while now, and I'm definitely interested in all the subjects listed above - that's why I signed up at a Celtic forum.

You can keep dismissing what I have to say just because I'm not Scottish. I don't mind. Doesn't mean I will shut up.

see to me,understanding nuances of a culture is different from understanding, empathising or even sympathising with a culture by reading about it in books,did mein kampf represent german culture or chairman mao's red book represent chinese culture i will keep dismissing what you say,i'll never tell you to shut up!

 

[Maria]

Well Michael he told me to fuck up haha

 

[Uztai]

sympathising with a culture by reading about it in books

You keep assuming stuff. It's getting boring. Dismissing people's opinions just because they are from somewhere else has a name, and it's not pretty.

That said, good night and I might pick up tomorrow evening if you're still singing the same song (I might be a bit stubborn!)

 

[Maria]

Why when you have been found out again and again and again

 

[Wee Fergus's Bunnet]

All this talk of basques is not good for my ageing heart - sorry , you were talking politics ? Oops !

assuming,whit! you've never debated a single point, regarding basque culture i'm from "somewhere else" so i'm not arrogant enough to state i understand that culture through reading books!

 

[michael duffy]

Well Michael he told me to fuck up haha

now that's debating and defending your corner!!!!

iam sure you would understand the Celtic culture is not a culture that turns its back on anyone because of their place of residence or birth, therefore if you are a true believer in all things celtic you would have had the decency to return the persons line of communication with you.
If you are a little behind on certain aspects of a culture or fail to understand certain things been asked, then ask yourself for clarity on what is not understood.
You are a man i presume and you come from a region you state close to the heart and soul of various Celtic fans who hhave different affinities to that aprticular region and ahre many of their joy and happines culture and politics, therefore i am sure you would be only to willing to speak of the motherland and enrich as many people as possible and btring to them the joy you shared and maybe share some stories.

 

[According to Saul]

[Maria]

Exactly. He is a true gent.

Note the hypocrisy i would never tell you to shut up. No only tell the chic to fuck up.

Because he didnt know what he didnt know ??

 

[Maria]

Yep, it even has an Asda

Saul your from coatbridge arent you?

 

[michael duffy]

In fairness Basque is close enough

The Basques have their own local political problems

Ireland had IRA Basque Country has ETA Possil has the FLEETO

Intriguing thread. It brings to mind the notion...
