There's one in particular that really gets on my tits and it's that so called yank icafereo or what ever his name is.
Yep, that's my name. Its lower-case "L" and then my last name, Cafiero -- lcafiero. I don't mind using my real name because I don't like hiding behind pseudonyms, but your mileage may vary. I can't help being a Yank -- I was born in the United States -- so it's a blessing and (mostly) a curse.
Oh, and it's my extreme pleasure if I can annoy the ever living hell out of you, whoever you are.
He said he discovered Celtic last year on the internet and now thinks he's knows more about Celtic than anybody in here, he says he's from California or somewhere American, but my bet is he's either fae carntyne, shettleston or the calton..it's nae wunner the place is empty!!
Nope, I'm really from California, sport. I live in a town called Felton, population 1,100, about six miles north of Santa Cruz, which is on the Central California coast.
Yes, you are right: I discovered Celtic last year when I started following what you call football, and lucky for me I had the good fortune to start following this club. As stated on numerous occasions, I also follow FC St Pauli, since politics (Left, of course) has a guiding hand in my choices.
However, I have never claimed to know any more than anyone else. In fact I am here on this forum because it is a great place to learn about Celtic and a great place to exchange ideas. Exchanging ideas means offering observations and opinions, which we all do. Even you, no doubt, Timbo.
In addition, the collection of personalities here make it unique among football forums, so discussions ranging from Henrik Larsson's best goal or which dog or cat should be held hostage (hint: none of them) adds to the colour of the place.
A pence-worth of free advice: If you don't like someone on the forum, set them on Ignore, as I will do now to you.
Have a nice day.
It is a new forum and it has a tone that is unique, more humorous, friendly and perhaps less cynical than elsewhere. It is not without its faults and we as a community have worked together to resolve these matters and when necessary remove those who have no place in here because of their behaviour.
You hit the bullseye, Cap -- a great balance of discussion, news, humour and even way-out silliness. Thanks for providing this forum.
