Kerryfail Meltdown - It's the hope that kills you

[Atheist Bear]

So why do you call it Derry?

Personal choice.

 

[Atheist Bear]

Are you delegitimising the presence of Protestants in Ulster who have mostly been there longer than most of those living in modern America?

By calling the city in which they live by the shortened version of it’s name? Is it really that big a deal?

You are at it, even I know it's named changed from Derry to Londonderry centuries ago, do you refer to Scotland as Pictland?

For the people that live there I'd say yes
Given your name what would you call Christchurch? How does that fit it with your belief system? Genuine question btw.

I've no preference or let it annoy me but my granda is from londonderry. Was in the no surrender flute band and from a loyalist family. They all call it derry. I'm in the apprentice boys of derry. Although I do like to shout LONDON before derry when singing the sash.

Too true.Most people up in the town as i call it don't give a toss tbh .Obviously speaking to a bitter one you'll make your point and i would never dream of writing derry down on paper but its not a big deal to the folk in the city.
Most of the people that rear their head about this are not from the place to start with .
Like yourself ,my grandad was in the No Surrenders and in later years the Thiepval Accordian with my uncle who went on to play with the Hammies .My bro and newphew are both Churchill men and i have only recently left the William Kings after 33 years .
As near as 15 miles away where i ve lived most of my life ,i get young upstarts giving it loud when i'd mention derry. Quickly put right on it .Most of them never set foot in it outside the August and Dec parades . I have many relatives all over the city and never hear any of them saying londonderry on any regular basis .
If derry is ok for the people who actually live there ,well its good enough for me .
As i say, i just call it the town when speaking to our family circle

No its not mate ,no harm but your wrong on that
Of course they are proud and protective of the full name for good reason but its just not used on a daily basis in general talk .

Please stop derailing the thread, thanks all. It’s not for discussion of city names

 

[Woodrow Call]

It's called Londonderry.

Well we don't sing about guarding Londonderrys walls

The plan was for them to win the old firm, go to Dubai for some R&R, watch us drop points away to the sheep and then close the gap even further when they played Hibs the next day.

How’s that working out mentally challenged scum.

 

[Bear all]

Because I want to? I know it's officially called Londonderry, why should that matter.

Because the bastard Provos had a sign saying you are entering Free Derry when they where carrying out their murderous campaign against Civilians and the British Armed Forces and the RUC that’s why it will always be Londonderry to me and many like myself.

I may be wrecked mate but they've imploded and we look like we just can't lose. It's coming home and I want them all to suffer

I work for a delivery company and some of the fuckers actually have free derry on their parcels address. That's where a line has to be drawn lol.

We only added the London to f*** with the Irish. There was no need for us to do that, it just makes them angrier.

I’d probably just call it Christchurch, I don’t care. I know nothing about the place other than the shooting. Is there a controversy?

I take it back you aren't at it, you are just ignorant of the facts

 

[giogaddi]

Hahahaha I actually forgot that Jimmy Ping existed. Just imagine the absolute agony that wee chode is feeling right now. Honestly, the thought of pondlife like him having to watch us win the title and lord it over them just makes it even sweeter. If we can't win it at the Piggery it would be brilliant to win it against them.

 

[Al-boy]

The walled city itself was built from money donated by livery companies from London's medieval guilds after the old settlement of Derry was destroyed in the 1608 burning of Derry. They were even slightly different locations.

 

[cradletograve]

When even Jim Spence is having a go then you know you are in bad shape.

Is he?
From that I'm interpreting he is just following the scum support narrative. You know, 'They've stolen our club', 'It's the work of Satan'. 'Fascist's on the board'. All that pish. As if it's all someone else's fault. He's a scum apologist after all. Now just pandering to the goon brigade.

Not a dig at you BM, just a different take on it.

 

[granda bob]

Think it’s more to do with the victimhood that Celtic were founded on,since 1888 they have attracted the cranks,weirdos,bigots and Protestant /Unionists haters to the cult like club they travel through their very alternate universe,filled with conspiracy and hate.
I know a few catholics,who don’t follow celtic and they are not like these people.
However I know a few guys who never went to catholic school,non catholic upbringing and non celtic families who are if anything more deranged than the classic “Celtic minded”.

The non lot have to try harder because they know they are not wanted.

Sorry mate but I can’t figure out what you mean.

 

[Derek1960]

Because it's a shibboleth.



Glasgow, of course.

Caution I was always taught

But on that theme:
Imagine a team being formed and called Celtic and was later called Selic, what would you call them?

If some of our brethren from across the sea could could confirm this I would be grateful.

The world famous Irish dirge 'Danny Boy' has words written and sung to an even older piece of music called 'The Londonderry Air'

Another question that will permeate the ages. When you have a decent head of hair, why shave it all off to accentuate a brow ridge that would be at home in the natural history museum. See; Scott Brown with hair. Tadger.

Also, grown men arguing on a scum mockery thread about the name of a town is an absolute riddy

Over the years I’ve seen many a Celtic top with reference to us. Gazza 8 All The Pies to the vile and disgusting Ha Ha 66! I’ve never once saw a Rangers top with any kind of reference to them on it. That’s the measure of them, wee man syndrome, absolutely nothing with us! Pathetic diddy club!
