I'M IBRAHIM TALL Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Does anyone know the significance of O'Neill always wearing the number 31 on his tracksuits. He did it all the time at Leicester and at Celtic and now at Villa. Whats the deal then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 It's because he's a little shop door front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTidy Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 My Celtic supporting mate says that when he was at Celtic he took Rafael Scheidt's training top because O'Neill said he would play himself before the Brazilian. I don't know what number Scheidt was and also that wouldn't make any sense with the Leicester connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Ingram Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Can remember exactly, but it is something to do with 31 being the reverse of 13... ie reversing bad luck or the opposite of bad luck, I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigolo-Aunt Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Know this will not go down well, but I dont mind O'Neill. The Celtic part of his career apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Caine Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Know this will not go down well, but I dont mind O'Neill. The Celtic part of his career apart. Well, I agree with you, GA. Fiercely loyal - that's why we hated him at the tattie bowl, but an intelligent and articulate guy who has a large streak of decency. Now - can I get a wee shot of that tin hat too, GA?

CostaJambo Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Know this will not go down well, but I dont mind O'Neill. The Celtic part of his career apart. As a manager I think he's a bit of an enigma in that he always talks more of a game than he delivers but I am all for someone taking a reputed quarter of a million quid out of their coffers after he's already left!

portobellojambo1 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Brian Clough did it. I think there is a connection with Brian Clough having done it. The other main theory put about is it possibly relates to his birthday, which is March 1 (3 1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help yourself, Luther. Always enjoy his interiews when he is on the box. Comes across as a decent bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say What Again Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Know this will not go down well, but I dont mind O'Neill. If it won't go down well, then surely it will only be with a minority of posters. I don't know many people who dislike MON - now that he's left ra Sellik. No tin hat needed IMO.

Even my Celtic supporting mates (am i allowed those??) let me hate him cos i always had when he was at Leicester. Something about him riles me. Met him once and he was a complete gent too! I just cant help but despise him!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
