Surely there's a difference in wearing your rival's colour on your boots or something that (according to many sellik fans) has nothing to do with them?

The "gold" thing is a marvelously cunning piece of denial and bigotry. The orange is representative of the protestant members of the Irish population. The ones that Celtic fans think don't exist.

Not really. It is a fact that the Irish flag was chosen with very specific colours to represent different aspects. One of those colours was orange. Not gold.

Hoots Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 ....I was watching Gordon Ramsay USA last night and he crossed himself before tackling a particularly minging dish. Fairly sure that's not what the 'Orange' half of Glasgow would expect from a former player...... Mind you who cares, it's always fun when they get upset about these things.

Guest Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 They're a bunch of half-wit inbred morons. Remember they got their knickers in a twist when they were being sponsored by Peoples (the car folk) and their logo had some orange in it. If Hearts had someone who scored goals for fun he could do so whilst wearing green boots, a turban, grass skirt and singing a Proclaimers song.

hawaii Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Man Utd fans can breath a sigh of relief then. Ronaldo wears the same boots, so Celtic fans won't want him playing for their club Samaras will be on a pretty penny from Nike to wear those boots.

Hereward Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 If I was a manager, My players would wear black boots only. Coloured boots get on my nerves. I blame Calum Elliot. Agreed, I think the crayon-coloured boots are an open declaration of being an arrogant ponce, like the skunk-dyed barnets. You'd better be able to back up wearing poofter boots with some fairly spectacular play. Cristiano Ronaldo is a tosser but he can play some. Samaras? Calum? Get some proper boots on, son.
