Why are the Celtic fans called tims?

The hun one I think I get, some German connection I guess?

The 'tims' come from Tim Malloy and there are various conflicting explanations for it. One being that it was used as a generic name for Irish immigrants in the early 1900's in the same way as all WW2 germans were called 'Fritz' and British soldiers were all called 'Tommy'. Also seen claimed that Tim Malloy was a well known Irish Republican but I don't know and don't really care if it's true.

The hun one is, as you say, from the Rangers connection to Britian and the protestant (German) monarchy, but I'm sure Shaunbhoy and Incog will be along to correct me on both, seeing as how I'm a 'mutton molester'

LOL. Scotland don't play in world cups so we can't remember :-)

Celtic fans (tims) usually gravitate towards RoI and Rangers fans (huns) support england.

Us unbiased neutrals hate both sides of the rangers/celtic brigade equally.

Shame on football

Scotland is not a football club.

If mindless thugs are incapable of developing an IQ greater than my shoe size I suggest their mum's don't let them out the house.

BBC News - Celtic manager Neil Lennon hit by fan

Truly shocking, yet not entirely surprising.
Cue the media going heavy on stories along the lines of "Well he does bring a lot of it on himself!"

It's a game of football, I may not like the guy, but he should be allowed to go about his everyday life safe and sound.

At the end of the day it's been a better challenge for the champions this season with the wee ginger ned at the helm, I'd be sad to see him go.

He does bring on "some" of the trouble on his self, but by no means should his life ever be in dangers due to football.

(And I say that as a Queen loving, Fenian hating Rangers fan)
