InglewoodJack Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 The religious aspect of irish sectarianism is evaporating- it's always been a question of republicanism vs. unionists, but not all republicans are catholic, and not all unionists are protestant. Scotland, and especially Ireland's percentage of religious population is rapidly dropping- I believe Ireland has the fastest, or one of, growing atheist populations in the world. Politically though, pretty much all Celtic supporters I've come across in real life or online are left wing. I think that's great, but to the poster who recommended St. Pauli as an atheist club to follow, if what you are really trying to do is find an apolitical club, brother, wait until you hear about St. Pauli's fans. jhoops__ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I said it on this thread. Liverpool have a very close relationship with Celtic but it has nothing to do with religion. Football is the only religion, they say. For a number of the English that's true. Edited November 29, 2022 by WestHamCanadianinOxford InglewoodJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 So far, that’s about $10M in transfer money to Montreal this year, plus whatever they get for Kone, and there’s still a chance that Miller goes somewhere. Really hope they out that money to good use. sebdeserio, Xavier., Jack1997 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised that we let Karifa Yao go for this reason. I hope that Montreal gives Sean Rea a fair shot. If he can recreate what he’s done in the CPL with Montreal, he plays the exact type of game we’re sorely lacking. He’s only 20, and we’ve seen how Waterman has elevated his game at the MLS level, albeit at a much older age, so if he really gets going for club, I think he solves some of the issues that come with guys like Wotherspoon and Hoilett aging out.

Also, I'm fairly certain Nashville is entitled to a sell-on percentage as per the terms of the trade, and that would come out of Montreal's cut. Chicago might have a similar stipulation for Mihailovic. Still, a decent bit of business for a Montreal side that's going to look very different next season (including the coach).

I know Nashville had a 10% but on clause for AJ, and I think Chicago has the same rate for DM. Still, $9M + Kone’s fees is a nice little war chest. I also wonder what Montreal will do with Chinoso Offor- they got him from Chicago and immediately loaned him to a club in the Belgian first division where he’s getting a few starts and scored two goals in 9 games. Would be nice to have at Montreal, but if he’s ready to stay in Europe, we can probably get something for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Nancy is leaving to Columbuas, which seems likely, I don't blame anyone for wanting to jump off that sinking ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
