Home sick. Was born in Camlachie in 1948. Have lived abroad for years but, when home, loved all the pubs mentioned, especially the Emerald Isle run by James.
We where in Glasgow a few years ago and on the way to Barrowlands we stopped for a few pints along the way , the wife dragged me into the roughest looking pub iv ever been in (all i remember is that it had a sign saying "Welcome to the Republic") as ya walk in , as soon as they heard our English accents they all stared at us and i was ready to do a quick U Turn, we got served and sat with some serious looking hard cases, then in my moment of need the wife says "Oh its ok hes a Catholic its me thats the Proddy Dog" i thought FFS ya dozy twat we are gonna get killed , then they replied "We dont give a fuck , if youre ok with us we,re ok with you" we ended up having one of the best nights of our lives , great people :)
As a boy born and bred in Bain St.In the Calton and as a alterboy at St.Alphonus. CELTIC was NOT Started for only the IRISH Catholics in the East end. The East end had very many Catholic highlanders and lowlanders (my people) looking for work.ALSO it had a very sizable Jewish community. We children used to go to the free Jewish cinema an old upstairs room on London Rd. To watch Charlie Chapin etc. Every 2nd bakers in the Calton and the Gorbals was Jewish.All the Jews where in fact enthusiastic Celtic fans. CELTIC was started to feed ANY hungry child.The MOST important FACT Is that CELTIC was founded for ALL the poor of the East End. That's why they where not called GLASGOW HIBERNIAN..But where Called CELTIC.. A NAME FOR SCOTSMAN AND IRISHMEN TO FOLLOW. With intense pride.Ps We were taught at school the correct pronunciation of the CELTIC PEOPLE'S ITS SELTIC A SOFT C NOT A HARD C.We don't Say the writing's of kicero we say Sisero (CICERO). We also don't say... HAIL KAISAR ..We say HAIL CEASAR (BIG BILLY). I now spend most of my time in SPAIN where I Support CELTA VIGO. I Feel that many NON IRISH families who where present at the founding meetings of this great club are ignored and just pushed aside ..CELTIC were founded by the immortal BROTHER WALFRID for the entire Catholic peoples of the East End. SCOTSMAN AND IRISHMEN.
@@nelvaldo.4850 There has for a very long time been a harmony between Leeds Utd and Celtic; Bremner, Gray and Jordan were all Celtic fans and, of course, Big Jock even managed Leeds all but briefly. The 1970 EC semifinal was a momentous occasion for both clubs and was, though intense, played with mutual respect between both sets of players and fans. The Yorkshire indomitable spirit and stand alone nature of LUFC resonates with Celtic. Also, as you yourself signify, there is a sizeable Catholic community in Leeds, though, as the previous poster correctly points out, Celtic has always been open to everyone through its founding virtue of Caritas and not just an Irish Catholic focus or attraction. For more example, the Italian, Polish and Lithuanian communities in Scotland have also closely identified with the club. All are welcomed at Celtic Park providing they too are welcoming of others. Best wishes to you and LUFC. Hail Hail.
@@vincentmcnabb939 Cheers Vincent, that was a nice reply, celtic have always been special to me and obviously my beloved leeds united,unfortunately at my club alot of the fans (not all) are big brexit,catholic, anti Irish hating arsoles !!!!!

In the early 70s I lived in Brighton they added no long hairs or hippies to the No list. Great football pubs history thanks and respect. I remember going to an Everton pub in Bootle in the late 60s where they had a framed Dixie shirt
I remember going into a pub called the crest on the gallowgate used to get off yhe train at bellgrove from drumchapel and headed to the crest a celtic pub

The no Irish , Blacks or Dogs sign is a myth - it was a mock up poster to promote an Irish cultural event in London - easily researched but still used to promote a political agenda
The famous photograph of a sign saying "No blacks, no Irish, no dogs" was in fact fabricated by an art student for an exhibition in London circa 1965. If you look at the photo briefly (just Google the phrase to see it) it's obvious that the words have been crudely drawn on the negative after the image was taken. The whole claim that landlords used to display such signs rests purely on that one single photo - there are no other photos of any similar signs, and no contemporary accounts from anyone claiming to have seen such a thing in the UK at any point in the 20th century. As a young man from Ireland I worked in London on construction sites in the 1970's . I remember asking older Irish guys, who had been in England since the 1950's. about these "No Blacks No Irish "signs . Not one of them ever saw such a sign or knew of anyone who saw those signs.
@@deslatt1172 I was a lad in south London in the 60's. I never saw that, either. However, we had a Japanese American lodger (who's husband was dodging the draft). She saw an ad for a lodger in the newsagent saying 'No prams' and she was worried that it might mean 'No asians'. Instant reassurance was forthcoming, of course!
Rubbish there is a photo of Irish genuis actor and legend Richard Harris with his hand bandaged up after putting his fist through the window of a B and B in England when he first arrived in England in the 1950s with that sign on the window , that crap was started during the 2nd World War with all the black American G.I's stationed in England and Northern Ireland and women from the West Indies in Britain filling in as telephonists, Post Office positions typical of people like you trying to airbrush the past with its "fake" it never happened we embrace everyone tinted rose glass views
The No Irish No blacks sign was a sign from a English village for one you to be lucky to see a black person back then we were sectarian racist anti-catholic.
Remind me which toxic fans pissed all over the statues in George Square in 2021, broke all the rules about social distancing during a global pandemic, fought running battles with the police, assaulted members of the emergency services, trashed the city centre and left behind a trail of debris and broken bottles for someone else to clean up. And this was a celebration to mark their first ever SPL title.

I seen a sign in a London boarding house window in 2004, No Irish.
