Whereas Tottenham being from NE London do have a Jewish connection.

Then there is West Ham, with their scabby eastend thugs and their loveable mates Millwall just south of the river in Bermondsey, without doubt one of the arse ends of London.

No respectable Londoner supports West Ham or Millwall.

Jackie Carey

Kevin Moran
Paul McGrath
Norman Whiteside
Roy Keane
Denis Irwin
Frank Stapleton

And Ulster Protestants have every claim to Irishness if they see fit.Many key Irish nationalists were Protestant, such as Wolfe Tone, Isaac Butt, CS Parnell, WB Yeats and Douglas Hyde.

Whether he is a Protestant or a Catholic, that should actually be quite irrelevant....we are in 2010!!! and I find it amazing, that people feel that this crap is still important!

Do you have any Catholic friends?

I know that was a rhetorical question..........but you never know.

goodfoot seems to have issues that goes beyond football.
Ironically, Best was the only protestant in the 1968 European Cup winning team.
United themselves started out as a catholic run football club in the days they were known as Newton Heath.
The Irish connection doesn't begin and end with football, but is ingrained in Manchester history.
The links with Ireland run through not just the history of the club, but through the history of the city too. http://www.prideofmanchester.com/mancirish/history1.htm

You posted a badge with sectarian overtures and it wasn't the first time you've made references to religious and political divides in football. Both of which have no place in the game.
