Arsenal v Celtic

I watched the game last night, some of it at me Brothers and some of it at my Dads then back to my Brothers to see Arsenal end the game victorious. Before the game started, when the players where in the tunnel the Celtic supporters sung their hearts out to their club anthem 'You'll never walk alone.'

Danny looks at me and says "that's an Irish song isn't it?" Must be, says I. The last time either of us had heard the song was at our Grandads funeral a few weeks ago.

Danny "But they're a Scottish club"
The screen shows a sea of green, white and gold flags
Jade "well they've got some strong connections with Ireland by the looks of things"
Danny "maybe it's something to do with religion, would they be the protestants or the catholics?"
Both - "Catholic"

So thanks Grandad, you've taught me something about football and sparked an interest in history. My own history. Our own history.

I know that they have 'orange marches' or 'orange men' in both Scotland and Ireland but I don't really know what it means. It's something to do with fighting between Catholics and Protestants, but I don't know who's orange or what they're marching for. But I'll find out.
