l'escardot Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Earlier this afternoon, the Via Catalana, a human chain from one end of the country to the other. ...passes Camp Nou but by not also passing RCD Espanyol's stadium has put out their president Joan Collet.

l'escardot Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) CATALUNYA MES QUE EN CLUB Surely that is the point Joan Collet was making. Visca the students of Barcelona University our founders Visca RCDE PUTTA MERCHANT TAYLORS PUBLIC SCHOOL FP ( or Barca as the like to be known) Visca the memory of FC ESCOCIA ( a Scottish team playing in the Catalan League) who Barcelona FC had thrown out of the league as they were too much of a threat. Barca the Old Firm of Catalunya For an Old Firm you need two arse cheeks. You're wanting it both ways - supporting one cheek while dissing the other. (Thankfully there is no Old Firm in Catalunya, unfortunately for us here only Scotland has that toxic blend). Barça's overbearing dominance in Catalunya is the issue. Forget Barça and Royal Sports Club Espanyol - as a Jags fan you should really be supporting UE Sant Andreu (Saint Andrews). They play in Red'n'Yella (stripes), black shorts, and are doing their best to claim the mantle of FC Escocès (Scots FC) indeed a team of Scots from the Coats factory in their neighbourhood of Barcelona. They have a whole page on it on their web site with a picture from 1900 (FC Escocès lasted only 9 months in 1900 BTW) It's in Català but if you browse it using Google Chrome it'll offer to translate into a kind of English.

Jordanhill Jag Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Surely that is the point Joan Collet was making. Im aware that's the point Joan Collect is making that's why I repeated it. For an Old Firm you need two arse cheeks. You're wanting it both ways - supporting one cheek while dissing the other. (Thankfully there is no Old Firm in Catalunya, unfortunately for us here only Scotland has that toxic blend). Barça's overbearing dominance in Catalunya is the issue. Barca are in effect Rangers and Celtic rolled into one exact same issues support from media ,politicians use nationalist politics to promote themselves etc etc Forget Barça and Royal Sports Club Espanyol - as a Jags fan you should really be supporting UE Sant Andreu (Saint Andrews)._ I support Espanyol have done for 17 years and have a Season ticket, as well as being a founder member of the Scottish Penya - Im well aware of FC Escoces History and links to Sant Andreu as I have a friend he lives there and used to be there Marketing Director ,but as I said Im an Espanyol Supporter. They play in Red'n'Yella (stripes), black shorts, and are doing their best to claim the mantle of FC Escocès (Scots FC) indeed a team of Scots from the Coats factory in their neighbourhood of Barcelona. They have a whole page on it on their web site with a picture from 1900 (FC Escocès lasted only 9 months in 1900 BTW) I will be taking in some UE Sant Andreu games over the next 12 months as we are looking to strengthen our grassroots links with Catalan Football building on the signing of Simon Colina currently our scouting network is further North in Girona province. It's in Català but if you browse it using Google Chrome it'll offer to translate into a kind of English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
