Spurs a Protestant club

Well, the pope did pay us a visit once, and we all know what was said to those down west when they went to see him.

Grangetown was very Irish Catholic, and not that long ago, either.

As was Newtown, when Newtown was knocked down, lots were moved to Llanrumney & Pentrabane

seen a few Celtic / City 1/2 and 1/2 scarfs over the years

Many Cardiffians have Catholic heritage. There’s probably kids who, nowadays, go to non denominational schools have parents, grand or great grand parents who were brought up in the Catholic faith.

No place for religion in Sport.
You only have to see the bile and hatred it causes in Jockland.

[Tuerto]

Well, seeing as Catholic countries generally produce the best football players, I'll go with that.

Absolutely!

I'd go further and say that there's no (or little) place for religion in today'd world; it causes far too many conflicts.

More than happy to be a "Catholic" team rather then being lumped in with that lot on the right, jeepers

I don't think the image has any deeper meaning or insight into the history of Catholicism in Cardiff, I'm guessing some kid has seen the weird obsession elements of Swansea's support have with union jacks/loyalism and decided that we must be a bunch of Irish republicans

[G rangetown Blue]

Lots of Catholics in Cardiff….even had a “Catholic Club” in Grangetown…..once upon a time :(

This list has been compiled by someone whose only friend is a waanking sock.

Everton are Catholic? The club formed by a Methodist church.

Liverpool's founder was a member of the Orange Order

Liverpool's founder was a member of the Orange Order

I don't think that makes them a protestant club now.

The lad who compiled that list is clueless if he thinks religion has anything to do with football clubs in the UK apart from the Old Firm and clubs in Northern Ireland. Let's be fair, even Rangers (the club) are not the sectarian knobheads of yester year even if a fair amount of their supporters can be.

I agree, just pointing out the irony of calling them a "Catholic club"

[splott parker]

How can Newcastle be a proddy club with Pope in goals

Missed Liverpool being in the Catholic club gang. More sterling research from the lad. I suppose he's going on their version of Fields of Athenry and hatred of the Tories?

There’s more than a few on the hatred of the Tories ‘wagon’
