Be interesting to see how a United Ireland would impact some regions in Spain in the very distant future
Our Celtic cousins
Welcome any time lads.
Captain here:
For those who don’t know, the Basque region (país vasco) is a separatist region. For years they have performed bomb attacks in Spain through their paramilitary front, called ETA.
They have recently stopped these attacks that have lasted over 70 years.
They speak a different language (euskara), they have their own culture, and they often do not consider themselves Spanish. (Much like Cataluña)
The Irish flags are displayed as a gesture of solidarity and cultural identity with Ireland, as they were fighting to be independent. Reportedly they also have ties to Celtic FC.
Some lovely heads in Bilbao, great place to visit too.
Athletic have long been my favourite club on the continent. They have a fascinating history and of course they uphold a Cantera policy to this day, maintaining success despite an extremely limited pool of players. I would love to get to the city sometime, and get to the San Mames for a game.
