I'm going to have to get this right once and for all. Orange is Proddie and the football club is Rangers. Green is Catholic and the football club is Celtic. Is this correct?

And what were the Black and Tans? Catholic? And why were they black and tan? The Orangemen (I know it's to do with William of Orange, somewhere) are the chaps who march, and the B&Ts presumably the ones who countermarch? And why is there a 'marching season', like a Flat season? Does the going have any effect on them?

Is all this still taken very seriously by the majority of Scottish and Irish people, or just small, hateful, enclaves?
