In all honesty, if we all lived our lives abiding by every piece of legislation in place then none of us would be able to move as the prison we'd be in would be crammed full. Solicitors, barristers etc, use the law to let off murdereres/ rapists/ thugs etc. everyday of the week. It is a price we pay for living in a democratic society,

For society to sit back and 'just accept' the aording of a law is wrong if we know in our hearts that it is plainly wrong. Why the IRA/UDA have to be mentioned at any civilised gathering is beyond the comprehension of the majority of us - we don't want to hear it!

For the majority on here, I feel that the approach I have adopted is pure and true 'common sense'. It saddens me that you can't accept the blatantly obvious sectarian nature of singing about the IRA. No place for it - end of story. Those who sing it embarrass Celtic FC. In fact, they cause deep offence and hatred from others even outwith Scottish football. Sadly, again, that seems to be their intent.

      On a lighter note, Mad Vlad has put Hearts up for sale and is quitting football.

      Bad news for Hearts but he was always the wrong fit for them and just seems to have accumulated debts.

      Not sure what that means. I have made clear my distaste of IRA singing.

      Heard an advert on the radio last night for a Thanksgiven celebration bash at Ibrox. That will be the great US republic, that nation that rebelled against the crown and killed British soldiers ;)

      You seem to be confusing Thanksgiving and the American Revolution.

      What has Thanksgiving got to do with rebelling against the crown? :confused:

      It does remind me though that we had an Empire on which the sun never set. :cool:

      Just pointing out that Thanksgiven is a celebration in a country that rebelled against the crown, fought against the British army and became a republic.

      A meeting between the Celtic Supporters Association and Campbell Corrigan that was arranged by the CSA to discuss their concerns about the Hibs game and the policing of the FAC Protest in George Square has been cancelled after Corrigan's comments to the DR.

      That'll show him. Should be renamed the Constructive Supporters Association.

      I think they've taken offence to Corrigan claiming he'll lay down a marker at the meetings.

      That's not exactly saying that he'll listen to their concerns.


      BTW just so everyone is crystal clear - Gareth Barry SCORED for England on Tuesday night - it's 'fishal now. :p

      Couldn't have a jonny foreigner score Englands 2000th goal.

      Corrigan should have offered to meet the Celtic fans reps without doing so through the DR instead of looking the big man in the press.

      What now for Hearts anyway? Will a new buyer step in?
