To you Celtic Football Club, I say: Never!

Celtic supporters sung Irish "rebel" songs during the one minute's
Remembrance Day silence before the kick off of their game at Falkirk. Even
more Celtic fans waited outside the turnstiles so that they would not have
to take part in the commemoration. What an unspeakably foul club it is,
bigoted and filled with sectarian hatred. And yet the only Glasgow club
which ever gets punished for fuelling sectarian hatred is its rival,
Rangers. It is not so long ago that FIFA decided that Rangers supporters
were racist bigots for singing their fatuous, hate-filled tales about the
Battle of the Boyne etc, while Celtic's supporters were merely reveling in a
noble folk song tradition while singing their fatuous hate filled tales
about how good the IRA are.
Celtic wish to join the Premier League - ie the league of the historic
Bruddush uppressor. That's because they'd make a lot more money from
finishing fourteenth (at best) in the Premier League than finishing first or
second in Scotland. We should never let them do so. Let them have the
courage of their convictions and join the League of Ireland where, in their
exciting games against Sligo Rovers and Shelbourne, they will never be asked
to observe a minute's silence to commemorate those who fought against
totalitarianism. Incidentally, Celtic could only draw with the bottom club,
Falkirk. Mr De Valera, your bhoys are useless.
