Evening, I came in to ask if you've heard any news down there about Aiden McGeady moving to St James, there's some piss poor journalism surrounding this rumor and wondered what your take on it was, do you even want Aiden at St James etc.
But let me clear up the issues in this post. It's a very, very small minority of fans called the Green Brigade, mostly kids with silly ideas and some of the older 'csc' who should really have grown up by now but haven't. They have one eye on the pitch and another eye on every move our - to be fair - disgraceful rivals across the city make. Their issues are entirely surrounding the wearing of the poppy on the players shirts on Saturday, nothing else. I do not support them and neither do the majority and more importantly neither do the club. However, I can see their point, that Politics has no place in football.
As usual it's only the actions of the minority that hit the headlines, no mention of the 58,000 people who stayed behind to watch the game, no mention - down south that I can see anyway - of the fact that these imbeciles were drowned out by the minutes applause. There has been a great deal of debate between us Celtic fans all week regarding this and on Saturday many of us felt uneasy about the whole affair. All I would ask is that nobody jumps on a bandwagon of believing all Celtic fans are neanderthal terrorists, we're actually doing a hell of a lot to move forward, while our rivals struggle to grasp the simplest orders to stop singing sectarian, racist and hate filled 'songs'.
