Target Football Supporters Including us at Celtic  but Orange Order’s Ok ?????

At the end of a fairly historic week in Scottish politics the Scottish Government in their infinite wisdom have rushed through a bill to tackle “Scotland’s Problem” of “Sectarian, Religious and Race Hate” issues at football matches. The sanctions for which if people are found guilty of such “offences” within football stadiums or now indeed even in pubs watching matches means they can be issued with on the spot fines or arrested and after a judicial period could even  be given a jail sentance of up to five years. This has been greeted by the politicians involved as the way forward to rid Scotland of religious bigots and sectarianism at football matches and in society in general….

Now all of the above seems to people on the outside of our “Great Wee Country with One Nation For All”  as a government working hard to rid society of some “evils” that have gone on for century’s and most of these observers believe this to be a real step forward !!!!!!!!!

So with all this in mind let me now ask the Scottish Goverment and Local Authorities as to WHY? after such a historic week I am then today ”Subjected to an Orange Order Parade through Glasgow City Centre” . Yes it’s Saturday morning in Glasgow City Centre and we have around twenty orange order bands and thousands of followers maurading through our streets subjecting us to “Bigoted Abuse” by playing many “Anti-Catholic” tunes ??????……

It now seems as if this group have the right to march the streets of Scotland whenever they like and for whatever reason they like….If it’s a parade to celebrate the 12th of July then that is their annual celebration of the murder of many catholics which must surely now come under the new laws of Sectarian,Bigoted and Religious hate or abuse ?  If it is a parade to celebrate a royal birthday when again because of the “sovereign rights” it’s law that no catholic can be a part of the royal family once again surely that is now a Sectarian, Bigoted and Religious Predudice..????

Two questions here now….Firstly …Just who in the Scottish Government or Local Authorties are sanctioning these parades ?????…and Secondly…Will they now be banned as they’re both Sectarian, Bigoted and most certainly filled with Religious Hate against Catholics ??????

Don’t hold you breath on any answers from the authorities soon though as there’s not another election due for years and they can treat us with the usual contempt !!!!!!!!

The Bhoys Skelp Gers Again!!!!!!

Another Sunday afternoon in Paradise for The Faithful as Lenny’s Bhoys continued on from their performance at The Bigotdome in the Scottish Cup but this time went one better and gave the MankyMob an absolute hiding.

Pre-match talk amongst the Laptop Loyal and indeed us, The Faithful, was all about what formation The Hoops would start with and once again Celtic Manager Neil Lennon proved himself to be the tatical master whilst The Loyal Cardigan and Super Sally simply looked devoid of ideas.

Before the match Celtic Football Club paid tribute to young Blantyre Bhoy Reamonn Gormley by playing the Video Tribute of the children from The Good Child Foundation in Thailand singing I Just Can’t Get Enough which includes their own tribute to Reamonn by saying he will be looking down on us all from heaven.

Interestingly a line in the song the Thai Khids sing says “When we go to Ibrox there’s nothing there to fear” but today that was changed to Paradise as The Bhoys showed there is nothing to fear with a visit from The Govan Mob as we sent their Loyal Support Home Nice and Early !!!!!!!….

I am sure Reamonn would be looking down on Paradise today from his own seat in The Eternal Paradise with that Fabulous Smile of his that touched peoples hearts throughout the world…..God Bless You & Rest In Peace…
