CELTIC'S COWARDLY SLEEKIT ATTACK ON RANGERS

 

CELTIC have launched a dastardly sneak attack on Rangers, accusing the Ibrox club of trying to make money out of St Andrewâ??s Day.

 

The sleekit attack is cowardly because, even though it has been made in the official Celtic weekly magazine, the Celtic View, it comes with the weasel worded and in this case ambiguously phrased disclaimer :�The views on this page are not NECESSARILY those of Celtic Football Club.

 

And they are snide because the writer, Celtic View editor, Paul Cuddihy, refused to name Rangers as the club he has in mind.

 

Cuddihy wrote that other clubs were using, what he called the flag of this important saint and his feast day, to generate interest in their forthcoming games.

 

This Celtic attack came in the Final Word column in the Celtic View which is the space where Tony Hamilton often spews his bile above that sly wee disclaimer, which isnâ??t really a disclaimer at all. After all, the views penned above it may actually be those held by chief executive Peter Lawwell and Celtic officially. The disclaimer does not deny this

 

The difference this time is the Final Word column was written by Celtic View editor Paul Cuddihy and he used that column to attack Rangers, rather than his own editorial column, which is signed and appears every week.

 

What has often intrigued me is how the official magazine of Celtic FC can be called the Celtic View and yet try to claim views published in it may not NECESSARILY be Celticâ??s views?

 

Somebody inside Parkhead with access to a keyboard obviously has some difficulty with the English language. Who? Well, we already know that the Celtic Viewâ??s regular Final Word columnist, digital director, Tony Hamilton, is confused by the difference between bated, as in breath, and baited as in a fishing hook.

 

What we also know is that, according to Celtic View editor Paul Cuddihy, Celtic do not think it fit and proper that a football club should publicise the celebrating of an important saintâ??s feast day, lest they be accused of trying to gain publicity for a forthcoming match.

 

Interesting!

 

Though what will be more interesting is when March 17th comes around next year. That will be St Patrickâ??s Day. He is the patron saint of Ireland and St Patrickâ??s Day falls on a Saturday this season. Celtic have a home match that day.

 

Will we then be treated to an even bigger and more embarrassing display if what Tom English so cleverly described as Paddywackery as Celtic, as they have done in the past, celebrate St Patrick's day?

 

And would any pre-publicity about a St Patrick's party be a money making excercise by Celtic?

 

Maybe Paul Cuddihy should have checked that out before he rushed into print with his cowardly attack on Rangers for the fact the Scottish Champions had the temerity to announce they intend to celebrate the feast of Scotlandâ??s St Andrew by handing out 3,000 Saltires, having a stirring Pipe Band lift the spirits with a blast of Scotland the Brave, plus the stirring skirl those defenders who held Pegasus Bridge on D Day heard when relief arrived, The Old Black Bear, sometimes known as the Tunes of Glory.

 

And why not? After all, Rangers are Scottish club.

 

Celtic had their chance to show just how Scottish they are when they played Atletico Madrid on St Andrewâ??s Day. The club chose to ignore the day. Chief executive Paul Lawwell, we must therefore assume, did not deem the occasion sufficiently in tune with his idea of what Celtic represents.

 

Not surprisingly, Celtic supporters, notably the extremist terrorist supporting zealots of the Green Brigade Lawwell is so keen on praising, took their musical lead from him and belted out the national anthem of a foreign country.

 

St Patrickâ??s Day?

 

I canâ??t wait. Then we will see if Celtic can add hypocrites to cowardly sleekit sneaks.

Not liking septic used to be a honourable pastime, now I'm getting sick of all the politics and tit-for-tat points scoring that comes with supporting football in this country and not being allowed to dislike anyone. As if????

can somebody explain to me what is wrong with expoiting St Andrew's day for commercial gain?

 

Not getting where C*ltic are coming from here, a pathetic attempt at point scoring is the only angle I see.

What the Mick View editor writes in his drivel publication's Final Word column shouldn't be of concern to anyone other than the muppets who buy it. Let them have their wee hate fest and sleekit digs in their smelly magazine and why would any Rangers fan really care what they write in it unless it's something really serious?

There is a concerted attack on Rangers. septic take care of the football side, whilst the catholic church like to appear as concerned sheperds for the catholics in Scotland, although, some of their comments about Scottish society are tantamount to declaring war.

 

What we need is more mainstream journos to start exposing this shite campaign, but as soon as you criticise them, your anti this, or anti that.

 

Their logic is skewed and if they keep going, there will be a civil war in Scotland, which is exactly what they want, IMO.

 

All that I want is Rangers as champions again, and again, and again.........

Shouldn't the bs coming from Celtic/the catholic church etc be offensive to our media and politicians?

 

When they attack us and say Scotland is a horrible bigotted wee country when all the information and statistics suggest otherwise why aren't our journo's commenting on this and defending Scotland and saying what a pile of steaming shite it is?

[Guest Dutchy]

Exactly!!!
