CELITC FANS' CHIEF O'ROURKE'S "DROWN PROTESTANTS" RANT PUTS LAWWELL ON THE SPOT - Exclusive

 

THE leader of the OFFICIAL Celtic Supporters Association, Joe Oâ??Rourke, is a hate filled bigot who wants to see Protestants drowned.

 

And that is OFFICIAL.

 

Though you would not know that if you relied on BBC Scotlandâ??s Reporting Scotland flagship programme for your news. For last night it concentrated on the fact the weather is cold and the two pandas in Edinburgh Zoo are about to mate.

 

There was not even the hint of a mention of the man at the head of the OFFICIAL Celtic Supporters Association being a hate filled bigot.

 

Perhaps that was not surprising, as the man in charge of Reporting Scotland is Diarmid Oâ??Hara, who is believed to be a rabid Celtic supporter. It is not known if he is a member of the OFFICIAL Celtic Supporters Association, which Joe Oâ??Rourke is the general secretary of.

 

But Oâ??Hara and his news team can hardly have missed Oâ??Rourke being exposed as a hate filled sectarian bigot. For the story was splashed across the front page of the Irish Sunday World, a mass circulation newspaper which sells on both sides of the Irish border, and is also freely available at supermarkets and newsagents in Scotland and England too.

 

And to show how close bigot Oâ??Rourke is to Celtic Football Club, the Sunday World published a picture of him showing off the Scottish Cup, bedecked with green and white ribbons.

 

Now it remains to be seen if Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell urges the OFFICIAL Celtic Supporters Association to boot out bigot Oâ??Rourke.

 

Oâ??Rourkeâ??s vile hatred of Protestants was exposed by the Sunday World after the Celtic fansâ?? chief ranted on Twitter that he wished all the Protestants who helped build the Titanic had sailed on the tragic liner.

 

This month is the 100th anniversary of the Belfast built Titanic sinking after it struck an iceberg.

 

To make matters worse for Scots born Oâ??Rourke, he is an ex shipyard worker. And even worseâ?¦he was a union activist and shop steward representing all union members, regardless of their religion.

 

But now those members who he represented, who are Protestants, know that Joe Oâ??Rourke hated them and wished them dead.

 

In fact the 36 engineers who perished when the Titanic sank, are commemorated by a memorial plaque in the former headquarters of the Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Scotland in Glasgowâ??s Bath Street, now the home of Scottish Opera, an event which will be remembered at a ceremony there, organised by the Institution, which will be held in the building a week on Saturday.

 

Joe Oâ??Rourke, the bigot who heads the OFFICIAL Celtic Supporters Association, who worked in the shipyards and was a trade union activist, has not been invited.

 

However, Oâ??Rourke, as the leader of the OFFICIAL Celtic Supporters Association, has privileged access to the Parkhead boardroom and has met Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell on numerous occasions.

 

That puts Lawwell on the spot and he must now make it clear that he will REFUSE to conduct any further meetings with the sectarian bigot Joe Oâ??Rourke, or find himself in facing allegations of guilt through association.

 

And the OFFICIAL Celtic Supporters Association must also move quickly to kick Oâ??Rourke out and make a firm public statement that Oâ??Rourkeâ??s hate filled sectarian comments about Protestants do not represent the views of their other Celtic supporting members.

 

For if bigot Joe Oâ??Rourke remains as the leader of the OFFICIAL Celtic Supporters Association, then its members will be seen as condoning his views and backing Oâ??Rourkeâ??s hatred of Protestants.

 

Oâ??Rourke could also face a more serious problem, in the shape of Strathclyde police, who may be on the look out for a high profile offender to charge under the new anti-sectarian laws rushed through by Alex Salmondâ??s Scottish National Partyâ??s Scottish Government.

 

Given the way the police have moved quickly to clamp down on other offenders against the new law, it would look strange if they did not haul Joe Oâ??Rourke, the general secretary of the OFFICIAL Celtic Supporters Association, in for questioning. To start with.

 

Maybe at that stage the man in charge of BBC Scotlandâ??s Reporting Scotland, Diarmid Oâ??Hara, will be forced to use the story. Though Iâ??m not betting on it.

AND........

 

 

TWO reactions to Paul Murray's deal with Ticketus which will slash £17M OFF Rangers debt to Ticketus if the True Blue Knights win control of Rangers.

 

One, from someone close to he True Blue Knights, was, "a stunning deal." The less erudite, but perhaps more expressive was from another pal, who exclaimed, "F*****g magic."

 

In fact, so incredible, so absolutely clever, astute and hard working has Paul Murray been to pull off this deal that the leader of the True Blue Knights has earned himself a new nickname....

 

PAUL MERLIN!
