Celtic In Sectarian Song Shocker

[Guest SHANKILL_LOYAL]

HOOPS TO INVESTIGATE SECTARIAN CLAIMS

Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell revealed he will be having private discussions with St Mirren after the Saints' PA announcer claimed the visiting fans had been singing sectarian songs in the first half of the Hoops' 3-1 Bank of Scotland Premier League victory at Love Street.

 

A Thomas Gravesen hat-trick gave the Hoops all three points with the Paisley side having only a John Sutton header to show for their efforts.

 

However, at the interval, with the visitors 2-0 ahead and cruising, the announcer, alluding to the songs and chants from the away support, urged the home fans to "please keep the good name of St Mirren intact by not responding to sectarian songs being sung".

 

Afterwards St Mirren chairman Stewart Gilmour distanced the Paisley club from the announcement but supported the message: "He did it off his own back but I have no problem with it.

 

"I'm just glad to say that it is not a problem with St Mirren fans."

 

Lawwell responded by issuing a statement: "This is the first time that this has happened and it was unauthorised by St Mirren or Strathclyde Police.

 

"Celtic will be taking the matter up privately with St Mirren."

 

On another controversial issue, Gilmour also explained the decision not to have a minute's silence for Remembrance Day before the game by saying: "Yesterday was the 11th and we were given no instruction from the SPL."

 

The game itself was more straightforward with Celtic deserving their win although St Mirren manager Gus MacPherson claimed the corner that led to Celtic's third goal via a Gravesen header should have been a goal kick.

 

He said: "It was an easy decision, it wasn't a corner yet it leads to a Celtic goal.

 

"By all accounts Gravesen's header was over the line from the corner but it wasn't a corner, it was a goal kick.

 

"We see that so often, when a corner or free-kick doesn't go your way, it leads to something.

 

"But we will look at the marking and that could have been better."

 

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan retorted: "I had no idea if it was a corner, I just let the referee make decisions.

 

"Kenny Miller got rugby-tackled in the box we just get on with it.

 

"We have had many decisions against us this season but we don't come out and cry about it."

 

Strachan admits he "had a quiet word" with goalkeeper Artur Boruc whose carelessness lead to a spell of panic in the Celtic rearguard in the second-half.

 

The Pole had to make a double save from Sutton and then Billy Mehmet after he had crashed a clearance off Sutton but the incident led to a spell of pressure which ended with the Saints pulling a goal back.

 

The Celtic boss said: "I had a quiet word, nothing dramatic.

 

"Artur changed the mood of the game. We didn't want to let them get into it but when the ball went back to Artur - it wasn't very good.

 

"It woke the crowd up, re-energised St Mirren and from that they got more free-kicks and with the number of big guys they have got, it's going to be a problem."

This will spin themselves dizzy with their "political" versus "sectarian" PR spin doctors.

I will start the sweep and say that this will be the fault of St Mirren and their employee by say....midday Tuesday? Any other offers?

There is a simple formula normally used for these types of occassions.

Where x (normal human being) + y(Rememberance Sunday) = z (Dignified two minute silence)

Secondary formula can sometimes occur which leads to z (Dignified two minute silence) being disrupted and that is the introduction of group t (the undignified anti-British hatefilled maggots who follow that team)

Therefore it follows that T + Y will never = Z because T does not = X !!

singing songs about killing ******s = sectarian

 

singing songs about ******s killing = political

You couldny make this stuff up.

 

T.G.F.I.T.W. sing sectarian songs and their leader is to have quiet words with St Mirren directors.
