Moonhowlers at it again
ruining the minutes silence last nighthttps://www.scotsman.com/sport/footb...ilence-3435284 BIGGEST LETDOWN The Green Brigade never surprise. Pleasantly. Yet, even for them - or those who attach themselves to this ultra group - the denigration of the minute’s silence to Walter Smith felt like a new low. I was about to make my way along from the far end of the Hibs main stand, and so was in position to look down and across to the visiting support when the mark of respect to an immense figure and great man began. The loud “boo” and the “**** off” that immediately followed the silence beginning came undoubtedly from just behind the Green Brigade banner. As did the bird whistling which punctured it. Celtic’s away support isn’t dragged to the gutter by just one faction, though. That was demonstrated by most of the away end singing Roaming In The Gloaming, with its “**** King Billy and John Knox”...Knox, the head of a church of course. Similarly, with chants of Orange Bastards - Orange shorthand for Protestant in the same way it is understood the use of Fenian in the west of Scotland means Irish Catholic. Let no pious Celtic supporters claim sectarianism is entirely one-sided. |
