you keped that quiet!

Hardly. No-one has ever asked me.

I've followed the fortunes of Celtic ever since I worked with a Hoops fan in Bosnia.

Funny. According to the history of Scottish football, the football club was formed by "a Marist Brother who trundled the damp and bleak cobbled streets of the East End of Glasgow wracking his brain to come up with a way to raise money for the poor and needy of the area". Sounds a decent CONCEPT to me ...

And your point is ... ?

Just that I suppose from CS J's point of view that in the past Catholics and other christian faiths don't mix?

In the past, Greeks and Romans didn't get on too famously either but I think they're buried the metaphorical hatchet now.

Not Sure what you're getting at TB.

I was just trying to establish why CS J thought it wrong for the Russian chap to be sporting a Celtic top

Because people like CS J are somewhat misguided ...

Bet he only came on here for a quick chat too. Didn't expect his religious background to come in to it....

Exactly WHY is that a reason for someone like Sergey (and me) NOT to support Celtic?!! Is it that bigoted view that Catholics are bad people and everyone else is the best?!!

Not sure but maybe this is a candidate to be moved to the pub or somewhere more appropriate as it's deviating somewhat from the 'Southend United' theme.

(Although, it is quite interesting)

Unfortunately there are still a minority who still subscribe to that "no surrender" bo11ocks and have the cheek to castigate everyone else who even dares to follow someone like Celtic (or even Ireland in the rugby, as we had in a thread earlier).

Sad. Very depressing indeed ...
