The Sun 19/5/08
The below letter was sent in by a Celtic supporter to journalist Bill Leckie at the Scottish Sun. Surely a contender for comedy letter of the year. Please don't blame the schools though.
"How dare you compare celtic fans to the Rangers yobs who shamed Scottish football in Manchester. Celtic fans are peaceful have an exemplary reputation across Europe and are welcomed in every city in the world. If I ever see you in the street I will punch fu*k out you!”

CELTIC FANS RETAIN VIOLENCE RECORD
Despite Greater Manchester Police's official figures of between 250 and 265 thousand Rangers fans travelling to Manchester for the UEFA Cup Final from all over the world, Celtic fans have managed to cling on to their record of 42 arrests in England at a football match.
In 2003 a measly 7'000 of their fans arrived in Blackburn for a match in the UEFA cup. Although so little of "The Greatest Fans in World" had made the short journey, hundreds of their fans clashed with police as they attempted to charge turnstiles without care for the women and children in close proximity resulting in forty two being detailed by Lancashire police.
With Manchester police already admitting to errors in judgement it really does make the trouble witnessed there pale into insignificance when you study both figures.
FYI: Eighty Celtic fans were arrested in Glasgow City Centre on the evening of their UEFA Cup Final in 2003 with many more arrested (for in particular theft) in Seville. Official figures for these arrests were never released but we're working on bringing them to you. The truth is out there.

CELTIC TRUST IN SICK RANT
The Celtic Trust (Pro-IRA and anti Scottish/British if you read previous posts) are set add more shame to the Celtic fans' by attempting to complain about rival fans asking "why they wont go home". They have managed to put together yet another truly sickening statement, this time comparing the song to the HOLOCAUST!
statement as follows
"The Celtic Trust intends to report the racist chants of the Rangers fans in which they advised us all to 'go home' now the 'famine' is over to the organisation Show Racism the Red Card. The continued treatment of 'An Gorta Mór' (the Great Hunger) as a matter for jokes and offensive songs is increasingly being found among Rangers fans and elsewhere. It should not be tolerated and should be condemned as racist and unacceptable."
