"No matter how things change, they remarkably stay the same.
The recent events in the East of Glasgow has shown this to be the case. The whining, the wailing and the gnashing of wooden teeth have given us an insight to what life must have been like in those bygone days of yore.
Throughout our nations proud history we have stood up for our values and tried to instill a firm belief in right rather than wrong and stick by a work ethic that has seen our people succeed throughout the centuries.
Many years ago, some hungry immigrants were welcomed to this country. Given shelter and food. Looked after and given a chance of a new, better life. Did they take it? No. Did they try to integrate? No. They shunned their hosts, they stole from them, fought with them, and refused to recognise the hospitality that they had been shown. The feelings for these people quickly disintegrated and the only option, after numerous 'second' chances and benefits of doubt, was to shun these ungratefull degenerates.
100 years later, the same thing happened again.
Famine.
Immigration.
Ungratefullness.
Now, in present times, we see the descendants of these immigrants still bleating about oppression and hardship.
Complaining to anyone that will listen. Failing, yet again to recognise their own shortcomings.
Celtic were founded out of this self portrayed sectarian oppression.
The catholic church preyed on the feeling of hardship and victimisation that was felt within the immigrant catholic community. They saw the hatred for the crown, and realised the potential to satisfy their churches love of the half-crown.
Money was invested to lure most of Edinburghs Hibernian football team over to the city of Glasgow, and Celtic and their sectarian soup kitchens were born. Soup kitchens setup by Celtic, only served the hungry if they denounced their religion and kissed the papal ring.
This union of church and football thrived on their victimisation status and promoted these feelings at every level of society.
Fast forward to the recent events involving this club.
Post war their record shows that nothing can shame them, no crime, no matter how heinous can bring a blush to their cheeks.
They were born out of sectarianism and brought this to our country, and still to this day, the prey on the victim mentality that is encouraged throughout their community.
Even the former captain and manager was wheeled out last season to proclaim to the doubters that the SFA had been involved in a conspiracy against them for 50 years.
Poor us, they cry.
Always cheated, never defeated.
