What kind of country are we living in?

Postby Joe O'Rourke » Tue Feb 28, 2012 2:19 pm

[COLOR=#000000:4eed16b7]If you believe King Alex Salmond and most of the other politicians in Scotland they would have you believe that the only place you will find anti-Irish/Catholic/Celtic attitudes would be in the West of Scotland; and mostly in and around Glasgow. Well have a look at the video below from Youtube; this isn’t a bunch of Rangers supporters, but a mob from Motherwell; it’s absolutely astonishing.[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCDDjTMQ5uI&context=C3ae40aaADOEgsToPDskKV9xxunfOV140j2XkE7i06"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCDDjTMQ5uI&context=C3ae40aaADOEgsToPDskKV9xxunfOV140j2XkE7i06[/URL:4eed16b7][COLOR=#000000:4eed16b7]As a Celtic supporter I have received abuse in every town and city I have visited while on duty following my team; some I would admit are worse than others; and while I accept there is a natural dislike to the team and supporters who are regularly winning leagues and cups; some of the stuff we get is of a particularly nasty racist/sectarian nature.[COLOR=#000000:4eed16b7]The treatment hurled at Neil Lennon and Aiden Mc Geady would have resulted in arrests if the same abuse had been hurled at a black player; but it would appear it’s alright to abuse Irish players in this one Scotland many cultures of ours.[COLOR=#000000:4eed16b7]Below is another good article from the European Examiner in a similar vein; please have a read; you won’t regret it.[COLOR=#000000:4eed16b7][URL:4eed16b7]http://www.europeanexaminer.eu/index.php/2-uncategorised/49-jock-tamsons-ill-fitting-bunnett-the-snps-failure-understanding-irish-scots-catholics[/URL:4eed16b7]

The Celtic Supporters Association

The Celtic Supporters Association was the idea of Willie Fanning whose dream became a reality back in September 1944.

These were dark days on and off the pitch with the Second World War still raging and in comparison to those horrors rather more trivialy Celtic were not providing much joy to its supporters and defeat was a regular experience. Indeed the idea of a supporters association came to 27-year-old Willie while watching the Bhoys get thrashed 6-2 at Hamilton.

Willie decided to write to the Daily Record calling on fellow Celtic fans interested in establishing a supporters club to get in touch. A total of 14 people replied. Consequently a meeting was arranged at St Mark's and St Paul's Hall, Chester Street in Shettleston. The meeting proved to be a success - a provisional committee was installed and Willie was elected as President.

By the time of the second meeting at the A.O.H. Hall in Alexandria Parade in Townhead the word had spread. The hall was packed and car loads of supporters from across Glasgow and beyond eager to attend created a traffic jam along the parade.

A constitution was drawn up which allowed the new organosation to become an amalgamation of supporters clubs. Within 12 months membership had rocketed to 700 and the association had won the official endorsement of Celtic FC who handed over the responsibility of distributing match tickets to affiliated branches of the CSA.

The CSA remains a strong and influential body. Apart from following Celtic in massive numbers it has a social club in Glasgow and its annual Supporters Rally is a highlight in the Celtic calendar.

True to the traditions of Celtic FC the CSA also has a proud and continued ethos of raising funds for charity.
