How long are rags like the Daily Record and The Sun going to be allowed to get away with their anti-Irish views. This so-called 'journalist' wouldn't be allowed to get away with it if he was refering to a player who was Polish or from India etc but because the player has decided to play for the Republic of Ireland he gets a free reign to critisise him and make outragous statements. The same happened with James McCarthy and Aiden Mcgeady and will continue to happen in these newspapers.

According to McKie this is "a new and sinister development happening all too often'' when in reality it is player who just wants to play where his past family are from - whats the crime in that?, and the SFA wern't interested in him until he choose to player for R.O.I.

Got to agree ED, blatant racism, The last line ridiculing Irish culture really nails his 'colours' to the mast!

Nothing about these particular rags surprises me anymore lads!!!

I stopped buying both of them quite some time ago - especially the Sun.

The Daily Record needs no explanation either. I have nothing but contempt for both rags!!! :bad:

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.
