Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately for the DR, there were only 8,000 at the match, so things could have been a lot worse. No doubt there were many at the game that were interested in watching it, but there seemed to be a large contingent that was only in attendance to indulge in a hate-fest. The police were out in force, which meant that things were not as bad as they could have been.
The big problem, as far as the Bisto Kids on McMurdo's blog are concerned, is that their mob seem to be being blamed for the whole thing. The fact is, however, that the Union of Bears were the ones smashing up seats and setting off fireworks. Apparently they had organised to meet up to cause trouble at Bridgeton, but the police were ready for them. They were escorted all the way to Celtic Park and a sinister bunch they looked, all dressed in black with their faces hidden with scarves.
I've read a few posts on blogs from Bisto supporters that couldn't get peace to watch the game for all these wee neds jumping about all over the place. Maybe that's why the pictures in the papers mostly show Bisto Kids causing bother: because they were the ones doing it!
McMurdo desperately tries to blame the Green Brigade, while he and his followers are spunking over a picture of a Celtic supporter, wearing a ski mask and holding a flare. This picture was posted on the blog last night and, to their minds, is worse than any vandalism and hooliganism by the Bisto Kids. They've e-mailed the papers, demanding to know why this picture wasn't published and accusing the press of bias. One newspaper did publish it: The Sun, no doubt sent it last night by some fair-minded member of The Peeppul. There's only one problem with the picture: it was actually taken FIVE YEARS AGO! It shows just how desperate they are.
Considering how skint Bisto FC is at the moment, will they be able to afford the bill for all those broken seats? Mind you, they'd probably welcome it. It appears that if they go into administration after Saturday then that will count as being in the closed season and mean that they start their campaign in the Championship with a 25-point deduction. (That'll teach them to pretend to be 'the same team'!) No doubt the bill from Celtic would be cited as forcing them into administration, which means that they can all go on blaming Peter Lawwell for everything. Maybe last night's destruction was a deliberate ploy!
According to the DR, the Bisto Kids were singing their songs of hate from the word go, although a Celtic fan started it by letting off a smoke bomb! Strangely, these smoke bombs are let off at matches throughout the world without comment and are considered harmless. "But they kin trigger asthma attacks" screams one Bisto Kid. Well, only certain kinds can do that. I remember after that game at Motherwell, where Celtic fans let off smoke bombs and broke seats, one guy contacted the Daily Record phone-in to say that he was a regular at Fir Park, with his grandson, and the Celtic smoke bombs triggered the wee mite's asthma. Strangely, though, Motherwell fans had been letting off smoke bombs for weeks and this guy never phoned in to complain. It seems that only green smoke triggers asthma attacks!
Honest Dave, meanwhile had the sheer brass neck to demand that the police be sent into Ibrox! This from a convicted criminal; they've no shame at all, these Peeppul! He sets out a list of points he wants addressed, which, essentially, amount to a pile of shite. He's not in South Africa now, so he'd better watch; unless he wants to wake up with a cuddy's heid on his pillow!
And the board itself lurches from crisis to crisis. Phil Mac has revealed that HMRC are back at Ibrox, looking into Bisto FC's accounts. This might possibly have something to so with the multiple contracts Phil was hinting at on Twitter. Don't tell me they're at it again! Sooperally, meanwhile, manages to keep a straight face while saying that his players are not to blame for all the money disappearing. He also says that he's 'intrigued' about where all the money went. Have a look at your own bank balance, Sooper, and that'll give you some idea!
"Ah'm pyoor intrigued, so Ah um, 'n 'at, by the way. Where did aw the money go? That's what Ah waant tae know. Ah mean, 67 million quid, 'n 'at. That's a loata money, so it is! It makes ye wunner what's been gauin' oan 'n 'at. What's that? Ma salary? Naw, Ah'm jist here tae talk fitba' 'n 'at."
