Arent just. So lucky to be celtic supporters the best thing my father gave me for which iam so gratful for thank you dalove yaHAIL HAIL FROM DUBLIN CELTS
When Celtic were founded at St Marys the Irish were treated the way modern cross channel migrants are treated now. So we kept to our own by necessity, and as we spread into the city top place like the Gorbals, which until recently had a very high catholic majority - when i moved there from opposite St Marys in the Calton - (behind the St Marys school football pitch - 574 1/2 A Gallowgate was our address) - this tells u how small the flats were - there were 5 catholic primary schools and one Protestant) - this was by design. Even as far along as the early 80s catholics would not be hired in some industries. There are families in glasgow who have had relatives murdered in Northern Ireland and other families who lost family members of the army to the actions of the ira. Glasgow pubs were targeted by the UDA in the late seventies, including a pub owned by derry traynor, which was attacked early one Saturday evening in the late seventies - we heard the blast while watcing Doctor Who at my grannys in Camden Street Gorbals. People ask why there is so much mistrust and hostility - its because we have lived it and breathed it all our lives. The football club was a way for us to join together, to show them that we are just as good as any of them, and in Brother Walfrids case, to feed families who had fallen into unimaginable poverty and who had nowhere else to turn.
You celebrate, then have to wait 3mins to see if it stands.
