In a letter handed into the Day Late Ranger, Derek Seenoevil, secretary of the Huns Supporters Trust (see members partying above at recent Gers Pride festival), has written on behalf of trust chairman Malcolm Hearnoevil, who it seems cannot write his own letters as he is so upset at those big boys who call him names and remind him of a childhood without love or friendship, to Celtic to "intimate our concern regarding the current popular usage of the word Him' amongst Celtic fans". Seenoevil’s letter goes on to accuse Celtic of condoning the use of the word: "It has been most disappointing that this season the term appears to be gaining more popularity among Celtic supporters. Not only that, but it appears its use is being condoned by Celtic FC and the various authorities that police our game." Mr Hearnoevil offered no evidence, statistics, media or video to back up this assertion instead offering the claim that 'Big Kenny hears them aw the time like' Seenoevil then points out that Rangers have "worked very hard to remove sectarian terms from a small section of our fans" including the word "Them" and bravely once again attempts Unity among the Old Firm by looking to include Celtic whenever discussing his own clubs sectarian problems, regardless of the limited scope of his own representation. "To help us in our aims of eradicating this disease from our national sport' said the pro-England fan 'we feel it would obviously be extremely helpful if the same principles were applied to other clubs. Unfortunately, this season particularly, this doesn't appear to be the case." Amazingly no-one at the Day Late considered it funny a Rangers fan citing principles. He then goes on to site a number of occasions where the word "Him" was used at football grounds. At the most recent Old Firm game, on October 20, a conversation was heard at the Celtic end with the words "See that Wattie Smith - I Don’t like Him". Mr Hearnoevil claims this is beyond the acceptable pale of assault, actual physical harm and 100 years of institutionalised bigotry. Seenoevil writes: "While there may well be a fine line between banter (even offensive banter) and criminal behaviour, which of course are favourites of our own fans, we feel the use of the word "Him" falls into an even worse category with its unfriendly dry pronoun use and no it has nothing to do with the fact it also sounds like something sung in Chap, Chape, those places of worships for Celtic fans." The Huns Supporters Trust is now calling on Celtic FC investigate such 'patter' and "take appropriate action against the perpetrators," and for fans to remove the H-word from our lives. Although Seenoevil concedes that the word may not be literally sectarian, he says there is "a possibility Celtic fans could be thinking of it in such a context, even asleep, you know what those feenyins are like". Seenoevil then goes on to say Celtic supporters had been heard singing "Go Home, tae Him" towards Hearts fans, and that the same song was sung at Dundee fans in the CIS Cup which the eager for TV coverage Secretary claims could be inciting possible sexual abuse. He is also calling for the SPL and SFA in conjunction with Nelson Mandela, Oxfam, Hugh Heffner and Lulu to instruct match delegates to report songs with the word "Him" in them and for Strathclyde Police to arrest anyone who may have once thought of using the word, regardless if it was or was not in a sectarian context. Celtic confirmed they had received the letter, but would not comment publicly over the allegations. Celtic spokesman Tim Do-Good said: "We will only be making a private response once we find a sleeve wide enough to laugh up, and will make no further comment at this stage. We have nothing to say to Him" The letter from the Huns Supporters Trust was sent ahead of yesterday's Gers Pride conference at Ibrox, where fans discussed issues around sectarianism, racism and beggars. Please note the thought of a Gers Pride conference has no homosexual joke basis whatsoever although a Pink strip could be on sale soon if Mr Moonbeam sells out his remaining principle to tap into another possible Ayrshire market stream. |

over the course of the next while we'll be building up a section detailing Celtic Legends from the founding of our club onwards.
Contrary to the official Celtic poll of 2006 Celtic did have some legendary players pre-1996.
they're special. they mean something. some go a lifetime without them.
some crumble under the weight of them. gongs eh?
