Attempted murder?
No this is not a story from Libya or Afghanistan.
Nor is it a storyline for a new film coming out.
Neither is it a wives tale told in the pub by a lonely old drunken soul.
THIS IS REALITY AND PLAIN PURE STUPIDITY.
This (for some of us) is on our own doorstep, where our children play, our dogs are walked and good times spent.
This harsh reality has become very stupid and beyond the realms of some un-realistic video games, it seems surreal that it is all happening. The basis of it is that it all boils down to football.
Two sets of tribes one on either side of the fence with one side now taking it to far right extremes to get one over on the other.
In light of gers manager in waiting Ally McCoist mouthing his opinion about a clampdown on thugs shouting sectarian abuse at matches his initial contradictory comments now must seem lightweight as he has now been overshadowed by possibly one of his own thugist fans and their unending stupidity.
The stupidity = a parcel bomb sent to Neil Lennon which if opened could have had fatal consequences – This is beyond a step too far.
The Strathclyde Police released this statement: –
“We believe we are dealing with someone who is Scotland-based and it wouldn’t take Miss Marple to suggest that there’s every chance someone from a Loyalist background is involved.”
The police also said the packages sent where designed to “maim or kill.”
This is very official that this was ‘ATTEMPTED MURDER’ of whoever received these packages.
One main news channel website, one owned by Murdoch, said this: –
Police are hunting a nail bomber who has sent several potentially lethal devices to prominent people connected to the Celtic football club.
I doubt very much you will see this tactic in Ally and Waltys pre-match tactical report for the old firm derby. Has it realistically come to this, I cannot keep pinching myself anymore. This all happening in the run up to an old firm match is sheer insanity, these animals with so much hatred that they can do these animalistic things will deserve what they get when they are caught.
I cannot imagine what runs through these vile person/s heads when they do these things. I can only think that they must imagine this is a correct tactical advantage to take to an old firm match, where as I say it just seems to add more petrol on the Celtic fire to give us mass amounts more intent to stuff the gers in the next encounter.
These person/s have not only embarrassed themselves but they have made all the fingers point to rangers, and in light of sectarianism being brought to the forefront by footballs European governing bodies, these animals have just made it a whole hell of a lot harder for the gers and their ‘stain’ – like problems that will now not wash out for an eternity.
I leave you with this to ponder, remember the last time a gers associate, staff, player or other received bullets or bombs in the post? I cannot!
“Now can we talk about football, cos Im getting tired of all this terrorist sh!t.”
