The Moment That The West’s Problem Met The East (Hearts Mask Slips Edition)

Ok, lets get this over with.

Was last night the ‘Year Zero‘ moment? The moment that the SFA, R*ngers, Government and the media final admit that years of sweeping things under the carpet, then doing the shake and vac to make sure that no-one knows of The Best Little Country In The Worlds Shame.

I’m not going to go over what has happened this season. Loads of you will be able to explain the gory details better than me.

There is an unofficial backroom team who make this blog possible. They see the snippets of stuff, point me in the right direction and generally shape the debate. They very rarely are seen and they definitely don’t post. One texted me after the incident. It read: “Get the team off the f*cking park”

I disagreed at the time. But today I wish we had taken that action.

I’ve listened and read opinions that while they say they don’t condone what happened to Lennon they follow it up with: “aye, he brings it on himself though” or “he deserved it though.”. Mrs LoTW told me a story about a fair minded work colleague who told another to “zip it” after their description of Lennon was one of: “a trackie wearing ned who walks about a dugout swigging from a bottle of Irn Bru“.

It’s laughable and shows you the situation is unreversible. The perpetrators are in denial. They think they are doing nothing wrong as they haven’t or weren’t told at the beginning they were doing something wrong.

Celtic should have walked off. Celtic should refuse to play until the people in charge of the game say they will tackle the problem. The problem is not just R*ngers. Hearts are rabid – I’m for one glad the mask slipped last night – and others who call themselves Family Clubs (sic) peddle in the hatrid also.

If we are reported to UEFA, then so be it. They’ve already decided that the Scottish game is rancid. The more they see one club and culture being attacked the more this backs up their view. Evidence points to it’s not safe for us to play in Scotland. Let UEFA finds us a new home.

Would that be England? I don’t think so. Our songbook last night shouldn’t be heard in a football ground and Celtic should really be grabbing this ‘up the ra‘ brigade and telling them they are not wanted. Every English Over 40 Stone Island Brigade would be lining up to have a pop.

So, where do we go? The Outer Moldavian Ring Road Second Division (Sponsored By Borats Lentil And Rice Bar) sounds more attractive than the SPL at the moment.

But I’m all for trying to force a move are you?
