Populism is not our strong suit and support of the surveillance techniques representative of a police state is not something to which we would normally wish to add our association.
But tonight is different...
Last year on May 14th, 50,000 Rangers fans descended on the one true universal city that is Manchester.
They left within the day with the club having allegedly ###########################
####################################################################### and the fans having left behind a sea of wreckage and vomit and destruction and vomit and criminal damage and vomit and a trail of actual and grievous bodily harm and more vomit.
They treated little homes with scorn...
Fortunately I was abroad at the time but Mancunian 'Gers fans were embarrassed by the display.

So, by way of redress, lets finish off on the state of Celtic.
I would gladly support a Crimewatch Iraq War Spectacular too.
