Gregory Campbell is a clown

[Boolerhead Mel]

Don't know if this has been posted on other thread-but can you believe the below-the article in full is on BBC Website-he also stated that Rangers had taken steps to resolve the sectarian songs and chants of their own fans-the man is a walking Anus.


Northern Ireland's sports minister has said he is unlikely to accept an invite to visit Celtic Football Club.

He wrote to the the club's chairman and former NI secretary John Reid to complain after IRA songs were sung by fans at a game.

The ardent Rangers fan had been invited to Parkhead after he and his wife were subjected to sectarian abuse on a ferry crossing to Scotland.

Mr Campbell was writing in his capacity as an MP and not sports minister.

Earlier this week, the Irish government raised concerns about sectarian chants by Rangers fans at an Old Firm game.

The East Londonderry MP said he felt Rangers had taken steps since the game to tackle the issue, but demanded more action by Celtic.

He added that he believed visiting Parkhead at present would send out the wrong message.

"If I were to take up the visit now, it may be totally counterproductive given what I have been informed of in recent times," he said.

Mr Campbell said although he was not planning to visit Parkhead, the IRA chants meant any future visit was now less likely.

"It's probably made things a bit worse," he said.

But he insisted he was not "setting preconditions" to visit the football club, but added more action should be taken against the small number of fans involved in the chanting of IRA songs.

I wonder if he's heard anyone chant IRA at Parkhead? (Edited to say that obviously he hasn't as he's never been there but you know...)

Anyone who does gets booted out swift, and as such no-one has since such bootings took place.
