Of Bhoys and Men - Put the gun down, Il Diavolo
By: Cham | February 12th, 2007
In today’s Daily Record, it is reported that Scotland’s own and defender extrodinare Stephen McManus fears his own dad, along with the countless Celtic faithful, will be robbed the opportunity to see our Bhoys play in the biggest game of McManus’ life to date.
With all the shenanigans that accompanies Italian soccer - most notable and recent, the raucous and riotous nonsense that ensued following the Sicilian derby of Catania and Palermo - it’s no wonder many are on edge to find out where the away leg of Celtic v Milan will be played.
Now, most publications are stating that Milan will host Celtic and a crowd full in San Siro, but the columnists in the UK, including Barry Broadfoot - The Herald’s chief football writer - think the situation in Sicily should have no bearing on the Celtic’s Champions League draw, especially a most punitive one.
“Scotland’s vested interest in the punishment meted out by whichever authority claims jurisdiction has dominated the football agenda for the past week. Why Celtic and AC Milan, Scotland and the Azzurri, should be punished for an incident in Sicily underlines incompetence levels from Rome to Geneva.”
Put the gun down, Il Diavolo. Dad just wants to see his son play in the hoops - shiny black and green hoops. Don’t we all.
We are held hostage Celtic. This is the Celtic Offside Report.
