He's a tit, he really, really is...

Loathe as I am to comment on this, I am finally fed up with this old firm shite that’s been flying around.
The SFA announced today that Bob Malcolm will be hauled in for making a gesture after we won a penalty last Saturday, on top of indulging Martin O’Neil’s pathetic and hypocritical claims of “racist and sectarian abuse” being directed at Neil Lennon.
No action is to be taken against Lennon of course, for spitting on a Rangers scarf and gesturing to the home supporters, or O’Neil for calling everyone who follows Rangers racist bigots. Or whoever it was who assaulted Peter Lovenkrands in the tunnel at half time.
O’Neil also remarked that Peter Lovenkrands should have a look at himself for diving to get Alan Thompson sent off, an interesting comment when you consider that’s not the line he took when his best bud Neil Lennon did the exact same thing to get Juanjo sent off earlier in the season.
Perplexed as I am that the authorities seem to want to indulge this hypocritical and childish conduct, it does please me in one way.
O’Neil commented after last nights draw with Barcelona that he “takes flack every day”. This is plainly not the case. O’Neil has been uniformly praised for his achievements with Celtic, for the most part quite rightly.
But on Saturday he watched his side throw away their dignity and quickly followed suit himself.
Celtic will be hard pushed to retain their championship this year. Without Larsson, I doubt they have the quality and it has become obvious they don’t have the bottle. It has also become clear that O’Neil himself, once touted to take over from Sir Alex at Manchester United barely has the balls to do the second biggest job in Scotland.
What doesn’t please me though is O’Neil calling me a racist bigot. That’s not funny and not appreciated by me or any other Rangers fan and he should be encouraged to shut his daft face and to remind himself that as Celtic manager, he has quite a stake in the bigotry business himself.
