Killie let him go to early or just found his level?

From what I saw of him, he's found his level.

Who knows though, he was with Birmingham City until 2 years ago so they must've seen something in him.

On yourself Azzuri Very Happy

I grew up in a Scots-catholtic household, my brothers a season ticket holder at Parkhead and my mum's into the hoops as well but I fell in with my dad who grew up half a stones throw from Maryhill and even though I grew up outside Dundee - I went to Dundee United & Dundee games but never felt any passion until the Jaggy Thistle came up or was down at my grans,
In england I quite like Fulham but wouldn't say I'm a fan

The attitude Parkie has towards Azzuri following Killie is shocking, not everyone from 100miles or so outside Glasgow wants to follow either one of the bigoted brothers and since your champion of all things Irish - I thought you might support the real "Irish" side in Scotland - Hibernian FC. Celtic stole their hoops, players and designated a catholic only policy.

Saying that I quite like Celtic to do well in Europe and I'd prefer them to win the SPL over the manky mob at Castle Greyskull.

i have been lurking here for ages but i happened upon this yesterday, quite interesting and adds to the debate i hope. i'm sure it was not until the late 90's that celtic had a non-catholic on the board as well.

so, the catholic board at celtic were not secterian cos they employed jock stein, fair enough, you seem like a broadminded chap and i'm sure you will have the same view of rangers who have had catholics in their employment since their inception.

old firm bigots, so stupid and blinkered and so easy to defeat thier twisted logic.

"so if a football club is totally dominated by one religion, for decades and decades it is called nepitism."

But Celtic were not dominated by one religion as you suggest. The board was populated by two families in Ireland, the Grants and Colgans and two in Glasgow Whites and Colgans, with the Glasgow families having direct links to the Irish families.

Stein wasnt appointed to the board, but neither was McNeill or anyone else. As Parkie says, the families were reluctant to let anyone else in. Those families happened to be catholic, provbably stemming from Celtics roots in the Irish catholic communitiers in the east end.

Manchester United were formed from a similiar community and didnt have a non-catholic manager until Dave Sexton. Does that mean they were anti-protestant or does it just mean that they had many catholic ex players who made good managers, stemming from their history and that appeal to irish catholic players.

Celtics first game had five or possibly six protestants in the team.

BTW I support Celtic, Cumnock Juniors, Crystal Palace, Liverpool, Queen of the South, in that order.

that is the same twisted logic that allows rangers and celtic fans to justify what they are, gnarled, pompous and narrow minded bigots.

one celtic fan says it is nepetism another agrees and justifies the bigotry. how long before a fucked up rangers fan comes on and says the same thing about his team.

the old firm, scotlands not so secret shame.

I support Killie and have done since the early 80's.

Obviously though, I'm a dirty orange b****rd that can't afford the bus/train fare to Ibrox (according the nice inclusive non threatening Celtic fans)

Judging somebody on the football team they decide to follow is something school kids do.

Anyway, I though most tims were green on the outside and red, white and blue unionists on the inside?
