I belong to a Celtic supporters club...
As a Hearts fan, I'll forgive you for that! :mrgreen:
Seriously, one of my good friends in Edinburgh is a Hibs supporter, and another one of my "Auld Reekie" friends who now resides in St. Louis supports Hearts, whilst his son supports the Hibs -- we have a lot of fun wi' that! :mrgreen:
Apologies for OT post, couldn't resist!
Up the Jambos!
Cheers, 
Todd

"In Scotland & Ireland the term BHOYS is particulary linked with Roman Catholisism, football (esp Celtic) and general religious sectarianism. It is not a term normally used in 'polite' society generally, due to it's nasty connotations."
Nonsense!! Bhoys is in general use all the time, the Daily record uses it to on a regular basis Im a Massive Celtic fan and Ive never been offended by it.
Sectarianism is "Scotlands shame" but lets not get too worked up about it, there are terrible Sectartian songs sang at Old firm matches but hey sticks and stones
recently the government, with an appaling lack of insight suggested that offenders on community service wear Orange overalls!!
As a Celtic fan Id be more offended by the phrase "you lost the league!!!"
