Pardon me but what the hell would YOU know about Celtic pride.?? In one
sentence you state that 
"Even though I wasn't a Celtic fan in the 80s and I didn't know all that much
>about basketball at the time, you still realise what Celtic Pride is. This
is so contradictory.  How on earth could you relate to Celtic pride?? You
never experienced winning a championship, never mind not even attending a
single game. You live thousands of miles away from the heart of Celtic
pride. Those of us who have followed the Celtic's all their lives know what
Celtic pride is all about. I found your post to be insulting and you really
can tend to be a loose cannon. Don't lump me in with fans that don't have
Celtic pride.
