true story

[gisabeer 409]

was in the pub last sunday talking to a celtic supporting mate of mine when a guy we didnt know came up to us ranting and raving about celtic and generally running down rangers.

 

My mate (who is quite religous and a dye in the wool celtic fan) pointed out that i was in fact one of the "huns he was insulting" but our chum took little heed of his words and continued his rant, pulled up his jumper and revealed a three in a row t shirt and a crucifix.

 

I leant over to him and told him that if he was half the christian he made himself out to be then he wouldnt be making such statements to which he replied:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"IM NOT A CHRISTIAN, IM A CATHOLIC!"

 

 

I was actually in the company of three celtic supporters at the time this guy said this and the look on thier faces was a real picture but they left him in no doubt of what they thought of him.

 

He left the pub very suddenly.:fish:

It's nice to be broad minded and inclusive but it's better still to stay clear of these cults.

 

I've never had a celtic supporting friend. I've had celtic supporting acquaintances, colleagues and even family - but never a friend.

Just as a matter of interest MF, if you are interviewing future employee's does Rangers\Celtic enter the equation. Not asking to scowl at you as i think i would be swayed to pick a Rangers fan,but only if both applicants were exactly equal in Job skill. I understand if you don't\can't answer.

There is a video on you tube, a stop in the street interview with a sell tick supporter who declares that as he didnt go to chapel much, he was more roman than catholic.

Sorry Pete, only just saw your post.

 

I don't make knowing a applicant's allegiance an issue when assessing candidates and I'd probably prefer not to know. It's not a moral stance just a practical one. I actually like to keep football matters out of the workplace if possible. One of my directors is a staunch celtic man but we leave the issue alone - he's an exceptionally effective board member and that's what matters to me in a business context. I also like his company and he's a very decent sort but away from work we don't socialise and I couldn't really consider him a friend.

 

As I'm sure you know only too well, friends and business colleagues are usually kept in different camps. I've only ever seen it otherwise in an expat situation.

I work overseas offshore and I am the same,I think I always just avoid the issue as deep down you know they don't like you and you just put up with them, vice versa,for the sake of work

Thanks for your honest answer. I was just interested to know.

Not knowing would be the best bet but I think someone saying they went to St Thomas Aquinas or St Mungo;s might be a wee hint.

Totally agree the best man should get the job no matter what.

Call me cynical, but is this not how these scum are getting into positions of authority/influence?
