| He's from Elgin, his name's
foreign and says he's not interested in football: those were the worrying set of issues
addressed by the Tuesday night regulars in Baird's over the appointment of Mario Conti as
archbishop of Glasgow. The towering intellectual power of the Tuesday night mob produced a
brilliantly focussed beam of incisive analysis on the central question of the hour: was
the new top man in the local Catholic hierarchy in fact a closet hun? "Let's face
it" one totally sane 'tic fan confided in the JT "In his first public statement,
the new archbishop stated that he wasn't interested in football. We all know what that
means." |
Later that evening, the combined
effect of eight pints of Tennents served only to further concentrate analytical minds: is
the new premier cleric a mason? The Celtic support has for long been convinced that the
masonic conspiracy extends into every aspect of Scottish life so it is perfectly sane and
rational to conclude that the new archbishop is definitely, probably, mibbies, a grand
master masquerading as a senior figure in the Church of Rome. Elsewhere on planet fiba'
this week, Rangers supremo David Murray put a positive spin on his club's draw with
minnows Berwick Rangers:"It just goes to prove what I've said along: playing English
based clubs makes for more interesting games." |
