byrne and rte again regurgitating and leading with issues pertaining to the shinners while Lebanon burns genocide is ongoing in gaza and scoliosis has destroyed the lives of our young people who were told by harris in 2017 that no child would wait longer than 4 months for treatment. rte is a rancid biased defunct empty vessel.

This along with the naked sectarianism on display by the rangers PLAYERS singing anti Catholic bile is designed to frighten and dissuade Eddie Howe or any other high profile manager to accept the vacant Job at Celtic FC... This needs to be highlighted by the media and investigated fully...
