To Hugh Keevins

Hugh Keevins by BigBananaFeet

The “article” written by Hugh Keevins which appeared in the Record online a couple of weeks ago was the most ridiculous and biased piece of journalism I have read in quite a while, and there are many constant contenders.

Keevins in his article uses expressions like vigilantes and stroppy to refer to Celtic supporters. He claims that they want the Board to take the SFA to task for not putting Rangers out of business and out of existence. We all know that Rangers did go out of existence so the crux of Keevins’ point is irrelevant. He totally misses the point that Celtic fans are not asking for a mob rule but an investigation into rule breaking that has a negative effect on all of Scottish football.

However the irony of his demented ramblings (not ours), which is obviously lost on Mr Keevins, is that he says the democratic process means nothing to these dissident shareholders and they would lob a grenade (a very disturbing allegory) into the boardroom and create anarchy. Mr Keevins fails to realize this is in fact a democratic process. We are going to vote whether or not we ask the Board to make a case to the SFA regarding the Association’s rule breaking. This, Mr Keevins, is indeed a serious issue for many football fans and does not make the person who holds that view either demented or a dissident.

However, the shareholders who do hold this view have spoken to other likeminded shareholders and in full respect for democracy have asked for it to be voted on at the next AGM. I can safely say that if it gets voted down the people that brought the point will respect the democratic process and will not strop, lob hand grenades or whatever nonsense Mr Keevins thinks might happen. I don’t believe Celtic fans will send bullets in the post to the board nor send homemade explosive devices to the shareholders who disagree with them. 

Keevins fails to recognize that in a democracy you can have disagreements with others but to ridicule those who have a different opinion to you is anti democratic. Those who have raised the point are not dissidents (with the negative overtones that word alone brings) neither are they demented nor stroppy. They are not vigilantes and they are certainly not anarchists because quite simply they are expressing an idea and using the democratic process to see if there are enough other like minded shareholders to take action on something they feel strongly about.

Maybe it is the democratic process that annoys Mr Keevins and how Celtic and the Celtic supporters show people like him what it is to be truly democratic and fair.

For the record I voted against this point, but I respect the opinion of those who voted for it.

Bigbananafeet. A democrat first.

Editors PS: This below amazingly actually happened..

Keevins very transparent “schtick” is to find the negative point of view in anything at all to do with Celtic, and like a spoiled child, he craves a reaction.

When you realise that he’s a completely irrelevance, and he’s really just a crabby old plonker who knows his shelf life is long gone (and he’s desperately trying to prolong it!) you’ll treat his feeble-minded ramblings with the contempt they truly deserve.

Mr Keevins, you are a sad old fart, just blowin in the wind.

Ed007 @ celtic rumours is an idiot also, a typical internet bully. Don’t agree with him, what he does is writes cheeky remarks, and then won’t post your comments to him, utter mutt of a person

Hey frank, ok mate! No hes(Ed007@c.rumours) is a typical d/head, always thinks he correct on everything, and if anyone disagrees with him, he tries to be a wee smart ass and deletes any replies aimed at him. Hence internet bully, who knows jack. He really is a wee mutt and needs to get himself a life or a boyfriend/girlfriend probs the first one, little creep sitting in his wee personal space giving it this and that. Cheerio frank

Got to agree with BB88 re: ED007 @ cfc rumours. He is a little mutt, up his own ass, if its not his way its the highway. Forever speaking down to people behind his little computer in his little house in hamilton.. Oh and how much he goes on about his wee sore leg. Grow up ED007 and get a life.

It’s just a pity that he is given any “publicity” at all….
Ideally he would be totally ignored..and left to wither on his bitter vine.
However articles like this are needed to remind us of just who our enemies are…
This man is a bitter and twisted apology of a journalist…
Keep up the good work.

Really i have no idea why any Celtic fan would read the daily record in the first place? The magazine only allows people like keevins ink space is to provoke and rile in an effort top generate paper sales …we should stop buying it simple then old bigots like keevins will be out of work

I stopped buying the daily ranger a few years ago and will never buy it again. Keevins talks a lot of crap and should be barred from Paradise for good.
