Thread Name: BS: Foreign-Farce Football
Subject: RE: BS: Foreign-Farce Football
Quality of football maybe, quality of intelligence questionable. At the weekend David Healy MBE Fulham and Northern Ireland pretended to play a flute in front of the travelling Celtic fans during a pre-season match. Healy is a life long Rangers fan and the gesture was done to antagonise Celtic supporters as this is the high of the Sectarian Orange Order marching season in the North of Ireland.


The football authorities have made efforts to stamp out this type of behaviour.

Sectarian bigot Healy was handed an MBE by in the Queen's birthday honours earlier this year for 'services to football and the community in Northern Ireland'. Well we now see why she gave it !


I see The Daily Record reported that anti-sectarianism charity Nil By Mouth are calling for swift action against Healy. Citing the Battle of the Boyne anniversary Orange victory over Catholic King James as the basis of the exchange with fans clearly showed were Healy stands on the subject.
