Dog Day Afternoons
The papers reported the other day that a young Celtic fan has pled guilty to committing sectarian abuse on the internet - following a crackdown by police.
Good - because as the new football season gets underway - a few well publicised convictions are exactly what's needed.
So that other idiots who are inclined to behave this way - get the message.
Apparently, Michael Bailey (20) from Glasgow - posted sectarian comments about Rangers and made a racist comment about the club's Senegalese player - El Hadji Diouf - in March this year.
Bailey's bail conditions require him not to enter any SPL ground or Hampden Stadium - and he must sign in at his local police station - during the first half of every Celtic match.
No doubt he's very sorry for acting like such a moron.
But having his freedom taken away every Saturday afternoon - and being deprived of football for a period - might just persuade Bailey and others like him to control themselves in future.
