Quoting limited to 3 levels deepthose who introduce themselves by their twitter handle in real life.
KDS did that in about 2005.
always leading, never following. I actually recall going to the first ever KDS meet up and having to approach a table of complete strangers saying "hello, I'm fatboab" Fortunately it was the right table. I think I may have been at that table. Took a while to admit to being Murphio.

think this might have been an even earlier get together in McHuills. I recall Fudgie and Clydebank Bhoy and possibly BBB amongst others. We had a few beers and went for an "all you can eat " Chinese, where Clydebank Bhoy actually ate more than his bodyweight in food. Those were innocent times.

Have we mentioned the recent upsurge in the amount of people wearing "fake" tops. Now I don't mean a set of hoops that you picked up for €10 in Santa Ponsa that's meant to look like the real thing but has the badge on the wrong side and is the wrong shade of green. I'm talking about the proliferation of absolutely hideous looking tops that may have the badge, sponsor and even the SPFL badges but then have a picture of Broony or Brendan Rodgers along with a few quotes. Absolutely awful things and I'm not sure what type of person looks at one of them and thinks it looks good. There's an equally dreadful range of Irish Republican ones knocking about too. Had a quick look for some examples - these are far from the worst but best I could find in a few mins searching.... Example 1 Example 2 you got any of number 2 left in large? will look good at games with ma celtic kilt and green 'n' white shutter shades

Time to ditch the 'Celtic is a club open to all' get-out clause.
It was easy for Brother Walfrid to say when he didn't have to deal with Celtic Da's, Johnny Mac & The Faithful, Griffiths fanboys, Sevco blogging, misplaced outrage after being unable to read a Sky Sports tweet, 'wits the goalie dain' memes, 'sign James McClean' activists, ITKs and pseudo political intellects.

Just thought of another strange group on twitter. Those who really should acknowledge themselves as sellic das but knock about with the sellic weans on twitter. It's quite cute that they spend most of their time sniping at other Celtic fans despite attending Celtic Park once every 5 years.

The amount of duplicate emails sent from the club, especially when they're plugging Gin or Golf gear.

You know that there are alleged Tims cutting about who have a PIN other than 1888 or 1967? Embarrassing.
1916 for this uber Tim.
PIN's are 1916. However, petrol is £18.88 or 19.67 and always at pump 7 if available. Passwords are lisboa67, jimcraigsatit, gemmell63, chalmers84. Finger through any hun 'celebration' cakes and used to hide 'Rangers News' behind 'Women's Own' at the newsagents. If the round was £16.90 then "Oh and a dash of lime, please." Bless yourself on entry to Celtic Park and at kick-off. It's the wee things in life that are important. Brilliant.
Only green toothbrush too and definitely don’t use aqua fresh.

Online Celtic Factions 2018:
Sellick Da (the Middle England of the Celtic support. 99% Gammon) Sexxxy Ghirls (Substituting difficult relationship with real dad for difficult relationship with online Sellick Das) Young Team (Buckfast; flares) Un Corp de Celtique (flat white-drinking jessies, disapprove of New Balance deal) Curtain Twitchers (90% content is hun related; see also Mickileaks) The Demented (General headcases)
Baws. I have myself in Pot 4. Pot 4 for myself also although flat white is so last year. It's all about the cortado.
I do have my very own Celtic Da though whose whole wardrobe is proudly green, loves those fake printed tops and sharing terrible photoshops . We just let him get on with it.

Read all the way through this and disappointed that I only appear to qualify as a sellick da and someone with special insight into spotting a player. If only I couldn't spell.

Don’t forget the Sellick Granda’s who can’t pronounce foreign player’s names
“That Chi is a rare player” “The French boy”
“Ntcham?”
“Aye, him” Neet-chum.
