1711 - The green and the blue

They're all out to get at Neil Lennon
The manager of Celtic football team
He's been sent bullets and bombs, been jumped on
His club plays in shirts of hooped white and green
It's the mainstay of Glasgow's Catholic scene
Irish immigrant descendents its fans
But even recently there has still been
Conflict between them and the Protestants
Who support local rivals in Scotland's
Largest city - that's Rangers, who pull on
The dark blue shirt, and loyal to the Queen
Both sing songs of hatred inside their grounds
Instead of just concentrating upon
Football. Dangerous, not merely obscene

A version replacing the original one that was posted Thur 12 May
