I watched the Celtic v Dundee United game last night on BBC Scotland. It was only the League Cup but it was one of the most exciting games I've watched in a long time. The game itself was scoreless after extra time and Celtic won by the remarkable score of 11-10 on penalties.
The post match interview contained the usual cliche typically enlivened by the Celtic manager:
Chic Young : No team deserved to lose tonight did they?Gordon Strachan : Agreed. Especially no us.
The game started on BBC1 but then had to switch to BBC2 to accommodate the English News. Then, during penalties, we were kicked off BBC2 to accommodate Newsnight. And, to make matters worse, on both occasions they didn't get the timing right so there was a period of about 30 seconds when the game was on neither channel. Many things can happen on football in 30 seconds. Especially during a penalty shootout!
My point is this. When unionism starts to impact my enjoyment of watching the famous Glasgow Celtic ... it's gone too fucking far!

And you chose not to watch it on Setanta because...?
mainly because they'd refer to the opposition as "Dundee" throughout the game.
