Since I seem to be the catalyst for this I shall state that there have been irreverent comments directed at numerous "celebrities" over the years in the "well farewell now" threads.
A great number of them would have been survived by family members and that is their grief to bear.
Are the comments acceptable? Well, moderators of good taste and morals will argue against that, I think its all fair game.
It seems a few Rangers fans were upset by my post but I'd bet all my worth that had it been a Celtic related comment they wouldn't have been so precious.
I'm actually glad it upset them, that was the intent.
