The craft is with the Potter, not the clay

Too much time on my hands and too long before kick-off.

There's been a wee bit of back and forth this week between a vast array of contributors and one of the main talking points is what it is that makes a true Celtic fan.

There are those who believe it can only be achieved by attending every game home and away (not sure if that includes reserves, colts, age-group and womens games), then are those who, for a number of valid reasons, cannot make that commitment.

I prefer to measure it in a rather different way.

Throughout this last week, we have been provided the opportunity and invited to read a series ok f quite magnificent articles by a noted club historian - David Potter.

He has comprehensively researched his subject and put to word the legacy of Our Club for past, present and future generations.

As a consequence, our legends of yore will be immortalised and remembered because of the time, effort and patience of Celtic fans, such as David Potter.

I don't know how many matches David has attended. I don't care about how many matches David has attended. What I do know is that he is a true Celtic fan who also pays due respect to his birthplace and local team.

Now every Potter needs some clay to shape and mould into something useful. I'm not sure even the master potter of creation can shape or mould our very own "Clay" unless it is into something which resembles a small part of the male anatomy. Our own Potter is more than capable of moulding and shaping words into something greater than the sum of their parts, but there is no way on God's green (and white) Earth that he can manipulate "Clay" into anything more useful than a punch bag.

Yet our "Clay" has anointed himself as one of two 'superfans' who have blessed this platform with their presence. In spite of this pronouncement, I have yet to read anything positive that either Clay or superfanny II has written, but I have it on their own authority that they are, by far and away, the most dedicated and devoted Celtic supporters known to man or jungle.

Given the choice, it is easy for me to determine that the Potter is far more important than the Clay. The Potter is the designer and architect of an inanimate lump of semi-mineral stodge and represents the artistry of the true fan and what they can build as a lasting memorial of Our Club.

The clay??? Well I guess it must be good for something, but I'm having a helluva job trying to find what that is.
