    Never bought a newspaper. I prefer to read the truth on internet instead.

    Have been boycotting it for years. Absolute embarrassment of a newspaper.

    For everybody that is saying they do not buy the paper or visit it's website, do you know people that do? Would you encourage them to give it up?

    Not off the top of my head. My Mum doesn't really get a paper in and my brother uses the internet for football news. My sister reads the broadsheets.

    I'd certainly encourage anyone I knew not to buy it.

    Amazes me that any self-respecting * would read (far less buy) any tabloid paper!

    *-stirring nonsense penned solely for the unintelligent and gullible!

    They are going down the *. No need for newspapers anymore hence why they print more ridiculous *. No need for them when you get instant news online. Find it funny when you see papers talking about a "tweet" that somebody posted the day before...

    Stopped buying it around 16 years ago and have become tired of posting on this very forum that no Celtic fan should ever do so. Celtic have been hammered in this paper for years whilst they have crawled so far up the huns arses they can pick the peanuts out their jobbies.

    They printed numerous 'sad headlines' about the huns (RIP R*ngers etc) when they were on their * and accused of cheating, whilst when we were on our knees in the 90's they revelled in all the 'sack the board' and 'Celtic in crisis' headlines.

    They labelled the huns march through the streets when they went into administration as an 'astonishing show of support', even though there were arseholes everywhere and group chants of the usual bile in what was basically a glorified orange walk. Of course when the GB tried to peacefully march to Celtic Park from the Galowgate they were dismissed as troublemakers after the shocking treatment they were given by police.

    They allow ex-huns (e.g. - Mark Hateley) to have their own columns to slabber about them.

    I could go on and on .. but quite simply :- don't buy it, don't read it and don't wipe your * with it.

    I agree. I have never bought a tabloid in my life, even if I am guilty of looking at the back pages when I see one. It is just trash. People shouldn't have to boycott them, they should just not buy them.

    What I would say is that these papers do not make money by being biased against one of the biggest supporter clubs in the country. They make money by creating stories out of nothing and winding silly people up about stuff they care about. I don't read the paper but I sense they do not really give a * about being biased. They know winding up stupid football fans sells papers and so they do it.

    I view The Sun and Thee Record the same way I view the likes of Heat magazine which is a gossip/* fest that does no good for the person reading it or the person the stuff is being wrote about.
