Not much chance of him resting in peace with all the wankers flocking to 
his graveside.

I buried my old man last Friday and went up the graveside today for the 
first time since TB's funeral. My old man is in the plot right next to TB 
and all his flowers and wreaths have been tossed aside so the collective 
horde could get a better gawp at TB's grave. No respect at all. Was 
watching people drive up alongside the grave and just sit in their cars 
then drive off. No respect for me or my ma trying to repair the damage 
that's been done to our own father grave.

So if your thinking of visiting Tommy's grave, try and have a wee bit of 
respect for my old man beside him. He might not have played for Celtic but 
in our eyes he was still a legend.

Sme, I am very sorry for your loss. Sincere condolences mate, must be really 
tough dealing with these insensitive tossers at a time like this :-(

Condolensces to you and your mother. That's very disappointing to think that 
the crowds have been insensitive to other morners and the memory of their 
loved ones. No disrespect to TB but sometimes these things become 
Diana-esque. And I've been to the memorial at Celtic Park so I've been, 
although indirectly, part of this too. I think you should phone Peter 
Lawwell or the Council and they should hopefully sort something out. Maybe a 
discrete barrier at the graveside or a sign at the enterence of the cemetry 
asking people to show respect to other graves or something in the Celtic 
View? Again my deepest sympathies on what must be a very tough week for you.

Thanks Zaid. I know you recently lost your parents so you'll have an idea 
what its like. I was just back from the graveside so was a bit pissed 
off. I realise the grave diggers have to move stuff to allow the families 
in to their own gravesides but the way it appeared discarded was what 
pissed me off.

TBF since i moved things back it doesn't appear to be disturbed again. 
People have actually teken time to look at my da's grave (possibly seeing 
the Tommy (his name) and being inquisitive).

On a side note, my uncle was up for the first time as he works offshore 
and when he came back from the grave i overheard him saying Rod Stewart 
had got one. I sat for half an hour thinking he meant a plot. My old man 
would have been in his element lying between his two heros, Rod Stewart 
and Tommy Burns. It was of course one of the floral celtic tops he was 
talking about. :-)

Thanks Liam. I was thinking along the lines of a small fence (like the 
wee boundary edge things) but didn't want it to look as though we minded 
TB being beside our da. Since i placed the floral displays back it 
doesn't appear to have been moved or disrupted so i think it was more to 
do with the gravediggers moving them for Tommy Burns funeral than the 
actual fans. After having time to think about it i overreacted. Who could 
ask for a better neighbour than Tommy Burns. :-)

Hopefully the two Tommy's will be sitting up there thinking the same 
thing.

No worries sme. Maybe TB is already watching out for his namesake. :¬)

If you have any more trouble with his mourners you could have an ASBO placed 
on him,  that would be a first.  ;)

Seriously...sorry to hear about your Old Man.
