Business as usual at the Old Firm
Luis Suarez has apologized, Kenny Dalglish has apologized. Both have exhibited sociopathic

Voices floating over Hadrian's Wall after Sunday's Old Firm derby sounded curiously, positive.
Curiously positive in the sense that, with so much about Scottish football being accompanied by the

fierce display of quality football for the majority of the ninety minutes, showcasing much of the
skill and drama that draws us to this game.
We're starting a new feature on the Free Beer Movement site to expand our coverage of American
soccer culture. It's called "Better Know a Supporters Group" just like Steven Colbert's "Better
Know a District" from "The Colbert Report".
Our goal: to feature each of the MLS teams' supporters groups.
