Dev, I know everyone who has a slight difference in views from yourself is in your wee narrow mind rather stupid. However, I will risk your wrath again by pointing out it was Lennon's very smart arsed remark that he was surprised that the spelling was correct. I resented that because I think it is mama from heaven for the idiotic bears to taunt Celtic fans for years. They will besmirch all Celtic fans with their inability to spell. Unlike you I believe we are all in this together and when Neil could not write out a team-list in Sept/Oct. I still supported him, in many forums it wasn't the popular thing to do. The banner carrier, was not the wisest thing to do, but should he be written off as a sneer. I don't think so, If we create an us and them, we could have trouble for years. Unfortunately for what ever reason, P Lawell allowed an unsubstantiated or uncontested statement from a police force not known for its impartiality to be used to tarnish Celtic fans good reputation. If Lawell had not allowed that to go unchallenged or not appealed then Thursday's night fiasco may not have happened.
Read my first post again. Slowly. My reason is there. Where do i say anyone is barred from having a right to express an opinon? Another misrepresentation of the post. That post is my opinion, all of the post, not just one sentence of it. I am entitled to it. You disagree with my opinion, as is your right to do so. The crux of the matter is , I do not have to explain to anyone why i hold that opinion.
Why give your opinion on a forum and then refuse to discuss it? I have said clearly that Neil Lennon has my 100% support in what he said, the reason being is that he is the "Manager" of Celtic FC, if he can't talk on behalf of the majority of the fans then I don't know who can.
You misinterpret the meaning of the word "hype". When i point out the error, you say there was no hype, and accuse me of blaming the media for the "incidents" Where did i do this??? When i answer the post, you change direction, accusing me of denying "freedom of speech". Where did i do this??? When i post that it is you who gives the impression of wanting to deny "freedom of speech" to others on this site, you accuse me of posting on the wrong thread, [despite the fact that the two previous post to mine were on the same topic.] and make a judgement on the kind of person you think i am, pointing out that i am a relative newcomer to the site while you have been posting for four years. Next up [5th post] you tell me you could not give "a good ****" what i think [5th post???] and name other members of this forum that i have never mentioned. When i point out that you obviously care deeply what i think [5 posts] you tell me to "piss off" and point out you are opinionated. I return the compliment and replace opinionated with pompous. Hot on the heels of that, you accuse me of missing the "blindingly obvious". This coming from someone who has missed the "blindingly obvious" in my first post. Time for you to revert back to post No three again,basically the free speech one again. Where did i deny this right to anyone?? I refer you back to my original post and request you read it properly and point out that i do not have to explain my opinion to anyone [free speech and all that]. Along you come and ask why i dont want to discuss my opinion???. To put this as simply as i possibly can; In all of your posts you have not asked me one question that is not covered in my first post, although you have tried to make things up from my post that were not in it so therefore, why should i try to debate something that i have not said and that i do not necessarily believe in.? [Though you, in your judgement of me, believe i do]

It could be but I don't want to put words in his mouth, especially if he was not implying what I think he's implying, however correct I thought his analysis..
Don't know....but if you say it quickly enough you might get away with it and maybe no-one will notice it's rabble rousing effect - at least, I think, that's Mr Kavana's theory!
