    Ok. I appreciate the inflection doesn't translate to the written word but to clarify for the disingenuous.

    Nobody ever claimed that more Celtic fans than those of any other club would be charged under this Act.

    Absolutely not. My point remains the same as it has since this debate started.

    He's conducting his argument in the same way that he castigates others for.

    But somebody did claim Celtic fans have more reason to be fearful of this act than fans of other clubs?

    Why should they be more fearful if it's not the threat of arrest which worries them? What have they "even more reason to be fearful" of if not arrests?

    Simple question.

    Answer my question first.

    None of this actually means anything Rebel. I haven't "invented" any arguments for you. You are perfectly capable of espousing trite mince about why ******s are singing about terrorists at a football match.

    Never once have you made a logical and cogent response to the question of why you think that kind of unhelpful behaviour is acceptable inside a Scottish football ground.

    You are entrenched in a viewpoint that most find unsavoury and refuse to accept that times and rules change. Like a small child banging his fists on the ground because playtime is now 10 minutes long, not 15.

    Easy.

    Scenario:

    23 Motherwell fans are acting in a manner that could get them charged and 14 end up getting charged.

    At the same time 18 Celtic fans are acting in a manner that could get them charged and 12 end up getting charged.


    Wouldn't it be fair to say that the Celtic fan has more reason to be fearful of getting charged?


    Now you.

    Either a wind-up or the most *****fied use of logic and mathematics at the same time.



    If Paddy has five apples and gives 6 apples to Mick, why is Paddy confused?

    :confused: How does that answer what Dev asked you? All you've done is offer up a ridiculous 'scenario', then asked him a question.

    No, no one was quite so stupid as to confess that they thought more Celtic fans would be arrested under this law, they did slip up though and let their paranoia run riot by stating Celtic fans have more reasons to be fearful of this law, a claim which has been shown to be wrong.

    The offence is "offensive behaviour"

    Celtic supporters have even more reason to be fearful as the expectation was that it would be more stringently applied against Celtic supporters.

    The scenario outlined that this could be the case regardless of the bottom line number of how many charges were brought and against whom.

    Dev spunks rationality right into Rebel's eye. Leaving it sticky with pure reason.

    Madness. You're so set in your ways of painting everything as an injustice, that you're beyond any level of reason.

    Celtic fans have no reason to be fearful, but fannies who sing banned songs and act the t**t do.

    You're an apologist and defender of fannies who, along with his fellow victims, think they're more important than the club, the law and your fellow law-abiding supporters.
