Says the guy who: * Tried to blame Anderlecht fans for Celtic fans disorder. * Can't even admit that some stupid wee fanny is a bigot, simply because he supports ra same team. Yeah dev. I stopped giving a toss about your opinion when I realised how much of a biased, self righteous arsehole you are. But please continue to post and tell me your feelings. I'm sure I'll take your thoughts very seriously.
The thing is, even if it was a FACT that he is a bigot. It has no bearing on this at all. It is a character assassination for no other reason than the fact he is a Celtic fan in bother. Twist the story till it turns out nothing like reality. If he was a bigot, I'd call him a bigot. I've no No qualms over that at all. It wouldn't alter my stance on how his case should be handled. And... Get this. Even if he was a fan of the Rangers who had gotten in bother watching Rangers when they used to play, I'd say the same ****ing thing.
Would if I could. Besides I'm not raging, I enjoy laughing at your nonsensical dribble from time to time. I guess you keep saying that to me to try get a rise, similar to the one I got out of you. Just aint gonna happen. How abouts you send me up some of you 104% solid THC hash Dev? You know, the stuff your mate makes? Man I wish I knew someone that imaginary.
Can't get Howard Marks on the phone nut? What about Jorge Cervantes, he one of your pals? What a shame. I've never had mythical hash before, guess I'll need to keep waiting. Maybe if I pray to the all mighty Atheismo he'll send me some.
Curiosity got the better of me so I had a look at his timeline on the twitter machine. The guy is clearly Celtic daft! clearly a Republican and it is abundantly clear that he is referencing the OO in his tweets. One of his tweets from the same day illustrates "this is why I hate the bastards" and has a photograph accompanying it. I wonder did that appear on any of the forums showing why he is such a "bigot"? I'm going to guess not. I have no doubts you wouldn't like him, but that doesn't mean he's a bigot.
The guy can't be blamed for not liking the bastards . Could anyone reasonably suggest that any normal person could not do anything but hate the likes of Medro and others on here who demonstrate their hatred of Celtic and their fans on almost a daily basis . This guy goes to Celtic games nearly every week. A girl was hit and then the plain clothes men laid into someone else, he did what he thought was right and tried to help.
I posted on this thread, then read it back with a nice hot cup of black coffee, 2 cheese croissants and a cinnamon donut, and can safely conclude the following: - McMullen's tweets could easily be viewed as bigoted. - Some of you care far too much about idiots who got arrested whilst on an away trip, simply because they support Celtic. Imagine if it was the huns (I can say that because I'm a keyboard bigot). - My cinnamon donut was a sugary delight. - My ban has not been lifted. Carry on
So when he says huns he means members of the orange order? Defending a buckfast swigging bigoted ned just because he supports ra shelts
They could. But it is certainly not proof that he is a bigot. Given the date those tweets were posted, and the literally hundreds of tweets before and since he must be given the benefit of the doubt. In the context of a debate on the internet, I "care" about the point that there is a presumption of innocence rather than that of guilt. When Rangers used to play, they had a goalkeeper called Uncharacteristicerrorfrom McGregor. He stood accused of some sexual offences and was given a whole load of **** by the Celtic support. To this day if a Celtic supporter referenced "The rapist", you'd know to whom they were referring. I am aware that largely comes from a place where it is used to point score or wind folk up, but it always made me deeply uncomfortable that we would disregard the very same principles that folk are doing right now in assuming that folk are guilty.
Nobody is saying he is guilty of anything. I don't even know what charges he faces. He is a bigot though. Probably proud of it too Edit: His only crime was supporting Celtic
I don't know Trebor. I am just telling you what it looks like. It doesn't neatly fit your package that he is a bigot at all. And I am not defending him. I am defending the principle that he should be afforded the same presumption of innocence that every accused person in Western civilisation is given. I can't defend him because I don't know the facts. The reverse is also true for you. You can make hay once due process has been followed. Until then, I think it is unreasonable to want to hang the guy because you think a couple of quips he may have made on the day bigots celebrate their bigotry. Now why do you think someone trawled his twitter feed to find something he might have said that could be construed as bigoted and then reproduce it in forums? Why do you think that is relevant in this discussion?
You don't know what the charges are but yet you hope he gets time? If the team you supported got to play a friendly in Amsterdam and you attended and were held in custody for something or other, do you think someone might be able to point to some of your posts and write you off as a bigoted NED and therefore not entitled to a defence?
I wouldn't be stupid enough to do that on twitter, Rebel. I can hide behind an avatar here I hope he gets time yes, because I don't like him PS ned isn't an acronym
