If John Wilson only wanted to attack a Dick who mouthed off about refs and never gave the opposition credit.....why didn't he go for Jim Jeffries?

Fair play, I stand suitably chastised.

However as the upside-down banner didn't work, it might have been better to have a banner like,
"No bloodstained politicians on our board".

Perhaps. Having said that, left up to them, it would've been "no bloostained politicians on our bored"

Utter pish.
John Wilson attacked Lennon for being a ****. not for being a kafflick ****. He should have been charged with assault. He was charged with Religiously aggravated assault. This was not proven.
He admitted assault early on in the case, but due to an agenda to prove that Scotland has a sectarian problem, the RA aspect was pushed and the PF ****ed it up. Why is this so hard for some to take in?

As for your reliable witness pish, Peter croy claimed he heard Wilson call Lennon a fenian ****er, Lennon and Chimpson both denied hearing such a thing and they were very much closer to the incident.
Mr. Croy also claimed he could hear perfectly well although the defence had proof that his hearing test results showed his hearing was far from perfect. The fact Mr. Croy failed to disclose his hearing problem to the jury made his evidence rather more shaky.
If you had checked what actually happened in court you would realise where the blame lies for the not proven verdict.
1. An agenda to push the vicTIM card, when there was insufficient proof.
2. The PF failing to do proper checks on their star witness.
3. The fact that Lennon and Chimpson booted in to a man on the ground, this was a major fact in proving that there was an agenda against John Wilson, as if the evidence showed John Wilson guilty for assault with that ****e punch, Lennon and Chimpson were equally guilty of assault.
John Wilson never committed a religiously aggravated assault. Hence why his criminal record will only be updated with a breach of the peace.

I think this post is testament to your own prejudices so when people like you start telling me we don't have a problem in Scotland then I immediately know that we do.

Your joy in Wilson being cleared is obvious and you should stick to doing whatever it is you do for a living because you are simply ignorant when it comes to the law in Scotland.

Nah lennons just a moan, that's why he got it.....oh wait Jeffries never had that

Ok it must be because he slags off refs for being bias....oh wait the current Scotland manager has done this, so has butcher and mcpherson

Right its because he is aggressive...that is not on.....oh wait Craig Brown has been throwing his fists around something awful....and we laugh

He was a dirty player.....nope very few red cards at all

Hmm.....he brings it on himself....just like McCourt and McGinnis.....err

He's ugly.....aye but have you seen a handsome hun....canny be that

What other reason could someone have?

 

[The Raging Oxter]

Girvan, why don't you stop obsessing about Neil Lennon?

It's not healthy for anyone, never mind a man your age.

 

[Admiral Pure]

Are you on the wind up?

Is this really the general opinion of celtc fans?

I think most people can accept that not everyone who hates Neil Lennon does so for sectarian reasons. But to suggest that sectarianism plays no part in the treatment he has received is another matter entirely.

 

[The Raging Oxter]

Grow up Girvan. I could understand this sort of behaviour from someone in their teens but someone of your age is just embarrassing.

 

[Mind The Duck]

Just my opinion

No one else has received the same amount of abuse as lennon has, even though they have behaved in the same way or in a worse way

So I think its ok to ask if there is another reason?

 

[Jobby Funbags]

Ashton Lane.

I could right a book with the pish some folk have said about that on forums.

It was a lassie, it was two old men, Lennon started it, blah blah ****ing blah - says a lot for peepil if they go to these lengths to excuse two experienced criminals with something like 16 previous violent offences against their names.

Still, Lennon started it, eh?

That excuses the two students as well, I suppose.

"Aye, but he goat attackd cos he sent nasty texts to his ex-bird"

Attack your own manager then, fannies.

Agreed, some might. Even I can accept that.

I don't hate him because of his religion. I think that someone who threatens their girlfriend to have an abortion and over text message is scum, I think that a football club in Scotland should not appoint a man who is involved in land deals with known IRA commanders, I think a man portrayed as a victim in Ashton Lane, even though other reports showed that he had a part in instigating the violence, does not deserve sympathy or protection from the media. I have heard many a tale of his behaviour in Tennents that, in most pubs accross the country would lead to a slap or two.

In some ways. it was unfair that the board at Celtc threw a man with known mental problems into such a high profile job.
I can't say that this has contributed to his behaviour.

What I can say though, is that Aiberdeen fans, Hearts fans, Kilmarnock fans, Motherwell fans and even Hivs fans have all shown a distaste for Lennon and sung "If you hate Neil Lennon clap your hands."


Dev tried to make out that Wilson attacked him due to his religion.
That is a lie. The same lie that saw Wilson get off with it.

I also feel that clubs should distance themselves from goalkeepers involved in gang rapes, managers with shady relationships with uvf members, wife beating star players and managers who admit to being bigots

But I wouldn't attack them or send them mail

Had I not been to Motherwell games that did not involve Celtic and still heard 'dirty fenian bastard' being shouted at players...sometimes their own, you may have had a point

They are more orangemen in Motherwell than attend Motherwell matches

Suggesting he instigated it isn't excusing?

"Many a tale about his behaviour"?

Usual load of bollocks.

 

[The Raging Oxter]

Girvan, you just lie to try and justify your argument. A two minute scan of your posting history simply reveals you as a bigot of the highest order. You clearly hate Neil Lennon and blame him for everything that happens to him.

The bombs? Lennon's fault.
The assault in Glasgow? Lennon's fault.
The assault in Edinburgh? Lennon (and Thompson's) fault.

You're a bigoted prick and an ignorant arsehole.

Listening to you prattling on about there being no sectarianism in Scotland is like being told by Nick Griffin that racism no longer exists. For as long as you live in Scotland, sectarianism will exist as you exude it from every pore.

 

[Null]

a man who is involved in land deals with known IRA commanders,

What a load of pish ...

Lennon didn't do any deals with "IRA commanders"!

They guy he was doing business in was allegedly involved in - a total seperate deal from Lennon's, at a different time, in a different place deal - deal to build houses using laundred IRA cash!

I only know a few, so can only go on that.

As for Orangemen, ones I know tend to not go to the football. The few that do wouldn't mention their allegiances while they were there anyway.

The neds that tag along with the parades are a different matter, and one which most members would be glad to see the back of.

It can't help when rangers want to be associated with them

Orange Day
Blue Order
Orange Strip

Rangers are the spiritual home of anti catholicism

I know you didn't start out that way

I know its not actually what rangers stand for

But it is a beacon for a lot of people with issues they'd like to blame the taigs for....because their dads did, and their dads did....

It's kind of cultish

You seem upset Stereo.
Do you want to talk about it?

It's just that throughout the last few days, you've been unable to debate without personal attacks.

Do you not have a valid argument? Is that it?

I've given you my point of view on a number of matters. I even gave you an example of sectarianism when you asked for it.

Guess what? You just ignore it because it doesn't fit in with your limited mind set.

So what's the point of engaging you in debate when you either don't have the mental gumption to understand what others are telling you or you choose to act in a blinkered, belligerent way?
