It's an anti-Catholic slur plain and simple.

Which confirms the position i and others have taken on here that there are those who are using issues about Neil Lennon to hide their own bigotry but are too scared/ or embarrassed to come out with it.

Then there are those who join in the anti Lennon stuff not realising the hidden agenda that they are supporting.

I was not aware of the Bradford incident with lennon so i can understand why some people may dislike him but the attitude of some on here dissapoints me and reminds of the likes of Donald Findlay respectable on the outside but a closet bigot happy to sing the sectarian songs on the inside . Unfortunately Cara Henderson got it right the nice middle class bigotry still gives succour to those who kill or send bombs to football clubs

Or you're using the whole notion of bigotry and bringing relgion into it to cover such issues as this whereas actually, Neil Lennon is just a person I don't like through years of seeing what he does and says. That's my opinion, just deal with it.

People like you are the problem who HAVE to make everything religious and get some kick out of it. Just accept I don't like the person and that I couldn't give a hoot about religion in any form within football, politics, the whole world. Religion means nothing to me.

Calling them vicTims doesn't make me an outright bigot, no more than Clubs in all countries who have stupid nicknames for each other to wind them up. Do you think people calling Man Utd 'Munichs' etc genuinely were glad that all those people died on the plane? When Leyther Matt calls me a Yam I don't think he's calling me a sweet potatoe. It's just another silly term that's grown to be a wind-up tool.

Have a nice day

So your argument is that you are a not a bigot but in the context of the discussions on here and events in Scotland maybe you should be more careful about what you say. Maybe you should read up on Cara Henderson it might educate you a litle bit.
then again your above arguement suggests you are just ignorant. I look forward to your next contribution to discussions about Man United. Maybe you copuld start it with , " The Munichs have just won their 19th title", after all it is just a joke isnt it.

And the context of using the likes of Tim, Hun, Yam etc is meant as a wind-up tool with regards to the football teams in question. I think you might be looking in to things a little too deeply.

A lovely goal from sung yong KI, caught it at half time from the rugby

Re: Scottish Football Thread : Mon Aug 15, 2011 8:19 am  

Well,WIZEB ? difficult start for The Lichties ?

do you reckon Swankie could play at a higher level ?

Jags doing ok but had a hiccup against the mighty Wick with injuries seriously affecting the team - still confident we can retain the title tho' !
