Davy 68 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 The old man bought The Sun today, as he does every other day despite my protests! Anyway, when reading the story about Celtic fans unhappiness about their new Chairman, I spotted a small column at the bottom of the page showing Lawwell's comments on the Big Jock Knew 'campaign.' The story starts: 'Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell yesterday slammed the bigots who are dragging Jock Stein's name through the mud.' I'm sorry, 'bigots'? Are The Sun generalizing all Rangers fans who chant this as 'bigots'? Surely not... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MhediaDictionary.com Rangers FC = generically = Bigots. big·ot [big-uht] Pronunciation Key –noun a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion. I take it Lawell thinks paedophilia is a creed, belief or opinion? Now if it had said Religious practice usually performed by the priesthood, i agree with him.

Davy 68 Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Just for anyone who didn't see it, Lawwell commented: 'This is a poisonous utterly despicable and even cowardly campaign against a man who isn't here to defend himself.' Funny, Mr Lawwell, he didn't defend many when he was here... 'If it continues we will have no other option but to do something.' Scary... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bestiadegranada 0 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Yeh, yeh. A paragraph about it is in the Guardian sport section but curiously omitted from the online section. "If it escalates, we will have no option but to do something publicly." If it escalates? I seem to remember us drowning out the Celtic fans with a full 15 minute rendition of BJK last season, how can it escalate much further than that?? What are you going to do exactly Mr Lawwell? "Poisonous, repugnant and despicable." Maybe, but that is a subjective comment. Another poster on here used a different adjective, "true". This is an objective comment, and is indisputable, as evidence was accepted in the High Court on the point that Stein knew about the scandal years before it was made public. So make it public if you want, Lawwell, it wasn't us who tried to give this man a posthumous knighthood, or held him up as an example of sainthood. But it is us who have the truth on our side. And if you "do something publicly", that truth will reach far more ears than we could. I've said it before on here many times, I will NEVER accept lectures on morality from supporters or officials of a club who covered up a child molesting scandal for nigh on twenty years. And I will NEVER EVER accept such lectures from those who think that a war-mongering neo-fascist is fit for purpose as the figurehead of their club.
