Lennon Calls For An End To Offensive Chanting

Gunt, you clearly do not have a clue what you are talking about. That is ignorant in the extreme.

 

wrong

 

All of these acceptable imo.

 

I understood he was part of the Loughgall incident where the SAS set up an active PIRA unit but its not something I know much about.

 

This post shows me that you are clutching at straws and have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE about what you are speaking of.

Aiden McAnespie was , if I recall a voluntary worker during elections for Sinn Fein...nothing else!

 

OK what is the real story with Aidan McAnespie?

 

Go and find out for yourself instead of posting *.

 

The rebels will still be sung, but get the pathetic 'pi pi pira' chants to *.

 

Clearly.

Try clueing youorself up first before spouting arrogant lies about the deceased

 

McAnespie, a member of Aghaloo Gaelic football club, was travelling to a match when he was killed by a gunshot wound to the back. He had just walked past a British Army checkpoint.[2][3]The Army said that McAnespie had been hit when the weapon had discharged accidentally as a soldier was moving the gun with wet hands. Forensic evidence suggested that the fatal shot was one of three that had ricocheted off the road two metres behind McAnespie.[4][5]Charges were initially brought against Grenadier Guard Jonathan Holden for manslaughter but were dropped prior to prosecution.[3]He was fined for negligent discharge of the weapon and in 1990 was given a medical discharge.[6]McAnespie was an election worker for Sinn Féin, but both the Provisional Irish Republican Army and his priest said that he was not involved in paramilitary activity.[7]He had previously said that he had been threatened by the security forces,[8]and, according to his sister, soldiers had threatened to kill him on several occasions.[9]McAnespie's family allege a cover-up by the United Kingdom and question the likelihood of accidental discharge killing their son from a distance of 300 metres.[10]His father, in an article printed in the Observer Magazine, said that a soldier had stopped him some fifteen months before the shooting and told him I've a bullet here in the gun for your son Aidan[6

An innocent man who was MURDERED, facts right gunt!

 

Olann an cat cluin bainne leis!

 

I thought he was in a shoot out with the British army and the IRA but I am not much interested in this stuff so I am maybe mixing up different incidents and people.

 

There's even sections of our support and it seems to be large sections, wanting these songs that have been belted out for years, to be cut out at Celtic matches.

Truth is, the huns song book has been clamped down on because they are sectarian, racist and bigoted. Now there's pressure on Celtic fans to cut out some of our favourite songs, just because people outside Celtic might find them 'offensive'. That's right, not sectarian, bigoted, racist or illegal.

It's only dividing the support because we're suddenly under pressure to make this another Old Firm problem, when it's not a problem of ours at all. If a Celtic fan doesn't want to sing these songs, then just don't join in - I will continue singing the songs I have done for years, loud and proud.

 

He came from a Republican family, he was Irish, a Nationalist and he played Gaelic sports.

Good enough to carry the death sentence according to British military.

 

Well it smacks of hypocracy that you continually slam the singing of these songs, yet clearly know NOTHING about the history of them.

 

getting mixed up and lies are hardly the same thing.

 

You've just topped your first ignorant post. Well done.

They were never really in the songsheet to start with, they were chanted for all of 30 seconds in very extreme circumstances and I've only ever heard it chanted at Tynecastle.

 

agreed mate. im sure lenny meant this, rebels were in full swing when he was a player and fair play awards were won.

 

Really?

Another name for a lie is a 'falsehood'.

Your quote, was clearly a falsehood.
