@jaa11 - would it be acceptable for me to tell you or other Celtic fans that we don't want you at the club because you don't agree with our opinions or our vision of what we want the club to be?
So now let me ask you, what gives you the right or authority to tell other fans that we are not needed or wanted, just because we have different views from you? Do you not think that reeks of arrogance and superiority?

I think you must be talking about or too someone else,
As I’ve not said any such thing, if you mean me questioning you in response to you yesterday (copied below) , it’s a far cry from what you just said, but lots of your comments have been nonsense filled with hate . I don’t expect anything different.
See below.
That’ reply sums you up, sums up your constant negative rhetoric, sums up your ability to shout down points of view but not give much back, sums up your hate, sums up your entitlement, sums up your views of the Celtic of old,
It’s a football team Joe, it’s about winning games of football,
Celtic football club a club open to all, Joe you don’t represent the clubs values either . Perhaps read the clubs mission statement, maybe it’s not the board that need to go, maybe it’s fans like you ( devils advocate due to your reply )

Let me quote you verbatim:
"Celtic football club a club open to all, Joe you don’t represent the clubs values either . Perhaps read the clubs mission statement, maybe it’s not the board that need to go, maybe it’s fans like you"
Taken from page 4 on banter at time of writing.
So you are saying it's fans like me that needs to go. If you are going to say something, then don't pretend you didn't say it when you get called out.
I should also say this is not the first time you have attacked your fellow Celtic fans.
You say my comments are filled with hate, I challenge you to go and find one. Feel free to quote me verbatim.
You say our club is open to all. Does that mean you would be happy to have Donald trump, Vladimir Putin, Benjamin netanyahu or Haibatullah Akhundzada on our board? Do you think they reflect our clubs mission statement?

I’m unsure why you need quote me and tell me what page something is on that I had already clearly shared in my own reply,
At no point did I say you or other fans
Wouldn’t be welcome, or attack you (how hurt you may feel)
That quote was in reply to your attack on another Celtic fan, perhaps why you’ve started a new thread and not continued the discussion (on page 4 for anyone else) and I clearly ask the question -maybe, in fact I say maybe twice, and also stated I was playing devils advocate (apologies there was no question mark) , but it seems you’ve tried to cleverly use part of the reply against me, maybe to cover your own short comings,
Good day Joe, perhaps go over yesterdays thread maybe try an understand it a bit more or read it all rather then the one hurtful wee sentence you shared, you clearly didn’t and clearly started a new thread for your own purposes, didn’t work but did it .
Good luck and good day.

So how exactly am I supposed to interpret:
"It’s not the board that need to go, maybe it’s fans like you"
especially when you referenced me by name right beforehand? That reads like a direct personal attack and an attempt to suggest I’m not welcome at Celtic. There’s really no other way to spin that.
For the record, I was not attacking any other fans. I clearly explained what I meant by the term “soup taker” and how it applied specifically to Brian Wilson. That was context, not abuse. There were no ad hominem attacks, no insults, and no targeting of anyone but feel free to post what I said if you have evidence that says otherwise.
You’ve accused me of making hateful posts, yet you still haven’t quoted a single one. If they exist, produce them. The fact you can’t suggests you’re talking pish and inventing things to suit your own narrative.
If you’re going to make accusations, back them up. Otherwise, stop misrepresenting what I actually said.
I also noticed that you waited for this thread to drop off the first page. I wonder why? ?.
