It must have been satisfying to see Celtic get beat mid week and go back to the top. Lennon is not a good advert for Celtic or football in general.

He's super passionate about his club, he can fire the team up and grind out results, it's his 1st season as a manager and he's on the verge of winning the league and a cup if we get a bit of luck.

Despite all the ste he has to put up with from other sources.

Aye, he can be a wee wk at times, like most folk, but is he fk a bad advert for Celtic or Scottish football.

Have a word with yourself.

You forget Lennon hasnt spent all of his football career in Scotland. And as a Liverpool supporter you'd be barking up the wrong tree if you think I am anti Celtic.

You will not find a bigger " nark " than Dalglish but just no passion!

Can you explain in what way he is not a good advert for Celtic or football in general?

Starting to feel a bit sorry for Lennon now - a fan just ran onto the pitch @ Hearts and attacked him. He's not really hurt but still, shocking scenes.

The mentality of these idiots is staggering.

The guy is a footballer, now manager, the end. He's not some kind of anti-Christ.

The bigotry in Scotland towards Catholics is simply unacceptable.

Next? Next Rangers win the league, Lennon takes a nervous breakdown and gets sectioned, and the bheggars get themselves a proper manager.

Congratulations and heartfelt thanks to the court that jailed the monkey-chanting bheggar today. Football doesn't need racism.

Scotland, the best wee (Bigoted) country in the world. West coast problem? I agree that Lennon can wind people up and piss people off but name me a football manager that doesn't. I'd also challenge anyone who believes that any of the abuse Lennon receives is down to some act of bigotry or sectarianism he has shown in the past.

The fact is that he is persecuted for being a Catholic, from the North, who is regarded as a hero by Celtic fans. Too many inbred muppets in the country can't accept that.

fksake. Yes, of course its good the racist got caught and sent down.

I can see why you're focussing on that as opposed to the silly death threats, mail bombs and attacks on our manager. Must bring it all on himself, eh?

Agreed.

Neither does it need brain dead s sending bombs to folk or attacking managers.

One Scotland Many Cultures....except Irish Catholics.

Scotland should be ashamed, but won't be.

Men like Martin O'Neill and Tommy Burns (like Walter Smith) were able to be passionate about their team and their club whilst still earning the respect of their rivals. Gracious in victory. Dignified in defeat.

Neil Lennon is cut from different cloth. He hasn't earned respect, he's inspired contempt. But hey, if that's what CFC and its supporters want for their public image of management that's their business, and their choice.

Here's hoping that even if he doesn't become a great success, Ally McCoist at least conducts himself with some dignity. I'm sure he will.

Hahaha 'dignity', you can see it oozing out of him.



Also I think you'll find it's 'Alastair' now.

You want to know the difference between the two teams supports? From the Scotsman:

The 19-year-old was reported to police by fellow Celtic fans who were disgusted by his behaviour and was later arrested after his photograph appeared in a Sunday newspaper

Funnily enough rangers 'fans' never seem to know who's singing their bilious, rascist rants.

Both sides have idiots, only one seem to admit it and want to get rid of them.

How many upright wholesome Celtic-supporting citizens were involved in the recent anti-British soldiers disgrace? A thousand? Two thousand? That's quite a lot of idiots to report to the police, isn't it?

And what about the disgraceful female bheggar wearing football colours in the Scottish Parliament?

Do you people actually know what 'appropriate conduct' means?

Appropriate conduct rings out along the same lines as establishment or quintessential. I reckon it would involve calling anyone associated with Celtic 'bheggars' or having a problem with Lennon due to his background.

As for Digniteeeeeeee, how about in Smiths younger days and his rants towards Chick Young? Or Ally McCoists part in the handbags at Parkhead not that long ago. I'm not saying that justifies anyone elses behaviour. No, people can get caught up in the moment, especially in such high pressure jobs.

After all the abuse Lennon takes; the manifestation of his frustration is getting a bit animated on the touchline or saying something in the media, and yet this is what you find unacceptable? I'm happy that he shows he cares, and rue the day hes sat in the stands with his 'brown brogues' and 'dignified behaviour'.
