Who honestly gives a f*ck about Scottish football? The quality of football is shit and the fans are braindeads.

I think you've posted this 4/5 times on these threads, no one valued your opinion then - what makes you think anyone will now, you not bored of repeating yourself?

Its general football, don't like it...do one.

^ this.

[T.R.O.L.I.]

Seriously - if that fan was gonna go to that much effort to lamp one on Lennon, at least make sure you connect with your punch

^^^ And this - can't condone his actions but I said the same to a Hearts supporting colleague this morning.

LOL at a man getting attacked for being a catholic, Ok mate, Maybe you should move to Belfast, Fit in nicely.

He wasn't attacked for being a catholic, this myth needs to stop.

Tommy Burns, marton o'neil both catholics, both recent celtic managers, neither were attacked, so why lennon?

he is a horrible human being and nobody likes him.

While not condoning the action, lennon really does not help himself

Most recently he has insinuated recently that teams don't try against Rangers, This is despite hibs and dundee utd both beating rangers at Ibrox this season, Dundee Utd just recently and at the time prevented Rangers moving to the top of the SPL

If you find it all so uninterested, why do you keep opening the threads?

2 scottish teams have reached a European final in the last 10 years.

A player that played in Scotland till Feb 2009 was touted for EPL player of the season.

i believe the best goalkeeper in Britain plies his trade in Scotland.

Can't be all bad.

But you carry on believing SKYs EPL hype

Super Sunday, Fulham v Blackburn

Out of interest, who would that be?

before we get on to the myths, you had better sort out the one-eyed bullshit.

Lennon............. Fair enough he shouldn't have bombs sent to him -

on balance, you are probably right there.

[Stuka]

Despite all the hyperbole around events like last night, Scottish football can indeed be very good. I find those who write it off often don't really watch it.

Incidentally there is no evidence to suggest the attack on Lennon was sectarian. Yet when he salutes the 'magnificent support' after they sing IRA songs, which are very offensive to a lot of people, you begin to see that he is not completely blameless.

You think he's a nice guy and everyone loves him?

I, and many others both within and outwith scottish football, don't like the guy, it has nothing to do with him being a catholic.

[No Fixed Abode]

Agreed. Lennon is a c0ck of the highest order. Fair enough he shouldn't have bombs sent to him - but the man does not help himself. Walking off the pitch at Ibrox the other week gesturing to the home fans. Comments made in the media this week. Going for McCoist the other month. He's a bellend and the game should kick him out. But they won't as the SFA would be accused of being racist etc.

Did Morihinio ever get bombs sent to him for doing pretty much the same? No. Pure sectarian hatred. Rangers fans trying to disguise this fact once again...

I've never seen Mourinho go for another manager.

if it was pure sectarian hatred, why did this not happen to martin o'neil or tommy burns?

[southbank1871]

Some of the problems of the whole situation are highlighted on this thread tbh. It's clearly not pure sectarian hatred that's fuelling this vendetta against Lennon, but for anyone to suggest that it has nothing to do with it is ridiculous. Lennon seems to be a real dick which certainly doesn't help matters of course. Rangers and Celtic both clearly have bigots as fans and they're all as bad as each other imo.

As it's no longer 1690 I'm out.

Exactly right, he's a horrible cunt of a man and I'm gutted the bloke didn't connect with his hooter!

[Gus the teenage cow]

typical garbage from some people on there, can't say i am surprised

sectarian chanting and refereeing decisions are one thing, and they work both ways but only one club has had its players getting bullets in the post, only one club has had it's manager and high-profile fans getting bombs in the post, only one club has had its manager getting attacked on the pitch, only one club has had thugs hanging outside the training ground with a gun

finerain seems to get off digging for links to discredit celtic and its fans, i honestly could provide you with a 100 page thread of dodgy stuff related to rangers and thats this season alone but i can't be bothered, i'm not desperately trying to win some pr battle,the events speak for themselves

anyone who says lennon brings it on himself is either a moron or has an agenda and there's a fair share that fall into both categories posting on this thread, the people who say they wish the guy was bombed or punched or killed really are showing themselves to be the utter hate-filled c*Nts they are (indeed it's these kinds of people that are the reason the scottish game is in such a mess)

there are many outspoken provocative managers out there, the likes of neil warnock, sam allardyce, ferguson but they don't get the same treatment as lennon

oh and as for those saying burns and o'neill didn't get the same level of abuse, so what? what have paddy mccourt, neil mcginn, paul mcbride and trish godman done to deserve getting bullets and bombs in the post then?

the fact is there is a huge sectarian problem in scotland and a lot of it boils down to anti-catholic bigotry, it's as simple as that, it's endemic there, in fact it's almost as bad as northern ireland now and it won't go anywhere for generations (if at all, some people live on it and thrive on it), neil lennon has been hated since he said he would like to play for a united ireland team (and he had every right to say that as a northern nationalist), then he got death threats from loyalist terrorists and had to quit playing for northern ireland because of that

no doubt the usual suspects will come back with that celtic sing ira songs (last night was the first time i've heard those songs in a while and it was done in response to sectarian chanting by hearts fans but no excuses, it shouldn't have happened), that celtic have problems with their fans too etc etc

but the stuff lennon has had to deal with is on a whole other level to anything else, it's unprecedented and the victim-blaming stuff is nonsense, it deflects away from the core problem and it's insidious and mean-spirited

yes lennon is a hot-headed guy, yes he seems to wind people up the wrong way but no he doesn't deserve any of this, the scottish game is truly poisonous and sick and this has been the ultimate season of shame, let's hope something meaningful is finally done by the authorities to stamp out this stuff but i won't hold my breath

best of wishes to walter smith on his impending departure, a very underrated manager who is tactically very good, also the glasgow derby tends to bring out the worst in people but most of the time he has been a calm and dignified presence and lennon could learn a lot from him

congratulations also to rangers on their impending title win and three in a row achievement, an extraordinary achievement considering the lack of resources at their disposal, i have zero doubts killie will be rolled over with ease, rangers deserve the league title, they are a tougher more dogged and clinical side than celtic and can grind out results when it counts which is what you need to win titles

unfortunately this season will be remembered for the off-field stuff, let's hope next season we are talking about the football and the ugly stuff is done away with

[Barry the bird boggler]

Quinn and Gooding wanted to sign Lennon for Reading when he was at Crewe.

He doesn't help himself. He's a cunt. Celtic are cunters. IPSO FACTO

[LUX]

good post Gus. Maybe a bit skewed, as it is clear that both sets of fans have (a large share of) bigots. But in view of the usual terrorist and thug apologists on here, that bias can be excused.

btw George Best also said he wanted to play for a united Ireland team and he was a Protestant.

[who are ya?]

And an alcoholic.....

you just proved my point, well done on being so predictable
