Beware snooping TV mics

640

Offensive, insulting and abusive language is not condoned on CQN nor anywhere else but if you’re mumbling to this effect while typing more prosaic comments we don’t have a problem. If, by some clever use of technology, I discretely caught you on mic while recording a feature for CQN and broadcast your words it would be my fault, not yours.

If Neil Lennon addressed insulting or abusive language at an official or opponent then he should be correctly disciplined, but if, as reported, television microphones picked up randomly comments there is no case to answer.

We’re getting back to the days when directional radio mics were used to pick up sound from Celtic fans getting off buses outside Falkirk Stadium in 2009. This one feels opportunistic and is not balanced by audio from other technical areas under scrutiny. If this is how the SFA want to control technical areas, they should issue advice to this effect and introduce appropriate measures, not attempt to discipline Neil Lennon without precedent.

    Its a bad day when you think there’s worse refs than Craig Thomson you could get

     

    Thomson doing DU Semi final,do not trust any of them inc Madden,Norris,MacLean,Collum…..etc

  2. I think the way to look at this one would be to have a mass lets all laugh at them again this is even worse than the zombie banner farce”. They continue to make utter ph@nni3s of themselves on a minute by minute basis. I reckon we should have a banner saying “Team dead, get over it. Move on.”

  3. Ryanair’s Micheal O’Leary arrives in a hotel in Dublin, he goes to the bar and asks for a pint of draught Guinness. The barman nodded and said, “That will be one Euro please, Mr. O’Leary.”

     

    Somewhat taken aback, O’Leary replied, “That’s very cheap,” and handed over his money.

     

    “Well, we try to stay ahead of the competition”, said the barman. “And we are serving free pints every Wednesday evening from 6 until 8. We have the cheapest beer in Ireland”

     

    “That is remarkable value” Michael comments

     

    “I see you don’t seem to have a glass, so you’ll probably need one of ours.

     

    That will be 3 euro please.

     

    O’Leary scowled, but paid up. He took his drink and walked towards a seat.

     

    “Ah, you want to sit down?” said the barman. “That’ll be an extra 2 euro. – You could have pre-book the seat, and it would have only cost you a Euro.”

     

    “I think you may to be too big for the seat sir, can I ask you to sit in this frame please”

     

    Michael attempts to sit down but the frame is too small and when he can’t squeeze in he complains “Nobody would fit in that little frame”.

     

    “I’m afraid if you can’t fit in the frame you’ll have to pay an extra surcharge of €4.00 for your seat sir”

     

    O’Leary swore to himself, but paid up. “I see that you have brought your laptop with you” added the barman. “And since that wasn’t pre-booked either, that will be another 3 euro.”

     

    O’Leary was so annoyed that he walked back to the bar, slammed his drink on the counter, and yelled, “This is ridiculous, I want to speak to the manager”.

     

    “Ah, I see you want to use the counter,” says the barman, “that will be 2 euro please.” O’Leary’s face was red with rage.

     

    “Do you know who I am?”

     

    “Of course I do Mr. O’Leary,”

     

    “I’ve had enough, What sort of Hotel is this? I come in for a quiet drink and you treat me like this. I insist on speaking to a manager!”

     

    “Here is his E mail address, or if you wish, you can contact him between 9 and 9.10 every morning, Monday to Tuesday at this free phone number. Calls are free, until they are answered, then there is a talking charge of only 10 cent per second”

     

    “I will never use this bar again

     

    “OK sir, but remember, we are the only hotel in Ireland selling pints for one Euro”

  5. It wasn’t that long ago, as I recall, that a judge ruled that swearing (at a policeman) was not a crime.

     

     

    Now, as much as I don’t particularly care for industrial language being used by players, managers or especially “supporters”, it’s a man’s game. A working man’s game (originally). And swearing is neither here nor there.

     

     

    Heck, I’m sitting in an office full of people (not my own company’s office I hasten to add), women and men, young(ish) and old. And the language from the ladies closest to me is industrial strength. Mostly in good humour.

     

     

    The SFA are opening a can of worms with this one. Fans with phones that sit near the dugouts will have them tuned in and will report transgressions from the opposition bench.

  6. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    I actually find this amusing…….. Tha SFA want to visit the rm site / ff with their mics….. Those 2 sites have swearing down to an art…. And what about wattie with Poor wee Chic Young……and what about sally at the shame game (throughout the shame game…oops, I nearly said ffs..) ………… Let them get on with it Neil, ignore it all…..then carry a concealed mic to every game…..to let the SFA hear what you endure……….this is really hilarious

  7. From the BBC:

     

     

    ‘Lennon has been cited for “repeated use of offensive, insulting and abusive language” in Paisley.’

     

     

    I thought that was how everyone spoke in Paisley!

  8. So – 25,000 of the Oldco mob can sing clearly audible bile on national TV during a national cup final and a “Government” minister praises them. Our Manager has some crack with an ex-Celtic player he knows well and faces a fine and a ban???

     

     

    And as for Walter Dignity Smith – thug => http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7nViAiKWeI

     

     

    If Neil had behaved like Smith regularly did they’d jail him – time for Celtic to step up to the plate and defend our Club, AGAIN!!

     

     

    Hail! Hail!

    Laughable at best!!!

     

     

    What an embarrassment of an organisation!!!

     

     

    You only need to trawl the Internet for 30 seconds and you find Wattie former Scotland boss, and Christian Daily former Scotland captain swearing……

     

     

    Not even worthy of reply Celtic….

     

     

    Ignore them, they are nothing!!!

     

     

    They are only mere reminder that Scotland is “the worst wee presbyterian hovel in planet earth”

    Can Celtic not just say they didn’t gain a sporting advantage by Neil’s swearing?

  16. If further proof was needed beyond:

     

     

    consistently harsh/ wrong/ questionable decisions against the team on a weekly basis

     

     

    consistently heavy handed/ excessive / questionable Police treatment of our fans on a regular basis

     

     

    consistently biased / harsh/ questionable media coverage of the club on a regular basis

     

     

    consistently harsh/ questionable treatment of the club by the footballing authorities

     

     

    this latest nonsense with respect to NFL’s industrial language serves only to highlight to the world, precisely how much anti-celtic feeling exists within this country. It is so obviously outrageous, it’s actually funny. Just when you think Scottish football can not be made a greater laughing stock in global football terms, the guys in charge have brought to a whole new level. Thanks for showing the world, exactly how bad it is here for our club.

  18. lennybhoy…supporting neil lennon and cfc until i die

    It really is hilarious……..and justifies our ongoing concerns about playing football in this Country……..wattie must be embarrassed …..well, maybe not…

     

     

    Wonder if the SFA will now ask sally what he whispered to Neil…..LOL

  21. GlassTwoThirdsFull on

    In the new spirit of Scottish football, if Neil gets fined for his language, should Tony Mowbray not have to pay it?

  22. !!Bada Bing!! on

    Longmuir blanks Shortbread question re getting a job at Sevco,quel surprise.No follow up from the intrte…intrip…..incompetent Chris McLaughlin.

  23. ‘Lennon has been cited for “repeated use of offensive, insulting and abusive language” in Paisley. so where did they get the repeated, it all took place in paisley? have they been monitoring his every move, shout?, think they had better take a look around the rest of the leagues

     

     

    the sfa should be brought to task for this shit, bringing in managers for swearing has got to be the funniest thing I have heard this side of 30. I honestly feel the world has gone mad and we are now all living in planet pc were we need to make sure we don’t offend anyone at any time

     

     

    its an attack on the working class man

  24. GlassTwoThirdsFull on

    Pure waffle from Longmuir – surprise, surprise. Not answering a single question directly.

  25. Come on Peter you know it makes sense, get yourself on SSB and give it to them tight.

     

    How much more has our Manager to endure?

     

    How many times will we let this cabal walk all over us?

     

    Enough is enough.

     

    Stand up For Neil Lennon

     

    Stand up for Our Club.
