Ex-ref taunts Neil Lennon with ‘explodes’ remark

1244

I think I live in a different world than some people.  In my world the manager of Celtic has endured an incredibly stressful month.  Yesterday he would have dealt with news from a serious criminal trial after a bomb was sent to him.

Today he is being taunted in a newspaper by a former referee who suggests he “explodes at the side of a park”.  Even for a former SFA official, this is astonishingly poor taste.  The article goes on to betray enormous hostility towards Neil Lennon and, for reasons which appear opportunistic, Peter Lawwell.

Our manager will get through these difficult weeks and will hopefully never have to endure such stresses again.  SFA officials, current or past, cannot meaningfully lay a glove on him.  He can pay their fines and will continue to manage a winning Celtic team.

  1. Just watched theGalloway v the Senate comittee,loved the way they tried to tie him down to a yes or no answer.

     

     

    NOT GOING TO HAPPEN

  2. Who is the Daddy of the uncle Tim- Walker or Nicholas…Provan or Burley…feck theyre all as bad as each other in ma book.

     

     

    One thing you can say about that mob: they stick together like kack. Why do so many ex-Celts turn into such jumbo kingsized bampots when they go into the MSM.

  3. Firstly Wish Sillian Petrov a full and speedy recovery.

     

     

    Secondly A Thompson go on yerself big man.

     

     

    Thirdly “Trolololololololo” is now stuck in my head and won’t leave. Beer required to wipe out the cells containing that memory, now thats a plan I can live with.

    You mad matey they have no shame.

     

     

    I wouldn’t be surprised if MSM, the SPL/SFA knew about all of this before Alex’s revalations.

  5. I wonder how all round good egg (copyright speirs and Kevins) and the best administrator in Scottish footballl since Jim Farry will feel tonight knowing that Bain knew McLelland knew even big ham n Egg knew but they all kept all this tax stuff from him.

     

     

    I just hope the telly bampots(It was Ch4 after all) dont start jumping to the wrong conclusion that

     

     

    a) he either did know

     

    or

     

    b) He was the worst administrator in history.

     

    That would be wrong he is a nice man you know.

     

     

    How do I put “I am Campbell Ogilvie” in my moniker to show my support..

    David Coleman quotes is it?

     

     

    ‘The big Cuban opened his legs and showed his class’

     

     

    As Alberto Juantorena – nicknamed ‘El Caballo’ (the horse) for his muscular appearance and nine-foot stride – powered to 400m and 800m gold medals in Montreal, Coleman began his fine foot-in-mouth tradition with this observation.

  8. Wonder what the Milan legends will think of the Hun celebratory songbook ala Kilmarnock at the Cesspit? No doubt everybody who isn’t a fan will be wearing their ear mufflers again.

     

     

    Are AC the protestant Milan club?

    If the MSM didn’t know about it, they will tell us they did!

     

     

    You are right though, they have no shame and will just tough it out.

  11. wonkyradar

     

     

    I’d excuse Burley and Provan as they were probably always huns. I’d excuse Nicholas cos he’s a thicko so Walker carries the can for me.

  12. Who needs tax when you can star in your own porn film?

     

     

    On yerself Baxie…incidentally did you see him reading his own books wae that big licks look oan his fizzer?

    The reports keep refering to “this century”.

     

    The 9iar was achieved in 1997 – Celic stopped 10iar in 1998.

     

    How will they lose the 9iar then? Were there proved cases pre-1997 as well?

     

     

    Alasdair MacLean- SPL can only investigate back to 1998 as that’s when the league was formed; any investigation pre-1998 would be the responsibility of the SFL, and they have shown absolutely no inclination as yet to get involved. This may change depending on the outcome of the SPL investigation.

    Was at a meeting at work today and present was a rare beast indeed – a St Johnstone fan who was there in 1998 when we beat them 2-0 to stop the 10.

     

     

    He said it was, and still remains, the most incredible atmosphere he has ever experienced at a game of football.

    Your points are on the money.

     

    The thing about tonight’s story, not least that it’s the first time it’s been so clearly presented to a UK audience, is that it has now established a firm foothold that will allow all the other related aspects to be brought into touching distance. It has also shown a willingness to stay the distance.

     

    More to come, certainly

    Don’t get too excited everyone, I’m sure Shug Keevins will tell us tomorrow that Channel 4 are just a bunch of Bampots!

  19. Very sad about Stan.

     

    He was certainly a hunskelper. I’ll always remember his delight after scoring the second in the 6 2 win.

     

    You feel even more for Neil Lennon. Does he ever get a day without some major bad news?

  20. ElDiego:

     

     

    Right on. I agree.

     

     

    Walker is turning into a right turn coat “judas for hire” type. Except that smooth soft “I’m so fair minded” voice seems to make it worse.

     

     

    Why can’t ex Celts show some balls?

     

     

    Say what you like about MacAvennie he just tells it like it is and so does big Hartson.

    “How will they lose the 9iar then? Were there proved cases pre-1997 as well?”

     

     

    Former Rangers director Hugh Adam has admitted in at least two interviews that the Huns were using EBTs in the mid-1990s. David Murray has not threatened any legal action over the claims – that tells its own story.

     

     

    Lorenzo Amoruso admitted yesterday he was aware of EBTs when he was at the club. He signed for the Huns in 1997.

     

     

    That is why they will lose their tainted nine and every other trophy they conned in the past 15 years,.

    Shouldn’t be difficult for them to work out who squeeled. ‘ok bears, who didn’t get paid out’ oops!! No stopping this now. They’d better have built a massive bunker under the sh*tdome to fit them all in although I’m sure HMP Barlinnie will be more than welcoming! Must be a right few bored bhoys lying in wait for them.

    For all his faults Galloway is the most compelling, persuasive politician of his generation. Never seen or heard him beaten in a debate!!!

  27. Sparkleghirl,

     

     

    not telling (or not wanting to know) is par for the course as regards sports journalism in this country where one team is concerned anyway.

     

    Now that things are out in the open, they will tell us they knew but couldn’t (more likely wouldn’t) say.

    =============================

     

    I was in the StJ enclosure with my future brother in law who is English and doesn’t really support anyone. It was a case of being able to get tickets through my Saints-supporting family. He still talks about that day and the session afterwards … I think we found our way to McChuils but then my memory goes a bit wierd.
