A line has hopefully been drawn under the stress Neil Lennon has lived under during the last two years with the conviction of two men found guilty of sending bombs in the post. In a statement, Neil said: This has been a very stressful and difficult time for myself and my family and clearly I am glad that it is over”, before adding, “I will forever be thankful to the Police for the way in which they have handled this matter.”
Celtic chief executive, Peter Lawwell, added: “No one could imagine the pressure [Neil Lennon] has been under during the past two years. He has coped with this particular episode, last year’s assault and the, at times, seemingly unrelenting attacks from many quarters.
“In my opinion, no-one in Scottish footballing history has had to contend with this level of pressure whilst trying to do their job. Neil Lennon is someone who has shown tremendous character and resilience, and we will continue to support Neil in any way we can.”
This month has been made all the more difficult for Neil Lennon by the sudden death of Paul McBride, also a target of the bombing campaign. Neil Lennon said, “Finally, I would like to mention my good friend Paul McBride. His sad passing remains very raw to those close to him, we continue to miss him dearly and my thoughts remain very much with Paul’s family.”
The SFA have written to Neil Lennon three times since the start of the trial earlier this month to capitalise on perceived transgressions by the Celtic manager while yesterday a former referee used his newspaper column to undermine Neil’s position at Celtic.
These people really do need to get a grip.
Within minutes of the verdict being announced yesterday news of Stilian Petrov’s serious illness was made public. Stilian will received the very best medical attention and all our prayers.

Honest tom ,you’re that German officer on dad’s army
Don’t tell im Pike.
James Edward McGrory – I believe it was Milen Petkov, we didn’t sign him though, he came for a trial at the same time as Petrov.
Evening bhoys, a hun free mountain as ever.
Unlike the blog I see, can’t get the head round a hun coming on to the blog and expend their energy while their club are dying, just shows how really thick they are.
Good day at the bookies, hoping for a good day tomorrow, the SAmerican football has been good to me.
seanbhoy69,
I don’t agree. You’re probably just misguided somewhat. Don’t be too hard on yourself.
The current rumour is that its Wednesday for the fall of the house of goat fiddlers- seems to be coming from inside their coven

Looked at that forum. We’ve been waiting for liquidation since mid Feb. Is it really going to happen this week? Liquidation and winning the league both for the long weekend?
Somewhere in the last few weeks someone suggested they might die Good Friday and be ressurected as newco a few days later. Let’s hope the stone on their tomb cannot be shifted ;)
Neil Lennon should have no Football stress.
He is the man who leads a very young team to the Championship, a Man who despite media phish has from inside football and out side it has remained clam, fur funk saaake he has done well. I dont agree with some of his tactics but Im the same age as him and Ive got heighnsite involved in that opinion. He shouldNT have changed the team for the muck, but can see his thoughts, but he shat it against the muck, again.

I can feel your pain.
Don`t worry though as it will all soon be over.
If EBTs are loans. Is it not possible for the Administrators to ask for all the recipients to pay them back ? Would surely get more money than they would for selling cheap flags and holding a so called charity match
Ally McCoist?
I think he’s a really interesting case. I’ve no doubt that in person he’s a personable , pleasant guy with a genuine “cheeky chappy” personality.
I’m also more than prepared to accept at face value that his grief at TB’s funeral reflected genuine loss of a guy who he would have considered a friend and vice versa.
Having said all of that , his time as manager of Rangers has revealed a less pleasant , to say the least , side of that personality , at least as far were concerned. If you’re being charitable you can argue that’s a natural result of his obligations as manager of our biggest rivals but it seems to be more personal than that.
Perhaps it’s a degree of inexperience or the pressures but there’s no doubt to my mind that his plus points ( eg his support in the past of SCIAF) are being undermined by his more recent actings – his behaviour at the “shame game” and his cheap publicity stunt for the TV cameras last week immediately come to mind.
These are hardly the acts of a man who personifies dignity , as he tries so hard to do.

If you’re suggesting that the dreary litany of uncle Tims on MSM are sleepers working clandestinely for Celtic then you must have lost touch with an important phase of reality.
That was above and beyond tosh.
Now chaps – you’re all being a bit harsh on this new bhoy
As the guys on the Guardian’s football podcast were saying yeasterday when reviewing a book by Kevin McCarra about CFC – that it would be good primer for people like yer man here – who will soon be looking for a new team to support!

I heard and posted earlier this week that I’d heard , fairly authoratitively, that this wednesday was D day for the big tax case.
I see yesterday that d and p want final offers in from the short listed players by Wednesday also.
Might be coincidental but very well might not be.
Fox that’s playing with southhampton is that the one that played with us.

…..and you should have seen his behaviour today……. Even worse than alturd at his worst …… At one point during one of his many outbursts, he shouted at the 4th official “Feckin’ Sh@te” ……… We will have ANOTHER example, if he is not ‘hauled up’ before the beaks on those outbursts…..

No, because the loans were made by the trustees of the EBT trust, not by the huns themselves, so D&P have no sayin the matter.
And because there are probably letters kicking about saying the loans would never be called up.
I think the 100 pennies have dropped…

The best suggestion so far is paying someone to hack into the bank accounts of MBB, cleaning him dry and then turning up with his money as a new bidder.
Thanks for that Ernie. Would loved to have seen some
Huns getting asked to pay it back. Bunch of cheats.

P.S. Lurking huns next time you take the field you will be the ex spl champs GIRFUY! Wonder how the atmosphere at bigot dome will be at 3pm next saturday ;-)

Terrible news about Stilian Petrov. Here’s to a speedy recovery.
On the subject of Stilain, can anyone tell me the name of the other player we signed at the same time as Petrov, it’s been annoying me all day, I keep getting the name petkov in my head but not 100% sure.
hail hail
How about Bobby Petta? I seem to remember them both being poor under John Barns but turning around under Martin. Bobby didn’t last the pace.

”Ally McCoist?”
He’s one of those individuals who needs to be liked by those around him, so he’ll adjust his behaviour to fit in, to be popular.
People like that are affable types, but you can never trust them, because they’ll always be prepared to compromise whatever they belive in just to be popular.
He’s weak.

That’s the crux of the matters Letters will have been provided saying that the “loans” will never be called in.
Does anyone really believe that players and agents will not have insisted on such a guarantee?
You would assume the definition of a loan is something that will be given back. If its not a loan then it should be classed as a gift and most gifts in business are either taxable to the giver or the recipient.
Honest tim,
i asked you a few times recently and never got a reply,what do you think the
future holds for RFC(IA),lets see if you can bring yourself to type the big
L word

Great goal celebration Stan. Legend.

I have been led to believe it won’t be until after Easter
O.G. Rafferty
Is there much more Alex can put out there do you reckon?
At what point does a journalist such as him say he’s done his bit and let things flow naturally?

MSM have unwittingly conspired to bury rangers but continue to peddle the same garbage. The reason is that the average hun will only buy good news about rangers and/or bad news.about Celtic.
Paper sales fall in Scotland when headlines hurt the huns. They are destined for perpetual BS and will never know what it’s like to truly be Champions. :))))
Rico
67 heaven. Didn’t see today. I doubt theyll go into liquidatn before the btt Btw who is alturd?
Ernie lynch. Spot on re Mccoist
OG rafferty. Heard that last night in the c4 piece. Your sources are clearly solid gold so I’ll happily bow to your information. Incidentally my rumour also suggested a middling result partly to avoid hmrc being blamed for any resultant liquidation. You hearing anything on that ?
Tlwio
So if we beat St Johnstone and Kilmarnock we’ll be champions, i wonder how much media coverage our feat will engender from the scottish media if the cheating bigots team are liquidated on wed/thurs/fri of this coming week ? If the anti-Celtic SFA can, they will have Neil Lennon sitting in the directors box at Rugby park, he should take a seat in amongst the away support instead, just as he should have done in the Broomloan at Ayebrokes last week !
Or is there an SFA rule against that ?
Ooops forgot the SFA don’t enforce all their rules .
