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.

Looks like your good lady has been diagnosed early…
Believe me (Been There) she will be back to her old self before you know it…
God Bless…
Got a wee football joke from my grandson today. Wanna hear a football joke?? Rangers.
Jude – you’ve got blinkers on….tell me which Celtic forwards continually try to make space while we’re in possession, drag defenders around and track back when we lose possession?

Not a man of religion but a big believer in the power of positive thinking.
My thoughts are with you and your wife.

1. Did Big John Greig do a Big John Greig last night with the C4 revelations?
2. In Donegal…. left the Bolly in Scotland…this week they go BOOM? If so, a wee Prosecco & Guinness chaser will do
3. Easter W/E – a great time to become CHAMPIONS
4. Thomthetim – if in Sharkeys, I will say hello! Under the TV at the lounge bar?

I’m usually to be found perched on a bar stool at the end of the lounge bar. Will look out for you.
Went to a Christening a couple of weeks ago (Roman Catholic) and then on to the local masonic hall for the reception….
Tomorrow I have been invited to a Christening in the Church (Protestant) and then on to the only Catholic club in Gourock…Strange day’s….
the long wait is over, 23:49
I had thanks. It’s certainly a part of it though there may be other directions to go in in the coming weeks.
Tricoloured Ribbon – was it definately a stroke, has she been tested for any auto-immune conditions such as Hughes Syndrome? Lady I know lost sight in one eye briefly and was diagnosed with this condition which causes thickening of the blood.

You are all fantastic people.Thanks..

It will be interesting to see if Thomson introduces the wider political dimension, its not as if he has not been nudged in that directrion ;)
I’ve been in a strange melancholy mood today, listening to Liam Clancy singing Willie McBride, Waltzing Matilda, etc.
I just listened to this

So to get away from myself, I think I’ll go to Oran More for a pint.

God bless Bridie.
I know a few friends who have been down that road and are in good nick now. Sounds as though it was caught early which is crucial.
Thoughts are with you

Jon Daly. No H !!

Very interesting. I admire all of those who have stuck with this whole sorry state of affairs and pushed to get the story out. from Paul67 to RTC to Phil to Mark at the BBC and now Alex at C4 news they deserve all the credit and will hopefully get recognition in the future.
Auld Neil Lennon heid, 00:04
The appeal is that it is so, so much more than a sport’s story or a business story but it has to have a focus.
TCR – thoughts are with you and your family at this time.
My own wife has had a few health set backs in recent times and I have found it comforting to know that others were looking out, even in thought alone, for her.
Hail Hail
Ian Harte still doin the biz for Reading. We shld have signed him yonks ago.
Could be a tough game against St J.
They gave us a hard game earlier in the season
and by all accounts are playing well.
Not a foregone conclusion.
We need to be at our best.
Rascar C
Saw Eric Bogle live in Rothesay a couple of years ago- No Man’s Land and Waltsing Matilda were highlights of a great performance.
Oran Mor- take it your a Wet End guy
Hail hail
Tommy Twists,
Def a stroke.She has glaucoma in the eye and the scan confirmed blockage in the neck arteries.Hospital admitted her immediately on Wednesday.
Sorry RCA – should read ‘West End’ guy
Gord 64

Is that your hunch or hope or just speculation re Jon Daly? I think we should have taken a punt on Jason Roberts when he left Blackburn, Celtic supporter apparently

Celticbhoy, 00:08
Without this blog and the others you mention this wouldn’t have been on Channel 4 last night. But now that it has the interest from other media outlets will grow and this game only ends one way.
There’s a book in this, believe me
Tricoloured Ribbon,
Candle and prayer for you and your other half tomorrow.
Stay strong, you’re needed
TJ
Jude
Indeed the boys from the fair city gubbed us.
But not tomorrow.

Aye, bottom of Crow Road.
Taxi to Oran Mor, valuable drinking time disappearing…
Gordon 64,Ok son,you are right.This is far from a foregone conclusion.
All out attack needed here.
