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.

damned quick my man. Impressive. 1 virtual non alcoholic beer en route…
Line 1
make me a deal and make it straight.
Verse 5
throw me a line, I’m sinking fast.
It is clear to me the SPL/SFA are waiting on the FTTT decision to justify their if any action they take against them.
Im sure and will trust our board to ensure satisfactory sporting and financial penalties be imposed on them as a consequence of THEIR actions, despite what the ex captain from Florence has to say about it ,I wonder if his memories would be as good if HMRC took a personal action against all the beneficiaries of the scheme including him. Is this out of the question?
Twisty the wee Mhan will love it today, young Danny will be a Celt for life and I hope he has many great days wearing the hoops.
HH wee Danny

Roxy quotes for Rangers? Loads
“Who can sleep in this heat, this night
Both ends burning”.
For example
Clicked on The Scotsman link “Shift in Rangers Administartion….”, up comes a picture of Ibrox and on top of this a pop up ad “Looking for a new home?”
Neat!

googybhoy- I think it’s 1st April.
Yes indeed.
I also read that an.American multi,.multi, multi millionaire named Murdie Mc Purdie is buying Admin FC. He has £200 m to invest.
What day is it?
Vmhan
will do that.
I suppose I better go out and clean my car. People are visibly slowing their stride to look at it as they approach. I can see head shaking and can hear tutting…….
Fat Sally is, of course, correct. 140 years of history would not be wiped out, it would still exist the same as the history of Third Lanark still exists. What he doesn’t seem to grasp is that it would be the history of a former club and would have no link whatsoever to any “newco” should liquidation go ahead.
MJM.
Ciao.
Buona Domenica tutti .
Looks like liquidation is coming soon.
Are you prepared to accept a Newco Hun being parachuted into the SPL?
Are Celtic prepared to accept a Newco Hun being parachuted into the SPL ?
Decision time !.
Looking for a big improvement today -Celtic have been poor for weeks..
No to a SPL Parachute. No to any Newco that doesn’t have to bow , scrape and beg to be allowed to start at the very bottom .
Mate just texted to say he can’t make it today. Anyone interested in a ticket ?
Up for April, up for the Bhoys and up for the championship. :-)
Come on the Celts!
googybhoy- 1st April over the pond too!
Aye fat Sally, listen up, there is Airdrieonians and there is Airdrie United in the record books- 2 totaly different clubs. Get it?
Neil Lennon is ainm dom (nohunlover) on 1 April, 2012 at 09:48
That’ll be the same Steve Brown who likes singing Donald Findlay type songs in the hospitality lounge at McDiarmid park directed at well known local catholic businessmen, allegedly !

Morning all!
Sore heid today so some footy in the sunshine is the cure (oh and a comfortable win hopefully).
Whoever said April fools is for kids is wrong. It’s for big weans anaw.
Floating eyeball in the wife’s tea this morning – check.
Bogus phone call for the bhoy – check.
Just need to call the bhoys and organise lift to the match but someone has changed the language on my phone to cyrillic so I’m having trouble reading my contacts and messages! How did that happen? :-)

A song for Europe- Roxy Music- very fitting for Rangers fans !
Here as I sit
At this empty cafe
Thinking of you
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we’ll never
Find again
Though the world
Is my oyster
It’s only a shell
Full of memories
And here by the Seine
Notre-Dame casts
A long lonely shadow
Now – only sorrow
No tomorrow
There’s no today for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterday
These cities may change
But there always remains
My obsession
Through silken waters
My gondola glides
And the bridge – it sighs …
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we’ll never
Find again
There’s no more time for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterdays
Ecce momenta
Illa mirabilia
Quae captabit
In aeternum
Memor
Modo dolores
Sunt in dies
Non est reliquum
Vero tantum
Comminicamus
Perdita
Tous ces moments
Perdus dans l`enchantement
Qui ne reviendront
Jamais
Pas d’aujourd’hui pour nous
Pour nous il n’y a rien
A partager
Sauf le passé
My team for today would be
……………………….Forster
Matthews……Rogne…..Mulgrew……Izzy
…………………Brown…….Ledley
Forrest………………………………………Commons
………………………..Samaras
…………………….Hooper

BT is there any way you could use mine in 111, I can give you all the relevant details.
I normally leave it up the road so that someone can use it but I’ve have it in my wallet :>(

Good morning CQNers, suffering this morning from a wedding hangover, anything happen overnight? Watched the mothers game yesterday, cannot believe the way they defended, jockying all the time no hard tackles, Lasley got booked for nothing, and the lead up to the 2nd goal was a joke, schoolboy defending at best, last chance free kick looked promising until they tried to play the short one. Just watch the difference when we go there, nothing short of cheating imo.
Got to get to the bank quickstyle and get cargo for the bus, 3 points pleasr celts.
Hail Hail
BT
You meeting behind the Celtic end or Bar67 mate?
…of course, if the roles were reversed and it was Celtic who were to go through the financial mincer there would have been no end of willing and urgent members of the press eager to explain in forensic detail just what was about to happen,highlighting and dramatising each humiliating hurdle of the path to third division obscurity……………
Hell mend them.
I have it….. TAL
