Neil Lennon unlikely to have a case to answer

898

The SFA are entitled to ask Neil Lennon to explain his conduct at Ibrox on Sunday but I doubt he has a case to answer.  Neil accepted a warning during the first half from fourth official, Iain Brines, for contesting the decision to send off Cha Du-Ri, Brines did not regard this protest as sufficient to call the over referee.  Neil then spoke to referee Calum Murray at the end of the first half without incident or caution.

Murray clearly did not regard Lennon’s comments as worthy of dismissal from the technical area at that time and was did not call Neil to the referees’ room during the interval.  It was left to fourth official Iain Brines to deliver the news to the Celtic manager that he was ordered from the technical area.

Murray and Brines appear to have let the occasion get the better of them.  A referee must be clear in his mind before ordering a manager from the technical area and must take the correct steps necessary in doing so.  He cannot mutter a statement of intent to caution a manager without actually doing so.

    Rather than try to sign Aluko we should maybe give Ibrahim a run in the team. Or McGeoch.

  2. !!Bada Bing!! on

    Kayal 33- I hope Ibrahim,Brozek can get a run when league is wrapped up.Hopefully Izzy and possibly Kayal can get some game time .HH.

    BTW

     

     

    Did Aluko get booked for standing on the advertising horeding after scoring on Sunday?

     

     

    No I was going nuts when I seen it

  5. Why wait till leagues won? Give these guys a game now. Let’s see how they do in games we need to win n not when pressures off. Talking of new midfielders how bout bringing Stan Petrov back, sure I read his contracts up at end of season. Surely worth a try??

  6. twists n turns on

    What made you think he might get booked? He was wearing blue = automatic exemption!

  7. If the press have their way and ole Niki Jelavic wins player of the year ( yes remember him he’s a contender) will this mean Ragers get to win something?

     

     

    * all wrapped up in November *

    Couldn’t agree more, Get this wrapped up asap.

     

     

    Give lads like Zaluska, Blackman, Fraser, Twardzik twins, Ibrahim, McGeouch, Paul George and a few more the chance.

     

     

    Anyone else think of others that are on the brink of first team games when we wrap it up?

  9. Just reading james mccleans tweet to those abusing him for declaring for the republic…

     

     

    “Thats just not nice you almost made me choke on my jelly and ice cream. Let it go sadact..im off to watch Celtic win the league..”

     

     

    Legend!

    I’m pretty sure Fojut will be first choice CB next season. He is very strong in the air and dominating player. He likes to be the leader. You probably remember that I never liked Majstorovic. Fojut is as strong as Majstorovic is. He is much better in contribution. What I did not like in Majstorovic was headers and kicks away, anywhere. Fojut is smarter in contributions, can do better passes. He is hooligan like Boruc but not crazy hooligan. I would sometimes claim if his positioning is the best (similar to Majstorovic). This season Fojut made two very stupid mistakes. First when let the playr win the fight, cought him and got yellow. That should be red for him. Two weeks ago he was suspended for two games for elbowing the player in the chest when the ball was away. The player provoked him. Canal Plus cameras recorded that foul and he was suspended after the game.

  11. Comments you WILL hear /see accepted on phone-ins with no challenge and read in the Main Stream Media :

     

     

    1 ) “Ranger better team / won fair and square” ( imbalance or perceived injustice not taken into account / hardly mentioned 9 versus 11 for large majority of game.)

     

     

    2) “Celtic and fans always complaining about the refs”

     

     

    3) “Rangers dont complain about refs, they have no dignity (Celtic / Neil Lennon)”

     

     

    4) “Neil Lennon problem with officials no dignity”

     

     

     

    Contrast and compare.

     

     

     

    Comments you will NEVER hear / see accepted on phone-ins or read in the Main Stream Media.

     

     

    1) “Celtic better team / won fair and square” (with Rangers playing the majority of the game with 9 men this would always be fully taken into account as an imbalance or perceived injustice)

     

     

    2) “Rangers and fans are always complaining against the refs” (we are now tarred permanently with the ref problem)

     

     

    3) Celtic don’t complain about the refs, they have no dignity (Rangers / McCoist / Smith)

     

     

    4) “Ally McCoist / Smith problem with officials no dignity”

     

     

    Yes compare and contrast – we are now seen as always blaming refs / not showing dignity and any perceived imbalance / injustice true or otherwise will be ignored or played down.. Rangers on the other hand are now seen as referee friendly have loads of dignity and any perceived imbalance / injustice true or otherwise will be fully taken on board by the Main Stream Media. This is called “putting you in your place and accept you will never be the establishment team”. The sooner we leave this permanent situation the better for the team and the fans. The media have been dragged kicking and screaming into having to expose the establishment teams illegal financial dealings and that has been done mainly by Celtic minded people, another reason to dislike us and another reason why we should leave this permanent setup asap.

  12. Evening bhoys, hun free as ever.

     

     

    Zbyszek

     

     

    I have seen a fair bit of Fojut since he signed for us.

     

     

    IMO, he is a quality CB, superb in the air and can tackle, he will do for me.

  13. I forgot to say another important reason Fojut is good player. He plays for Slask Wroclaw but is Legia Warsaw supporter. Everybody knows that here. I doubt Majstorovic is Legia supporter.

    Pupils were doing Maths.

     

     

    Right weans, if there’s 216 votes and Charlie Mulgrew got so many of them, what % of the total is this?

     

     

    See, that’s REAL teaching my friend :-))

  15. googybhoy

     

     

    ‘He lived and played in England for years and was never a hate figure. You wotrk it out.’ – YEAH!!!!

     

     

     

    He was liked and respected , I think I even remembert here was an article on MOTD about him.

  16. ElDiegoBhoy

     

     

    I think that “Happy New Year” stood in your email that you sent me yesterday. You can send me Happy New Year next time :-)

     

     

    Our Basset Hound will be 1 year old next Saturday. My lades are going to celebrate that day. They told me about preparations for Bow Wow Bat Mitzvah. Happy Bow Wow Bat Mitzvah is also some possibility.

  17. St Mirren and the huns…

     

    I reckon wee Craigie Whyte sent his right hand man over to St Mirren to see what a diddy club pay their diddy players.

     

    After all he doesn’t want to get ripped off when he starts his diddy newhunco does he.

     

    Stupid Hurting Huns!!

  18. THE EXILED TIM

     

    I don’t know if Fojut is suspended for the next game. Slask will play on Sunday against Polonia Warsaw. If he is going to play he will have a lot of work. Good game to watch Fojut in action.
