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.

    Sorry just back on and saw your post.

     

     

    Are you having a laugh because if you are I don’t find it remotely amusing.

     

     

    I never have, never would and never will suggest something like that to anyone and find your inference abhorrent.

  2. Aunt Sally may well ‘bask’, it is as close to success as he will ever get as rangers manager.

    Hope Alistair continues to deliver this season’s level of “success” for the very short time I reckon he has remaining in management.

     

     

    That does sadden me. Thems can’t bring in anyone worse than him.

    On realplayer, when you play any recordable content, a box comes up asking if you want to download it.

     

    I only tried with the first song, just to see, and it worked ok, i don’t usually download anything was just curious.

     

    Don’t know if you have to do it one song at a time on that site or can record the lot at once, didn’t delve too far.

    I was very surprised by Awe Naw comment.

     

     

    I would expect that you would be one of the last bhoys on here to make any such remark.

     

     

    Did not see your original post but would lay long odds on you saying what has been accused.

  11. Any Orc who asks about Celtic and referees ask it for a site —anywhere–that lists referee decisions aganst Rangers. Then ask it if there are any on Celtic. The place is coming down with them.

  12. BT,thought you might have been going to the fives,would have been good to get a beer,i am the fat cat coming out of retirement

  13. googybhoy, 2012

     

    Fabulous – the ref runs over from about 10 yards away and taps his arm to tell him to get up. A sharp reminder he’s not in Scotland any more

    I really appreciate that mate thank you.

     

     

    Awe Naw is referring to my post to Kev jungle yesterday where I told him to take a long walk off a short pier.

     

    His implication is that I was suggesting that Kev commit suicide. That is most certainly not the case and I’m disgusted that he would believe such. It’s a phrase I’ve used and heard for many years which is a polite way of saying f$$$ off. I believe there may be an ulterior motive for his post.
