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.

    Totally agree with.you .

     

    “Go and take long walk off a long pier”

     

     

    Was always a call to “wisen up”.

     

    In other words the water will wisen you up, if you are daft enough to walk that far.

     

    Never ever an inference if drowning.

  2. 'crushed nuts?' 'Naw, Layringitis!' on

    now that the dust has settled….scottish back pages are a catalogue of denial; Sone must be given a long term contract; another consortium bids on the strength of that victory; murray park youngsters will come to the for.

     

     

    Murray no longer has the SKy call centre deal, his last remaining business has been hived off. Did that make the MSM today? Nope!

     

     

    Murray tried to sell the Paris buns for four years, they won three the championships in those four years, there was no takers. in the end he gave it away, but the LL are asking us to believe that people are fighting each other to take on a £50M liability with no Europe next year, asbestos removal from the stadium, pension liabilities, a new squad, season ticket/catering/replica kit income going elsewhere and the prospect of CW proving difficult to deal with if he doesn’t get his £18M back…and there’s also the BTC leaving the future owners £50M out of pocket, plus the outcome of at least two inquries into player contracts and registration.

     

    But they beat Celtic on Sunday!!!!!

     

    they are going to sink like a whale’s jobby!

    I’ve noticed a few folk getting a bit upset by your usual 2-posting arrival on the blog. Don’t let them put you off. We all have our we habits, for examplymorning weather reportsfrom EK. And, apart from anything else, I very much like the sentiment!

    It is a measure of our superiority that they were so delighted (relieved) to win the game (against 9 men) …… They really were shoiting themselves after we scored our second goal…..LOL …!!!!!
