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.

Lennon n Mc….Mjallby, 16:29
One of them would be described as ‘Rangers Legned’…
I see I was a bit late with that post, hehehe.
What is surprising is that it’s come out. I wonder what we don’t know – yet.

Imagine if somebody who was celebrated in the Acottish press for working without a contract actually had no first contract but a big second contract. How my belly would burst with laughter.

The Special One and Sami Khedira performed their pre-match duties in Cyprus on Monday until a Radio Marca journalist asked the German midfielder a question Mourinho didn’t take kindly to.
Since Real Madrid’s controversial draw with Villarreal last week, the Los Blancos team and management have refused all post-match interviews both after the game with the Yellow Submarine and before and post the 5-1 victory over Real Sociedad on Saturday.
When the Radio Marca representative asked Khedira whether the Real Madrid players would speak after the Champions League quarter-final first leg with APOEL, the German looked over for guidance.
Mourinho simply got up, thanked the translator and walked off with Khedira also leaving seconds later

For anyone listening to Ch4 tonight to hear the SFA’s response on the UEFA licence it has to be consistent with the response given to a cqner that it was a tax bill but not overdue as deflined by the rules.
How it was not deemed overdue and why, in spite of it not being deemed so, it continued to be unpaid with SOs calling to enforce payment, no one thought to ask Rangers or Rangers did not inform the SFA why it was not being paid, is as a valid a question as how was it granted in the first place.
Oh dear, Rangers die-hard, greatest ever player and “honourary” director wasn’t just there to prop-up the boardroom bar and was actually involved in the tax ruse that has led the club to brink of liquidation?
Fortunately I had foreseen this scenario and kept a spare stash of jelly and ice cream tucked away in the kitchen.
Been out all day (in our beautiful sunshine). I haven’t read back but would I right in thinking from Paul67’s article that the MIBs have overreached themselves again in trying to down our manager. They haven’t played by their own rules yet again, by the sounds of it. How they must hate him.
The Honest Mistake, 6:42
That doesn’t narrow it down at all
This might sound completely illogical?
Whyte takes over and first acts are to remove the corrupt organisation that has let their club down, directors, true blues and greatest player.
Maybe this guy has the best interest of Rangers at heart?
Oh and his wallet!

I think you may be right
What’s this about captain blood and his bring about the ruin of the bankrupt lot? How wonderfully ironic, if true.

O G- Thanks for the updates HH.

It really is my pleasure. Really
I am convinced that Neil will get done because if not then Murray/Brines position will be untenable.
Cha may just get a reprieve but I suspect that his card will not be rescinded because it puts Murray in the position of having gifted a game to Ragers.
If I am proved to be wrong on both counts then the referee community, current and retired, will be talking boycotts. There may be whispers even before Neil’s panel is convened.
If I am proved to be wrong then my position will be untenable and I will desist from making further predictions, of course.

To be fair, the goat’s probably buggered (literally) after Sunday’s events…
Paul67 et al
Noticed on the SFA website that one of our top referees, Craig Thompson, was busy refereeing over in Quatar at the weekend, overseeing a league game. So not against the principle of then. Given the relative performances of Calum Murray, both last year and this, perhaps we should take this idea on board and request that for any future Celtic-Rangers matches (well one anyway) the referee could be from outwith Scotland. Preferably not from Egypt though, on the grounds that, according to some, freemasonry has its ancient roots there!

OGR – you are rousing me from my normal stupefied state with this stuff.
