They want to get rid of him

‘They’ want to get rid of him.  Not all of them, by any measure, I’ve seen Neil Lennon welcomed as an old friend by some whose allegiances lie a long way from Celtic Park, but to some he represents an opportunity to indulge in the kind of prejudice which was once widely accepted in Scotland.

In this instance I’m not talking about the idiot football fans, there are lots of idiot football fans, just waiting for an opportunity to present their credentials.  You can meet them wearing any colours.  The people who showed their true colours today were in charge of stewarding guests at Tynecastle – and Neil Lennon was a guest.

It’s a horrible place.  The day the flats are built cannot come soon enough. I expect a robust response from Aberdeen, as well as life bans. I expect nothing from Hearts.

  1. Graham Spiers, what is he all about? Listen to radio Scotland on i player. ” why is Neil hated, is it because he was part of a successful Celtic team? Is it because he was O Neil’s captain?Could it be because he sticks up for himself?” No one on Radio Scotland would say the real reason Neil is constantly victimised, he is a catholic from the North of Ireland. The way he has been treated since coming to Scotland is an absolute disgrace. Who would blame him if he left us now?

  2. What can you say about this which has not already been said. I am afraid to say that it’s a very sad indictment of Scottish and British society as a whole…and I am embarrassed and sickened by this madness. It is a sickness which runs the length and breadth of this Country. I think NL deserves the upmost respect and admiration for all the Shite that he has had to put up with.

     

    I hope that the scum who did this are not given life bans but prosecuted to the full extent of the law…

     

    One last thing to say Roll on the flats
