Neil Lennon **The Official Thread**

ha! you for real?
If someone came up to me like that when i was doing my job i'd feel threatened. You honestly think that's a good way to act? Especially when you have the media watching your every move? The media feed on this kind of pish but he constantly serves it to them on a plate. It's becoming ridiculous and i was honestly waiting for this to happen at the end. He didn't disappoint.

Should have been taking it up with the eleven bottlers that never turned up yesterday instead but according to him and Thomson they played well Great, more of the same like that, lads!

 

Exactly mate. You would also expect, with the amount of people that clearly have a problem with Celtic and Neil Lennon, that our support would fully unite against these clowns and back our leader. I do reckon that nearly all of the attending support yesterday were behind Neil Lennon but you wouldn't think it reading some posters views on here.

 

Some supporter you are.

 

I'll admit when I saw Neil marching towards the ref I thought "Uh oh, that might not be so smart" but after getting home from the game and seeing the incidents I can't blame Neil at all for doing what he did.

After all, refs simply ignore him when he does it politely (like after the 3-2 hun game) so what else was he supposed to do to get his point across?

The same people slagging Neil for being too "fiery" will be the same people who lamented Mowbray's "take it on the chin" attitude; some folks are just never * happy

 

Can you blame him? When he gets sectarian abuse for 10 years and told he should be big enough to take it? When he gets sent bombs and bullets in the post? When a referee can lie to him and the governing body try to cover it up? When he can be attacked on live TV and the fan who did it gets let off? Not to mention the disproportionate amount of refereeing decisions that go against us.

 

As the saying goes, just because he's paranoid it doesn't mean they are not out to get him".

 

Why are you acting like referee's are made of glass,they're grown men and should take criticism when they make appalling decisions,which seem to be on a regular occurrence against us,wish people would stop making excuse's for referee's.We never played that badly,just never took our chances,when we do have games like that is it too much to ask for the referees to get the big decisions correct??

 

Sorry guys but I disagree with alot of the people on here.

We lost yesterday because we weren't good enough and Lennon got his team selection wrong (why you would play loovens and wilson together I dont know).

Hoopers goal was offside, and no it wasnt a pen but it evens out.

Referees are human beings, they make mistakes, deal with it. If someone came screaming at you like that on the street would you like it? If he was gonna do something he should have done it in private not so that the media can take advantage of it and make us look like a club of thugs.

For me the problem is clear. We don't have enough experience or leadership in our team and we need quality in out defence not makeshift defenders who can play alrite in the SPL.

Alot of ppl on this site are going to hate me for what I've just said but so be it.

 

You'll find that most with these views don't go to the games.

 

And also Ki didn't score 2 golden opportunities. Oh wait the referee mustve distracted him and shone a light in his eye.

 

Yes Ki should have scored them goals and the one where he skied the ball,but hey he didn't and you're point is moot.And making statements like that is just disrespectful to everyone in this thread.

 

I hate that notion 'Oh it doesn't matter about the decisions as we should have scored 4 or 5 goals anyway'. What's that got to do with anything? It's a flawed concept. We don't have a right to beat Hearts comfortably everytime we play them ffs. There's going to be tight games and we lost because of a shocking decision, bottom line.

 

Its not the referees fault we lost. We did not take our chances.

If the referee was a hun, and was out there to get us, then why would he give us an offside goal? He could easily have called hooper offside if he wanted.

 

Joe ledley scored winner against huns that was a big game
we beat killie to clinch title that was a big game
we won sc that was a big game

 

It's the linesman who makes those calls, not the ref. Did you see ANY protests from Hearts players? No, because there was *-all in it.

 

by * Celtic fans are sooo fickle we used to rip into the huns for it by * we are getting worse ILWT GBNL

 

While I agree with Lennon on being dissapointed in the referee. He should be stopping and taking a breath and thinking things over before he runs on the pitch to question him. He should have waited and seen him in the tunnel.

Also, he should more have been critisicing of his players who bottled out on having a shot at goal. The players who cost us the game, NOT the referee.

The amount of times this play happened and made us predictible was unreal, pass around the midfield, back to defence, up the wing to the wideman, * cross.

 

and all the games we won to come back from a 15 point deficit to a 4 point advantage only reason they weren't big games is because the media had already written us off

 

last time he did that he got sent off

 

Killie wasn't a big game per say, considering we could've won it at Rangers and the title was in the bag regardless of where we won it. You have to agree, for every big win, there are 2 or 3 big game losses where the team look like a completely different side from previous games.

A lot of supporters at the game when I was leaving, and even a large majority on my supporters bus all had the same opinion that the staff and squad are showing signs of crumbling under pressure games.
