    I’d have to agree with him here. ‘Shoot the board’, just * stupid. They guys who made that banner were probably the same morons filmed singing that song about Rodgers when we were at Tyncastle the day after he left. I agree with the banners as a whole, but any of them that insinuate violence need to go.

    Never would I have thought that Neil * Lennon would be a snowflake *.


    Seemingly the term "metaphor" is completely * lost on people.

    It was not shoot lawwell or shoot Desmond etc, it was a metaphorical shoot the board, as in kill this board off, not as individuals, as a governing group on the club.

    If that needs explained to folk, then really the real world isn't for you.

    If you believe that banner was actually insinuating violence, maybe take a wee step back. Neil included

    Surely, “sack the board”, “get rid of the board” or “get the board to *” would suffice then no? Metaphor or not, it’s a stupid choice of words.

    You can be arrested and charged for incitement ...

    Not sure about ‘insinuation’ .. courts would be rather busy if it were the case.


    insinuate

    /ɪnˈsɪnjʊeɪt/

    verb
    1. 1.
      suggest or hint (something bad) in an indirect and unpleasant way.
      "he was insinuating that Lenny had no management skills."

      incite
      /ɪnˈsʌɪt/

      verb
      1. encourage or stir up (violent or unlawful behaviour).
        "they conspired to incite riots outside Celtic Park."

    You can see in about 5 years he’ll be doing an interview somewhere and he’ll give it “I didn’t want it to end the way it did, it was regrettable, but I truly thought I could turn it around”.

    Not only is he useless with the players he’s actually doing Lawwell’s bidding, he should see aswell as us that he’s in this position because of the * he’s sticking up for.

    NL: The atmosphere is good today. The players are looking forward to the game. We all want success and the team to play the vibrant football we know they can.”


    NL: “We want to use the squad tomorrow and freshen things up. Hopefully it’ll be the start of a good week, and a good run. We will endeavour to do everything we can to turn things around.”

    NL: “The players are certainly feeling it and disappointed. For anyone to accuse any of our players for not understanding or not caring is way off the mark.”

    NL: “We are hoping we go and put in a good performance tomorrow against Lille and then we take it from there. We are looking forward to all the games this month.”

    NL: “I’ve got belief in the players. I’ve been back here almost two years and they’ve been fantastic. I have no doubt they’ll put a run together but we have to put those words into action.”

    NL on injuries: “Bitton, Elhamed and Ntcham are all major doubts for tomorrow.


    NL on #CELLOSC: “We are looking at Klimala, Turnbull, Soro getting game time which they deserve and need with the run of games coming up. It’s ideal to give them an opportunity to play.”

    Lennon would be better contemplating the reason why we're seeing mass protests from the support, rather than focusing on the wording of a specific banner outside the ground.

    When all is said & done and he eventually leaves he will have tarnished his reputation.

    It does need explained to be honest as it's not clear at all.

    It's meant to be a nod to an old banner which had rifles on it. Which I still don't get :39:or was that a metaphor too?

    It's the weirdest metaphor ever if it was.

    Pretty sure you referred to them as ‘lazy’ and ‘lacking hunger’ in recent weeks, you utter buffoon

    It's fairly obvious (one would hope) that the banner was a facetious one in reference to the one of the 90's.

    Thing is, this isn't '94, and it's very outdated.

    Silly thing to put up, and gives Mr. Lennon and his pals on the board a platform to deflect.

    Another battle they've clearly won...

    His comment that ‘the majority of our fans want success’ is odd, borderline offensive

    Get to * Neil

    Always thought when Lenny got the job he'd be a puppet for the Board, for me dangerous is when you allow a clueless and deluded manager to continue in the job, knowing full well that this is damaging to the club.
