Neil Lennon **The Official Thread**

I'm sure the red cards would've been spared considering it was full time. This seems to be happening after every big game, refereeing problems.

 

what a lot of * we have won far more big games than we have lost

 

I am sure that wee hun wouldn't have sent him off just like callum murray doesn't matter wether it is half time or full time

 

If Lennon truly believes that referrees are biased towards Celtic then why dont the Club launch an independant investiagtion into refereeing decisions? They have the money to do it. Then they could truly expose them.

I just think this whole conspiracy is a farce.

Some referees are really poor. Bad decisions are given all the time, sometimes against us sometimes for us. It happens everywhere. The premiership...anyone watch the chelsea wigan game? Some people are just bad losers.

This is not a treble winning team, they aren't good enough yet and they wont be until they get some real quality in.

 

We won 20 games in a row over 5 months, none of them big games, no? Our biggest game of the season was the Old Firm in December, and we won that.

I'd simply put it down to Lenny getting his tactics wrong in the cups,certainly not helped by scandalous decisions though.

 

So because i don't * lick Lennon i'm not a worthy celtic supporter?
Sorry, didn't know i had to blindy follow everything he believes in.

I'm not acting like they're made of glass. I just don't think someone needs a fellow grown man running over to shout in his face.

 

also the ref can overrule the linesmans decision. If he really wanted to end Celtics chances of progressing so late in the game he could have called it if he wanted.

 

Why not wait until he has seen the replays and criticise on through letter or media statement after then? It's embarrasing when we are complaining about a late penalty not going our way when Hoopers goal is offside. Makes us look like we were desperate for the win and trying to blame everyone but ourselves and scraping the barrell.

 

You are wrong, the players AND the referee cost us the game. That is a fact. We may have won the game if it wasn't for that decision at the end.

I'm sure Neil Lennon would have been critical of his players as well.

 

Very rarely do you see that, it's not the refs job. It would have been * ridiculous if he did that because there was *-all in it, would be impossible to call from where Norris was too. It was barely offside, hence why not one of the players called for it.

 

Killie "was" a big game because we had a stadium full of expectant fans and everyman and his dog willing us to slip up, i agree we are inconsistent, but as i said in another post we are a young inexperienced side and with the right trimming and additions will only improve, Lenny will get us there i'm sure of it

 

I think its embarrassing the amount of * ref apologist we have and why should he have to make a statement through the media he would still be punished for it also no other manager would be sent to the stands or sent off for talking to a ref in the tunnel so why him no other manager would be denied the opportunity to talk to the ref after a game yet lennon was explain why that happened time some of our fans wake the * up and stop apologizing for these wee cretins who constantly * up

 

Oh dear, a game to win the title isn't a big game.

Hearing it all now.

Are things only a big game when we lose now?

 

Ok. He gave us an offside goal but because of a late penalty given and not being given he cost us the game. Referees make mistakes in every game.

Some of our support are scared to have their own opinion because if we don't believe that the referees have a secret lodge meeting plotting agendas against Celtic then we are 'Some supporter'.

Once again I refer back to my arguement in a previous thread where I can't recall a time we took a defeat with dignity instead of blaming someone.

 

Okay lads i apologise. I should have put my green glasses on to watch the game. I just watched it back on TV because I recorded it when I was at the game. I see that the referee took has sash off and kissed the grand masters ring in the anti-celtic agenda room before kick off and cost us the game.

* the SFA and the anti-celtic agenda. You are all correct, our last 8-9 losses in the SPL have been because of the referee. We are immune to having a bad performance. It's the referees fault. Hail hail for not having a different opinion.

 

If the ref was a hun, there was a conspiracy and he wanted Celtic out, he could easily have given it and said he thought it was offside and he could see it from where he was. It wouldnt matter about players calling for it etc but he is not a hun and there is no conspiracy, he is just a * ref and the fact that so many ppl here dont see that baffles me.

It is * refereeing, not a conspiracy. Its no shock that the standard is so bad, who would want to be a ref in Scotland with the ammount of abuse they get from everywhere. When I go to a game all I hear is the ref getting abuse.

 

Some of our support are scared to have there own opinion

Ian Black shouldn't have been on the pitch, he attacked Joe Ledley. No getting away from that, then he delibrately handballs it a couple of minutes later. What happened?

The 'offside' goal. Read the rules, if they're even or any doubt in the referees mind then the attacker is to get the benifit. So technically a correct decision going by the rulebook because it was * close.

The penalty shouldn't have been a penalty and if it was then the almost identical incident with Webster a minute later should be a penalty.

Now where in that is there a good refereeing performance? Where in that is the decisions evening out?

It's bollocks.

 

Turn your flag white and we will believe you :icon_mrgreen:

 

The offside decision was marginal. The hand ball was 100% wrong and I believe it was a dishonest decision. There is no way you can give that decision to Hearts.


The forum is all about opinions. Nobody is scared IMO, there's plenty of different opinions. That's the reasons we are going round in circles.

We can take defeat with dignity, of course we can. Europe this year, there is an example for those with a short memory. We were pretty satisfied with most of our performances and thought it just came around a little too quickly for our new squad.

We should have buried Hearts but that doesn't take away the fact we were robbed out of a chance to go the the final by the referee.
