Recommended Posts

Yep.

And that penalty save cost me £40. <_<

Had a few quid on a 1-0 win for Celtic.

He's just been smacked by a Hearts fan. Disgusting.

He should take all 11 players off the pitch, and stick two fingers up to Scottish Football.

What exactly happened?

From BBC Sport:

2059: Okay... that was frantic... Now I have a chance to tell you that after Celtic scored their second, someone jumped out of the Hearts near the away dugout, and ran to attack Celtic boss Neil Lennon. The person was quickly dragged away by police. Lennon, understandably looked a little shaken. Thankfully he looked unhurt. Disgusting behaviour. Unfortunately, no doubt THAT is the incident which will overshadow any football played tonight.

2111: I am advised by the BBC's Scotland correspondent James Cook that the police match commander at Tynecastle will be making a statement following that attempted attack on Celtic manager Neil Lennon by someone form the Hearts crowd.

Thanks.

I did turn the TV over when I saw your post, but the reporter didn't say anything.

Its disgraceful, when will people draw the line. About time Lennon joined the staff at Leicester.

I'd rather have Marlon King.

I bet that post goes down well - ah well, I've got enough friends.

I really do feel for Lennon.

He's at his boyhood club and must be wondering whether it's worth it when his physical well-being, even his life, has been endangered in the job.

It'd be a terrible shame if he did have to leave but who could blame the bloke?

Terrible whats happened to him but he got it when he played for NI, he knew it could happen when he went to celtic I just think his actions on the touchline and in interviews doesn't help.

I'm pleased for Lennon as he's being very strong carrying on with his role despite being at his rather most difficult life of his career and I for one would've been shit scared of carrying on with all these threats and abuse that he's getting. :appl:

Doesn't deserve any of this. He's putting his own life and the lives of his family at risk just by managing a football club. Sad, really, as it won't stop until he stops, and that's giving up, letting them win.

Just feel for him really, managing your boyhood club should be a dream, this is a nightmare.

The thing is though the Rangers and Celtic rivalry is more than just football it's about religion and the goings on in Northern Ireland, this bomb (if it was sent by a Rangers fan) has absoloutely nothing to do with football but with a Northern Irishman managing a predominantely Catholic team who were against the Northern Irish fighting for freedom.

I'm a Rangers supporter but this a step to far would never wish death on anyone.

NB: Sorry if that sounded really patronising I was just trying to get a point across.

I thought you were a Leicester supporter.

Really sad again. Know he likes to stir it up himself but how much longer will he put up with this?

Would welcome the bloke with open arms if he were to ever take a position at Leicester City FC again.

Him as manager with Muzzy assistant and Guppy first team coach would be an absolute dream team.

lol Alcoholics un-anonymous - genius, bring Gazza in as defensive coach and we'll have the full culture.

Picking senior management better done with head than heart methinks.

So you wouldn't be annoyed with a bloke who has just ran onto the field of play with his only attention being to attack you. With all that has been going on with regards to him recently and how it must be putting stress on his relationships with family and friends I find it ridiculous to tell him to calm down. If this was happening to me, I'd want to rip every limb from anyone who is supporting people who are sending bombs intended to maim or kill.

But his actions are making the situation even worse. Did you see him celebrate the goal ? turned to the Hearts fans with arms aloft. He was just asking for it.

It shouldn't have to "help." All of the abuse and threats Neil Lennon has received over the years isn't a Neil Lennon problem, it's a sectarian scumbag problem.

Edit to say that this particular case might be a had-too-much-to-drink-and-doesn't-know-how-to-behave-himself-in-a-crowd-at-the-football-game problem.
