The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Hectic]

Look everyone is entitled to their own opinion.  What I saw was a man who has suffered the most extreme abuse facing up to his haters saying you will not break me.  Its not as if he was blessing himself in front of them or giving them the two fingers or even throwing a load of verbal abuse back at them. After the goal he was saying how do you like that and after the final whistle he was saying give me all you have got. 

I appreciate what you are saying about expected conduct for a manager but at the same time I can fully understand his reaction - some people cower to bullies, some ignore them and others face up to them - such is the rich tapestry of life.  Yes the football authorities might have a say on it but at the same time I would not be criticizing him too strongly.

I wouldnt criticize him at all, these scummy bastards think because they buy a ticket they can act any way they want, they cant, fair play to Lennon.

I'd be ever so slightly critical of Lennon if there was some form of punishment for fans.

Surely there's some way that this abuse can be caught on camera (with sound) at these grounds.

The thing is, unless it's specifically racial abuse it's fair game which I find unacceptable.

Police will take no further action. Await the SFA doing the same. Aye right!
FFS I saw Dyche celebrate a Burnley goal in front of Chelsea fans with a raised arm and clenched fist. That looked like a GIRUY to me. Mourinho used to race the length of the touchline in celebration. Plenty of players do the ear cupping or finger to the mouth gesture. It should be seen for what it is,an emotional response in celebration. Poor wee lambs just can't take it being beaten by an Irish, Catholic, ex Celtic player and manager.

Since they finished their playing days, both Lenny and Ally have bloated out in a similar dumpy fashion.

He's been cleared.

Maybe they should be shot for that too ...Too much steak & chips instead of cabbage and spuds with a slice of bacon

Chris Sutton guarantees Patrick Roberts is signing, didn't say when though, big one tomorrow night, ideally would like to be taking a two goal lead to the away leg but think tomorrow's game will be tricky enough

From that article

Complaints were made to police over Lennon's touchline conduct after Hibs' first goal in a 3-2 victory.
Rangers assistant manager Helder Baptista had spoken to police about Lennon, he (Lenny) said: "I didn't make a gesture, I celebrated a goal.If they are unhappy about it they can come and tell me. But I shouldn't get into trouble for doing that."


To be a Rangers' assistant manager, you're the snitch, yapping in the ears of the police
And to be a Rangers manager, it's part of the job description to act out the condescending prat,  referring to Lenny  Pedro exclaimed  "I don't have the same principles, education or point of view."

And for both of them, they automatically inherit the club's air of sole entitlement to everything.

Massive game tonight and we go into it with a half fit striker and one fit centre back. I am worried

Celtic should have had Roberts signed already, its almost as if they would prefer a long run in the Europa Cup, they have the money, he wants to be there, sign him or get him on loan now!

I suspect it will be a loan and City will not sanction it until we are in CL.

Well within their rights but this adds significant weight to this tie.
