So you are unemployed Ed? Lol. I just remember reading somewhere you were an engineer by trade and I can't see how you could work with your leg. I hope you claimed a fortune of insurance Ed, cost you years of earnings. Anyways I'm off to bed goodnight all.

Re: Stevie-A-Bear.

Okay Big Boy.. Do you want to post the references pal,because i think your confusing me with other Stevie's on this site. Stevie-A-Bear

Agree1 Disagree5

Bigirishmac- Are you f$ckin serious?
Your manager is a liability and an accident waitinf to happen. Even "Leckie" from the sun (an avid RFC hater) slates Lennon for his behaviour! The guy was brought up in NI, and has been in Scotland as a player and manager for years now. He needs to get a grip, and Lawell needs to have a word. Not saying what we've got here is right, but it's where we are, and Lennon knows it. Don't recall Mcneil,oe O'neil, causing the commotion the wee ginger does. Why is that? Answer - "I am Neil Lennon"
Stevie-A-Bear {Ed007's Note - I think you have some crossed wires about Leckie. Anyone who has met him will tell a different story Stevie.}

Thats just one quote i have read that took me 30 seconds to find.....i can keep searching for more if you like. You either hate him or have some serious ill feeling towards him. And as for the Joesahomo pish.....grow up pal.

Is that your case? Not very persuasive is it Joe? Wee Lenny will be glad your not defending him on the 19th April...
Read the context of my post, if you are incapable of applying context to what people are saying, ask someone who can! Where in my post is there a reference to me hating NL?
Stevie- A-Bear

Ok Stevie, you have never said the word hate, but you (and thousands more) Rangers fans seem to spend all your time telling us Celtic fans why the guy is an embarassment. Lemmon this , wee ginger that. Why do you lot care, its quite creepy the lengths you all go to. How do you know what was said to the ref? So until you do why should he get a grip and why should anyone have a word in his ear. He may be completely innocent.
If their is no smoke without fire as they say and its quite obvious something was said i can twist it round and say whispering Ally should be glad Lennon has went back on his word to say what was said to him at the end of the "Shame game", as many Rangers fans might end up with egg on their faces!

Joeshmo1888

Agree4 Disagree1

Joeshmo, it's not that we care mate. It's just that he's never done whinging. He's like a greeting wean on a plane on a flight to Australia. Okay he maybe has passion, and is sticking up for the club,fair do's, i ain't got a problem with that,but there are better ways of doing it,certainly not in front of tv cameras. If he feels hard done by, let him pursue it via the club through the courts. It get's a bit draining after a while,and while i can understand Celtic fans wanting to see this, it annoys the f^ck out of everyone else. Hee's got an agenda and he might have reasons, but he needs to be more transparent. The inferrance after Sunday's game was that Rangers officials or the establishment stopped him going to the stands, it wasn't,as we now know. He was very implicit about what he... did,and did not say or do,but left this important point out, why, to bolster his case? He then followed this up with the "Sums this country up statement" Do you think Neil is protecting Ally? Stevie-A-Bear

Hi guys

just read a rumour today newcastle have been linked with a summer move for hooper.

I honestly think he would start in our front three ahead of ba, cisse and ben arfa but would be great as a rotation player and when the african cup is on.

I think he is too talented though to be happy sitting on a bench unless it was at man utd or a title contended with champs league footy.

What is a realistic price and do you think he would cut it in the premierleague? (obviously he would do ok but would you expect 10? 15? 20? goals a season off him)

Thanks for the response guys

thanks for youtube link......great highlights

Agree0 Disagree0

Got a bit of a soft spot for The Toon.Personally i can't see him starting games as long as Cisse and Ba are there but if one was to go then i could see him doing a job for you.Think between 15 + 20 goals a season is achievable if he was a starter,around 10 coming off the bench.Hope you aren't Pardew?lol

While watching the game in an Irish theme pub in my beautiful city of Edinburgh I witnessed the following:-
Three guys in the corner began abusing Neil Lennon and after Aluko scoring a stunning goal, the racial abuse and the word M....y followed
the sending off of Wanyama.
This incident was greeted with horror by the tourists present. No wonder they call them Scotland's Shame.

posted this on the Rangers page looking for some clarification on this matter maybe you bhoys can enlighten me

one other point the word F*****n is classed as a sectarian word yet celtic fans chant Paddy McCourts F*****n army. now i mentioned this to a friend who is a Celtic fan and he said "its acceptable for Catholics to call each other it just like the Blacks use the N word to each other but its racist if a white person uses it. when i pointed out my son is catholic and as season ticket holder at ibrox being catholic it is then ok for him to call paddy McCourt a F*****N a**hole i was told no because hes not a celtic supporter does this means that the F word is only deemed sectarian if it is being used by someone who has no affiliation to Celtic f*** im confused

Pad {Ed007's Note - The word Fenian in itself is not illegal or sectarian. It becomes illegal and classed sectarian when it is used in a derogatory context or manner i.e Fenian B*****d. Without going into a history lesson or debate, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the PMFA song.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

I have no problem with anyone calling me a Fenian i quite like it actually, if you add b++++++ after it thats a different matter but only because i dont like being called a b++++++.......Stevie

Agree2 Disagree1

Hey ED im not saying there is anything wrong with PMFA chant just i think the poor sods that got nicked for having a banner with the h word on it was way over the top i just was wondering how it would go in court if my son shouted at the game
PM is a Fenian and he got arrested could they class it as sectarian due to the fact he is a RC do you see how ironic it would be lol

Pad {Ed007's Note - See that is going into history, a Fenian is not necessarily a RC. I do see what you mean though but let's not go into it too much. It would just end up pointless bickering. A lot of Rangers fan call themselves Orangemen, go to Orange Walk etc, those terms are not offensive, call someone an Orange b*****d and it takes on a whole new meaning and becomes sectarian. The word H*n is a strange one, I text Ed001 late last night about yesterday's court case. His reply was along the lines of 'Oh FFS can you lot up there not even decide that', although it was meant tongue in cheek it was very true. I advised him to still edit it out, it is better to be safe than sorry IMO. Not only is it still a cloudy subject but I don't imagine Rangers supporters particularly like being called it, it is not like 'Tim' that CFC supporters call each other, even as friendly greeting etc, I have never heard any Rangers fans refer to themselves as a H*n, so obviously (I think???) it is offensive to the point that they find it offensive. I used to get very confused editing the Spurs site. A lot of them refer to themselves as Yids, but that can also be offensive in a certain context. I hope that helps mate, I need a lie down after that :-)

Oh dear Ed sounds like you were taking a hard time yesterday. You just cant win sometimes can you?

I want to raise a point i made in my wee blog thingymajig about having to referees on the pitch.

I think this could be a genuinly beneficial way forward in the game. Both referees have the power to govern the game and blow for fouls etc. With one referee based between one box and the halfway line and the other on the opposite side. This would allow the refs to gain much clearer views of incidents like penalties and offsides etc. Surley 4 eyes are better than 2?

I also rekon it could help cut out cheating, a lot of dives are given as fouls because from the referees viewpint it looks like there is contact or a tangle of legs where there wasnt. A second referee infront of the play would help spot more of these instances and discourage players from attempting to essintially cheat.

Now obviously not all decisions will end up being correct, we all make mistakes, but in theory the chances of this happening reduce 50% surley with 2 fully trained refs on the pitch. They can be in constant communication with ear pieces, and reach consensus on decisions. Will also allow them to be better positioned for goal line incidents etc.

Obviously this is kind of in place with the extra officials behind the goals, but these guys are there as a show and how many of them have you seen make a decision or make a call in euro games? i have not seen any i can think of. A fully trained referee would be more inclined to call it as they see it. And any element of doubt there is a back up from a differnt referees position, not a linesman or a fourth official sometimes more than 50 yards away, who is not in a position to make the call.

Give the refs support and help in an improved way. We then would have less chance of claims of bias and corruption. And if there was and it were proved to be true it would be much more apparent than before.

So why not give it a go? Surley we should look to improve the game allround from playing standards to governance on the pitch. Cos lets face it for 150 years 1 man in the middle has proved to be inept on so many occasions.

Agree1 Disagree0

@Evinguu; I agree with you on the two refs question.The game has moved on from it's original rules and they need to be refreshed.One long accurate pass takes a ref out of play no matter how fit he is.By cutting down the yardage they have to cover there should,in theory,always be a ref within 10-20 yards of an incident.I would also instruct refs to penalise the offender if two players are grappling for position at corners and free kicks,every time,no excuses.How many times do you see defenders pulling players while not even looking at the ball?............green jhedi

Reading all this nonsense about how Celtic were never going to be allowed to win the league at ibrox because of the sfa, ref, establishment and media is becoming tiresome. It is not only ridiculous but is extremely childish. What about Lee Wallace's or the hearts goal etc. It is swings and round-a-bouts. The better team won on the day and thats it. Rangers may have to wait a while to regain former status etc but they will do and it will be for the bennefit of Scottish football. They will not die and any fairminded Celtic fan knows this. Give it a rest and move on.

talk would have been very different

How would it be different. He isn't on the field of play.

Agree0 Disagree4

His team talk would have been different if the players and himself had known about this stupid ban. One up to the AUTHORITIES AGAIN.

Agree1 Disagree1

He wasn't told of his ban by the referee at half time, because the referee was unaware of the situation regarding Neilly boy's behaviour,until it was reported by the match delegate. Neilly boy, was conducting his half time speech, and the ref had to have his half time cuppa. It was only then that he was advised of his banishment. Like numerous occasions in the past, "Oor Neilly" brought it on himself. No conspiracy, No establishment, stopping Celtic winning. The only contributing factor to Sunday's result, was that Rangers simply played better.
Awaiting alternative arguments. Now i'm away to the Rangers site to read equally amount of bumph. LOL
Stevie-A-Bear {Ed007's Note - The match officials all miked up to talk to each other. Surely the ref would have been told during the game that the fourth official had to speak to NL, if only for him to keep an eye on the situation if it deteriorated. Like most Rangers fans your clarity of assumption should be applauded though.}

Agree0 Disagree1

@Ed:007
Assumption reached by common sense Ed.
Okay i just realised that i should have put "Maybe a more plausible explanation would be" so point taken about "clarity of assumption"
Are you going with the original poster's assumption that "The Establishment" prevented Celtic winning? If so you have a "clarity" issue Ed. C,mon Ed, there are fans on both sites hanging on every word that NL says. To issue a statement like "The establishment were never going to let Celtic win at Ibrox" is just ridiculous.
Just for arguments sake let's say that Lennon's pre-match eulogy was true..What difference would his half time talk have made? What difference would it have made if he was in the dugout or not,if the result was already pre-ordained. Doesn't make sense Ed.
Okay, he wasn't there to urge his team on, i know you get a different perspective on the game from seeing the whole picture,as opposed to watching it on tv.
He was in the dugout for the whole game last week, and his half time talk never helped,and we subsequently were told that he got ripped into the players at half time. A football match is generally won by the better team on the day,and on the pitch.
I never saw a policeman,referee,mason,clergyman,sfa or spl official run onto the park and deflect in any of the 5 goals. In my opinion Rangers were the better team, Celtic players lost the plot, and although i would echo the sentiments of our manager AM,regarding the "Probably" comments, The ref only applied the laws of the game,that everyone has to play by. (Gawd, hope this doesn't get bombarded with off topic posts about Tax laws/ebt's etc)- Stevie-A-Bear {Ed007's Note - All I am saying is what I said yesterday. People are assuming they know what happened in the tunnel, just like you have done.}

Fair point Ed, i just think my explanation is more plausible,and i'm sure all will be revealed eventually. Just as a bit of fun Ed can we have a wee "most far fetched assumption" competition on here? With maybe a wee "Cyber drink" as a prize. lol
That would brighten up the long day's and nights no end eh? Stevie-A-Bear {Ed007's Note - I think Durrant BBMd Calum Murray at HT and told him if he didn't send NL off then McCoist was going to sit on him after the game, make him share a room with Gazza the night before the Legends 'charity' match and the press would find out he was David Murray's long lost twin brother and ran the Rangers EBT fund for him. All perfectly plausible, apart from the 'charity' part which seems a bit far fetched now.}
