It is an absolute disgrace how Neil Lennon is treated by the media and abused by knuckle draggers.
The reason I say that is due to his treatment at the Noel Gallagher gig in Glasgow. During the gig, which he attended with his missus he was bombarded with pints and verbally abused.
Now just imagine if this had happened to Walter Smith when he was out with his wife, can you imagine the furore of the media and the knuckle draggers. Both groups would be on the warpath and our name would be getting dragged through the mud. However, it is alright if it happens to Lennon.

I would have zero complaints if he was our next manager. The abuse he has taken and continues to take off them will only increase his hatred and desire to smash them at every opportunity.

RabMac I remember the papers and the news making a huge deal of the fact Neil Lennon got attacked down Ashton Lane and got sent bullets etc. while he was manager so I don't know where you're getting this attitude of them not caring/ ignoring it. It's a disgrace but what do you want? Front page? It happened late last night at a concert, I don't imagine there was much media in attendance apart from the showbiz/ celebrity reporters.

NL took over the debacle that Mowbray left, built a team to beat a financially doped rangers! won three league titles, reached the last 16 of the champions league, beat Barcelona and signed all the players who have made the club a fortune. He deserves more respect for his achievements as a manager. He did all this while he was subject to violence intimation and a campaign of terrorism, he had to move his family to safety in the middle of the night lest that be seriously injured or worse. I am sure like me, no one on this site has had to try and do their job with real threats to their life and their families life. Not only is he a good manager he is courageous, determined and loves our club. I would love him to come back as manager.

Kev bhoy, of course Neil Lennon brought it on himself . It's totally wrong that he is allowed into licence premises late at night . He should at least cover his red head .

Old Bhoy, where in my post do I even show a hint of suggesting Neil Lennon brings it on himself?
22 Apr 2016 19:26:41
And it's also on the DR website now.

You obviously did not read the story Kevbhoy and it would appear that you also missed the vilification of Lennon by the media when he managed us. More often than not the media would use a picture of Lennon snarling because they wanted to paint him in a certain light.

I never missed anything RabMac. They reported on the street attack and death threats etc as I mentioned before. They have also now reported on the hassle he was getting last night. I never said they used to paint him as an angel. You're changing the subject.

Kev boy I cannot recall saying that you said N Lennon brought it on himself . In fact I said that not you.
23 Apr 2016 08:49:44
Don't worry Old Bhoy, he seems unable to comprehend what he reads and for that reason his opinions are best ignored, which I shall be doing in future.

Old Bhoy, I took your comment the wrong way, I hold up my hands and apologise. And RabMac, your point was that the media would ignore NL's treatment at the Hydro, they've reported on it so I don't see what your issue is with what I've said but if you want to ignore me then by all means be my guest.
