InvertedSmiley Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 As much as I don't condone this sort of behaviour at all and I think that Rangers as a club should publicly come out and distance themselves from the idiots behind this... As long as Neil lennon continues to socialise in Republican bars, the Loyalists in Ulster will continue doing what they are doing to him.  If that was anybody connected to my club, let alone the Manager I would want the club to get shot (No pun intended) of him.  No doubt the usual suspects will come in here to attack me for this post. But fuck it, Lennon brings it on himself. You've been incredibly quiet the last week or so  Not sure how your picture of Neil Lennon being photographed with some halfwit shows that he brings death threats upon himself.  You know as well as I do that Lennon's social life has absolutely nothing to do with the death threats which he has received since moving to Scotland.  And as far as I'm aware Rangers and their fans haven't been implicated in this, so why should they come out and distance themselves from it?

David Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 The National Secular Society has demanded the Scottish Football Association reinstate Hugh Dallas, the referee sacked for sending a "gratuitously insulting" e-mail about the Pope. While the Catholic Church described the e-mail as "deeply offensive" and supported the sacking of the SFA's head of referee development in November, the National Secular Society insisted yesterday that it was "a light-hearted joke.  It called on the SFA to give Mr Dallas and another employee who was also sacked their jobs back.  Keith Porteous Wood, executive director of the NSS, has written to the SFA following its decision last week to reinstate three of the five individuals sacked last year during a disciplinary hearing that was called after they circulated the e-mail containing a joke linking the Pope to child abuse.  The three members of staff were reinstated on Friday, following negotiations between the SFA and the GMB union, and are expected to return to their posts later this month after what a union official described as "a wee hiccup" on the workers' unblemished records of service.  In the letter, Mr Wood said the sacking of staff by the SFA was "disproportionate", and that, while the organisation was pleased that three members of staff had been reinstated, it called on the football body to give the remaining two, Mr Dallas and another employee who had not appealed, their jobs back.  Mr Wood then launched an attack on the Catholic Church. He wrote that it was in "no position to lobby and deprive others of their jobs over such a trivial joke, given its own misdemeanours, conducted on a much larger scale for so long and so widely".  He added: "It is a matter of public record that the Catholic Church itself has not sacked, nor indeed reported to prosecuting authorities, thousands of its own employees it knew to have abused children in its care.  "Had it done so, rather than moving these employees to unsuspecting parishes to abuse again, many more victims' lives would have been spared damage."  The organisation stated: "We reject the suggestion that Mr Dallas's reinstatement would not be 'not in the public interest' and hope this is not code for not wishing to upset the Church."  The e-mail, sent as the pontiff was visiting Scotland, was condemned at the time by the Catholic Church, which demanded Mr Dallas be sacked.  Mr Dallas attempted to overturn his dismissal, but his appeal was rejected at the end of December.  The former World Cup referee is considering taking the SFA to an employment tribunal.  The offending e-mail showed a road sign of an adult holding a child's hand. It was captioned "Caution: The Pope is coming", in reference to the papal visit.  The members of staff who were sacked were alleged to have forwarded the e-mail from their SFA accounts in breach of the organisation's IT policy.  The staff given their jobs back were secretary Amanda McDonald, audio-visual technician Tim Berridge and administrative assistant Marco McIntyre. The fifth employee is not thought to have launched an appeal.  The failure of the SFA to act swiftly after the controversy erupted last September was condemned by the Catholic Church at the time.  Two months after the issue came to light, the Church's spokesman, Peter Kearney, wrote to the SFA chief executive, Stewart Regan, urging him to sack Mr Dallas if the allegations were proved, to make its investigations public and to treat the matter with urgency.  In his letter, Mr Kearney described Mr Dallas's conduct as "totally unprofessional, gratuitously insulting to the Pope, deeply offensive to the Catholic community of Scotland and an incitement to anti-Catholic sectarianism".  Two days after the letter was sent, it emerged that Hugh Dallas, the respected former Fifa official, who officiated at the 1996 Olympic Games and the 1999 Uefa Cup final, had left his position at the SFA.  Last night, a spokesman for the Catholic Church said he had no comment to make. A spokesman for the SFA said: "We have said repeatedly we do not comment on individual cases."  Hugh Dallas head of referee development, was sacked. His appeal against dismissal was rejected at the end of December. The former World Cup referee is considering taking the SFA to an employment tribunal.  Secretary Amanda McDonald, audio visual technician Tim Berridge and admin assistant Marco McIntyre were all sacked, but were reinstated following an appeal.  Mailroom manager Bob Bryan was sacked, but he is thought not to have appealed against the decision. Source: The Scotsman  It has to be asked what good it would do if Dallas was to return to the SFA? His position is surely untenable now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for asking.  Neil lennon's social life has everything to do with the death threats. He's the manager of one of the biggest clubs in the world for fuck sakes and a figure of hatred amongest their equally as huge rivals. It doesn't take a genius to work out that some idiots amongest our support will be wanting him battered if they see him posing with some arsehole pretending he's in the IRA.  Come on man, don't play dumb.

InvertedSmiley Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Again, I haven't seen or heard any suggestion that these threats came from anyone connected to Rangers. Â The bullets were sent from the Ballymoney area of Northern Ireland, the same place where Northern Ireland international Chris Baird had his mother's house attacked because he's a Catholic who dared represent his country at international level. Â Some photograph uploaded onto some clown's Facebook page - or wherever you dug that from - mean nothing to these people. Lennon was being targetted long before he was Celtic manager and long before that particular photograph was taken, for the simple fact that he's a Catholic playing for Northern Ireland. That's why Niall McGinn was targetted. Â Unless you're going to post some picture of the bold Niall wearing a balaclava, of course. Â This isn't a Celtic/Rangers thing, as far as I can see. It's all about the bigoted backwater that some areas of Northern Ireland refuse to move on from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Georgios Samaras will quit Celtic after the club put a 12-month contract extension on to the table. The Greek will move from Glasgow having had his dreams of a longer stay crushed by Parkhead bosses.  Samaras' term at Celtic looked to be ending when negotiations over a new contract stalled at the end of last year and his current deal set to expire at the end this season.  But his heroic Old Firm performance at Ibrox last week - when he scored both goals in a 2-0 victory - brought him rocketing back into the affections of the fans and boss Neil Lennon.  Lennon immediately insisted he wanted the striker to remain part of the set-up and sources close to the player have revealed Samaras would be happy to stay at Celtic for the rest of his career.  However, the short-term offer put on the table by the Parkhead powerbrokers has convinced Samaras his future lies elsewhere.  Lazio head a clutch of clubs across Europe willing to fork out for the World Cup star and take him before the close of this month's transfer window.  But even if this does not happen the 25-year-old attacker will go at the end of his current deal if Celtic do not reassess their offer.
