http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/aberdeen/rangers-manager-sent-for-trial-1.813360 RANGERS manager Walter Smith was sent for trial at Perth Sheriff Court yesterday after he denied a charge of breach of the peace at a premier division match between St Johnstone and Rangers at McDiarmid Park a month ago. St Johnstone manager Alex Totten, who faces the same charge, pled not guilty at an earlier hearing. The managers are accused of conducting themselves in a disorderly manner by shouting and swearing at each other, engaging in a stand-up fight, and committing a breach of the peace. Sheriff John Wheatley adjourned the case until February 10 when Smith will stand trial with his co-accused.
I've mentioned this several times, but it's Mr Dignity with his brown shoes who wouldn't harm a fly !!! There was also his sectarian outburst at a linesman for having the surname Murphy , two instances worse than Lennon has ever done .Yet the Huns want the book thrown at Lennon
And your point is? He was out of order and got punished. It's old news and was dealt with. Still doesn't justify Lennon's behaviour.
Come on T, no one is saying it justifies anything, it simply shows how two-faced the Meeja are in Scotland are. They've been spinning the Dignity ****e for years, ignoring inconvenient truths and slaughtering Lennon for far less serious matters, like kicking a bottle.
Smith got dealt with and there was no outburst. It was an embarrassment to Rangers at the time. He didn't go on social media (or whatever was around back in the 90s) ranting about it and claiming injustice. The problem with Lennon is that my dog learns quicker than him. He keeps fuelling the fire by giving the papers nice wee snippets like 'it's personal'. These ****ers want to sell papers so by blowing incidents out of all proportion they do their job and increase sales. Lennon seems more than happy to co-operate by blowing his top almost on demand and it gets lapped up by the press and the window lickers looking for excuses to hate him. If he said his piece without the histrionics that accompany it then he might find that the papers will turn their attention to something else. Like the missing vowels in Bill Ng's surname.
Dev. We all know that it is pointless trying to be reasonable with pompous Mr. T. especially now with Rangers sent for by satan himself. May the death be slow and painful. May all the wrongs flash before the Huns eyes.
Youngish manager gets done for breach of the peace at a football match. Years later he's trying to fight Mixu Paatelainen. But we'll just put that to one side shall we? When Neil Lennon is in court for breaking the law at a football match rather than being the victim then you can moralise to us.
We should, of course, remind the Rangers fans that Walter 'Dignity' Smith is in fact a bigot: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/13014700
Lennon is being daemonised when others are being hailed the personification of dignity It's bullshit We expect huns to roll out this line because you are our rivals but the media are going to extraordinary lengths to prove this whilst at the same time they ignore worse incidents involving other managers The media are reporting a 17 match ban for basically a history of arguing with refs and disagreeing with their decisions...Jim Jeffries made a career of this No one has been threatened No one has been assaulted No ones family is in danger Unless of course you actually are Neil Lennon
Mind the Step. You mentioned earlier the shipyard. In Harland and Wolfe and in the Govan shipyards their main workforce, the Protestant mob always threw rivets (some preheated) at the unfortunate Catholics on the decks below. This resulted, in order to keep within budget) the buyer bought cheap rivets. These rivets popped when the Titanic hit the iceberg causing ship to go down.
the rivets had **** all to do with the titanic sinking. the shear mass and momentum of the ship colliding with such a massive solid object ripped a massive gash in the hull, much like the recent disaster in Italy.
Not sure it could be accurately described as a 'massive gash' considering the ship's total length was approximately 882 feet. Apparently, although the damage in the hull was 220 to 245 feet long, the most recent evidence shows that there was only a 12 square foot opening (the size of a refrigerator) in the hull allowing water inside the ship. The "watertight" compartments of the Titanic's hull were also, apparently, not actually watertight. They were open at the tops, which aided in her demise. The ship could have stayed afloat had only four compartments flooded ...five became flooded. It now seems somewhat foolish to claim that the ship was 'practically unsinkable' given the flaws in its design.
They said this vessel could not be sunk. It caught the imagination of Protestant supremacists who thought of this vessel as a vehicle of showcasing the strength of the Empire. It spent years hiding in the shipyards. It struck a colossal object and began to sink. People refused to believe this vessel could be doomed. It was to big. Too important. As it sank, those with any kind of money escaped leaving the poor working classes who thought of themselves as privileged to be on this journey to drown ........A sad ****in tale.
It certainly was a sad tale for the 1500 or so people who perished and yes, the moneyed classes who survived at the expense of the poor (lifeboats half full and many unused) make for a truly disgusting tale. The myths and lies peddled, together with the people who have bought into the romantic notions painted by James Cameron's film merely add to the shame of it all. Of course there is money to be made in regurgitating the myths and lies to a gullible public so we shouldn't be at all surprised by any of the hype from those who will undoubtedly cash in on it.
