And you are comparing his behaviour to that of Rangers FC and saying what he has been found guilty of is actually worse than Rangers recent actions?
No?
Tell me this, did Neil Francis Lennon endanger the prospects of every club and the Scottish national side by taking his grievances outside of football?
I think everyone knows he did not. He may have had his lawyer shred the SFA's regulations and show how flawed they were, he did not go running to a court of law when it went pear shaped and he did not get "His" way.
To an outsider (and that's what I am) Rangers actions are reprehensible, not only because they have ignored proper channels of appeal, but because by ignoring other means of resolving their complaints they have potentially taken much needed money out of the Scottish game. I am aware that money never really bothered Rangers in the past, but some clubs do have a strategic vision, and therefore plan ahead based upon income. Dundee utd, Hearts, Celtic, Motherwell and St Johnstone need every penny they can get and Rangers blatant attempts to circumvent the SFA rules may have harmed them all.
Nothing Neil Francis Lennon ever did comes close to the breathtaking arrogance and "I'm all right Jack" attitude Rangers have shown in this case. The fact that some still see fit to defend Rangers' right to take this outside of football -and argue that they have been somehow vindicated - I find incredible. So do many others, and not all of them (or even the majority) are Celtic fans.
