Neil Lennon International Manager?

Not a leg to stand on so you want to talk about Rangers in Europe.

 

Before today have you heard of a song Rangers fans sing about Lennon dying?

 

With a predictability on a par with the Pope announcing himself to be a Catholic, the Scottish media largely ignored the chanting regarding Neil Lennon’s constant reminder that his life will never be one where he can be truly at peace within his own surroundings. Instead, shock horror, a man whose very existence has been under the most severe threat responded to the abuse with a single act of defiance. Cue permarage in a manner that only ‘ra peepil’ can muster. If the situation wasn’t circled with such terrifying severity, there is a somewhat laughable element to the subsequent reaction. At what point in a person’s thought process do they become offended by a man’s silent gesture? What do they truly want him to respond with? Tears? Ritualistic suicide in the centre spot on Ibrox? A man who has been hounded to the point that his every breath is in the hands of mindless terrorists who seek to destroy for the mere crime of being an Irish Catholic associated with Celtic Football Club.

Yet, the ‘what’s it like to live in fear’ chants created a paradox of sorts. Whilst the chants had a sinister undercurrent that were handled with a wonderful act of insubordination, the chants themselves could be turned back at the protagonists. It seems as though, with each passing moment of this truly unforgettable football season, the ones living in fear are those very supporters whose cruel mockery led to idiotic complaints about one man standing up to a crowd of faceless taunting.

Says the man who wrote two articles about Celtic in Australia.

 

So songs about Lennon dying, sectarian insults etc etc etc have now boiled down to What's it like to live in fear!?!

And yet the claim comes from a Celtic fansite. Don't make me laugh.

 

Medro wins.

 

What about the Scotsman - you know one of those newspapers you love

Touche'

 

If you had been paying attention and not attempting to appear clever you may have noticed exactly what I said all along.

Maybe you should go back and read it all again to avoid repeating the same mistakes you keep making?

 

Medro seems to have been hoisted by his own petard.

It's all gone quiet

 

What about it? I see no mention of songs about Lennon dying? They said sectarian chants weren't as bad as previous encounters, it didn't mention which any sets of supporters engaging in this.

What's your point.

 

You said Billy Boys, No pope of Rome etc was sung.

It wasn't and you have shown no evidence to back your point up.

 

From the Scotsman article:

"Those defending Lennon's actions said he had been reacting to chants such as "What's it like to live in fear?"."

What do you think that refers to? His phobia of spiders perhaps? His fear of the unknown?

Or do you think it was in reference to the recent bombs and threats to his life?

I'll let you work it out then completely ignore it because it doesn't fit in with your obsessive and frankly paranoid delusions about Mr Lennon.

 

but but but you said they were about him dying Stereo when clearly the song mentioned is about him being in fear you liar.




I could quite enjoy being Medro for a day

 

Medro's argument vanishes like snow off a dyke.

 

Yes i'm sure they stopped singing it for that one match.

 

This has become so boring now, Celtic get accused of something they're fans deflect yada yada yada.
