It seems many in the media are saying Lennon doesn't deserve the MOTY title due to Rangers being docked points, yet these same people wish to award Stuart McCall the trophy. WTF? Motherwell have been the major beneficiaries of Rangers woes. Celtic overturned the deficit long before Rangers went into administration. Would Motherwell have qualified for the Champions League if Rangers hadn't been docked 10 points? Why does no-one mention this nonsense! Fair and objective journalism? No. Stupid hacks who can't formulate a logical argument I think.
Stuart Mc Call does not deserve to win any award because since he has taken over as manager of Motherwell, his team has laid down their abilities and has allowed Rangers to beat them easily every game. Punters feel Motherwell would be a cert for 2nd position next season if they didn't have to penalise themselves by 12 points in games against Rangers. True M'well fans will certainly be glad to see Rangers in the 3rd division.
I can see a case for McCall getting the award. He has cemented 3rd place with very limited resources at his disposal, that is a very good achievement indeed and one worthy of mention and a nomination for MoTY, no complaints at all that he was nominated and if he does win then all well (no pun intended) and good but personally I belive Neil Lennon is more deserving. Whilst McCall has done well with no real budget to speak of, Celtic under Lennon have won the spl by a country mile with a very young side who have played expansive entertaining football. League won Runners up League Cup Semi Finalists in the Cup Lennon for me but I would not be shocked to see McCall get the award.
If Celtic win tomorrow we will be 31 points clear of third place Motherwell with a game still to go. Thirty one! When Celtic and Rangers stopped signing big name players and started to cut back on wages we were told that the gap between the OF and the rest would narrow. In fact, during Strachan's 3IAR Celtic never finished more than 30 points ahead of the team in 3rd place. Motherwell also had, at one point, a realistic chance of catching a Rangers team that was on its knees but still trail them by 8 points. I don't deny that McCall has done a good job at Motherwell but to be awarded MoTY while finishing 30+ points behind the league leaders would be a travesty.
To be perfectly honest i'm surprised Sally was not nominated, for all he has gone through at such a time
Username you are back on today. I thought you left in a hurry on Sunday when it was pointed out that you lied when you said you had bet £250 on the team that hasn't got that much credit left in the bank. Acting big fellow user but wee bets are still for you as you are not allowed.
I'd just don't think coming in 3rd in a league is why he would get the nod. It is down to the CL spot but that is circumstance. If not Lenny then Kenny Shiels.

He has held a weakened rangers side together with dignity, matching celtic game for game. [2-2 in league games over the season]. Am with Dev on this one, Ally should have got a mention. PUD yer a FUD, why delete a response and edit it with "I **** male sheep" MTS had already replied to it below at 08-36PM -------PRICK Just accept it"s true!!!
That wasn't very nice of Pud but I thought your infatuation with woolly creatures was quite endearing ... now I'm disappointed that you're just a blinkered Rangers' fan. By the way, did you not hear Dev's sarcastic whistling after his post?
