What is there to explain? If he hadn't been a footballer he'd probably have spent his youth fighting soldiers and marching around Belfast. Just google 'Neil Lennon bigot' or something similar and there are countless links.
You said this earlier about appointing Chris Hughton: You don't want Mackay either. I've asked you 12 times who you do want as Manager but you won't tell us. You're a phony mate. Pure and simple.
He would have to be somewhere in the mix, or ................ Wouldn't say no, surely ............. Would say no, precisely! Imagine if he and Barton clashed? It would be a bloodbath!
How much nicer Glasgow and the wider country would be if there was only one team in Glasgow called Glasgow City formed in the 1880s.
Not sure what being Jewish has to do with it but it is bizarre if not the very bigotry it criticises. Going for a lie down having agreed with swords.
This is a pointless thread until we know Harry is leaving or not. Also wherever who would you like as manager?
There are a lot of sportsmen/women who have come from very difficult backgrounds. But it is their personal fight and determination, that has enable them to make something out of a life, that might otherwise, have trapped them. So we should not look down upon anyone's background as a reason, for them not coming to our club, in what ever capacity, if anything, they should be embraced for having that mental fortitude to achieve, in face of adversity.
Lennon would get these lazy, unfit, over earning players sorted or f***** off , thats for sure and I thought thats what we all wanted and needed?!!!!
I'm not looking down on him. I couldn't give a **** if he's Catholic, Protestant or follows any imaginary God or not. It would bother me having a manager so extreme and aggressive however. What he's gone through hasn't been nice at all but he brings a lot upon himself and it's the last thing QPR needs.
I said he would be divisive and its clear from the thread that it would be true. I tend to try and ignore the jock bigotry so i dont know if hes that bad or not and I think its clear we can't afford such an unlikable character after the last two we appointed.
I find it lamentable that someone from a community that's suffered the most extreme and horrific case of bigotry in the relatively recent past would be so quick to call someone who's also suffered bigotry, a bigot themselves. I would like to know what exactly Neil Lennon has said that makes him such a bigot? If you put up a quote or two, I'll be immediately back on to condemn him as such and to apologise for not being aware of his sectarian sentiments. I do think this is a case of having to back up your assertions Wats because there's not much worse you can accuse someone of than of being a bigot or a racist of some kind. I also take umbrage with the claim that just because someone comes from a Northern Irish working-class Catholic background, that if they didn't hit the "big time" they would have automatically become a terrorist. That's just lazy stereotyping and again, I'm surprised at a Jewish person resorting to that kind of characterization considering your people's history of persecution. Alas there is an unfortunate quirk in human history where the oppressed often become oppressors themselves. We only need to look as far as Palestine for evidence of that sorry fact. Still, I expected better than that from you to be honest mate. Having said all that, to be fair to Wats here, I think this is just a case of total ignorance rather than malice because I noted in his initial post he said Lennon would've been "marching around" Belfast, clearly unaware that it's the other side, as it were, in Northern Ireland who does the marching. This does however highlight how dangerous the internet can be when in the hands of the credulous, when any clown can say "Google this and that" and what a bunch of right-wing, sectarian zealots have said about someone is automatically believed to be true.
