Did you not see his actions after yesterdays game. What a dick.

I can just imagine you frothing at the mouth, it's quite funny really.

For those who didn't see it, the Celtic manager had the temerity to cup his hands to his ears while leaving the field, probably so he could get better clarity of the abuse being screamed at him from the stands that he'd had to put up with for the previous 90 minutes.

The sort of personal abuse that if it were you or I would have us hurtling the hoardings to confront the perpetrators face to face, an option not open to the modern footballer (unless you're Eric Cantona anyway).

Had El-Hadji Diouf scored the winner and run past the Celtic fans with his hand to his ear, I presume your reaction would have been equally vitriolic, or are you just another bigoted hypocrite unable to see past the end of his nose?

Indeed, Lennon's pathetic behaviour makes it harder for people to sympathise with him, you'd think with whats gone on in the last couple of weeks the guy would develop a brain cell and act like an adult!?!? him and his vile football club deserve each other!

That comment says more about you than Lennon

I just think considering what's happened between the two clubs he should be smart in certain situations not try to escalate the matter. The man was even a prick in the post match interview.

Exactly. He should have kept himself to himself and not effectively goaded the fans as he did.

Indeed it says more about how i feel and what ive seen in the last 34 years of my life.

Though Rangers, Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen to name but a few may not be perfect i think i summed it up quite nicely

How about both the Glasgow teams just fecking get on with playing football and start to leave the sectarian pish in the dark ages where it belongs.

Speaking for several friends who have the decency to support teams from the town where they're from I know they're sick to the hind teeth with Rangers and Celtic. In fact when the 'old firm' come to town they like to stay as far away from the ground as possible.

The more cynical amongst us might wonder whether McCall has rolled over for his former paymasters again. What's that now 6-0,5-0,4-1 and 4-1 in the 4 matches. Should improve the goal difference somewhat.
Well done Stu! Sleep well.

However, those of us without a conspiracy theory to trumpet once again would realise that he was only the manager for two of the four games you mentioned above with the other two being under the control of Craig Brown who obviously must have been in on the act?

FFS they have a Cup Final in four weeks time, and cannot finish higher than fifth in the league but no lower than sixth. What do people expect....

a. He plays a first choice each week for basically no reason thus risking injuries/suspensions/burnout before their biggest game in nineteen years, or
b. rests a few, rotates the squad, saves his players whilst accepting a few defeats will be inevitable?

The intelligent amongst us know that option A is the only option. However, the intelligent amongst us choose not to follow either of the Old Firm and actually have a clue what we are talking about.
