Wait a minute here. You clearly claimed in an earlier posting that Lennon was racist towards Diouf. I asked you what evidence you had to support this. Your response above has provided absolutely no evidence to substantiate your claim. In your view, looking on You Tube and seeing John Clark looking disgusted = Neil Lennon being guilty of racist abuse. Go and hang your head in shame. Oh and by the way, I was at the game. But what difference did being at the game make to your claims, your basing them on something you seen on You Tube. You're really starting to look silly now.

"Douif done nothing wrong last night for a start"
Would you like me to recommend a good optician:
1. Diouff shoulder barged the Celtic physio.
2. Diouff then made his way to the Celtic dug out and started abusing the Celtic management and subs.
3. Diouff then started things off at half time going up the tunnel.
4. Diouff then lost the plot in the second half and got himself booked.
5. Diouff then lost the plot at the end of the game, second yellow, making a red.
6. Diouff then disgraced his club by then making his way to the Rangers fans instead of leaving the pitch as if he was some sort of hero, rather than realising he let Rangers down with another crap performance.
If this is what you want from your players and you think there is nothing wrong with it, best of luck to you.
Are you off your head. Diouf got booked in the first half. He went over to get instructions from McDowall when Whittaker got sent off and Lennon had a go at him. He was walking down the tunnel with Bartley when Mijalby started the trouble. Finally he didn't disgrace our club, as a fan I have no problem with him applauding the fans and giving them his shirt. Think back a few years did Martin O'Neill not take Lennon to the Celtic fans after a loss at Ibrox.
Typical hypocritical Celtic fan, conspiracy what conspiracy now eh?

Was listening to the phone in on Radio Clyde tonight , i nearly pissed myself , a man ironically called Walter phoned in to say that the play should have been stopped when Sasa Papac headed Mark Wilson's shot off the line , as he had a head injury , and that therefore the goal should have been disallowed , what are you taking sir?
Strictly speaking, he is correct, the ref bottled it lol
03 Mar 2011 23:11:00
See you're not defending your initial claim then, clearly you were talking crap.
And to claim the distance from the bench to the edge of the technical area is approximately 20 yards is adding one hell of a lot of poetic licence to the word approximate. The goal line to the edge of the penalty box is only 18 yards, so are you saying that it's a greater distance than this (doh).
And from what learned body are you reading and seeing from that Lennon has been guilty of racial abuse.

What planet are you on. If Lennon ran 20 yards he would have been well outside his own technical area, which he wasn't. And if Diouf was going over the the Rangers technical area, why did he then go and stand on the edge of the Celtic technical area. And it was not the corner of the Celtic technical area it was right in the middle of it. Get a grip man - stop trying to defend the undefendable. The man is just a born troublemaker.

This is what started the entire episode between Lennon and McCoist which ultimately spilled over at both half time and full time. Does the guy deserve continued and sustained abuse not only from fans but Celtics management and players? Yet more evidence of racial abuse from last nights game on You Tube so can you honestly blame the guy for losing the plot? We all know hes no angel but with Lennon constantly baiting him, Brown chasing him all over the park to provoke him, im actually surprised it took him this long to snap. Celtic have been very clever with there constant provocation, player over reactions and hystrionics, press releases saying there players are completely blameless to manipulate the press, not to mention the pressure thay have put on the referees with there constant paranoia and conspiracy theories. Strange theres not been much mention of refereeing decisions during Celtics recent good run, only pops up when things arent going so well. Funny that but just coincidence im sure!

Oh yes you do. Martin Bain has said that Celtic's comments about referees earlier in the season influenced the referee last night.
Bain also said that Celtic players had abused 2 Rangers players in the last game and this carried over to last nights game. Oh, the poor wee souls that just can't handle playing with the big boys.

Not quite correct GTID. If Celtic win all their games, they win the league. Celtic are 5 points ahead, with Rangers having 2 games in hand, but is Celtic beat Rangers at Ibrox and win all their other games then Celtic win the league.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. If Rangers don't have a strong enough squad then only Rangers are to blame. Celtic went to Ibrox with 8 players missing who could have started and still won 2 - 0.

Diouf and Bougherra don't give a sh@t about getting sent off last night , they know they won't be here next season , all of the 8 bookings picked up by Rangers players were justified as from the first whistle they set out to stop Celtic playing football , they were for cynical little fouls , apart from Whittaker's who was far too wound up from the start of the game and was always going to get sent off at some stage , Bougherra was lucky to stay on as long as he did , he took Hooper out from behind , and should have walked sooner , Hooper has the stud marks to prove it , don't get me started on Diouf , he is obviously not wired up right , he barged the Celtic physio as he tried to come on to treat Izaguirre , he then had a go at Neil Lennon , who should have not reacted , in the second half he aimed a 2 fingered jesture towards the Celtic fans , who rightly have no time for him after the disgusting spitting incident in 2003 , he was then the ringleader in the mayhem at the end , earning himself a deserved red card , McCoist was not the innocent victim either , twice making remarks to Lennon and then stepping back , Neil should not have reacted the way he did , he was wrong to do so , but back to the game Celtic kept their discipline amidst the mayhem and deserved to win the match , bottom line is that Rangers spat the dummy and should take a look at their own behaviour , conduct and tactics instead of trying to blame the match officials , Celtic and everyone else , they let themselves and their fans down , and have to face facts .

Lets get it clear, the referee was awful last night. Is it a conspiracy against our club? No. Referees make poor decisions and what goes around comes around. My fear for the past year has been that Celtics conspiracy theories have been putting so much pressure on the refs that they would one day give everything to them and cost us a game. It happened last night. I'm not saying without the red cards we would've won but Celtic couldn't break us down so ET and penalties would've been on the cards. Ed what is your take on the red cards (ignore Diouf, it wouldn't have happened if the others hadn't)?

Fair enough Daviet I thought you meant our players. As regard the back-room staff Neil Lennon is a disgrace. The first incident with Diouf; why is he out his technical area? Why is Mijallby going after them down the tunnel? At FT McCosit reportedly said to Lennon 'why don't you leave our players alone'? Fair comment Lennon is the shame of Scottish football, as a player he was unprofessional and as a manager he still acts like a player.

Firstly i would like to point out im a celtic fan
but on last nights game i would like to to have some sympathy for the rangers fans Whitteker and madjics red cards were harsh also the coaching staff have to be told this behaviour is unacceptable i work at an a and e in Ayrshire and when i went to work this morning we had 6 slashing 4 celts 2 gers and 3 stabbing all celts if the players and staff of these two famous clubs don't start to realise there responsabilitys then the police will make these games be platyed behind closed doors COME ON PEOPLE WE ARE ALL THE SAME AND IT'S JUST A GAME SWITCH ON THE NEWS AND SEE POEPLE FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM AND HERE IN THE WEST COAST WE ARE FIGHTING FOR A GAME OF FOOTBALL

Right, Ive played football for many years in Junior level in Scotland and you do wind up players but watch the game again last night. El Hadj constantly getting wound up by every player and even the management team. Verbally. We all have a level where our tempers will snap. Ive been kicked up and down the park, had armpit hair ripped out when putting my hand up for a corner and had major brushing on my arm when player offer you a hand up after smashing you in a tackle(bas@ards nip you when pulling u up) and Ive never reacted, its part of football but I remember one guy saying he was going to shag my sister and my mother. Lets just say the guy regretted that. Hence why I don't play anymore(you guys prob read about it, it involved a dog chain). What Im trying to say is verbal abuse on a football park make you snap more than physical abuse. This needs to be addressed at all levels in Scottish football, especially Rangers v Celtic. Referees need to stamp this out and be stronger. Rant over. Anyway Rangers lack depth at the moment and Celtic are at full strength. If both were at full strength, I think Rangers would edge it. This will be shown at the end of the season. Billyboy

Release diouf from his loan contract, no player is bigger the rfc, some rangers players and management staff jumped on the band wagon and let rfc and supporters down big time imressed with the young ones(bartley, hutton, wylde, ).sell bougerra, lafferty, whats the point bringing david healy .
03 Mar 2011 10:22:05
I think after last nights carnage both sets of players and management should take a good look at there conduct. I also think the referee has to take his share of the blame. Whittaker and Bougys reds where both extremely harsh and i think he lost control of the entire game. McCoist and Lennon should know better, there both experienced enough to know that what happens on the park can have repercussions off it. Scott Brown, as i have said on here before, has to start acting like the captain of Celtic, then maybe he will fullfil the potential he undoubtedly has instead of running around "bear baiting" as i believe it is called. Davie Weir, at the moment, has more dignity in his big toe than Brown has in his whole body. The same could be said of Neil Lennon compared to Walter Smith but i guess dignity and respect of your opponent comes with age. As for Diouf, he quite clearly has flaws and the abuse from fans you can understand but constant abuse from opposition managers and players is just ridiculous. Rant over.

03 Mar 2011 09:54:20
Last nights game is the clearest indication yet that Celtics paranoia has finally got inside the heads of Scotlands referees! Whittakers first yellow? Not so, even Davie Provo said so. Bougys second yellow? Quite clearly wins the football. That is the name of this wonderful game we all love so much isn't it? Football not f*****g ballet. The constant hystrionics of the Celtic players and management team didn't help but come on ref, its a mans game! As for Dioufs red card, Scott Brown immediately runs towards him at the final whistle to wind him up again yet Diouf, the easy target, gets the red. Some of Celtics great captains of the past must be embarrassed that this clown is captaining Celtic. Obviously not Neil Lennon of course, there like 2 peas from the same pod, a pair of thugs. Bad losers, you can understand but bad winners? Come on! Anyway, not to worry, time to concentrate on the League and Europe Gers. Yes bhoys, Europe does go beyond halloween!
03 Mar 2011 09:19:32
Think everybody should take a step back, Firstly the grief El Haj took from the whole Celtic team and management was shocking. This is a man no worse or better than you and me, and everybody has their limits. Yes the guy's a bit of a hot head. But can you imagine turning up at you're work everyday and taking constant abuse from your co workers? YOU would snap. I think Mccoist was trying to say to Lennon to lay off El Haj, but both these guy's should know better. It worries me tho that if this sort of behaviour is seen as acceptable on the pitch it's going to be seen as ok off the pitch. IT IS ONLY A GAME. I honestly think Neil Lennon is vile, he should know his actions influence more than just the game. El Haj and Mccoist perhaps are no better, but there seems to be a common denominator.

After Diouf's show tonight Smith will see if its possible to send him back to Blackburn before his loan deal expires. Was at the game tonight and have it on good authority that Smith's fed up.
Shut up! What, were you sitting next to Walter at the match? Did he ask your advise on tactics? t**t!Diouf's a player alright, and he did no more than Ally or Lennon last night to "shame" the club. Go back to your own site to talk carp. .
03 Mar 2011 01:51:47
So now then , Walter , Ally and all the Rangers fans are feeling a wee bit hard done by , welcome to our world , but lets get it right , Celtic thoroughly deserved to win the game tonight , the referee could easily have sent Whittaker , definately Bougherra and Diouf off before he did , Whittaker had 2 or 3 niggling tackles before being booked , he was too wound up and was always in danger of a red card , Bougherra has been courting a red card in about the last 5 or 6 old firm games and should have walked for raking his studs down the back of Hoopers's leg about 10 minutes earlier , Diouf was baw deep in every argument and niggle , booked in first half , made a two fingered jesture to the Celtic fans in the second half , lost the plot totally to earn his red card and then defied the police to throw his top to the fans , Rangers were not at the races tonight , they set out their stall to employ spoiling tactics , niggle Celtic , try to nick a goal on the break and then defend like f@ck , at the moment Celtic are far too strong for Rangers and the players played well , got the goal and kept their discipline to win the game , you have no grounds for complaint , yous were beaten by the better team and had no answer , what a fickle lot
you are , so dry your eyes , and get on wae it ya poor things

Daviet- what do you mean ashamed by the discipline? Whittakers first yellow was never a yellow, Bougherras second never a foul! Walter has also echoed these points and Diouf would not have been sent off if these decisions hadn't gone against us. We were unfortunate tonight, played with more passion than 10 days ago, unfortunately refereeing decisions cost us.
