I see that Stephen Smith from the Rangers Supporters Trust has today called upon the SFA to conduct an investigation into Neil Lennon's behaviour , he has described the Celtic management team as "Out of control" is this guy for REAL? On wednesday 2nd of march at Celtic Park , while the Celtic players kept their discipline and composure on the field of play , and deservedly won the game , the same cannot be said of his own team who had 7 players booked and 3 sent off , in a game where they "lost the plot" and proved they are bad losers who can't take defeat (especially to Celtic) , the behaviour of Diouf and Bougherra was disgusting , and on the subject of racial abuse , Neil Lennon has been subjected to vile racial , bigoted , sectarian abuse and physical violence , even death threats to him and his family from very SUPPORTERS this imbicile represents for 11 years now or has this fact convieniently slipped his memory? Mr Smith it is people like you who are the cause of most of the problems afflicting this country , Rangers have the bigger problem with anti-social behaviour amongst fans , as recent European misdemeanors bear witness to , so stop looking for "scapegoats" and get your own house in order before you start blaming others .

Re can i ask what you mean
rangers fans accidently used a racist word to describe a black person in a song aimed at celtic fans and it back fired on them. i can't post the words. if you google mark walters and look at his history before jumping in with two feet next time. rangers fans did not sing the famine song back then.

Sounds like your trying to deflect the fact that Celtic fans PURPOSELY racially abused Mark Walters by making monkey gestures, throwing bananas etc and it certainly wasnt a minority from what i remember. {Ed001's Note - I am sorry but is this discussion actually going somewhere? Only I remember Everton fans doing the same things to John Barnes and Mark Walters in the past but it is in the past and time to move on and just make sure it doesn't happen again. The Diouf case should be seen as a separate and distinct case because the people involved should know better, times have changed and it is no longer acceptable to the vast majority of people.}

GovanFR, your completely right, the abuse that Lennon and his family are being subjected to is ridiculous. Ive actually met him a few times down Ashton Lane and he always seems a civil enough guy but unfortunately it seems to be something that comes with the territory of being a high profile figure with the Old Firm. If opposition fans take a particular dislike to someone they can make your life hell as we have seen with many OF players down the years, the likes of Novo and Lennon being the worst recipients of the OTT abuse. As i have said on here before, the minute peoples families and home lives are affected its unacceptable.

Paddybhoy I agree that with some sick people there is a witch hunt against Lennon, I was pointing out that you were accusing me of being one of the people that reported him. I have no issue with Lennon as a person but I would prefer to see him focus on his team rather than getting involved with ours.

GovanFR

From past posts I've read of yours GovanFR I wouldn't imagine you would act so juvenile, don't agree with some of your opinions but I didn't have you down as a nutter lol

It wasn't me that posted that mate. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Sorry mate. You must agree that everything is getting out of control. I've got a few mates that are Celtic supporters and after we come back from the football we have a few beers and a good bit of banter and we have all said that everyone is taking the fun out of this game. When does the sky sports deal run out? Does anyone think this is a all a set up between rangers and Celtic (McCoist, diouf and lennon) and we are trying to get a better deal with sky sports lol.

mark walters made his debut against celtic. i was in the jungle that game and celtic fans did throw bananas and make monkey noises. i was not one of them. but rangers fans forget they did try and defend mark walters but unconsciously sang a song that was racist as well.
mark walters stated that his worst experience was at tynecastle.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Can I ask what you mean when you say we did try and defend Walters and sang a song that was racist. What song was it? Don't say the famine song please. That song was ment to be a bit of banter but turned sour for some people after a defeat for Celtic in 2008. Most songs sung by both sets of fans should be just put down to banter and forgot about after the games. People should STOP spitting their dummies out their prams and just take it as banter. We won't be able to fart at the football if it keeps going this way. All this with death threats and that COME ON EVERYONE catch a grip it's only a game of football. In Walter We Trust

Cheers mate, i was young at the time and it was the Tynecastle thing I recalled, wasn't trying to make out Celtic fans weren't guilty of it.

Everything that's posted since the game on Wednesday is getting out of control. Lennon doesn't deserves what him and his family have been put through it is sick if you ask me. What he should do is concentrate on his own team and leave other teams players alone. Does anyone remember what nacho novo went through? He got death threats things posted through his door. Punched in the face when out shopping with his wife and child. His address posted on the Internet. Vile songs getting sung by sicko fans. His car getting smashed up 14 times. The list goes on. Plus other players from rangers have had their cars smashed up a few times over the last few years. Beasley, Sh*gger or that might have been his bird lol. Can we all just forget all this now and start getting a bit of banter about football. In Walter We Trust

I sit in the old stand at Paradise, just next to the VIP area (I actually get moved for European games so they can extend the VIP area, I get the full hospitality treatment as compensation on these nights). The steward there thinks he owns Celtic. Some of the stories he has told me over the years are complete s**te. i.e. Ranging from we were signing Rivaldo when he was leaving Barca to in January we were signing Bojan. Complete tosser, he turns up 2 hours before a game, gets paid to watch the game and expects me to believe he is "in the know". I regularly see players from other clubs, but that doesn't mean I'd come home and post we were signing them. It would just make me look like an idiot (aye I know some of you think I am anyway). Lots of players from all over come to watch Celtic and Rangers. How many players have came to watch Celtic because players like Rooney tells others. I'm sure alot of players have watched a Rangers game because of Davis inviting them up, or Robbie Fowler saying he was coming up for a game and some tag along with him. Oh and I wouldn't take pictures of any the players out of respect, it is their day off, and I'd probably get my camera took off me. Any pics I have of myself with players is took after training, outside the ground etc. Day after I got married took the wife into Celtic Park to drop off a thank you note for their gift and we got a pic taken with GS. She's one of yous by the way, but supports the Hoops!

Govan fr, i suggest people like the 200 rangers fans grow up, because this has turned into a witch hunt against Neil Lennon, and people like you looking at something on youtube and then making your mind up, add fuel to the fire. As a supporter of Celtic i will stand up for our manager in this sick campaign against him, or maybe you think it's paranoia.

Well said SickBhoy in my experience stewards only seem to act when somebody reports something. The only thing they seem eager to do is make sure people do not linger at the end of the match. So i'm going with paid day out.

I have been speaking to someone involved at rangers and he told me that rangers had opened talks with arsenal about compensation for kyle bartley who rangers are going to sign on pre contract.

What a load of Boll*cks, Bartley signed a long term contract with Arsenal at the start of the season so unles 6 months is a long term contract then how is it possible for Rangers to sign him on a pre-contract?

I have heard a strong rumour though that Arsenal may be willing to let Bartley go to Rangers in the summer as part of a deal to take McGregor to the Emirates. . .Watch this space.

I don't really think racism is a big deal in Scotland. By that I mean as common as it was/ is in places like England, Italy etc. I remember Mark Walters signing for Rangers and it was disappointing to see racism raise its ugly head, (was his first game against Hearts?? and they were throwing bananas at him? ?) It wasn't as if he was the first coloured player in Scotland. We have enough problems in Scots football without racism becoming one. Sectarianism, bigotry and religious intolerance are big enough problems and should be dealt with to stamp it out. But can anyone honestly say they have reported one of their teams supporters behaviour to authorities during a game. I admit I haven't but my friend did at Celtic Park, it was his 6yr old sons birthday present and some drunk headcase was giving Kilmarnock dogs abuse, after about half an hour his son asked if they could go home, my mate then reported him to a steward (who was standing 2 feet away and hear it as well). The guy was ejected. Do stewards actually do anything or is it just a job with a free match for them?

Govanfr, the police, the fourth official, and most importantly diouf himself never heard a racist comment, but you were hoping for one. And a wee word in your ear, condone means you turn a blind eye to something, i suspect the word you are looking for is condemn, happy to help you on that one!

Big game against PSV on Thursday. What do you all reckon the team will be. McGregor, Foster, Bougherra, Weir, Bartley, Foster, Davis, Edu, Diouf all seem likely but who else; will Weiss, Papac, Lafferty be fit to play? Should we play Wylde or Hutton?

I would like to see Weiss play, it gives us a wee bit more ability on the counter attack. Diouf up front, hopefully Papac at LWB and Whittaker in midfield.

Re-paddybhoy

I would not apologize because whether Lennon was racist or not going by what Martin Bain said they were 'verbally abusive' to our players. I was not one of the people who reported this to the police so will you now apologize for accusing me. This site is for Rangers banter and I was merely condoning racism.

I don't have any offical sources, but i do live in dundee and have a lot of dundee united supports as friends,

they have been going on about the conway pre-contract since we failled to get him signed on last day of transfer window,

but so far they are only says rangers want to sign him on a precontract (as im sure a few club will) and nothing about him agreeing it yet.

I have been speaking to someone involved at rangers and he told me that rangers had opened talks with arsenal about compensation for kyle bartley who rangers are going to sign on pre contract.

also rangers have been looking at a player called roger rojjas who plays for olimpia in the honduras league .

there was also an approach from aston villa for keeper alan mcgregor but that was rejected as rangers wanted 8million but they only offered 3million .

i don't know anything about takeover but i always say no news is good news

Said all along mate no news is good news for Rangers fans re takeover. Under stockmarket rules no one involved with the deal can talk about it. It would lead to some very nasty legal complications. The 1st we will hear is when the deal is done or the deal has collapsed.

100% Billyboy1., And i would also add that Any racial abuse diouf has recieved at celtic park is shameful, i thought we had left that stuff behind after the disgusting treatment of Mark Walters, but it seems some people have to bring race and religion into disliking someone. I have no problem with people disliking Neil Lennon, but not for his religion and where he comes from, likewise, i don't like El Hadj Diouf, but his skin colour or religion would never come into it!

Govan fr, if it is true as i suspect that Neil Lennon was NOT racially abusive to DIOUF, do you think that the pathetic individuals who reported him should be charged with wasting police time? And if it is true as i suspect, that you are probably one of these pathetic creatures, will you apoligise for being wrong. I SUSPECT NOT!

To Paddybhoy
You were right as Diouf has came out and confirmed Lennon was not a racist. I think after all that has happens that was pretty big of Diouf to come out and back Lennon he deserves some credit for that do you think?

Atheist, if it is true as I suspect that Neil Lennon was racially abusive to Diouf then it is completely right that he faces a probe from the police. Just because he is Celtic manager does not mean he is allowed to do whatever he wants just as the people threatening him should be brought to justice. You are taking a remarkably bias view point on this for a poster that can generally see both sides. Forget the threats for a moment if Lennon was racist he deserves punishment. Would you agree?
