0% Villa: Lennon attacked during Hearts match

[MonsXI]

People making a lot out of Lennon cupping his ears at Ibrox, funny how when Artur Boruc ran the length of the Ibrox pitch with a Celtic champions flag he didn't have to have police opening his mail. The fact is Lennon is a catholic born in the North of Ireland who played for the country of his birth and probably more significantly broached the subject of a 32 county Irish international team.

Artur Boruc acted like a complete c*** to Rangers fans, he blessed himself in front of there fans before during and after the game and wouldn't do it at  any other ground, so that ends the catholic shite
Lennon is the a horrible horrible little man, i would absolutely hate him to be in the Premiership and so would the 19 other clubs that face him. He's a bully to the referee's, he winds things up when they dont need to be wound up, and he knows exactly what he's doing.

CDVillain: He hasnt been attacked at Easter Road because there a Catholic club, well so they say, theyll bring the Ireland flags out when they play the Old Firm, in the same way if you watched the game the other day, you may have noticed the Union Jack in the Hearts end

Also id just like to add, that the level of abuse was so bad from the Celtic fans (aimed at the ballboys!!!) that they had to be removed for there own safety.

Neil Lennon ought to ask himself why it is that Celtic have had more successful managers, more 'Celtic-minded' managers, managers at greater times of strife in Northern Ireland and Gordon Strachan, yet none of them have attracted such a constant reaction as him. 

Right, so you're blaming him for parcel bombs and bullets in the post are you? Blame the victim - nice!

I found it interesting that, at the last match at Ibrox (the one after all the trouble between players and managers) Rangers - as a Club - handed out 40 thousand Union Flags to the home support. Whats all that about then?

No. What I was saying is that why do these things only happen to Lennon?

They are a British club, playing in Britain???

If we have an idiot spouting his mouth off in a pub and someone smacks him, then the person that smacks him is in the wrong and should be prosecuted for assault.

But the other bloke is still an idiot spouting his mouth off.

I come from a slightly similar background to Lennon and would share some similar religous and political views, but as a public figure in the sporting world those views have no place and he should conduct himself in a more professional manner.

Which is why I'm sure they do the same thing everytime they play Aberdeen.

Yes, because it has absolutely nothing to do with trying to wind Celtic and its supporters up.

Like I've said already, both clubs seem to only exist to wind the other up, the sooner they are both gone the better.

An attempt to generate support and atmoshphere for their biggest match of the season?

[K3Villa]

Well why not a Blue flag with a red and white stripe in the middle? The Union Flag in this context and at thsi time is the issue for me. We all know the relevance of the flag to both sets of supporters.

Not every Celtic fan is a IRA supporting Republican. I'm sure most Celtic fans are not particularly bothered by the flag of the state they live in being waved.

For those that are vexed by it, good.

[Ger Regan]

It's quite possible to be a nationalist without supporting the IRA you know. Some remarkable double standards being shown here.

Yeah, sorry it wasn't really a serious response to K3Villa's mail.

They both are as bad as each other.

Apologies for the sarcy reply so!
