Celtic FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014/15 Mod Warning post #6011

Interesting to note that they changed the phrasing of the charge against Lennon aswell.

“Clearly we are extremely surprised and disappointed.

“Fundamentally the particular disciplinary system in place is absurd — a system where such a case can be brought on the strength of two ‘complaints’ from people totally unconnected to the match, while a fourth official overseeing the technical area makes no mention of any incident to the SFA.

“Despite even supportive comments from numerous individuals including Jim Goodwin himself, this judgement has been made, something which we find quite astonishing.

“It’s clear that this decision will have huge repercussions for the game in Scotland and we are sure Hampden will be a very busy place now every Monday morning.”

Cant wait for Lennon's press conference :pac:

NL:Why all of a sudden are we sanitising the game,if that's the case every player will be booked/sent off,we'll be playing 5-aside football.

Celtic Football Club‏@celticfc2m
NL: It's so pendantic, so petty. Anytime you see a manger swearing is he going to be brought up in front of them now? (LB)


NL: I've no idea if I was a test case, ask the SFA, I don't know why they picked me. (LB)




Celtic Football Club‏@celticfc2m
NL: I'll sit my three-match ban but what's coming for the SFA? It's a storm coming. (LB)

NL: Why are they bringing the case up on two complaints, if it was one hundred or two hundred I'd understand. (LB)

NL: We haven't won it in front of our fans for a long time, it would be lovely to win it on Sunday. (LB)

Celtic Football Club‏@celticfc1m
NL: These are great days for us after a long, tough road. I'm really pleased we won the semi final, it was huge for the momentum. (LB

Celtic Football Club‏@celticfc1m
NL: If we're crowned champions tonight I still want the players to go out, win the game and entertain the crowd. (LB)

NL: We've made plans for players to get a holiday, we'll stagger that over the next few weeks and we'll get them back for the cup final.(LB)

Celtic Football Club‏@celticfc1m
NL:These guys are so fit a week won't affect them.Emilio's saying he doesn't want a hol but he needs it the most, he's playing through June.

NL: Kayal and Wanyama will get 10 days - two weeks but they'll be back for the cup final so they're still a part of it all. (LB)

NL on Stokes: We will be offering Anthony a new contract. (LB)

Delighted to hear that Stokes will be offered a new contract, a free scoring talented striker who wants to play for Celtic, would have been madness to let him leave.

Motherwell's win means we can win the title at home now tomorrow with a point. I hope Lenny goes out onto the pitch straight away and shoves the SFA's 15 mins up their hole. (Assuming we get the point or three of course)!

I hope Lennon does something that mocks the punishment, I hope he does something that the SFA cant do anything about but I wouldnt have a go at him if he did just walk out onto the field to celebrate the win because the SFA are acting the cnut and are going down a road they'll regret

Regarding the Lennon ban, I'm interested in what The Rangers' fans think of it - presumably you think any claims of an agenda against Celtic are total paranoia so I'm wondering how you'd explain him literally being the only manager to be cited for this. Like Lennon said it's an absolute embarrassment for the SFA, throwing their cards on the table for all to see and for such a negligible effect.

I have already stated my feelings on this rule its a farce but it has been in place fpr many years. It needs changed simple as that, As for your clams your right I do think its nonsense and really do you expect anything else

The linesman wasnt in line and its hard to see even with video replay, the benefit of the doubt should go to the attacking team.

Nice team move for Ledleys goal
