Matt Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I'm catching up with the news, I've been pretty busy so I only saw this today: <br></br> <br></br> <object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="390" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br></br> <br></br> What the hell has Lennon done to get all this heat? Is it purely sectarianism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Dog Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Nooo...did you have to bring this up on 'ere ? As for Lennon - well, just Google and YouTube the bastard (not that I condone assaults, bullets in envelopes and mail bombs).

Stevie_J Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I like the fact the guy can't throw a punch without falling flat on his arse. Lennon's always taken a fair bit of stick. Remember this: <iframe width="640" height="510" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ss_7WGYa9nQ?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> If this had been Cantona or Keane, rather than She-ra, the authorities would have been all over it.

There will always be a bit of nonsense when topics like this arise, just can't seem to remember anything as close and as scary as this.

OldhamSheridan Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 There will always be a bit of nonsense when topics like this arise, just can't seem to remember anything as close and as scary as this. As the Bin Laden joke went: "I heard the most hated man in the World had been killed, and I thought to myself "Who's going to get the Celtic job now then?" It would be pretty unusual for Hearts to be about sectarianism as there's not much of that goes on there (or Hibs for that), it's pretty much a Rangers - Celtic thing. But, he does bring alot of this on himself, and Hearts have more than their fair share of drunken dickheads willing to meet the other side of that bargain. I love the way he runs past Lennon's 24 hour security, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 They hate him for having been a Catholic captain of Northern Ireland. He was getting death threats long before he joined Celtic even as a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 And as i have posted before, if he had wanted to make any kind of sectarian statement he could have taken the easy route and played for the republic. It would be seen as not quite the right thing to do for a catholic boy playing in front of those seething bigots with their have filled songs, and i cant think why he did it other than to try and bridge the gap. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was getting death threats long before he joined Celtic even as a player. But that has nowt to do with the plank at Hearts attacking him. As I said, there is next to no sectarianism at Hearts (I've been more than a few times including a few Hibs ganes). Fans (not Rangers') hate him because he is a :censored:.

leeslover Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thats why people are sending bullets and bombs to him? Then why are they sending them to other people as well? You think chris porter is a :censored:, but you dont (yet) have access to the tools of a paramilitary organisation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bullets, bombs and :censored: are other people who have religious stuff going on. Two different sets of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Ok, so what has he done that is so uniquely twatish that makes supporters of these havens of multi-culturalism such as rangers, hearts and abeerdeen hate him so very much such that they want him to be in dear of his life? I am looking forward to this, you are really going to open my eyes to the sort of man he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking forward to this, you are really going to open my eyes to the sort of man he is. Again you are pairing them together. The ones that wish him death are the religious freaks, or as you prefer Rangers fans. The fan that knocked one on him (judging from his Hearts shirt and my experience of the place) was a pissed up plank. Hearts and Aberdeen hate him because he's a dickhead himself. Neither (especially Aberdeen) have no religious aspect. NB. It'll take a lot for Aberdeen fans to dislike Celtic (managers) as they side with against the Gers so much. They hate them.

leeslover Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I certainly agree that aberdeen have on love for rangers, having heard a hardcore oil worker describe the lovable glasgow chaps as, "filthy bigoted bastards." but there are many contentious managers and players in football. What has lenonn done? It must have been something special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldhamSheridan Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 What has lenonn done? Am I supposed to answer this? The first thing he did was play for Northern Ireland and be Fenian. The second thing he did was be ginger. The third thing he did was be an utter c&&t. He is not a fan of some clubs due to (1). He is not a fan of some clubs due to (2) and (3) - and this is where Hearts fit in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, but this is what I thought the reasons were. Glad to be reassured that it's nothing sectarian then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Incidentally, I was trying and failing to think of fans having a crack at managers, and was going to say that nobody had even had a go at Colin, then I remembered that someone did.
