think titch is right and celtic have to ask lennon to resign- the club need to put their focus onto football matters and that will never be allowed to happen as long as lennon is manager, the man is just too hated by too many people for a variety of reasons. I believe if he is at the helm season the abuse will continue and worsten.

thats daft, so if a manager is hated enough by the oposition he needs to go... ? no the police have to do their job and catch the idiots..
the sfa have to do their job and police the game in the same way uefa manage to do so. and people need to grow up. problem solved and lennon didnt need to do a thing.

colin i believe that matters will only worsen for lennon- he needs to think about what he is putting his family through and the bad publicity the club is getting. No job in the world is worth that and remember the club will drop him like a hot potatoe anyway if he does not deliver silverware. Did you know that his family are taken to a safehouse everytime celtic play a game. Its not about giving into the bigots its about doing the right thing for me. The police nor the scottish government will ever beat the cancer of sectarianism and bigotry in scotland.

offcourse its giving into bigots, neil lennon isnt the problem the people hounding him are. and the chants of cheer up neil lennon were ill advised at best considering what the man is going through.

colin you can look forward to another season similar to this one if he stays which is a shame. This season will only be remembered for the bad publicity celtic and lennon recieved which is a real shame as they have played some decent football and brought in some really good players such as izaghari and kayal. Thats all forgotten about as in the scottish press its all about lennon every day not celtic and not the first team either.

i would rather look at how well the man conducted himself overall despite death threads, nail boms, bullets in the post and lots of secterian abuse

agreed mate im born and bred in glasgow 40 years so i know a bit of whats going on and theres certain things that fuel the sectarianism and create it. Maybe having one school system may help, who knows but one thing i do know what causes enormous harm is the old youre a protestant so you support rangers or youre a catholic so you support celtic. It carries on through the generations from family to family.

Yeah and the weirdest thing is I know plenty Catholics who support Rangers and Protestants who support Celtic.

My son follows Celtic and of course you know I'm Rangers daft. So I'm going to enjoy winding him up today

total respect to neil lennon the mans a god.....the huns musta got the league cheap this year after lenny hit the sfa with a few home truths........... he,ll never walk alone.

Lennon has risen above all of the bigotry and sectarianism thrown at him and our club, he is set to become a Legend @ Celtic and all the threats bombs and bullets can do nothing to get in the way of that. Dignity ? Lennon has it in Spades!

Hail Hail, Only One Neil Lennon.

Don't you believe the authorities should be responsible for dealing with any abuse, rather than blaming the victim of it ?

agree 100% handled it very well.

**johnboy1974** · 15 May, 2011, 17:50

yes guys agreed lennon handled that interview well but remember he has so far won nothing, fact is that if he doesnt deliver some silverwear soon then he will be disposed of same as other managers before him, regardless of how well the team played or with how much passion. Its a hard old life being a manager of the old firm.

ok rodboy so whats your answer to it all do you really think the football authorities or the police can bring to justice every sectarian or bigot in the west of scotland. you may think my statement is crazy assed but i think any man who would subject his family to life they are currently leading iss crazy assed. Life is too short especially your old firm managerial career. Celtic will drop him like a hot tottie if he does not deliver silverwear, FACT.
