He's had to put up with a **** of a lot, doesnt excuse some of his behaviour at all though.
Oh dear, after all the ***** he's had to put up with over the past two years, still getting ignorant people making comments on the man.

Every manager says things, to defend their team, right or wrong. If we were talking about Wenger (the guy who said it was a gooner), then we'd be here all day long.
I don't think many other managers would have reacted well yesterday, after being told he can't even sit in the stands for the opposition fans literally wanting to kill him or cause mayhem.
They do, and they are still allowed to be criticised for it. A long list of things i could criticise SAF over, for example. Bu regardless of the **** he's been through, he does not make himself likeable at all. Bit like Dalglish at the moment actually.
Yeah could have been worse, Sammy played his heart out.
Was thinking maybe the last two results and the performances weren't great because Lennon's been in court all week long. Can't have had as much time training with the team, and must've been pretty stressful. Was glad to hear the fans singing theres only one Neil Lennon even when we were getting beaten.
I, personally, didn't watch the match [don't have Sky [which I believe it was on] and I never watch on a stream] but well done to Rangers on getting a result that they need. Celtic came close but it wasn't to be.
Also, question. Anyone know why Cha Du-Ri was starting instead of, say, Mark Wilson or Adam Matthews? Not been keeping up with team news. That and never really rated Cha that highly myself.
I really hate Neil Lennon. Always cheated,never defeated. They go on a 18 game? winning run, not a peep then lose two games by fair decisions and he starts bringing the game into disrepute, AGAIN!
He always blames someone else when Celtic fail, it's never his fault. A good manager has to take it on the chin sometimes.
I can understand why he was advised not to sit in the stands, it's just the harsh reality of the situation. He clearly did someone that merited being sent off. (his usual) What difference does it make where he watches the rest of the match?
Wouldn't mind him so much if he would learn some humility.
he's still at Celtic
Thought he was loaned out?
I'm surprised everyone is so outraged by a man who can't take defeat well, tonnes of managers act like this every time they lose: King Kenny, AVB, Wenger (especially him), Mourinho... I'll admit I haven't enjoyed watching Lennon's excuses this week. But I find it a bigger problem that everyone can accept with no issue, that a man can't even sit in stands for a football game due to who he is, what his faith is, for fear of him being killed? Why has no one made a huge deal about this, again, but focus on the less serious issue of not liking his personality?
The fact of the matter is many people in the west of scotland hate him for a very different reason and he is the total embodiment of that reason: and the worst thing is no one does anything serious to change it, they just accept it as a harsh reality. The fact that this behaviour is allowed in Scotland (haven't heard a word on that investigation into the awful singing at Killie- Rangers game) and even encouraged to a certain extent with tales of paranoia and prominent figures allowed to get away with the awful behaviour themselves (all celtic fans and NL are all just paranoid, walter smith and craig brown admitted to singing sectarian songs) is ridiculous, and wouldn't be allowed elsewhere.
I dislike him for very different reasons, which Kris alludes too. Very much like Dalglish this year (a man i formerly admired a lot).

Isn't it illegal to send decisions to the touchline, though?
I understand when people who aren't bigoted dislike the guy. Thats absolutely fine with me, your entitled to your opinion.
Whats not fine is that Scotland, and a lot of Scottish people are not doing enough about a serious problem, and often seek the excuse of him being unlikeable as an excuse for their bigotry. I find the focus on him as a person, detracts largely from the deeper problem. (Above)
