Melanius Mullarkey Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 On the contrary. Lennon has very much gained it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Probably just existing. Always amazed how the very sight of NL has some people throwing themselves at their TV in a rage. Not just the **** either.Strange behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the **** either. Strange behaviour. I had a go at trying to understand why this might be the case. Lennon has experienced death threats & has had bullets through the post, as a result of playing for Celtic & for being a Catholic in the NI team, as far as I remember. He has also experienced negative portrayals in the press. Combine that with the remnants of an inferiority complex at Celtic, as a result of the Murray years at Rangers & you'd imagine that this would feed the GIRUY attitude that Lennon displays when victorious. However, most fans of other clubs aren't really thinking about this when they see Lennon celebrating another Celtic achievement, what they are seeing are the over-exuberant celebrations of a manager who has won another trophy for a club who are head & shoulders above any other team in Scotland, in terms of infrastructure, quality of playing squad & financial resources. This might help to explain why many fans of other clubs can find Lennon grating. Undoubtedly there will be people who strongly disagree with this, but you raised the point, so I thought I'd have a go at understanding why this was the case.

AJF Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Oh, there’s plenty I don’t like about Neil Lennon. He acts like a spoiled child when things don’t go his way. He is hypocritical in his defence of players that would draw criticism from him if the shoe was on the other foot. He is a bad winner, a worse loser and he goads and makes gestures towards supporters. Of course, Neil Lennon is not alone in displaying these behaviours, but it culminates in him being a very unlikeable person as others who display the same traits are as well.

Hes been getting it from opposition fans from the 1st day he arrived in this bigoted little country, from his debut at Dens and every away ground since, including being attacked at tynecastle resulting in a not proven verdict, shame it wasnt caught on CCTV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
