QUOTE OF THE DAY
Hotline
The fallout from Ibrox at the weekend rumbles on and the fact Anthony Stokes escaped the claws of the compliance officer has kicked off another round of tit-for-tat.
said: “I am astounded Stokes has not been charged retrospectively. It sets a dangerous precedent only two games in to the season.”
said: “If the roles had been reversed and Hibs were on the end of those decisions Neil Lennon would be getting asked if he wanted salt or sugar in his porridge in Barlinnie.”
But said: “Rangers fans are on the moaning about the Neil Lennon situation. How can supporters abuse a manager for 90 minutes and yet he is somehow to blame? Hibs should put in a formal complaint to the SFA and Rangers should be fined for their fans.”
said: “Lennon couldn’t be sent to the stand at Ibrox. He would have to be sent to a room under the stand like the last time there – for his own safety. Says it all.” Not all Rangers fans blame Lenny.
said: “I was in the main stand and gave Lennon abuse for being an ex-Celtic manager. But fair play to him giving it back. It was embarrassing seeing fans call the police and go to the stewards and complain he was gesticulating.
“So what, I was more worried that he showed more tactical nous than our manager.”
Meanwhile, Celtic fans can’t resist chucking in their tuppence.
emailed: “Every time Rangers get beaten it’s someone else’s fault. This time it’s Lennon. What Rangers have done very well is deflect
‘Bruno Alves was sent to the pie stall and Fabio Cardoso was sent for a skin graft on his backside by a boy not long out an Arbroath strip’
the criticism they could expect from their fans for yet another unexpected defeat to a visiting manager and the gullible buy into it.”
said: “What about that solid centre-back partnership at Hibs’ first two goals? What a laugh. Bruno Alves sent to the pie stall and Fabio Cardoso sent for a skin graft on his backside by a boy not long out an Arbroath strip.
“Lennon and Stokes used their experience to wind up a team, support and coaching staff that fell for it.”
said: “When is this nonsense at Ibrox going to stop. Pedro Caixinha’s tan hasn’t faded yet and he’s coming out with this ‘We are the People’ and ‘No one likes us stuff’. Then there’s Club 1872 releasing statements about Lennon, getting the police involved and petitions against referees. They used to say we were paranoid.”
said: “It’s time to put the Lennon saga to bed once and for all. Joe Public is fed up reading about how downtrodden Rangers are.”
Elsewhere, Aberdeen’s new stadium is still stuck in development hell.
Alfie Mullin, London, said: “Stewart Milne has warned Aberdeen they may have to play European games in Glasgow or Edinburgh in future as Pittodrie will soon not meet the criteria to host UEFA games. Dons fans need not worry about the travel cost though as due to their usual Euro form it’s not likely to be many matches.”
Hoops fans are concerned about contract rebel Stuart Armstrong.
James Fotheringham, Milton of Balgonie, said: “Why do players in the modern era need agents? Neymar’s agent received £40million.
“We now have Stuart Armstrong’s agent causing hassle. Can these players not handle their own finances instead of these people making money for doing not a lot apart from lining their own pockets?” CALL THE HOTLINE TODAY FROM 11 TILL 12 NOON on: 0141 309 3306 or email us: hotline@dailyrecord.co.uk
