I remember he was talented and that he fell over a lot.  Surprised he never scored more in  but villa are perpetually a boring team anyway.

Must be horrendous for his family, thoughts to them etc

Always thought he was a horrible cunt.

 

Hope he recovers.

 

Agreed with both of the above.  Obviously hope he recovers but I've never liked him, spent most of the time diving and cheating when he was in the SPL.  Looks like this thread has outed some Tim sympathisers  :wave:

Was it just me that thought the ref got both pen decisions right? The Tim defender (was it Ledley?) had his arms up in an unnatural position. Webster had his arms down by his side. First one was a pen and the second one wasn't. Celtic shouldn't ven have been level by that point anyway. Fuck them. Fuck them in their stupid asses.

So how will this fit in with the current hun narrative?

Scottish FA charges Lennon for Scottish Cup semi-final conduct

 

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has been charged with breaking three Scottish FA rules for his conduct after his team's Scottish Cup semi-final loss to Hearts.

 

The SFA's compliance officer, Vincent Lunny, issued the notice of complaint to Lennon for challenging referee Euan Norris's decision-making.

 

Norris awarded Hearts a last-gasp penalty, which striker Craig Beattie scored to secure the win.

 

Lennon was recently given a two-match ban for criticising ref Willie Collum.

 

The Celtic boss has until 3 May to respond to the notice of complaint, the latest in a series of missives heading from Hampden to Lennon's office.

 

The manager ran on to the pitch to confront referee Norris after the semi-final and Celtic's first-team coach Alan Thompson later confirmed that Lennon had been to the referee's room.

 

Using his Twitter account later that day, Lennon ridiculed the penalty award and wrote that he believed some decisions awarded against his team were "personal".

 

Lunny has charged Lennon with breaching SFA disciplinary rules 203, 68 and 71, relating to his conduct at the match, his use of Twitter to criticise the referee and acting in a way that is not "in the best interests of association football".

 

Lennon's two-match ban from the technical area, the second game of which is Sunday's derby at home to Rangers, was served for his criticism of Collum for denying Celtic a last-minute penalty in their Scottish Communities League Cup final defeat by Kilmarnock.

 

And he was sent off by referee Calum Murray at Ibrox at half-time in a Scottish Premier League game on 25 March.

 

The judicial panel tribunal "imposed no further sanction on the basis that the half-game served outwith the technical area was sufficient".

 

The Northern Irishman has one charge outstanding for comments about the choice of referee ahead of a league game against St Johnstone.

 

The three SFA disciplinary rules Lennon is charged with breaching are:

 

"Rule 203: No member of Team Staff shall commit Misconduct at a match, including but not limited to committing acts of the kind described in the Schedule of Offences in Annex C (including where there is aggravation by any factor, including but not limited to prolongation of the incident; combination of different offences; continued use of offensive, abusing and/ or insulting language and/or behaviour; calling a match official a cheat and/ or calling a match official's integrity into question; failure to comply with a match official's requests; adoption of aggressive behaviour towards a match official; any racist, sexist, sectarian and/or otherwise discriminatory element; and the degree of any physical violence), breaching the Post Match Protocol and committing Unacceptable Conduct.

 

"Rule 68: No recognised football body, club, official, Team Official or other member of Team Staff, player or other person under the jurisdiction of the Scottish FA, shall in an interview, a 'blog' on the internet, on a social networking or micro-blogging site, or in any other manner calculated or likely to lead to publicity (i) criticise the performance(s) of any or all match official(s) in such a way as to indicate bias or incompetence on the part of such match official; or (ii) make remarks about such match official(s) which impinge on his character. For the avoidance of doubt this rule applies (i) whether reported to the Scottish FA by a referee for misconduct or otherwise, and (ii) where remarks are brought to the Scottish FA's attention, or of which the Scottish FA becomes aware, by whatever manner or means.

 

"Rule 71: A recognised football body, club, official, Team Official, other member of Team Staff, player or other person under the jurisdiction of the Scottish FA shall, at all times, act in the best interests of Association Football and shall not act in any manner which is improper."

Quite nicely it would seem:

 

Celtic boss Neil Lennon hit with six-match touchline ban

 

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has been given a six-match touchline ban - half of which is suspended - for his Scottish Cup semi-final conduct.

 

Lennon ran on to the park to confront referee Euan Norris after the 2-1 loss to Hearts at Hampden.

 

The punishment means the 40-year-old will watch the three remaining matches of the season from the stands.

 

The remainder of the penalty will be suspended until the end of the next campaign.

 

But Lennon, who has just served a two-match ban for criticism of League Cup final referee Willie Collum, received no punishment for a further two rule breaches relating to comments made on Twitter hours after defeat against Hearts.

 

The SFA ruling read: "The judicial panel found Mr Lennon in breach but imposed no further sanction based on the fact he was not responsible for the posting of the actual tweet."

 

Earlier this week, Lennon said that he planned to apologise to Norris for his behaviour.

 

He also indicated that he would not appeal against the penalty imposed on him by the Scottish FA's judicial panel.

Would have thought Gary McKay Steven or Jonny Russell were better shouts for young player. If Mulgrew is best player in Scotland then league really is fucked.

Celtic confirmed that it established one EBT scheme in April 2005, which BBC Scotland understands was for the benefit of the Brazilian midfielder Juninho Paulista. The scheme was worth £765,000 but the club did not declare the trust payment to the Scottish Football Association or the Scottish Premier League.

 

The payments made to the trust were declared in Celtic's annual report for 2004/2005, but in 2008 the club became aware of an event giving rise to a potential tax liability which was subsequently paid after agreement with HMRC.

 

So Celtic admitted the EBT payments were not discretionary and thus paid tax on this, good, that's what rangers had the opportunity to do years ago but decided instead to waste time and money appealing the decision.

But does this also clearly show that Celtic did not declare these payments with the SFA thus did not meet their regulations regarding player registration and therefore were playing an ineligible player?  When can we expect their punishment?

If it was Aberdeen or Dundee United they'd have been hammered already.

Can Celtic and Arsenal and the others who paid up now go after HMRC for their money back?
