BAZ the bear, i was replying to some nameless poster, a few posts down, who said " lennon couldn't play in the premiership because he was lazy and overweight. I have pointed out he did play in the premiership, and has actually won more than Diouf in England. In fact Diouf has won only one medal in his entire career, just putting the guy right.

Paddybhoy, i don't remember there being a debate about the number of honours both players have won and to compare them as footballers is pretty much impossible considering they couldnt really be much more different as players. The debate about there various antics down the years could run and run but at the end of the day neither deserves the extent of abuse they are subjected to.

Diouf is not hated by all in fact highly rated by many. Sam Allardyce has signed him to both Bolton and had him at BBurn. SAF said this earlier this year that Diouf was playing the best football of his career. As a celtic fan atheist i understand you will hate him but that doesn't mean we should, he is a good footballer and that's what counts, since coming to Rangers he has done nothing to suggest he is 'scum' as the media have suggested he would.

Sorry to burst your bubble mate, but here goes,
Lennon has won more honours in England than Diouf,
Two league cup winning medals, to Dioufs one.
Lenny also has FIVE spl medals, THREE scottish cup medals, and two scottish league cup medals. He has played in the Premiership, and has also played in a EUFA. cup final. So hope that clears things up a bit for you.

Simply not true. Lennon was pretty well thought of as a player (alhough, as Ed pointed out, he was also well known for his desperate lack of pace). I agree that the scarf spitting etc is wrong, but that was directed at the sort of people who have threatened him and his family. Neil and his family (in Scotland and NI) need to have constant protection. Someone posted earlier about yet another package being sent to him.

There are very few outside of (hopefully a minority) of Rangers 'fans' who have a problem with Neil Lennon.

Diouf, on the other hand, is reviled the length and breadth of the UK. No doubt he has ability with a football, but it is Diouf who is best known for the other stuff.

If you (whoever you are) are happy to have Diouf in your team, then Rangers are in a worse state than I thought.

Ye, Athiest i would probably prefer to see the likes of Wylde get a run but i think at the moment needs must and he will probably continue to play, at least until the likes of Naismith and Jelavic are back fit again. I understand why you have such a gripe with Diouf, as im sure you understand ours with Lennon but, as we have seen again today with suspect parcels, the rivalry goes way beyond belief at times.

Atheist Lennon spat on Rangers scarves, put his hand to a referee throat. Roy Keane deliberately ended a players career. As a manager Neil Lennon has squared up to referees. He is in every way as bad as Diouf. As for who managers would rather have; Lennon was a OK player at Celtic well known only for his behavior or lack of it. Diouf has played in the Premier League for several seasons something Lennon could never have achieved as he was a lazy, overweight player who contributed very little. {Ed001's Note - didn't Lennon play in the EPL for Leicester for a few years before joining Celtic? I seem to remember him running their team, though he was very slow.}

Baz, you're absolutely right. I think I've made my thoughts on bigotry abundantly clear on previous posts. Diouf should not have to put up with racial abuse just as Lennon shouldn't have to put up with the NI abuse. Maybe you can argue that both are simply reacting to a build up of everything that's chucked at them. Death threats and the like would make me react badly I imagine. That doesn't mean I condone some of Lennon's reactions.

But I simply don't believe that's the case with Diouf. I think he uses that stuff as an excuse to cover for his own vile actions. For instance, when he spat at the Celtic fan, did anyone actually believe it was for the reason he gave? Or was he simply trying to weasle out of it? Even then, if he'd behaved after that, nobody would have a problem. But he didn't. He did it again and again. Like I said, ask managers and players whether they'd prefer Lennon or Diouf in their team. It won't be Diouf.

Again, as I said earlier, you've got some good young players who are desperate for a game. Are you really telling me you'd prefer to keep Diouf in a Rangers shirt, rather than give one of the kids a chance?

Smith has been brilliant for Rangers but he has lost it. Same negative mistakes every match now. Yes we had a lot of players missing but Healy was available but too attacking to actually attempt to attack Celtic. Even when Weiss available will not use him. I come from lurgan and know what Lennon is like (and have very strong opinion about him) but he is not the reason for our problems. The sycophants need to wise up because our club is being ruined. Murray WAS good for Rangers, Smith WAS good for Rangers but not any more. Move on but not with Ally. If he really is in charge for cup matches I despair.

The team set up and performances of late make me ashamed to be a Rangers supporter. If we are weak minded yes men and don't be realistic our club will be even worse off than it is now.

Ye the Kerkar situation is a strange one, seems like the invisible man. The boy Hemmings looks like a star in the making, seems to score for fun but possibly a little early for first team duties. Hope to see Wylde getting a bit of a run and Hutton could be the player to add a bit of steel in midfield, just hope we have enough to get through the next few games unscathed n get some big players back in action. Hopefully Healy will get some action n get amongst the goals too.

It wasnt strictly a comparison, i was simply stating that Lennon was no angel as a player, calling Rangers fans "orange b**tards" and spitting on a scarf isn't exactly the actions of a model professional and i believe his conduct towards Diouf, like most people connected with Celtic, has been less than admirable, although most of it was expected and probably deserved. However, add to this the racist abuse from fans and possibly from Lennon himself (i stress possibly) and it goes beyond banter. As i have also stated repeatedly, Diouf is far from my favourite person or player and i agree, other than Lisbon, he has not done enough to warrant his signing but you cannot deflect the fact that he does not deserve the level of systematic, vitriolic, racially motivated abuse!

Maybe all the we done this but you done that nonsense should stop, its boring and its getting embarassing.

But lets be honest the only people who are continuing to push the issue are the MEDIA. Its always the same, they hype the game up, print their nonsense and then when it all kicks off they come down on Rangers & Celtic like at ton of bricks! These muppets are the ones which drive this hatred with the nonsense they print and most of them probably know that if every Rangers/ Celtic game when off whithout a hitch then they would be looking for a new job!

One final point, I bet the SPL just sat back and done nothing when really someone should have been on the phone to Sky the next morning demanding triple the money they are getting to show these games, because if this is the warm up fight to next season then it can only get better! !

There is a major underlying feature running through all that has happened recently in Old Firm games.

When Walter Smith came back to Ibrox, Rangers were in a shambles, he made a few decent signings and galvanised a group of players who were not the most talented squad he ever worked with. He turned them into a group that were mentally tough, played as a team, a group of players who were in the trenches together, played as a unit, and had a far, far stronger mental strength than Celtic, and when the going got tough in Old Firm games, these guys had been moulded into a team that could handle the pressure, give out the physical side and end up winning games. They wouldn't crumble, where as Celtic could.

Neil Lennon has now come in to Celtic and has started doing the same with his players, although it has to be said that some of the signings he has made have been top drawer for the Scottish game. Celtic now have players who won't give into the physical and mental side of the game, and in fact, can now dish it out better than Rangers can.

Rangers players are finding this difficult to cope with on two counts. Firstly, Celtic are a better footballing side and secondly, Celtic are mentally and physically tougher.

This was an underlying factor in the number of yellow cards and red cards the Rangers players received on Wednesday.

I'm sorry Baz, but I'm struggling to understand how you can even begin to compare Lennon's behaviour with Diouf's. I don't ever remember Lennon spitting at a fan once, never mind repeatedly. I don't recall Lennon ever standing over a player who's suffered a (double) leg break like Diouf did to Jamie Mackie.

I don't understand why any Rangers fan would even attempt to defend Diouf. In the short time he's been here, he's done more to drag Rangers reputation down than Lennon has done in all the years he's been at Celtic. And the football? A couple of nice touches in the first OF game and a decent performance in Lisbon. The rest of the time he's been anonymous.

I'd love to conduct a straw poll of players and managers throughout the UK - who would you rather have in your side, Lennon or Diouf? I think the result would be, to use a recent Lennon quote, emphatic!

Athiest, i do agree that Diouf was a major risk, i have said on here before that he was probably the last player i expected or wanted Smith to sign but perhaps he looked on it as a wildcard and its back-fired spectacularly because i think all it has done is motivate Celtic rather than galvanise Rangers. Despite all this there is absolutely no defence of some of the antics Brown, Lennon and the Celtic support have done to provoke and antagonise Diouf. Some banter and abuse is fair enough and comes with the territory, especially when you have a reputation like Dioufs however constant "bear baiting" and racial abuse is not on no matter what you have done in the past. The guys not murdered anyone and i think someone mentioned about some of Lennons antics as a player, he was no angel either and admittedly he has had more than his fair share of abuse but i think most fair minded Rangers fans would agree that most of that has been way OTT also but i don't remember him getting the hounding from the press and opposition the way Diouf has.

I've had time to calm down after "another" old firm defeat. Don't blame the players for their antics, blame Walter Smith, his tactics are a disgrace & embarrassing. The cup game was a one off game but Smith goes for a 5-4-1, lol, the guy is a joke & yes i am a Gers fan. I've always said, ifyou shut Celtic down & not let them play their passing game, they won't have a clue what to do but (good old Wattie) tells his players to give Celtic the ball, get as many men behind the ball as possible, then hit them on the break, wake up Smith, EVERY team knows your tactics now, plus to hit someone on the break, you need quick players & the only player who could hurt Celtic was sold to a Turkish team because you didn't want to pay him an extra £5000 p/ w, well done.

You obviously weren't watching Celtic couldn't break us down until Whit was sent off (wrongly). Celtics main threat is Izaguirre and by playing Foster as a RWB you combat that, as I've said before I would play Weiss at RM because his pace will stop Izaguirre going forward ad if he goes forward Weiss will have a massive hole to exploit. Smith didn't make the decision to sell Miller so don't even go there. If EVERY team knows his tactics why are we still in Europe it worked there. Don't go criticizing the best manager we have ever had. He brought us out the gutter PLG left us in and don't forget it.

Of course Martin Bain must defend his club. But he's clutching at straws with his "they started it" comments.

Players have always tried to wind opponents up on the park. Ally McCoist was a master of the art. Scott Brown is not doing anything different, although admittedly, he is perhaps less subtle in his approach. If you're not prepared to deal with that, you've no business pulling on a football shirt!

Rangers should never have signed Diouf. Maybe they (foolishly) thought he would/ could change but the evidence to the contrary is overwhelming. He was at the root of everything that kicked off the other night. Diouf should dumped immediately!

Martin Bain is doing exactly what Peter Liewell does in his role for Celtic, putting a positive spin on the situation in attempt to deflect attention from there own club. Both teams are culpable in one way or another whether it be Brown for his constant baiting of Diouf, McCoist and Lennon for there altercation or Diouf for barging the physio, there are culprits all over the place but at the end of the day Bain makes some good points, especially regarding the pressure the referees have been put under due to Celtics constant conspiracy theories and paranoia. He also mentions the abuse Lennon has given various Rangers players so he doesn't really say anything we didn't know already. Can you imagine the reaction if Smith was screaming abuse at numerous Celtic players or Davie Weir was going about trying to provoke Scott Brown? Wouldnt happen so when Neil Lennon and Scott Brown run about like a pair of thugs baiting and abusing everyone within earshot Martin Bain is more than entitled to defend his management team and players.

A quite astonishing statement from Martin Bain. It reads like a naughty schoolboy who's gang has been caught in the act, but who is still trying to shift the blame. . "it wasn't us mister, it was those other boys. . they started it. . "

The truth is Neil Lennon and perhaps Johan Mjallby are the only guys from the Celtic set-up who need to take a look at themselves and learn when to walk away. The Celtic players, Alan Thomson and other backroom staff behaved impeccably. But I lost count of the number of Rangers players/ staff who lost the plot. We all know who was the chief culprit and yet there are some of you actually trying to defend El-Hadji Diouf. Incredible! You cannot defend the indefensible! The sooner Diouf is punted the better it will be for Rangers. You've got decent kids itching for a game who would be grateful for the chance and who wouldn't drag your club through the gutter.

I've posted about my respect for Walter Smith many times. That respect would only increase if he takes the decision to ensure that Diouf is never seen in a Rangers shirt again.

Finally, we all know that Neil Lennon is a fiery character. It's part of what made him such a good player. But, yes, now that he is the Celtic manager, he needs to keep that side of him in check. But, we also know that much of the hatred being directed at him from sections of the Rangers support has nothing to do with his behaviour, and is more to do with him being a Northern Irishman who committed the cardinal sin of going to Celtic. That kind of mentality is the real problem here! It leads to people latching on to the least wee thing to have a go at him, others respond in kind and soon it escalates out if control.

I only ask that all decent minded supporters (on both sides) seek to wipe out that sort if thinking. It won't happen quickly, but little by little, it can be done.

Bottom line?

We were not good enough to beat them! End of. Stop bleating about it and get over it somehow. Trying to defend the fact that our behaviour was appaling is embarrassing. Fair play to those chastising the manner in which we played the game.

As for the behaviour aspect, there's a few things I want to mention.

1) The abuse directed at Diouf.

I've stated before that I do not think he is "suitable" for The Rangers due to his previous indescretions. However, no-one on this earth deserves abuse because of the colour of his skin. This is indefensible, and anyone who tries to is racist.

2) The "yous are worser than us" argument

It's pathetic really. Rangers "fans" and Celtic "fans" are as bad as each other. And "yous" try and defend it by citing inappropriate behavious by the opposition's fans. It's almost like defending murderers by stating rapists are worse! I'm all for loyalty. But I'm loyal to my club NOT the scum element which follow it. I'm also proud of my club but NOT proud of the same mob. (and "yous" is NOT a word, please get educated).

3) Lennon/ McCoist

We'll never know what was said unless either party tells us. But fair play to Lennon for decling to be interviewed after the game. Smart move I reckon. But ask yourself if you dislike the man because of his religion? If you do, then you are a racist bigot. I personally dislike him because I don't like his footballing attitude or approach. I don't like Naismith because he dives. I admire Weir and Gough for their leadership qualities. And I greatly admire Brother Jock Stein for his acheivements in the game. See the bigger picture folks.

4) I had a number four but I forget what it was.

As a Rangers fan I must say that all this talk about Wednesday's game is getting boring. We got beat on the night and lets just accept it, we had a game plan that did not work so we now need to look to the next game.

As for all the Septic fans coming on here posting their cr*p then just think back to helicopter Sunday, a great day out for you which turned out to be one of the greatest days for all Rangers fans, so with Rangers only 5points behind with 2 games in hand then lets hope you aint got carried away too quickly. You may have the Scottish cup practically in the bag but the league is the big one and Rangers are still in with a chance.

Dont forget we have no money, very few players but we are still the CHAMPIONS and are going for 3-in-a-row, so don't be so proud of yourself for being in the position you are as we are probably at our lowest point for quite some time but we are still fighting hard and are on your tails(plus also keeping Scottish football afloat on foreign shores).

Plenty of points still to be won or lost so lets see what happens. . . .

I have been told this morning from a very good source inside Ibrox that David Murray had to make a personal call to Walter Smith last night as he was totally disgusted with the antics of Diouf and McCoist Walter was ready to walk away News will break this afternoon that McCoist will not be taking charge of Rangers next season club to appoint new manager and backroom staff

I'm not saying either of you are right, but I have stated before, if it wasn't Rangers, WS would have walked away ages ago, maybe his frustration was just seeing his team/ club involved in a game like that. His heart has ruled his head for too long IMO. Maybe he realised he only had a handful of players he could rely on to see the bigger picture. Name any other manager who would put up with what he has regarding money/ transfers and still stayed? He will go down as a Rangers manager legend, who I hope accomplishments are never repeated. Billy McNeill was no angel, as Gerry McNees face will testify to, it was just WS was seen on camera reacting through his own loyalty.

Was listening to the phone in on Radio Clyde tonight , i nearly pissed myself , a man ironically called Walter phoned in to say that the play should have been stopped when Sasa Papac headed Mark Wilson's shot off the line , as he had a head injury , and that therefore the goal should have been disallowed , what are you taking sir?

Strictly speaking, he is correct, the ref bottled it lol

Off the top of my head, without going thru sky+ again, if he was over the goal line isn't that considered out of play like lying over the touchline? Just a thought/ question?

Wait a minute here. You clearly claimed in an earlier posting that Lennon was racist towards Diouf. I asked you what evidence you had to support this. Your response above has provided absolutely no evidence to substantiate your claim. In your view, looking on You Tube and seeing John Clark looking disgusted = Neil Lennon being guilty of racist abuse. Go and hang your head in shame. Oh and by the way, I was at the game. But what difference did being at the game make to your claims, your basing them on something you seen on You Tube. You're really starting to look silly now.

Im basing it on the fact that Neil Lennon can pretty clearly be seen shouting at El Hadji Diouf. The reason i mentioned John Clarks reaction is because there was an argument, on another site, that he simply called Diouf a "f***ing dick" but the reaction of the Celtic bench seems rather to shocked for it to have been something so relatively timid. Lets not forget Lennon has previous for acts like this in the spur of the moment, calling Rangers fans "orange b**tards" before spitting on a Rangers scarf. As for my being at the game, i wasnt linking that with the Lennon incident, i was linking it with the Diouf incident when he was walking towards the technical area. Try keep up! I would have some eye sight if i could see what Lennon was saying from my seat in the stand! Lets hope the Scottish mhedia don't bottle it from Celtic again. . sweep sweep!
