Blindheart Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 The Scottish FA has asked Hibernian head coach Neil Lennon to help them improve their disciplinary system ! Now I have a very poor opinion of both the SFA and refs but Lennon to advise on discilplinary matters. I know it's a bit of a fox helping the hounds but really -Lennon. I despair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Someone obviously thinks they have suddenly become an ever so clever little monkey by being a progressive thinking visionary. Lateral thinking. Added bonus of appearing proactive and inclusive regarding some of the health issues associated with Lennon.

avhudtheteeshirt Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 When I seen the Headlines, my first thought was "can't be", then realised he was put forward on Thursday to speak for the Premiership Managers at the meeting? So, it was probably on that basis he was invited to help? Must be up there with the worst appointment yet by the SFA and SPFL!!! CRAZY!!!!!!!

Darkwhisky7 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 What do we have to do to get through to the bunch of clowns running Scottish football, they are in their own wee world of delusion and incompetence. They are world class at f@#k ups, is there anything they do or get right that gets the ordinary fan praising them for doing. I don’t think so. Lennon is the last guy they should be talking to.

Riccarton3 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) Is there not something fundamentally flawed asking someone who is currently managing a top level club (I use the term loosely) to advise on the disciplinary system? Just sort out your treatment of Celtic and Rangers rather than trying to make it sound like you need help.

Deevers Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 It could only happen here. Rather than face up to the unpleasant facts about refereeing in this country, they decide to go down this path using someone who has been seen to be more than a little mentally and emotionally unstable to take advice from. The cynic in me thinks that the "Celtic " factor has much to do with this. That in to self says much about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Boy Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) A current SPFL manager? Jesus Christ. That’s a good idea... one who fakes getting hit in the head with a coin?... a man who threatened his ex with a knife if she told the truth about their relationship? The SFA need to pack up the big top, and get the **** out of town. They can take monkeys like Petrie and Lennon with them.

joondalupjambo Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 If this is true, and not just paper talk then I would love to see the written down definition of the role and tasks that the SFA want Lennon to undertake. If they want to be transparent then they need to issue that to the clubs and the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNox Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Appointing Lennon to advise the SFA on discipline is akin to the NHS appointing Harold Shipman to advise on care for the elderly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seymour M Hersh Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Does this make popcorn teeth beyond the authorities now as he's part of the system?

allystrachan Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 How can they ask someone who has had disciplinary issues the majority of his playing & management career to advise of discipline? how can they ask any current manager in the league for that matter??

Guest Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 It's funny when the hilariously dysfunctional worlds of the SFA and Hibs collide. Can anyone think of the common denominator between the two organisations over the last 10 or so years, when both have sunk to their lowest? A man with a well-known moustache maybe?

Shanks said no Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I didn't comment at the time as this felt like a wind up.
