Deek Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 As much as I cant stand the man, bullets in the post! Whats that all about? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-12146316 Packages containing bullets have been sent to Celtic manager Neil Lennon and player Niall McGinn. The packages, addressed to the two men, were posted in Northern Ireland. They were intercepted by staff at the Royal Mail sorting office in Mallusk, County Antrim on Wednesday. The mail was bound for Celtic football club in Glasgow. The PSNI said the items have been removed for examination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats that all about? http://www.bbc.co.uk...reland-12146316 Pretty sad to be honest... Who goes to that sort of effort to wind the tube up??? As a guy who dislikes him for his antics in Scottish football, I find the picture of him getting pointed and laughed at is more than sufficient to sate my apetite for Lennon discomfort.

Sharpie Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 When you put it together with the thing in Arizona it tends me to believe it is more to be feared nowadays than ridiculed. There are mentally sick people which is compounded in them with an evil streak it seems everywhere now, and copycatting is not an unusual thing. I do not like Lennon anymore than anyone else on here , but one does start to despair with the nonsense that goes on nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think its a new thing Bob tbh there has always been nutters out there. I dont see the point in sending bullets in the mail to Lennon and Mcginn seems a bit childish to me.

Armageddon Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 But then does Neil Lennon help himself? If there's one man in the game you would expect this to happen to it's him, whether you think it's appalling or not, he really should learn to wind his neck in.

Same sorta thing happened to lennon when he was playing, he never played for northern ireland again! Aye, a valid point but of all the Celtic players to pick...I mean, you can understand it if he was Northern Irish and chose to play for the Republic but he, I think commendably, plays for the country he was born in. You'd think there would be more obvious tactics. Seems I'm reading more into this than the zoomers that sent the bullets though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the country that has "previous" - it's some of it's inhabitants. To call NI a "shit country" is both factually inaccurate and the worst kind of generalisation. I have no affiliation to NI other than as a tourist but you have obviously never been to the Antrim coast, Giant's Causeway or Strangford Lough. A night out in Belfast beats most of the cities in the UK too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a byproduct of the mass hysteria created by all and sundry regarding all things 'old firm'. It's the biggest and bestestest rivalry in the solar system doncha know...

Say What Again Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Paddy McCourt on the other hand........................................ You haven't popped anything in the post recently SB have you? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-12169869 Bullets in post target Celtic footballer Paddy McCourt Bullets sent to Celtic footballer Paddy McCourt have been discovered just days after a team mate and his manager were sent similar packages. The envelope addressed to McCourt, a winger from Northern Ireland, was found by staff at a Royal Mail sorting office in Glasgow. Bullets sent to Celtic boss Neil Lennon and player Niall McGinn at their club were intercepted earlier this week. The packages were posted in Northern Ireland and found in County Antrim. Police were called to the sorting office in Northern Ireland after postal staff raised concerns about the two packages. Neil Lennon, a former Celtic captain and Northern Ireland international, has received death threats in the past. Police investigating the first incident asked anyone with information to come forward.
