Im not prone to giving him credit but he just did a nice wee piece about Fernando on radio.
Heard it myself.
My respect for him has gone up after that.
Good to hear, because the official celtic site shouldn't have bothered with their condolencesFair play to Lennon for that. Speaks very well.
Fair play to himI would now piss on him if he was on fire, spoke well about Fernando.
Fair play to him
Nice words from Lennon. It’s good to see he appreciates and relished the battles he had with Fernando.I would now piss on him if he was on fire, spoke well about Fernando.
Exactly BobThe guys back to being a bastard tomorrow, but he's put allegiances aside and spoken from his heart about a Rangers legend today.

He did indeed.Im not prone to giving him credit but he just did a nice wee piece about Fernando on radio.
What did they say?Good to hear, because the official celtic site shouldn't have bothered with their condolences
Not bad from him tbh. Well said Neil.
We lost a Legend today in Fernando and everyone who played for or against him should show a massive respect.
No age! A truly horrifying disease, but an incredible battle from Fernando - he will be missed.
A minimum one liner, compare and contrast to accies with a full paragraph, and other teamsWhat did they say?
Said to BB on the other thread that it never really hit me until I finished work and seen all the tributes.
Gutted mate.
Basically what any sportsman should say about another when they die, he did the proper thing of all pluses and no negatives about Fernando.What did he say?
No time for a dig or oneupping to be honest. What he said was genuine and respectfulA minimum one liner, compare and contrast to accies with a full paragraph, and other teams

That’s not true though. That was the twitter line, but it contained a link to their site which had a few paragraphs.A minimum one liner, compare and contrast to accies with a full paragraph, and other teams

I've since read the full article from Celtic fc and apologise for misquoting their extensive tribute, but from what I read had a screenshot of their one liner then below it a paragraph from accies, Dundee utd etc, seemed strange only showing a one linerThat's not true in the slightest is it? Let's not try and point score on a day like this ffs
“Everyone at Celtic would like to extend their most sincere and heartfelt sympathies and condolences to the family of Fernando Ricksen following today’s news that he has passed away.
“Fernando was part of Scottish Football for a number of years and for him to be taken so young is a huge tragedy.
“He fought this terrible condition with such courage and we should all admire and respect the inspirational way in which he tackled the challenge which he faced.
“He showed immense bravery throughout. Our thoughts and prayers of course are with Fernando’s family and friends at such a difficult time.”

He does sound genuinely upset in all fairness.Fair play. Nobody can argue that that wasn't genuine.
I think we will have the odd wee bawbag on Twitter and Facebook being vile and they'll gain some likes and most likely also a kicking at some time but on the whole, I don't imagine there will be chants or songs after this.Not heard it but fair play to Lennon for extending his condolences. Perhaps some of his club’s followers could take note.
