Lennon not happy about Gerrard's comments about being top of the league

[OohAhHuistra]

NEIL LENNON has hit back at Steven Gerrard after the Rangers gaffer said his side deserved to be top of the Scottish Premiership.

The Celtic boss took issue with his Old Firm rival’s remarks in the build-up to his team’s home game against Ross County today

The Light Blues are two points clear of the reigning champions following the Hoops’ defeat to Livingston and their thrashing of Hamilton before the international break.

Asked about Gerrard’s comments by a BBC Sportsound reporter, Lennon said: “I don’t know where that comes from.

“Yeah I’d quibble with that. We’ve had five away games and three at home.

“I’m always going to quibble with a comment like that.”

Gerrard and Gers striker Alfredo Morelos were yesterday named manager and player of the month for September.

The Liverpool legend said: “We are under no illusions how tough it will be to stay there.

“We have to embrace the pressure and aim to stay there, but it’s always nice to sit top.

“We certainly deserve to be there.”

Rattled.

they expected to romp it after beating us

Who's won more points dickhead?

Facts and bheasts dont really go

 

[Fin5769]

Lennon can go throw sh!te at the moon.

 

[OohAhHuistra]

Rattler rattled.

Good response. He really is a sad ugly wee 19th Century Terrorist bastard

 

[fazerboy]

He never talks about other teams, or so he said.

Spot on mate, the guy that doesnt make statements about other teams has once again made a statement about another team.

Strange comment

This should have a warning on it.

 

[Ruben Sosa]

The panty wetting on here never ceases to amaze me .
What does anyone expect him to say. “ Aye Stevies quite right”
Calm the fek doon and focus on real issues.

I can't think of any second placed manager who has said the leaders don't deserve to be top.

It's comments only a cretin would make.

 

[RabSpackman]

Lennon would argue with his own shadow... the depths of Scottish football coverage continue to plummet.

Consistently stupid questions and in this case a manager who stupidly responds and gives the questions credence.

 

[giogaddi]

He's a po faced little wank just like the rest of the filth. We're not allowed to enjoy it when we go above them or score last minute winners etc

 

[Cambuslang Bear]

This is it starting. He sounds as if he is feeling the heat and he does not like it one little bit. This and we still have the refs strike to come

 

[Gallant_Few]

I'm sure Gerrard is worries about what that tramp says.

Gerrard is just a class act. A Global icon who always looks pristine and who carries himself well and is respected and adored the world over.

Lennon is an absolute tramp who has abysmal oral health and is nothing more than a ned. And those wee done in football boots he wears standing on the touchline are a fuckin embarrassment.

 

[Dorrans]

Classless guttersnipe.

 

[jweebear]

Gerrard's getting under his skin, like most snake's I suppose Lemon will just shed his. In the meantime he's squirming.

He is a bigoted ugly wee clown. What he said didn't surprise me. No class whatsoever. We are talking football which makes his pathetic comments very much a real issue.

[Timardim]

Set up by the tim minded BBC to belittle any achievement by us , they knew exactly how popcorn teeth would react...and they got their wish

 

[BobbyShearer]

Excellent news.

Even better is him clearly not realising we are a side and dressing room motivated by this sort of stuff.

A smarter manager would be shelving his own irritation and ramping up the pressure.

 

[W S M R L]

Just win tomorrow Rangers . One game at time fu ck what they do

He is a thick and wank

 

[Blue 9]

Anything that upsets that wee w@nk makes me happy.

 

[BroomhouseBear]

An nothing story. The manager of our rivals would “quibble” with the assertion we deserve to be top of the league by a small margin. No sh*t!

 

[5*RFC]

Sit doon popcorn you total serpent!

[two2tango]

Thanks ya tramp

Gerrard will use this as motivation for the squad

go out and show you deserve to be top play with confidence style and go enjoy the game lads and stick right up Lennon

in public say we don’t comment on other teams

 

[El Buffalo]

Quibble sounds exactly like wibble. I predict great things this season

 

[Barrymoped]

What gets me is that the gaffer was actually being professional and respectful. He said nothing controversial whatsoever.

yet that utter rodent still took offence. Unbelievable. He is so thin skinned.

 

[Walter2]

Really who gives a"flying monkeys fvck"?.

 

[Amstel]

He’s right. I mean the haven’t lost a game fairly since 1888 and loved the world over

 

[daviemc1872]

thats right gerrard was supposed to say " we totally dont deserve to be there and by may i hope celtic are champions"

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

That manky wee prick will use anything, however trivial, to try and fire up his players.

Agree, but how long can a manager use the same angle to get that extra edge from his players mate ?

 

[mike myers loyal]

He's only a jobby toothed orc

I will be using this every time I mention him!
My new favourite description of him.

 

[Moreloslaces]

F.ucking orc.

That pretty much ended the thread. Nothing else needed said.

 

[shinyscot]

He's definitely feeling the pressure. Keep it up Rangers

 

[The Hiram Key]

Put aside the fact that I hate him beyond belief; I am genuinely struggling to see what he is upset with. He is a strange little fellow

 

[Stevie McDougall]

Tenement teeth is wan despicable wank.

 

[davydumper]

To me he’s an irrelevant skid mark on societies underwear.

 

[lwl]

They were shit, we were simply even more shit.

We were utterly dreadful that day, BUT... were it not for one missplaced pass and then us chasing the game, gambling our formation and throwing everything at clawing one back it was without a doubt finishing a drab 0-0. They were equally shite with one less mistake swinging it in their favour.

 

[fmp]

Now THAT is funny

Scum

[mayfairblue]

I find it hard to understand why he would even comment on this.

 

[BillHastings]

Laughable that the BBC even asked about this, unsurprising though.

 

[VGM]

Feeling the burn popcorn teeth?

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Wibble de dee

Tombstone treacle teeth is absolutely sliding out big brown jobbies oot his horrible gums.
