Now getting fake bombs and threats thrown at you isn't acceptable but lets not kid ourself on its purely down to poor Lennon being oppressed for his faith.
No Kevin, any journalist with half a brain would no that 'Not Guilty' and 'Not proven' verdicts are announced every day in Scotland. Maybe if the PF wasn't hell bent on trying to prove there was a sectarian angle to the assault then he would have got a conviction.
In fact IIRC the attacker was happy to plead guilty to assaulting Lennon purely on the fact of his hatred for him but that hatred had nothing to do with religion.
Pushing McCoist and having to be held back from assaulting him isn't violent. Right you are Kevin. 
Thats where the real action is. Forget the kiddie on 'premiership' nonsense with the winners already crowned. Next season in the championship is shaping up to be a cracker.

Hibs took a dive. 
They know that way they will get at least 4 sell outs next year as opposed to middling crowds in the 'booming' SPFL. The only league in the world that has to pay broadcasters to cover games. |
I truly hope your have a more realistic grip on reality in your profession than you continue to have in this thread.
