I can see what your trying to say and actually to a point agree due to
safety,however why is it ok to go out and drink if you win but not if you
lose because plenty of players in the past have done that.And being fair i
dont know any boss that in any job so long as they are not on call that if
they have had a bad office day that the boss will pull them up for going out
that night (Unless they are on call then that to me would be drinking on the
job...not good!).I grew up in and around Glasgow during the 70's and 80's
and know just how bad it can be,but the problem was and sadly still is
sectarian based . And as i said before the point is that Lennon being
singled out has nothing to do with the way he played as most people really
did know . Sadly he will continue to be targetted by the sick part of
society happy to keep pulling Scottish society into the gutter . Im all for
hard rivalry but this kind of shit towards players and staff (and yes even
refs) has to be stopped . Sadly i have no idea how , wish i did!
