St Johnstone manager Steve Lomas comes across as one of the Scottish games more progressive managers. His teams are organised, have a bit of flair and he seems astute enough to make the best of the tools at his disposal.
He also has been quite vocal in his backing of our manager – saying that he maybe gets it tougher than most – and this point was highlighted when he was asked about George Salmond’s performance during our comfortable 2-0 victory.
For the record it most be noted that Mr Salmonds performance was absolutely abysmal and he shouldn’t be seen anywhere near a SPL game anytime soon again.
Lomas said:
“Celtic Park is a hard enough place to come to get something, they are a fantastic team, they thoroughly deserve the championship when it comes, but we feel mightily aggrieved.
I don’t want to criticise referees, but in our opinion, Francisco Sandaza has a blatant penalty, the second goal is a free-kick on Liam and even the first goal came from a very soft free-kick.”
I’m sure the letter from the SFA is in the post.
Aye, ye’re right. Addressed to Mr. N. Lennon for provoking a reaction from another manager and causing him to criticise a referee. Got to be his fault. He brings it on EVERYBODY! Oh, forgot, could have saved a stamp and donated the money to help the S F ‘Biasdome’ or the SS FA. He’s coming in anyway to answer the other letters he got. Then again, it’s a week since then and that’s maybes too long. Get him in here. It would be easier if there was a rule that N. L. reports to the SF torture chambers every week to be held accountable for all public remarks by any manager or player in ‘Scottish’, no any remarks in any football. The truth must be stamped out. It is a blight on the efforts to ignore integrity and justice in our ‘great game’ and the determination to uphold the bias that the guardians of ‘Scottish’ football hold so dear. It interferes with attempts to protect and re-establish the shinning light of the game over in Govan that is under furious attack from the victims of its (dis)honourable behaviour.
Finally, he must not be seen in the technical area showing any enthusiasm for Celtic. In the stands he will be anonymous except to anyone who wants to attack him. That would be no bad thing for the ‘Scottish’ game.
