His touch line ban confirmed yesterday by the SFA for that 'nasty aeroplane celebration' after being subjected to that toxic sectarian abuse in the ultimate game of last season. Justice? Don't think so after studying the regular sectarian crap coming from Rangers fans through last season and not just against Neil Lennon who had the 'last laugh' and turned it into a piece of banter to 'rub their noses in it'.

The SFA/SPFL are a complete joke and have been since the Ernie Walker days. There has to be some sort of balance between the amount of abuse people have to take AND the weight of punishment when that person reaches their breaking point and reacts. Neil Lennon has been subjected to vile sectarian abuse for at least the past 10 years and on occasion has reacted to it BUT in almost every case has been punished when the abusers faced no sanctions. On any street in Scotland such abuse would have led to arrest and possible heavy fines or jail sentences but I can`t remember many being charged. Lenny on the other hand has been given at least 4 bans for his reaction.

Also remember the sectarian assaults on Neil Lennon 1Wattie, one of which placed him in a life-threatening position in A&E. Disgraceful in a multi-cultural, pluralist country like Scotland.
