Could somebody edit his page to add that he's now Celtic manager after Rodgers left for Leicester? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2804:431:B70C:9693:8109:CB2A:6466:406 (talk) 19:03, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
Would it be pointing out the obvious to say that a document, supposededly paid for by the Rangers Supporters Trust, written by someone in the employ of the Rangers Supporters Trust, hosted on a website which is dedicated to the rivals of the team of which Neil Lennon is a captain, might not be the most relaible and informed source for such a statement?
"Rangers fans accused Lennon of giving sectarian abuse when he shouted Orange Bastards at the Rangers fans and management during an Old Firm match. The Rangers Supporters Trust employed the services of a lip reading expert who verified the claim.[6]. The Trust also criticised Celtic manager Martin O'Neill, who escorted Lennon off the pitch, and later claimed that Lennon had been subjected to abuse of a "racial and sectarian manner" throughout the game by Rangers fans [7]. No action was taken and very little coverage of the offence made the media."
- Rangers Supporters Trusts are not the best source of unbiased information with regards to Glasgow Celtic or their players.
- The source to 'verify' the claims of the Rangers Supporters Trust is a single PDF file created and hosted by the Rangers Supporters Trust.
- Quotes, and information relating to Martin O'Neill should be in the Martin O'Neill page, not Neil Lennons. This would be an indicator of the general NPOV of this section.
Any thoughts anyone? --McTrumpet 23:42, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
The incident did occur, and it was mentioned by Graham Spiers both in print and on the radio. There is now no mention of Martin O'Neil in relation to this incident in the article.
The source is both reputable and verifiable. An independent lip reading expert was used. KarateKid7 01:11, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Personally, I don't have a problem with a mention of the incident/alleged incident, as long as it's made clear who is making the allegation (earlier edits didn't), and I would prefer if the word "independent" was removed - if a group employs someone to back up their claim, is that person "independent"? I think readers are quite capable of reading the edit, noting that it comes from fans of Lennon's arch-rivals (note: not even from Rangers Football Club, not from the SFA or SPL, not from Strathclyde Police...), and drawing their own conclusions. An earlier edit added that the RST also criticised M O'N for escorting Lennon from the field - I added a reference (BBC, I think) to O'Neill saying that it was because he felt that Lennon had been subjected to a tirade of sectarian/racist abuse all match - felt that added a bit of, er, "context". Camillus (talk) 20:38, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Ok That settles it I will take Camillus's advice as he is the best contributor to the article and I will remove the word independent, but I do think that it is important the claim stays. I have heard Graham Spiers refer to it on both radio and television and read him mention it in the herald. --

OK chaps, I've tried to discuss this on the talk page, but some users feel it acceptable conduct to make changes contrary to Wikipedia policy, without discussion of the matter. Fair do's. --TheMadTim 00:49, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
No mention of him getting a boot in his face from Alan Shearer back in '99 or sometime. Was one of the most high profile events of that season.--Koncorde 21:29, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Absolutley nothing on his early career. Leicester is where he really made his name. Formed a partnership with Muzzy Izzet and won 2 League Cups. This is a major 4 years in his career and is the reason he got a move to Celtic, due to his performances at Leicester. 90.212.204.30 (talk) 08:47, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
Neil Lennon is a poo — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.69.239.188 (talk) 08:08, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
... on his time at Leicster. I would say he was at the top of his game when he played for them. Any Fox fans out there? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattun0211 (talk • contribs) 02:45, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
((edit semi-protected)) <However, the investigation was an open and closed case as the alleged victim confirmed that Neil Lennon had not made any racist comments towards. This was a fictious charge made by people of below average intelligence, in a malicious attempt to besmirch Neil Lennon>

Problems in the personal life section:
Details regarding the parcel bombing episode have been added by DJ619 without any referencing. Not sure how he did it if the article's protected, but there you go. Some of the information can be referenced here [1] so I support keeping some of the details in, but I cannot find anything to support the "Ulster loyalists are alleged to have done it" part. I think that paragraph should be removed per WP:BLP until a reliable source can be found to support it.
So, in template-dictated format:
Please remove "Ulster loyalists were suspected of sending them. The loyalists' constant targeting of Lennon stems from his playing and managerial spells at Celtic, who are a team with strong historical links to the Republic of Ireland; whereas Lennon is from Northern Ireland, a country both religiously and politically different from the Republic of Ireland.
The two differences are however, inter-linked."
Please add reference [2] to preceding paragraph.
Also, sorry if I did this wrong. First edit :) almightybob (pray) 18:43, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Reference 44 does no support the sentence that cites it. Although the article was penned in April, the suspect packages were intercepted on 26th March and "two days later". The paragraph suggests the packages were sent in April, and as far as I know, DeLoreans don't do the post round in Scotland. Yet.

Can anyone add some background as to why he is getting sent bombs and bullets, being attacked by fans etc. I know about the Old Firm rivalry, but this type of this is out of the ordinary! Is there any known context for this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.144.9.158 (talk) 10:03, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Its because when it was all kicking off at the old firm match lennon shouted "ORANGE BASTARDS" at the rangers manager and fans. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.25.27.239 (talk) 16:12, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
Why has someone put SPL runner up under manager stats? No other manager in Wikipedia gets that mention. I would remove it myself but article is protected.--2.218.240.156 (talk) 22:56, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
This user is a friend of mine and if its ok with everyone I've removed the runner up material in manager stats. There supposed to be what managers have won not what they almost won.--BadSynergy (talk) 22:59, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
Are there any other sources for the claim that Lennon said he wanted to play for an All-Ireland football team (like the All-Ireland rugby team)? Looks like hearsay, rather than evidence.
The main reason Neil Lennon retired in August 2002 from playing internationally was because of a death threat received as a consequence of being made captain of the Northern Ireland soccer team while a Glasgow Celtic player. In March 2001 Neil Lennon then being a Glasgow Celtic player had to endure alot of booing from a section of the Northern Ireland fans.

Should read
Although he was also linked with a move to Crystal Palace in a player-coach role in the summer of 2006,[30]
The link to the BBC confirms that Palace already had a manager, and would be attempting to sign Lennon as he'd already worked with Peter Taylor before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.30.124.15 (talk) 14:35, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I think in the sentence "Lennon made his international debut for Northern Ireland on 11 June 1994 when he come on as a substitute in a friendly against Mexico in Miami." it should be written that "he came" (in the past tense). Can someone allowed to modify the article do this change? --Leo.hoerter (talk) 18:50, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
