    I honestly think he thinks that’s normal behaviour. Thank Christ this moron isn’t anywhere near our club anymore.

    Ange causes more damage with his patronising “mate” to inane questions and decisions than exploding at the side of the park. Give me Ange any day over this absolute fud.

    Ange doesn’t even say that to be patronising that’s just the way he talks. If anything he’s too nice to the * that write for the rags over here.

    Shouldve took the * red card and ripped it up then done a Zidane right into the chest. Cheating scummy ref *.

    :fear:

    However id rather watch him do that than what we got during covid. A limp man sitting with his arms crossed not giving a *.

    I know it’s the way he talks but it’s the way he says it always makes me laugh because I know it will rile the right people up.

    Leeso has it in his head that Lennons a good Celtic supporting Irish republican when in reality Lennon couldn’t give a * about either.

    I think that was half the reason Lennon had such a woeful stint with us last year is because he tried to pretend that side of him had mellowed. Imo Lennon success in the past come as a result of desire, determination and passion to get the job done. There is definitely an argument to say it wasn't pretty but aslong as your manager is successful I think there can be a bit of flexibility with his conduct.

    There are many ways to skin a cat. We love Ange's approach but he is a very different manager to O'Neil let's say. Ferguson seen as one of the greatest football managers of all time had a temper comparable to Lennon's but again very different to the likes of Ange. Mourinho is very eccentric fella that does all kinds of crazy things but again a very good manager.

    This idea that Lennon has a temper and had a bad/shocker of a season with us makes him a terrible football manager doesn't wash with me.

    Likewise some of the greatest managers of all time have had some stinkers. Not claiming Lennon to be one of the great by any stretch but someimtes a bit of context need to be taken on board here

    From a very quick skip read it seems this is the first bit of silverware this Cypriot outfit have had some time. I think the touchline verbals will be forgiven tbh.

    Glad he won but * Omonia and their lot. If Omonia fans were Irish they would blame the Sein Finn for the occupation of Ireland while flying the DUP flag.

    that’s what Omonia fans are like - blaming the indigenous population for a divided island while waving the flag of occupied northern Cyprus aka “Turkish republic of northern Cyprus” that is recognised by no other country except Turkey.

    To be fair they sound like a good bunch

    Omonia supporters are known for their left-leaning, socialist character, with over 80% stating in a survey that they associate themselves with the Progressive Party of Working People.[51] Omonia is also traditionally regarded as the club of Cyprus's working-class.[52] Many of Omonia's supporters can be seen waving banners bearing Che Guevara's image.[52] Gate-9, the team's ultras group, was established in 1992.[53] The group occupies the North stand at the GSP stadium during home games.[52] Gate 9 has established relations with other left wing supporters such as those of Hapoel Tel Aviv and Standard Liège.[54]

    yeah, they’re so left-wing that they oppose the Zionist occupation of Palestine while defending the Turkish occupation of northern Cyprus. They’re scum and the most hated team in the Greek world - even other left-wing supporters in Greece and Cyprus hate them.

    waving the flag of occupied northern Cyprus is akin to waving the Israeli flags at Palestinians.

    they’re the type who think it’s edgy to burn the Greek flag, something that no other left-wing fan club does in Greece or Cyprus.

    Please provide a link but I couldn't verify that claim, I found the below though

    Sometimes things transcend what seem to be their natural boundaries and have a greater significance. The phenomenon of the Cypriot soccer team Omonoia is once such thing. Its full significance may not fully appreciated by those close to it, but it is something that progressive minded people far beyond Cyprus, in fact all over the world, may be surprised and interested to learn about.

    On the island country of Cyprus, sports teams have come to be associated with certain segments of the population. In soccer, (called football everywhere in the world except in the US), the main team associated with the working people is Omonoia Nicosia.

    Omonoia was founded on Cyprus in the year 1948 during the Greek civil war-a war between those, led by the Greek left, who had resisted the Nazis during WWII and those who had collaborated. At that time, the authorities of Cypriot football tried to get all the professional athletes to sign a pledge denouncing the Greek left. Leftist players were directed to denounce their political beliefs and, specifically, the Greek communist party.

    Many players refused to sign. Those who refused to sign included players who, while not being explicit leftists, objected to such blatant politicization of sport, something that was supposed to be forbidden. Some of the players who refused to sign the 1948 pledge founded their own team, Omonoia. Omonoia quickly became the most successful and, by far, the most popular team on Cyprus. Since its founding, the Omonoia fan base has been the working people of Cyprus and their political allies.

    Today the most fanatical Omonoia fans sit in the area behind the Omonoia goal. For historical reasons, this area and the fans who sit here are referred to as Gate . In this area the fans often hold up pictures of the Latin American revolutionary Che Guevara and communist logos like hammer and sickle flags and posters. The Gate 9 fans often organize impressive displays at the start of games using torches. Sometimes they create intricate patterns by holding up different colored placards. In this way, at the start of an early 2011 game against their hated rivals, the right wing team APOEL, the Gate 9 fans created a giant hammer and sickle symbol which stretched across their stands.
