Hostages sometimes start to sympathise with their captors in what has become known as Stockholm syndrome. Celtic could be said to be hostages to the corruption and bias of the MIB and perhaps the latest quotes attributed to Neil Lennon represent a peculiarly unique version of this; Stockhun syndrome. On getting a yellow from Bobby Madden for p[ointing out the bogus penalty award he said:
“It’s great. It’s like a warning to calm down. It’s fine.
“I’ve no issue with that at all. Bobby is a great official.
“I was talking recently about not losing my temper!
“I didn’t lose it that badly but you get a warning and that’s it.
“I was voicing my opinion to the fourth official, maybe a bit demonstrably and you’re not allowed to do that any more.
“But there’s no real issue there at all.
‘I was a bit disappointed with the penalty but I’m not going to criticise the referee for that.
“I was not happy with the yellow card because I just reacted the same way any other manager would have.
“But overall I thought the referee was fine.”
Then again this might fuck them up far more than had he come out and righteously referred to them as a shower of cheating bigots.
