ian1964 10,761 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Mar 28 2011 By Scott McDermott SPANISH ref Iturralde Gonzalez last night accused Neil Lennon of being disrespectful - but will not report the Celtic manager to the SFA. Lennon was sent to the stand just 33 minutes into the goalless friendly against Athletic Bilbao after a foul-mouthed rant at the whistler on Saturday night. The Hoops gaffer claims that Gonzalez over-reacted by giving him his marching orders but the ref insists he had no option but to dish out a red card. But Record Sport understands the incident won't be reported to the Spanish Football Federation, which should see Lennon escape more punishment from the SFA. Gonzalez said: "It's necessary to respect the rules of football, even in a friendly match. The Celtic coach was protesting from the first minute. "I'm a calm person and try to be supportive to players and coaches. But Lennon was constantly in discussion with the fourth official and that is not acceptable. It's important to respect the referee in all matches, even friendlies." It is understood Lennon asked to speak to the official after the match but his request was rejected by Gonzalez. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
