"LEAVE THOSE SECRETARIES ALONE" AWARD OF THE WEEK Goes to Northern Ireland international and Glasgow Celtic recent signing, Neil Lennon who last week hinted that he may never again play for his country after being subjected to sectarian abuse by his own fans in Northern Ireland's recent friendly against Norway. Religious bigotry in British footy is deeply entrenched and still practiced by a mindless few. So mindless it seems, that some of these morons appear not to be able to tell the difference between sectarian abuse and secretarial abuse. "Hey Lennon, you can't type and your filing stinks," chanted sections of the Belfast crowd in wholly unreliable Diego reports. The Diegos say: Leave Neil Lennon alone, keep religion out of footy and leave those lovely secretaries alone. March 2001 "WHAT FOR YEW " GOLDEN GLASGOW KISS Goes to Jimmy McLean chairman of Dundee United in the Scottish Premier league who resigned this week after assaulting a radio reporter during a post match press conference. It's unclear what sent Jimmy 'Cooloocuckoo' but the Diegos would like to quash rumours that McLean took umbrage to our man on the spot, Jose 'Throbbing Blue Vein' Gorgonzola' asking him whether it was in fact true that had every one of the Bay City Rollers albums in his record collection.
