Neil Lennon slaughters Cypriot refs again as former Celtic boss insists officials are driving him 'crazy'

Exasperated Neil Lennon insists he "doesn't understand the officiating in this country" as he let rip at Cypriot refs again.

The Omonia Nicosia boss was left dumbfounded despite his side running out 2-0 winners over Doxa on Saturday. The former Celtic manager was sent off during last season's Cypriot Cup Final after losing his temper with the man in the middle, although Omonia eventually went on to lift the trophy.

But regardless of scooping up three points this weekend, Lennon was baffled by the time it took the officials to decide on a penalty call, admitting frustration with referees has been a theme of recent weeks. And he claims the slow decision-making drove him "crazy". Lennon said: "I am very happy with the win and performance. I thought the team were fantastic. My only criticism was we had to wait a long time for the second goal. Some of the quality of the chances we created were fantastic. The whole team functioned very well. Psychologically it's a huge win for us.
