When talking about the abuse he faced straight after his transfer to Dortmund you have to consider in which situation a player is when playing for either Dortmund or Schalke. If you play for one of these two clubs the last thing you should do is to switch sides. There is real hate between the fans of both sides, for either group the season is lost when their team is not the number one in their area even if they could reach a good position in the league. You could compare it with the relationship between Arsenal and Tottenham or Barcelona and Real Madrid (remember what happenend to Figo when he returned to the Camp Nou after having left Barcelona for Real)...
Nevertheless Lehmann is a great keeper and an asset for our team!

Yes, but should he get abuse from his own team?
