I posted earlier in the season tongue in cheek about the black socks with the hoops about how bad they look ,and how bad we play when we wear them, as the weeks go on i now truly believe the black socks must go, all our best performances this season we've been wearing white, it's getting to the stage now when i see them coming out with those hideous black socks i say to my mates we'll struggle today. Can't believe i'm posting about black socks but i feel strongly about this, get rid of them.....Stevie(The black sock hater)

Superstition? Nah, I'd put it down to our players who are experiencing top European football but cannot motivate themselves to playing teams we should be humping. We will win the league, but Lenny has to bang some heads together. Nothing to do with black socks, although if I was to be honest, I think they just don't go with the green & white. Top of the league, still in Europe, still in the league cup, still in the Scottish cup, I wouldn't panic yet!

Im sick of our fans turning everytime we get a bad result, this is football and no matter what team you support you are gonna get bad games and upsets so so have a good look at yourselves before you start slating the team and manager. Seem to foget we beat barcelona not long ago but that seems to be a distant memory for some. Get behind the manager and team at all costs...thats what a true celtic fan would do! Hail Hail

I agree about some fans being fickle, we all are enjoying our CL campaign.
But we have a young team and they are still learning to cope with demands of CL then mundane SPL games. But I think some players are not giving 100% in domestic games. This attitude must change.
While I do not agree with person fans bad mouthing Lennon, he must learn it goes with the territory. He should not get involved in public arguments, it just gives his enemies (and their are many) more ammo against him. Lennon must learn to ignore the abuse and get on with coaching the players.

Lenny and the players know its not good enough. Fans have a right to expect, especially Celtic fans.
Complaining about bad performance is a right. It's how pressure is applied to improve. What do u want people to do? Shrug shoulders and say its alright? They know the score pro football is tough, they need to perform well every single week. They take the big money every week.

Why not just start winning games ?? thats what true celtic players would do ...

I suspect half the no-names passing comment about Lennon are fans of the now defunct club from the Asbestos Arena. We should just ignore them and people of that ilk. As reigning champions of Scotland, a possible domestic treble(although I would settle for a double and have another team win a cup to show the detractors again that we never really needed Rangers staining our game) and still in Europe after Xmas we Hoops fans don't really have much to complain about just now apart from a couple of dodgy results. Look at it this way, it could be a million times worse, Rangers might still exist......
Think how bad that would be......

Bhoys, let's show our support for our manager every sevco site from the rangers banter site to the bill mcmurdo site are raking up mud about him he doesn't deserve this after what he's been through. I must say mc murdo's site is nothing but a bigoted, biased site with only Morans posting to it and doesn't allow any comments unless they are sevco orientated. I stumbled across it because I like to hear both sides of the story, but that is one site or blog that I shall not be returning to.

Waw, just read it mate, what a disgracefull site. The blog regarding Lenny is incredible and the replies are even worse.
How NL has stuck it out at Celtic with that kind of people around shows how much the club means to him.
Never says a bad word about Rangers but its pure hatred back.
Scotalnd truly does have a long way to go when you read those replies.
I hate to say it, but i fear for his safety at times.

Had a read on this clown bill site. Guy is laughable,honestly properly got the IQ of a turd
I see the attendance rate is still giving the new co a semi,it's a bad day when your only high light is when you briefly talk about your team performance and more about how many people turned up at spl games. Where do the newco get this biggest team in Scotland from ? Also bdo are killing,terminating,burning,closing down whatever you want to call it rangers FC is DEAD! Your history stops at 54 league titles and stopping. If you win the div 3 then that's 1 league title and counting,if you wished your 'most successful' team in the world patter to continue you maybe should have listened to the yank bill miller who would have shut old co make new co and transfer the history over (somehow) but that was too easy you chased him and now your just the rangers FC who play in 4th tier Scottish football :)

Zombie chat mate dont pay any notice. Craig Gordon admitted in the paper 2 DAY AGO he doesnt know when he may be able to play again and that he's looking into coaching. What does that tell you? We have the best manager in the country by a thousands miles. Lenny is the man for the job. He should just learn to ignore f*nny's who lose the rag cause Celtic have burst they're football coupon. Serves them right backing a 1/5, learn how to gamble properly.lol

I see the DR is back to it's usual non-bias reporting. Stephen Fry is supporting the rangers petition. He has been out of it for a while so any publicity will do The DR states this tax case caused the demiseof rangers. Correct me if I am wrong, but the tax case was ongoing before they decided not to pay their tax, NI and VAT for the season. That non-payment was what caused the administration followed by liquidation was it not? I hope the taxman appeals b. 2 lawyesr vot against and accountant on an issue regarding financial irregularities (or cheating) Maybe they should investigate the taxman and then they might dig up some more dirt from the dark side.

The demise of Rangers was due to employing players they couldn't afford.
When they stopped the EBTs in their final year they couldn't afford all the PAYE and NI. With McCoist getting booted out of Eurpean football and all domestic cups, that was it! No revenue streams to pay the huge monthly salaries. The old board sank Rangers make no mistake about that.

The BTC was going for years before the demise.
What killed them off was the wages bill versus income.
Ally stopped all the income and the wages plus PAYE and NI kept going up.

The big tax case farce was basically what done rangers in.

Wake up big bear and stop being a dope. Not one penny went out of Rangers to BTC, so how could that sink a club? Not a single brown penny.

@4 At least leave a name when u are replying. I didnt say it cost Rangers any money so your post is a pointless one. If the tax farce hadnt been dragged out for so long then Rangers may have been bought by someone other than Whyte and alot of what has happened wouldnt have.

What a brass neck ur mob has someone else would hav bought it ? How long was Murray trying to sell it ? None of the consortiums or groups of deady bears could get a deal done why ? Because they wanted something for nothing so ur club died, short memories indeed wer u 1 of the fans giving it big licks when craigy white was clapped & lauded by all thru the front doors ? Let's think back to 94 before & after Fergus, ur mob & ur fans took great delight at every opportunity telling us we wer hrs from being no more. What's good enough for the goose is good enough for the gander as they say. We live u died 2012, hail hail ! AbS 1888

Big Bear..you go into administration & liquidation for debt you do owe, not debt you MIGHT owe.
If a decent buyer would have stepped in then he/she will still be there with a hefty investment.
