Seeing people say they hope we lose in thursday etc is shocking, as fans we should want Lennon and the team to turn this around more than anyone. He isn't my choice for manager and think regardless of the outcome of it this season it should be his last.

But this is a man who has took some amount of abuse from fans across the other side of the city for playing for us and now he's getting it from his own after 20 years giving everything he can to the club.

Its not working just now and i think this is when tactics come into play and Lenny lacks but all it takes is one good performance to turn things around. I do think the players are playing for Lennon, Edouard tracked his man all the way back to his own box for the first time ever in a celtic jersey at the weekend.

Confidence is HUGE in football and i think this is often overlooked we are extremely lacking in this but all it takes is one really good performance to change that and i for one hope to puck it happens on thursday night. HH.

07 Dec 2020 23:26:03
Team for Thursday 4-4-2
Barkas
ElHammad
Ajer
Julien
Taylor
Laxalt
McGregor
Soro
Turnbull
Griff
Eduard
We don't have wingback but we have plenty of Midfielders 2 banks of 4 get in their faces I think Turnbull could do a turn on the right side at least we won't be over run HH.

08 Dec 2020 00:03:51
sorry ryan bhoy hope i am proved wrong but lille will tear us apart on thursday lenny should have been either sacked or done the decent thing and resigned weeks ago.

07 Dec 2020 23:10:14
You seriously think one performance is going to make everything better? Every team selection just show up the lack of any awareness of where is going wrong. You could probably pick 11 celtic players out of a hat and leave them to sort themselves out and get a decent performance out of them. He has managed to suck the life out of this team by being dull, boring and predictably easy to counter. We have one of the best strikers in Europe, but continually expect him to play on his own against six or seven defenders, and then wonder why he’s become ineffective and accuse him of being disinterested. If I played for Lennon, I’d want to leave. He has managed to slash the value of the entire first team. As for turning this around, even a ****in broken clock is right twice a day.

08 Dec 2020 08:32:52
Lennon has stated he doesn't know what's wrong with the team. If he doesn't know then how can he turn it around. The man is full of B***sh*t.

08 Dec 2020 09:46:31
I will never wish for Celtic to get beat. And as much as I never wanted Lennon as permanent manager I hoped it would work out but from the second Rangers game I know and always said that he could not manage our club it's way above him . Now I must admit any respect I had of him has gone out the window if he had ANY love for the club he would have resigned months ago he can't be that blind that he can't see that the job is far to big for him.

08 Dec 2020 10:07:20
I hate to say this but this smells of the hibs situation when it went from the feel good factor to down right terrible. the board are just giving the fans the two finger treatment and will not give in to demands. godchelpnthem when fans get back into the ground it will be chaos.

07 Dec 2020 21:38:32
Just throwing it out there as a alternative, if lenny did go, would anyone have damien duff. I know he was well respected and seems football while he was there was good. From what i read he is a very good coach. Just trying to think of someone who loves the club and if we are going to take a gamble, who knows it might work out. I know he left because of family reason but said it was a really hard decision could this be a option to him maybe returning? Just trying to think outside from who we normally get linked with. Might be more forward thinking type of coach/ manager.

{Ed007's Note - Damien Duff??? He was an under 15s coach in the League of Ireland 2 years ago. We need to move away from appointing managers & coaches because they have a connection to the Club, sure it's a bonus if you're looking at the MON, Rodgers or Moyes level but their coaching/managing skills must be the priority.}

07 Dec 2020 21:59:11
Ed007 I agree about moving away from this celtic connection ideology. Fans out there forget it was a man with no ties to the club whatsoever who stopped Rangers (R. I. P) in their quest for 10iar, Wim Jansen.

{Ed007's Note - It's good to have someone that knows the Club and the Scottish game on the coaching staff but the main man should be appointed because of his ability.}

07 Dec 2020 22:09:26
I read that his coaching methods were really good and players responded well to them, i would love a top class manager but just can't see who. Maybe someone like him with a older head beside him. Just a thought anyway never going to happen. Can you see them holding onto to lennon until the jan window then bringing someone in with a chance to get there own players in ed? Or will they stick it out with lennon in a hope of a turnaround.

{Ed007's Note - I think Lennon will leave sometime between the cup final and the planned winter training camp that caused the Hibs game to be moved.}

07 Dec 2020 22:38:28
SG was also managing kids just over 2 years ago. Not that I agree Damien Duff would be my choice and lack of experience is a factor but not the only consideration.

08 Dec 2020 00:04:11
I remember an interview with Duff he was very complimentary of John Kennedy and how thorough in every aspect of coaching he thought he was a top operator and seen him as a top guy in setting everything up for the gaffer.

What's went wrong is there's no personality in the team or the coaching team. Martin ONeill or Davie Moyes won't get a reaction from this squad but I guarantee their backroom teams would. Kennedy will stay at Celtic but there's got to be a go to guy for the cultural differences in the squad. Jermain Defoe ain't at Rangers to play every game he there to set standards and support players like Kolo Toure was with Rodgers. The games full of little cliques maybe Lenny feels threatened to bring in someone with a higher profile as a player than he had or the board just won't pay either way Gavin Strachan and John Kennedy need help. or it's ta ta.

08 Dec 2020 08:38:54
The only way this can be resolved is desmond goes, Lawell goes (or stops interfering in team matters) Lennon goes wherever he wants aslong as its not staying here.

07 Dec 2020 21:20:58
Our board only understand or care about 1 thing. our money. if like me you didn't take last years refund, you could get the refund and donate some or all to the 007 food bank appeal.

last years refund option

07 Dec 2020 20:27:48
Pedro I’ve just seen your reply about Rogic.
Flashscore make it 200 appearances for Celtic, that will be an Approx figure.
I make it Rogic has played 42 games in which he’s lasted 90 minutes for Celtic.

08 Dec 2020 09:45:13
Nice one Buzz, I know Rogic stats don't make for good reading.
To put his appearances into perspective, it wasn't that long ago that KT played more games in 9ne season than any other player in Europe - 60 plus games and this chancer has played 200 in 7 years.

07 Dec 2020 19:11:21
Board statement backing NL. Jees. To be expected from them imo. No words.

07 Dec 2020 19:26:33
How much P*** can a club come out with THEY SEE LENNY AND THE BACK ROOM STAFF THE BEST PEOPLE TO TAKE US FORWARD . I guess they haven't seen the league table I guess they haven't seen the performances on the pitch I wish I could get some of the stuff that they are on.

07 Dec 2020 19:29:49
Although it’s still in our own hands,
The board have left it too late and should be ashamed.
The small consolation now is getting the next appointment right.

07 Dec 2020 19:47:50
Looks like we are stuck with him for the season. I love the way lennon keeps saying the players have lost confidence in themselves or their team mates but never mentions they may have lost confidence in him. This is like a recurring bad dream.

07 Dec 2020 19:49:25
Blind faith. The board are culpable of gross mismanagement. The GB have every right to up their protests, even though the board will dig in. NL may see the damage he brings if he stays, hopefully he will do the decent thing.

07 Dec 2020 20:10:27
Up their protests? What does that mean?

07 Dec 2020 20:21:16
That's right.
The guy has delivered 5 of the 9 in a row and several cups.
Came back to us when the rat deserted us and he completed the job.
A few bad results. let's dump him.
Win Lose or Draw but we only sing that if it's really Win Win or Win.
The players need to take a long hard look at themselves in all of this.
Poor crosses, poor passes, second to every loose ball, can't backtrack to defend and slow. Hardly blame Lennon for that and the "give a sh*t" attitude.

07 Dec 2020 20:45:02
TinyTim bang on. The one line in Celtics statement that resonated with me was staying true to our ‘values’ with respect to how Neil Lennon should be treated. The ‘protesters’ and many on here couldn’t spell values. They know the price of everything and the value of feck all. Free the Parkhead Two? Naw feckn slap the Parkhead two.

{Ed007's Note - I've been saying it for weeks, JFP - people probably expected me to be on here gloating and giving it the Big I Am because of my feelings about Lennon and his appointment - but a huge portion of the blame for our current predicament lies with the players.
Where's their pride in playing in a Celtic jersey, their pride in the Club and chance to make even more history that will NEVER be bettered except by ourselves continuing to dominate? Where's the fight, passion and pride for the support that have backed them to the hilt and helped make them millionaires and finally where the Hell is their professional pride?
I know you don't want Keane (peace be upon him) in as manager but if it was him and MON a few players in the changing room would get the fright of their lives.
The lads protesting are quite entitled to do so just as we done back in the day but attacking the team bus etc is scumbag behaviour and never will be acceptable - maybe it's an age thing but there's still thing you should never do - and I just hope it doesn't come to the Celtic Da's going down to tan their ar$es for their carry on.}

07 Dec 2020 20:47:45
It has nothing to do with only being happy when we are winning, have you seen the performances, we are totally clueless there is no plan B, once we lose a goal there is no plan to change, as much as I hate Rodgers he had a plan ab, c, d he moved things around during the game small things that changed the bigger picture, Lennon does his tactics and leaves the players too it. When he makes subs it's usually too late. He never does the small changes. The man is a tactical moron. He should have been sacked weeks ago. The board will see the disappointment in the fans when the merch sales are down at Christmas or season tickets don't get sold. They have made a rod for their own backs and I hope they can sleep at night after the statement tonight.

07 Dec 2020 20:57:38
A few bad results tiny Tim! 2 wins in 12 isn’t a few! Sheer and utter delusion by the way! On our worse run since the 50s, out of 3 competitions before Xmas, no make that 4 because the league is gone! 8-2 over 2 games to Sparta, embarrassing against the currants with no shots at goal! Nearly 30 goals conceded in 12 games, on course for the worse EL goals against record ever! Not won at Celtic park since September! Manager admitting the players lack fitness, imagination, desire, confidence, hunger! But u keep up the burying the head in the sand! Said on here before that Lennon being hounded is it out of order. but after this he’s done in my eyes. can’t wait to see the back of him!

{Ed007's Note - Serious question and not just to you, Danny. See at the start of the season all that mattered was 10IAR and that was widely accepted by everyone so what difference does it make how many competitions we're out of?
We've still only lost 1 league game.}

07 Dec 2020 21:05:31
Ed 👍bang on. This Celtic da is away fur a greet!

{Ed007's Note - Celtic Da's CSC 😁 #Ar$esWillBeSkelped #BedWithNaeSupper #AhllGeeYouSomethingToGreetAbout

07 Dec 2020 21:18:34
I like your optimism Ed. and you just never know.
I’ve been wondering what Kev83 thinks,
Last New Year he was the only fan on here that wasn’t worried and predicted
Celtic would still win the league by double figures.

{Ed007's Note - I've not see Kev posting for a while 🤔 I hope him and his tribe are OK.}

07 Dec 2020 21:24:45
ED come on tae f**k mate! Aye 10iar was the main priority. but getting humiliated in Europe and put out of 3 competitions before December cannot be dismissed! Anyone who can seriously sit back and make some sort of argument for Lennon is suffering from severe delusion! Our record is absolutely atrocious! Not won at Celtic park since September! On 6 game winless run at home. I could go on and on! Yes the 10 was the holy grail, but that’s gone tae! So why is he still here! If anyone still thinks Lennon is the man to manage us then I’m lost for words! So staggering.

{Ed007's Note - Nobody's making any argument for Lennon and if the league was/is the priority what does it matter how many games in a row we've lost, it's still only one loss in the league.
We were humiliated in Europe when Rodgers was in charge, PSG, Barca?}

07 Dec 2020 21:56:48
ED there is no way we can get spanked by teams like Sparta and still have confidence for league games. yes we got pumped off the elite clubs but they are miles away from Sparta Prague! And what does it matter how many games in a row we’ve lost, seriously? I give up honestly! Enjoy the rest of your nite mate 👍🏼.

{Ed007's Note - Elite clubs - didn't we lose to a team from Gibraltar under Rodgers?}

08 Dec 2020 01:22:06
The Astana 2nd leg was embarrassing too.

07 Dec 2020 17:05:10
Hi ed007 been a while since I posted but I do still follow the site. I honestly believe we can still win the ten, but we need to change manager and get someone like Eddie Howe before it is to late as Lennon has totally lost the dressing room and no way of turning around our form. The board are treating the fans with total contempt but in the longer run it's going to hit them hard in the pocket with season ticket sales the fans deserve better so Neil do the right thing and step down and save the respect the fans held for you . Also Ed can you give me some details on how to donate for this years Christmas appeal.

"If he was a true Celtic fan he would have resigned by now"

One of my girls said that to me and we all know it to be true, he SHOULD have walked by now and taken Lawwell with him. But his pride is stopping him.
It saddens me to say that as I was a big Lennon fan, but this season he has made too many mistakes and never accepts his part in our downfall.
After the courage it took him to still live in Scotland, never mind be the Celtic manager his reputation and legacy has taken a mortal battering, but to now contradict myself, there are far too many people in this "greatest small country" of ours who are taking such glee at Lennon's downfall and are even more happy that our own fans have turned on him, because make no mistake their are elements of the Scottish media gloating that an Irish, Roman Catholic man is failing.
Neil, please end this with some dignity and let the Celtic fans remember you in the good times and NOT like this. hail hail.

07 Dec 2020 16:33:23
No need for us to join and add to the anti-Catholic abuse Timmaloy. Unjustified and Unjustifiable. Our wee parish priest isn’t cutting it at the moment. Haven’t seen the parishioners standing outside the chapel house singing ‘Father Father get tae f**k’ or lobbing stuff at his motor.

07 Dec 2020 16:34:23
Timalloy I think Lennon and board are naive if they think that things will settle down and protests will stop. This has gone on too long and things are going to get worse the longer Lennon is here.

He is only thinking on himself as he is not thinking about players having to run gauntlet leaving stadium.

07 Dec 2020 16:40:07
Sevco have been mince for years but still didn't have a record of 2 wins in 13 games. anybody else would have walked.

07 Dec 2020 18:02:37
Mally
Sevco Scotland FC have never had as bad a run as this in their history.
They’ve had a couple of bad runs.
Sevco only won 3 out of 12 league games,
which resulted in Mark Warburton losing his job half way through that bad run.
No Messing About There.
Murty only won 3 out of his last 10 games in charge before Slippy took over.

07 Dec 2020 18:33:29
Tim,
Lille still have to beat Celtic to guarantee top place in the group,
And yet they are 6/ 5 with Corals to win.

07 Dec 2020 14:03:45
I agree United Ireland, far too early to concede, but if it makes them complacent and even more arrogant, then great!

So whether Lennon stays or goes, the problem remains the same, as we have a group of players who want to move on, and whose reduced effort is dragging everyone else down with them, including Brown and McGregor amongst others. Lennon told us this after the champs league qualifier loss, but he had to row back when it became clear that they would likely be staying as no one was prepared to stump up their true value in the current financial climate. And then we were stuck with some petulant and unhappy players, and the club was stuck between a rock and a hard place, as we would have been the first to complain if they were moved on for peanuts without big money equivalent players brought in.

However, it's now clear that we should have taken the hit, and moved the troublesome players on, but hindsight and all that. But Christmas is coming and time for a clear out, and bring in players who want to fight for the Jersey. And also to give the new/ younger players a chance, as we would then no longer have to artificially keep certain players transfer value by playing them, when they have not the slightest interest in being here.

All is not lost, keep the faith.

07 Dec 2020 14:33:59
Belfast Tim concede nothing. Your comments made me think that again Dalgleish’s comments I posted earlier weren’t that far away although I’m no fan.

07 Dec 2020 15:01:31
We can turn this around only if Lennon goes. I can't believe he is still here.

07 Dec 2020 15:44:04
I agree Phil.
We have a glimmer of hope whilst it’s still in our own hands.
But that hope will vanish the longer the board remain incompetent.

07 Dec 2020 16:10:20
He's going nowhere.
For first time in over 50 years supporting celtic I hope we get battered senseless and totally rag dolled on Thursday night.
Europe's gone anyway but we need a final nail before next league game and Cup final.

07 Dec 2020 19:10:42
I’ll never understand the mindset of wanting your team to get beat. Even if we get hammered on Thursday he won’t lose his job. I’m totally scunnered with the whole situation. I’ve no idea where people get the idea we will win this league. There’s no chance we won’t drop more points before we meet them at new year, I just don’t see how it improves. The rot has well and truely set in.

07 Dec 2020 19:41:57
Steph, I agree with you.
I’m usually optimistic but we have become a poor team.
There’s no positives in that whole team from the goalkeeper right through to our unfit strikers. This season has been an absolute disaster from the start.
There’s no way Lennon is capable of turning it around and the board have let down the supporters because they lacked a Plan B and still do.
I don’t want a manager in now just until the end of the season,
I would rather we started to rebuild as soon as possible for the future.

07 Dec 2020 20:42:37
That’s my thoughts too buzz, start to look forward or we risk our top spot for a long time cos they won’t waste time in making sure they stay ahead the way we have.

07 Dec 2020 12:20:40
listen i know everybody is unhappy with the result like myself.

but to concede the league with 24 games remaining and 3 against the sevies is madness.

once we close there lead they will feel pressure as they have been 2 or 3 games ahead all season and there lead has looked better than it is.

07 Dec 2020 12:39:42
I love your optimism mate I really do, but at this moment in time there’s absolutely no evidence we’ll compete against rangers in those 3 games. There’s no evidence to suggest we’d wven win both games in hand. I’m not having a go at you mate, but fans needs to take the green tinted specks Off and see things right now For what they are, and right now it’s very bleak.

07 Dec 2020 12:42:45
United Ireland you’re right we’ve all seen bigger leads than this lost but it requires action now and the silence from the club today is both deafening and depressing.

07 Dec 2020 12:46:29
So as it stands sevco can lose 2 and draw a game and we have to win every game to get even close and there's no evidence to suggest we will win every game sevco on the others hand do. would we have taken care of RC yesterday.

07 Dec 2020 12:50:01
Totally agree with you Garry, ANY team in the league just now would feel confident of beating us. We are a millions miles behind Rangers. They are where we were during the time that Brendan was our manager. The Green Tinted glasses have definitely got to come off. We are in a mess, we have now gone five home games in a row without a win for the first time in 62 years. That says it all.

07 Dec 2020 13:51:55
And on current form and under the current management how many of those matches do u think we will win so united Ireland. Considering it 2 in the last 12!

07 Dec 2020 13:52:45
United ireland there is optimism and just sheer delusion, and I’m afraid the delusion one covers your post! Mate we can’t beat Ross county or st Johnstone at home but we will win our games in hand and we can beat them 3 times this season! Mate please please stop and see what’s happening round about us! Will we win on Thursday? No would u bet on us beating Kilmarnock on Sunday? Lennon and that coaching team are done! And no amount of trying to sound optimistic will change that!

07 Dec 2020 14:07:25
The very last thing any of us are doing is conceding the title in December; but the club/ team are not putting up any solid defense or indeed any determination to cement the ten titles in a row.
It will take a substantial reversal in form, attitude, luck and confidence from both teams to attain parity and we have all been hoping for signs of this for a good few weeks and still we wait.
Change was needed a month ago; but must be addressed now or we will be seriously talking about the unthinkable.

07 Dec 2020 14:14:35
i understand all your concerns and i am concerned myself with what is happening but i will never concede the league with 24 games to play and we hold games in hand over the leaders. turnbull has to start and so does greg taylor .

07 Dec 2020 14:42:52
The time for action was many weeks ago and the board let us down badly.
I still want change but it will come too late.
It’s only just in our own hands but that won’t be the case shortly with the news that Lennon will remain in charge.
I blame everyone for the crisis from the board, the management team and also the players.
No one escapes criticism from inside Celtic Park
But it’s the fans outside who will get the blame. How does that work.

07 Dec 2020 15:18:16
Rumour doing rounds board are backing Lennon untill end of season. If this is true, goodbye any slim chance of 10iar.

07 Dec 2020 15:35:50
philtim or winning anything this season including the Scottish Cup on the 20th. As a fan for 66 years I have defended the club during the barren years of most of the 50/ 60s and the cheating years there comes a point when you say enough is enough and it has arrived. Please Neil do the honourable thing and resign you can’t turn this around you have reduced decent players to a level of mediocrity.

07 Dec 2020 11:49:25
Long time reader but first time poster. As a long time supporter who has lived through the barren years and therefore has absolutely no "entitlement" attitude, the current situation at the club absolutely staggers me. I have no issue with being beaten by the better team in any walk of life. What I do have an issue with is the gross mismanagement of our club from top to bottom and on the playing side especially the complete and utter failure to sustain any kind of challenge in any competition so far. I have never been completely convinced by Neil Lennon but I genuinely thought because of his service to the club he was the romantic and right choice, irrespective of the totally unprofessional way he was appointed, to get us over the line to 10, or at least be able to manage a serious challenge. Any other manager at any other club would have left the building by now either on their own accord or by being relieved of his duties. Neil Lennon is no more entitled than the fans are to win every competition but what the fans are entitled to is to have their club run in a professional manner and that means having the courage to make difficult decisions. the time for these decisions is long overdue.

ed007, is there any possibility we will go back in for Fraser foster in January?

{Ed007's Note - I doubt it. Lawwell - quite rightly imo - doesn't like to be messed about and with Forster being a d1ck in the summer will have surely burnt his bridges. He can sit and rot on the Southampton bench as far as I'm concerned.}

07 Dec 2020 12:14:01
was it forster who refused to join mate. you hear all sorts of different rumours to club only offering loan deal and he wanted a permanent move.

{Ed007's Note - The plan was that Forster - who had told both Lawwell & Lennon he was happy to return - on loan this season so still getting his £90k a week for the year and then signing permanently next summer when he only has a year left on his Southampton deal. Lawwell had agreed this with Southampton but when contacted Southampton told him Forster had told them he wanted to stay and fight for his place or get a move to another Pub League team (remember Chelsea were keen on him but probably only as No.2 but on stupid money) where he would be No.1 choice.
By turning down the move to us he was gambling that he would get a move which obviously never happened.}

07 Dec 2020 14:18:00
leave him were he is then rotting on there bench if he messed us about like that.

{Ed007's Note - 👍

07 Dec 2020 09:43:47
I am pretty much sick of saying this but lennon has go to go NOW. If the board don't see that now then they have to go too. Enough is enough. My thoughts are the board won't do anything until either it's too late or they renewals are due then they will make a change to get the fans back on board. Their excuse will be to come out buy the ST to back the new manager in the transfer dept. Enough is enough don't renew until the board sort this mess. They are quick enough to take our money but don't want to act on what the FANS want.

07 Dec 2020 06:55:27
Barkas soft. ajer soft. bitton soft . laxalt soft. julien soft. that's our defence not one would put the fear of god in any opposition player and we wonder why we concede goals. and it's on the manager ajeti looks like wasted money barkas wasted money. But Soro and turnbull look the part but he doesn't play them taxi for Lennon.

07 Dec 2020 07:09:55
Mallly, for me it’s the players that’s been there the past 2/ 3 years or more that are more culpable than guys that have just arrived in the summer. That said it’s hard to argue the fees paid on barkas ajeti etc isn’t wasted money. For me barkas and Bain are on a hiding to nothing, our backline are a disgrace and would struggle to keep weans out a close. Lennon will take the fall and has certainly made mistakes, but the players for all the credit given over the years and rightly so, at this moment in time and from the start of the season have been nothing short of a disgrace. It’s evident certain players don’t want to be there and they’ve downed tools. Ajer, edouard, ntcham, rogic, christie. it’s been well documented who wants out so come January I’d accommodate the lot of them. The leagues gone, get a new manager in with his own staff, not staff forced into him and start afresh.

You can add McGregor to the soft list.

Good post Garry. The keepers are on a hiding but that shouldn't stop ajer sticking his foot out in Prague and stopping a cross or elhamed stopping the Milan wide man. but even yesterday barkas who wasn't exactly asked to work tries to hold the ball when a punch was what he should do. and again why will Lennon not use soro and turnbull more it's baffling.

Malley, I think most this season thought brown would be used sensibly so god only knows, and lennon why he plays most weeks and Turnbull and soro can’t get a sniff. Barkas doesn’t install confidence in me either so that begs the question, who decided to let Gordon go before finding out for sure Forster wasn’t coming back? I was all for Gordon leaving providing we got better but by god Gordon is far superior to the two keepers we have right now. Defensively ajer, elhamed, Duffy, bitton the whole lot of them have been nothing short of embarrassing and players coming out defending lennon are a joke. Not one of them brown, mcgregor, jullien, bitton and griffiths, every one of them have recently backed lennon yet their performances are shocking, and as for griffiths, yes I know he’s had his demons before anyone jumps on me for saying this but here’s a guy barely kicked a ball in anger fur two years, god he couldn’t even be bothered getting fit for pre season and he’s out defending lennon? Maybe if he knuckles down and stayed under the radar and played like he’s payed to do he’d be entitled to back his under fire manager.

Lennon is quite happy to take the plaudits when things are going well but doesn't want to take the blame when things are going wrong. That's called cowardice. Enough is enough go now Lennon. I can't believe how angry I am at my club for not fighting for this league but letting it go with ought a fight. Its embarrassing. Even when we lost 7-0 to Barcelona I think it was I still didn't feel this bad. I honestly can't believe how angry I am.

Celtic were first going for 10 in a row in 1974/75 season.
We were 2 points ahead (2pts a win back then) until we lost the New Year match at Ibrox and then Celtic fell apart.
We only won 4 league games in the 2nd half of the season and Rangers stopped 10 in a row by 11 points.

It would’ve been 16 points if it was 3 points for a win.
Celtic eventually finished 3rd in the league but still went on to win both the league cup and Scottish cup.

Everybody who seen what happened in the champions league questioned Lennon then rangers again was questioned europa league questioned then our hope for 10 in a row left in tatters questioned then cup questioned know we are in dire straights all questioned have been answered we are done with this farce and the ship has sunk humiliation has been handed to us as the question was not answered he lost control of players and the dressing room the season before the same manager was walking over Ross County and St Johnstone scoring goals for fun defending like animals now its a shambles so that's the question answered the same players know who they are should be ashamed and named.

I am all for a Rocky style come back and win the title in style. but I have to be realistic and say if we cannot afford to lose anymore games as it is that's not possible unless people start getting a grip off the situation especially the board.

they seem to think that winning the league with lennon Will be a forgone conclusion. they have now put themselves and I include DD and PL in the firing line.

Home truth time.

They once said they'd put down a tenner for every fiver we spent- we mocked them for arrogance. They wanted to win at all costs.

They were found out over the EBTs and the tax man. We raged, mocked then laughed at their demise. They were prepared to win at all costs.

They bungled their way through the leagues finally appointing a huge name in the game. We laughed and said no worries. They are prepared to go bust to back him. They want to win at all costs.

We chose cheap option, after cheap option, then panicked and got a proper manager who conviently was out of work, then went cheap option.

We thought we were cruising and counting the bank balance. They were prepared to win at all cost. And they will.

That’s it in a nutshell.
