Hi Bhoys and Ghirls, first time poster. Be gentle. I think we have to keep the faith as the name suggests. Neil Francis Lennon is the man to take us forward we need to believe, I'm a believer. The new club have had their best start in 53 years. We are going through a blip,
We should be united instead of arguing as they will fold like a pack of cards and when they do we will be there to hand the banter baton back so to speak. Some of the comments I read and the scenes we see are not what celtic is all about, we are better than this. And to the fan that has started a petition to refund season ticket money should hang their head. 10iar will happen.

Hopefully it will end up with the same result as 53 years ago,
With Celtic winning the title.

Can I just ask, you mention the "new club" but say they have had there best start in 53 years, don't you mean 8 years?
Also why and where has this "Frances" bit came from?
I have followed Celtic since the mid 70's and have Never known the fans to start using a player's or managers middle name until Neil Lennon was given a free ride and handed the managers job for the second time.
Why have the fans started doing this with Lennon.

Welcome aboard keep the faith. u couldn’t be more wrong about Neil being the man to take us forward but welcome aboard nonetheless!

There is zero evidence to suggest they will implode this season. The best chance we have is to win all 3 of the remaining derby games. We won't do that under NL.

Bubs even if we did manage to win all three derbies there is every chance we’ll drop more daft points than them over the piece. They seem to have got rid of the faults in their game they had last year that had them chucking points away.

Would love to think that stringing a run of wins together would make everything rosy again, but this period has just focussed attention on lots of other issues that need addressed. If we do manage to redeem this season and put it down as a blip, them I fear we have become the NEW gullibles. Scottish football is rotten to the core and our club are up to their neck in it.
We can’t blame the board for a group of previously very successful players turning to rubbish (that is one of the thing they can’t be held accountable for) , but they are responsible for what happens next.
The board also can’t do anything about our rivals having a good run of form, but should be asking questions about them doing it with players they can’t afford while setting up catalogue payments to the tax authorities, along with all the other financial irregularities. This leads into why as a club we haven’t done more to hold the Scottish football authorities to account on various occasions. Add to this the attitude to Res 12, when they asked for a smoking gun to take it forward and were then hand a litany of irrefutable documented evidence from sevco in the court action against CW and CG and then do their level best to do feck all. Hard to not think that our club has an awful lot to hide in all of this. And we fans are just expected to invest in a rigged poker game
This entire episode has just highlighted the utter contempt this club has for its paying customers.

Us older fans have been in this scenario before doesn't help though hh.

I am one of us older fans, and for years I’ve had niggling doubts about how our club is run in relation to future ambitions. Thinking about the doubts back then. this is now the future and we are no further forward! Wonder how much CL cash we have lost out on in the last decade alone by not making modest improvements to give the best chance to get through the qualifiers, then spend the money anyway once we didn’t make it. And to repeat the same scenario year after year?
Know this seem like entering the domain of conspiracy but these niggles have been there for a very long. Even modest improvement every year in the last decade should have taken us out of site, unless our clubs business model is to keep Scottish football competitive.
