The GB have created the atmosphere at Celtic Park for many years and sometimes have been the only thing worth watching. They have crossed the line for me on occasions but their banner today was 100% spot on and the irony of the reference to an Irishman as an absentee landlord in Scotland can't be lost on anybody with half an understanding of Irish, English, Scottish politics and was right on the money.
But I don't know if it was the green, pink, purple rinse or blue brigade that was responsible for events after the Ross County game. But whoever they were those that crossed the line were self entitled fuds.
If somebody surrounded my house and threw fences, bottles whatever at me and verbally abused me to the extent that I needed to escort my family out of my own house I'd have built a steel fence around it this week as well.
And I wouldn't have divorced the wife no matter what you thought of her or how much you or me didn't like her or how bad her cooking was because I was brought up never to bow to bullying neds no matter the personal cost.

There would be an inevitability about splitting up with the wife.
Why wait when it’s never going to work out.
Everybody in the household would remain upset from the husband, the wife and more importantly the children.
There’s no point cutting your nose off.

Buzz Bomb because when you tell me ‘a better dae something’ you’ve no chance of me doing it absolutely 0% even if of you cut off ma big nose. But if you point out ma failings politely and explain why ‘it would be better if I did do something’ I’d take it onboard 100%.

The supporters have tried everything for change in the last couple of months.
They did try and be nice about it but the board weren’t listening.
Lennon was called a legend and he was thanked for his efforts and everything else he’s done for our club as both player and manager but a change was needed.
Now the supporters have been forced to try a different kind of pressure.

Buzz, I agree however where do the board go to get someone who could make a difference in the short term? This isn't a dress rehearsal or a build for next season dilemma. HH.

It’s a hard one.
At least the board can’t be criticised for rushing into getting a new manager because they need to make the correct appointment.
Realistically Dan Petrescu could be a good shout.
He put Cluj on the map by winning the last 3 Romanian titles.
Dan also has good European and International experience as a player and he’s took that experience into management.
He’s the perfect age for a manager who’s learned his trade and also has plenty of mileage in the tank.
He will also be affordable because he’ll earn more money with Celtic.
And his time at Cluj could be coming to an end. Maybe it’s fate.
{Ed007's Note - Petrescu left Cluj a few days ago, Leon.}

It could be a good fit Ed. ðŸ‘.
{Ed007's Note - It could be mate.}

As we all know, a manager works with his own team. Is there a realistic possibility that our board would KO Kennedy and Strachan to facilitate Petrescu's guys? Fekk me, at the moment I'd take Ken Dodd and the Diddy Men. HH.
{Ed007's Note - Remember the Club tried to appoint John Kennedy as DOF under Rodgers

Would that have been a good thing Ed007? Is that his real calling instead of being on the coaching staff? Why didn't it happen? I know he's Celtic mad (which in itself shouldn't be a defining factor but is an added bonus) but IF he is part of the problem then he should go. HH.
{Ed007's Note - I don't know if Kennedy could do the job but Rodgers was all for it before he done a bunk and Kennedy became NL's assistant instead.
It's hard to know who would be good DOF, look at Ajax just now - they have Marc Overmars as DOF and Edwin van der Sar is the CEO - but Kennedy has been studying football at different levels for years and impresses people who know more about the game than me.
I can also see Kennedy moving on when time is called on the Lawwell/Lennon project to make his way as a manager in his own right.
