“I said to the players at half time that we were shaming the club at the moment and they had to go out and show some pride in the shirt”, the words of Neil Lennon to the BBC after the game on Saturday.
Pride in the shirt is a requirement any manager should ask of his team, and it is notable that the subsequent goal-scorers both have strong connections to the club, but it probably had little to do with the second half performance from Anthony Stokes, Charlie Mulgrew and our the impressive James Forrest. Calls to pride are limited in what they can achieve, genuine talent is far more effective.
At the AGM on Friday and again in his post-match comments on Saturday, Neil alluded to the fragility of his own position. Had the game finished 3-0 to Kilmarnock I think he would have walked away. This would have been a great pity.
Neil is learning on the job. He was not gifted the benefits of experience without actually having to work through difficult times as a manager. Before his thoughts turn to his own position, before our season is too far gone to save, he should recruit an experienced assistant. Someone who knows the challenges of working with a disparate group of players, who can deal with the challenges of a demanding board and supporter base.
The need for a mentor was evident 18 months ago and is screamingly so now. For the sake of Celtic, do the necessary.

Animal Farm By George Orwell is a fantastic read….

I do see the whole handling of this as bolstering political agenda…I predict next fan to be made an example of will be a Celtic fan.
Can’t imagine it would take long to trawl social media sites to find somebody to serve the purpose…

Have you read some of the comment on the Daily Ranger?
I used to read it quite a bit, and found there was a difference between the bitter buns, and some of our more radical supporters.
Whereas our fans mainly concentrate on their tax problems and their elitism.
Theirs were a whole different kettle of fish, from their posts is a complete spewing of hatred of anything Catholic, Irish, Celtic.
How The DR gets away with it is unbelievable. They write headlines to fuel the fire. I guess its to boost ‘hits’, but I tell you this. It must incite more violence than that numpty who got the jail today.
was on rtc site there and one poster put a twitter from filthy filthy on post and apparently there might be a
no more talking to the bbc sort of action in the pipeline from mr whyte after thursday nights broadcast.
Collum or Craven allegedly get dodgy calls.
The media tell us it’s irate Hoops fans.
This clown gets jailed today for abusing Neil, Celtic, Catholics etc etc…
Yet they don’t hazard a guess about his allegiance!!!

@poolbhoy,Neil Lennon is kingoh The Celts ,
Truely sick of the reporting in this Country.
Cannae wait till they have to report on their demise :O))))))
Right , away tae ma kip. Got the feeling Thursday will be a huge day for us…and for us :O).
Fred C. Dobbs
I am looking forward to how they’re gonna spin that one.
Will Minty get his comeuppance? I think not. Do we have extradition from Monaco?
I’ll be brief (Antifa is still up)
The significance of the 28th October, in relation to Der Hun, is simple…
WAGES DAY!!!
And as they need circa £500k that day…
The whyte knight will have had his tea…
Either that or his tea’s oot!!!
One more thing, afore I wake the missus up, I only converse with huns on football matters once they acknowledge the extent of their cheating.
I apply the same rule here too.
Truth1690?
Acknowledge your clubs cheating and I’ll happily call you a cheating hun lover!
Ok?
Antifa,
Hope you see this. I’ve asked Paul to send on my e-mail address to you.
Hi fellas.
Can someone please supply Paul67’s e-mail address?
I did have it before doing a total system restore.
Amazing the things that get lost that way.
Don’t start me on my 12,000 i-tunes that disappeared into the ether when my back-up HD failed……
Thanks in advance.

As Pearse read the proclamation
A banner floated overhead
We serve neither King nor Kaiser
Were the words that it read
Scripted by James Connolly
Laying down a demarcation
– Our country socialist and free
Was the goal of our nation
But Judas dwelt within our ranks
And sold our soul to the banks
With Brian Dempsey`s exclamation
Gladdening every waiting Bhoy
And whether spendthrift or miser
No one stinted in their joy
The rebels won ! he declared
The custodians have resigned
Our great club now was spared
Oh our joy was unconfined!
And King Herod with feigned mirth
Celebrated our rebirth
A new stadium was assembled
Like a phoenix from the ashes
And the watching Huns all trembled
In their bowler hats and sashes
They swore to match our spend with double
And brought in Le Petit General
But only got for all their trouble
Ruination and a new cabal
But all is changed -we are all much wiser
They with King and we with Kaiser
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS,
can you not undo the system restore and copy all your itunes to a few dvds?
run a recovery disc maybe?
Well done to the U19s.
Finally some positive news for Celtic.
So Celtic fans have been arrested for using the word hun.
On YouTube you can see Aberdeen, Hibs, and Hearts fans calling Rangers fans huns.
Is that illegal?
Will Hearts fan Campbell Knox be arrested under the sectarian legislation for singing Go Home Ya Huns?
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS
If they were on a backed up HD, was it an external one? There will be a way of retrieving them, might cost a few quid but if there was 12,000 it would be worth doing. HH
Neil doesnt need a mentor.
Neil needs a big wad of cash to dangle in front of the hired mercenaries of modern football.
Since Lawwell is the official Tim cash wadder get used to Celtic being pish till this Irish parasite mob are gone.Its only going to get worse before it gets better. Wanna bet …ok 0800-ibetdaq.
But look on the bright side. When its all over and done with we will all still be Celtic supporters.
Some good posts on here tonight. I love CQN. Educational as always.

You know when I saw Booger manhandle the ref in the 2-2 game which should have resulted in a ban ranging (wee pun there) from 3 games to life. I says to mesel in mee home grown vernacular.
“Awe naw theres gonny be a law true that throws us tims in jail for saying huns noo”
Wid ye credit it. Godstruth!
I traveled far and wide through many
different times
What did you see there?
I saw all knowledge destroyed
I traveled far and wide to prisons
of the cross
What did you see there?
The power and glory of sin
What did you see there?
The blood of Christ on their skins
I traveled far and wide through many
different times
I traveled far and wide where
unknown martyrs died
I saw the one-sided trials
What did you see there?
I saw the tears as they cried
They had tears in their eyes!
Tears in their eyes!

Mentor….
Bringing Lenny back 6 weeks before Tommy Burns Thursday Probably WON us the Title….
However it did Not Undermine WGS…. a Similar Move would be Great BUT…. Who….?
Someone to Renergise this Squad…. Someone Who Knows the Game or Celtic….someone to Lift the Dressing room….
Bring Back Bobo…. Bobo is Gonna Get Ye…. Yea that’ll Work….

Sammy Carson yer on the wrong track there. Yes although Bobo literally lifted the dressing room I do think Celtic need to have a coaching team that give credit where credits due on the park. The problem today is that some Celtic players feel that their efforts are ignored or expectations are too high but then again player wise you get what you pay for plus the naivety of the Celtic coaching staff is a factor. Anyway. Its modern football. Look at Man City. Is that football? Its grotesque. Its like the NFL or NBA. Cant wait for the EPL to eat itself out of existence. Maybe this landlady in Portsmouth will start a revolution.
