  1. Eyes Wide Open, I agree. There is still not any evidence of thoughts being turned into actions. Again players today would not put their bodies on the line, communicate with each other make statement tackles etc. Neil Lennon can’t come out today and say the team were gutless and critcise individuals yet again. Its his team we have heard it all before.

     

    I was high after an important day at work on Wednesday then our second half performance. I even said Neil Lennons tema could win the league. Results like this are always highly likely with this team.

     

    If we change managers now can we rely on the pickers of Strachan, Mowbray and Lennon to give us some form of messiah.

     

    Rangers are stuck down a well but still managing to stay on top. It is surreal.

    Our club is completely leaderless and adrift. On AND off the park. Not only the manager and players responsible for this, the board have led us here with penny pinching and complacency. They are also completely dismissive of the supporters feelings. We need a clear out at all levels. Failures everywhere.

    Spot on Awe Naw…

     

     

    Lenny is all we have, for all those posters who will now come on and say he must go, by all means do it, but please post who you want to replace him.

     

     

    and for all the posters who want MON back, he will never come back to work under Lawell, and Lawell aint leaving any time soon!

    I saw Craig Whyte up in aberdeen at the game today

     

     

    We cant even get Dermot into the heated seats and world class facilities of the suited part of Celtic Park!

  5. Tom. Its neils team of no goalscorers and no centerhalfs

     

     

    We all knew we had no goalscorer and no centerhalfs

     

    Why did Neil not?

  6. Fifty years following the Celts and this is as low as I have ever felt. I love Lennon as a man and as a Celt but I am now convinced that he is not up to the job. This was a gutless, shameful inept performance those guys out on the field today don’t deserve to be wearing that jersey. Lennon should go now and let the rebuilding begin.

  7. Our average age today was 22.5. The main problem has been our signing strategy and for that Lennon, Lawell have to share the blame. I have said on her for a long time that we don’t have the experience or leadership to deal with the days when things aren’t going well. Very disappointing but changing the manager won’t help in the short term. We have to buy 2 or 3 quality experienced players who have leadership qualities to play in key positions.

  8. Lennon should be told to resign with head held high.

     

    The experiment has failed.

     

    We cannot afford him the luxury of learning on the job.

     

    If he is learning then it;s at a very slow pace with same tactical blunders constantly repeated.

  9. I’m afraid we are once again reaping what we sow – we have no ambition, no drive, now desire. That is the Board’s fault – they have no ambition, no drive and no desire.

     

     

    Celtic are not a football club – they are there to make money for DD – the football clearly is incidental.

     

     

    They do not deserve our support and the performance of our CEO is nothing short of disgraceful.

     

     

    It is clear that our cost cutting has now seen us fall into or below the standards of our SPL clubs and now clearly well below the standard of Rangers.

     

     

    Those of you who continue to give money to the club in any way are harming us – the ONLY way forward is to rid ourselves of the only billionaire owner in football who wants to milk us dry.

     

     

    As for NL – he has to go – its isnt his fault, he is a rookie manager and a club of our stature shouldnt employ a rookie manager. But we did that to save on costs. NL has also been nobbled by last year’s events. The club almost took on the establishment last year – but in the end havent followed it through. Because once again Celtic dont really care about their supporters as long as they are getting their money. Its clear NL has been told not to react the way he did last year.

     

     

    NL please resign now – its in your best interests. This in turn will mean that PL must resign and we get rid of him.

     

     

    Getting rid of DD will be much harder. But if we create a financial problem for him he will lose his appetite. We need him out – he is the root cause of all our problems.

  10. Constructive criticism is best! IMO!

     

     

    So, if all the Lennon must go brigade get their way….

     

     

    Who will replace him ?

     

     

    I think that the managerial circle seem to know what the workings behind the scenes are at CP! IMO!

     

     

    A worrying situation developing on/off the field! IMO!

  11. Hooper pulling out of a 60-40 ball (in his favour) said it all for me today. The boy is gutless.

  12. Thanks for the updates.

     

     

    Neil will always be welcomed by me at Celtic Park but not in the dug-out.

     

     

    Hate saying it but that is how I feel.

  13. Speechless,,,,,sad thing is i am starting to just accept these results as if they were the norm again just like the 80s/90s,,,,,,,,,fu**ing raging,absolute downer,now have to go and pretend im in a good mood for the missus and kids sake,no point taking it out on them,,,

    I think the best we can hope for is a foreign coach, a wee bit of an unknown quantity like Wim Jansen simply hoping to unearth a gem.

     

     

    The established boys wont come near us thats for sure.

     

     

    However, this current management can NOT get ANYTHING out of the current squad.

     

     

    The options are – change the squad or change the management.

     

     

    Which one of the two is more realistic?

     

     

    Has to be the management.

     

     

    If for nothing else than to introduce the fear factor into the arrogant and complacent bunch of footballers we have on display every week.

     

     

    To continue to do nothing is to continue looking into the abyss.

     

     

    I just cant stand that prospect.

  16. Dreadful, uninspired and amaturish e prformance.

     

     

    No motivation to win this game at all. The players and the rookie management team deserve equal share of the blame. Few of them should be in this position because they are not and were never good enough.

     

     

    The Board’s policy of profit before prizes has taken us to this place, although they will never admit it.

     

     

    This is like the 90’s all over again.

     

     

    Just not good enough.

     

     

    Lubo.

  17. Watching Celtic challenging for the Championship helps me get through the dark days of winter and to think it’s still only October and already it’s no contest. The great hopes we had for what looked like an exciting young team this season are now in tatters. It’s going to be a long hard winter of discontent. We need a miracle now.

  18. Awe naw – its disgraceful we need the huns to go into adiministration to even compete – utterly utterly disgraceful.

     

     

    In any case do you REALLY trust our Board to do the right thing when it happens and bury them. They have clearly refused to bury them for the last 4 years – why do you think they would start now?

  19. No point in calling for managers head.

     

    Direct your ire at players who were playing statues today.

     

    They were all hoping James Forrest or latterly Paddy would pull the rabbit out a hat.

     

    Hooper was lazy. Stokes was frustrating. Ki n Kayal had imposters in their place.

     

    I said during the game I was pining for Broony.

     

    We need him back and on his best form, driving us forward and narking at his team mates to put in a shift.

     

    Are two games a week too much for us?

     

    ‘GG

  20. Another manager must be brought in to try and salvage the situation,we have all supported Neil through a very difficult time but he must be judged in football terms,there is no tempo to the team we are struggling against teams that consist of free transfers,loan signings and players with more fight in them than ours.The Celtic job should always be considered too big for a novice to learn in.It is time to turn to someone with experience,crowds are going to fall away and Celtic Park will a pretty depressing place for the rest of the season.

  21. glendalystonsils on

    We either decide that we have reached the bottom of the pit NOW and make some attempt to get out of it, or we keep digging.

     

    The clock goes back an hour tonight, but Celtic’s clock has gone back to the 1950’s

  22. Henriks Sombrero on

    Whats the point in Lennon going ? Who would our self serving board of directors appoint ? Someone else who’s cheap and is willing to work on a cheap budget. No point in only Neil going. I want a change in the running of my club. Self serving suits need to go.

     

     

     

     

    9 wins out of 19 competitive games this season.

  23. No ideas

     

    No leaders

     

    No Celtic men

     

    No urgency

     

    No quality

     

    No direction

     

    No hurt

     

     

    Just ex players from hibs Cardiff Scunthorpe Aberdeen etc

     

     

    Heart has been ripped out our side

     

    All stemming from our last season with strach

     

    Our board never backed him and it could be 7 in a row this year and a bank bursting with champions league cash!

     

    Shame on our board

     

     

    How the Orc flourish with thier backs to the wall,showing the fight and desire I wish our team had! Difference?? Full of rangers men in thier team!

     

    Whilst us? As I said earlier full of Cardiff, hibs Aberdeen and Scunthorpe players!

     

     

    Aaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!?!!??!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. There are hundreds of coaches out there with more than 2 years experience out there

     

     

    Yes 2 years, that is all Neil has

     

    I would bit say Paul lambert, but even he has 4!!

     

     

    But DD has to go bhoys

     

    Boycott and starve him of cash

  25. Neil Lennon is all we have? The players are letting Neil down?

     

    Have to say those two statements are mince.

     

    We could replace Neil Lennon with any number of managers who would be happy to take up his salary. Could anyone else do any worse with the players we have? If results continue as is we will finish 30 points behind Rangers. How can Neil Lennon be all we have? Is there a reason why someone else wouldn’t take the job that I’m not aware of?

     

    The players are letting Neil Lennon down? Neil Lennon signed and played those players. He also dropped a few who could do a better job.

  26. Another depressing result. Played 19, won 9 in all competitions.

     

    Lose to the Mothers next week and it has to be the end for Neil,

     

    if it isn’t already, sad day for our club.

  27. The only word that keeps coming in to my head is Boycott. DD, The Board, The Management and the Players are not doing it, its up to us The Supporters to save the Club

  28. Tom McLaughlin on

    I have sat back, had a beer and thought long and hard. Sorry Neil, but it ain’t working. Thanks for your service, but we need to shake hands and say, enough is enough. It’s not your fault, but the club comes first, and that means you have to go.

     

     

    Thanks for eveything.

  29. antonsleftfoot on

    tony mowbary is doing well at the moment…

     

     

    unbelievably crap.

     

     

    can’t get my head round it.

  30. Henriks….

     

    They MUST bring back strachan

     

     

    He will gel this side and claw this back!

     

    And Will insist that our players whilst faltering from one disaster to another SHUTS THIER TRAPS WHEN TALKING TO THE MEDIA!

     

     

    When will they bloody learn!!!!????
