  1. My son phoned me after the cup final in May 2019 to tell me NL had been appointed permanently . He said it won’t end well.

     

    How right he was .

  2. Some on here aren’t in the slightest bit interested in BRs current ability, btw. If you’d read my original post I wasnt talking about his overall ability at Celtic either, was just pointing out what was a memorable pumping for me.

  3. D Duff bigging up Kennedy was just a pal bigging up a pal.

     

     

    I see Brenda has not really suffered from losing his services in his next job.

     

     

    I would bin Kennedy and Lennon tomorrow morning ASAP

  4. Were Neil to go, ex-Koeman RHM Fran Alonso is already in da house looking after our big girls team.

     

    Could he partner with JK to manage our other?

     

    Despite claims to contrary, our defensive coaching is lamentable so whoever’s doing it needs their P45; wasn’t that much better under BR.

  5. Ironically it may be that keeping players at the club who don’t want to be here was a mistake.

     

    With no fans at stadia these guys can get away with lackadaisical performances ?

  6. Just watched Neil’s Post match interview. I’m sorry, but he is delusional. Why didn’t he make changes at halftime? Why did he wait until we were 2 down before bringing on Ajeti and Ntcham? Why bring on the latter anyway? Why did we not play Soro and Turnbull to instil more energy? Sparta fielded 17 year old players and simply ran all over us. They were stronger, faster and fitter, and that is simply inexcusable.

     

     

    We are simply not going to win the 10 with a defence with 3 out of 4 weak links, compounded by a midfield without the energy, stamina, speed or tackling ability to help them out or back up our usually lone forward. It is screamingly obvious. We are leaking goals like confetti, and are as vulnerable as wet tissue paper every time someone runs at us at speed, or simply takes a set piece.

     

    Something radical has to be done, or we will be 12 points back by the international break. Has someone told DD the result yet? More importantly, does he care a fig?

  7. Sutton was scathing of Griffiths tonight, in a game he scored. Yet NL has allowed that situation to run for 18 months, he allows the bar to be lowered for what is considered acceptable.

     

     

    No point hanging Elyounoussi out to dry for using his mobile, he thinks it is acceptable based on what he sees at Lennoxtown every day. When Deila arrived at Celtic, taking over from NL, he pulled up the players on fitness. Commons etc didn’t like it but he was right, NL hasn’t learned the lesson

     

     

    We are under resourced and lack skill on the coaching side. 2 plus GK to manage a first team of circa 3O players. NL isn’t a hands on Manager, that in itself isn’t a problem but you need a top class team to keep the players motivated.

  8. We had Lenny, Kennedy and Duff last season and did ok. Strachan Jnr is the difference this time. Is that the issue maybe?

    We didn’t lose to Red Imps. It was a two legged tie.

  10. Kennedy chucks the ball up for the defenders to header back to him.

     

     

    That’s it!

     

     

    Ask anyone who sits in the North Stand or Jock Stein.

     

     

    He does feck all else.

     

     

    Best coach at Celtic is unfathomable but maybe true.

     

     

    He, Lennon and Strachan’s boy should all be gone before Sunday.

     

     

    Over to you Lawwell and Desmond.

  11. Henry Joy, thank feck ye told me that. And there was me thinking we progressed to the Group Stages on a flyin feckin carpet.

  12. We still have a lot of the pre BR team

     

     

    Bitton, Griffiths, McGregor, Brown, Rogic, Forrest,

     

     

    BR basically added Sinclair, Dembele to that and got a treble

     

     

    NL has added zillions worth and lost the soul

     

     

    BR is no rat , he was a genius

  13. I am curious?…is there anyone left who still believes Neil Lennon should keep his job?….I was one of the last to cling on and I would like a reason why anyone would think he can still deliver the league title?

  14. Duff is still a rookie who has been over promoted . Might come good but who knows

     

     

    He was always upset being away from kids. I used to fly i over for games and he was on same flights. Not good enough for either party

     

     

    My ex colleague got friendly with him and he is a top person and also driven to succeed. May see him back at CP once kids in secondary school,

  15. Saw this on Twitter, made me laugh:

     

     

    “Eddie Howe is 11/10 to be next Celtic fc manager 🍀”

     

     

    “ I’d take fucking Eddie scissor hands atm mate.”

    If only Trump was manager of Celtic…might be able to convince me we won tonight…

     

    ———————————————————————————

     

    NFL quoted Trump last week.

  17. If we were visiting Ibrox on Sunday we’d be annihilated. We’ve a limited amount of time to turn this around. Neil can’t do it – we’re in the fourth month of the season and we just got beat 1-4 by an average side missing 7 first team players. It could have been 1-6 or 1-7.

     

     

    Is Lawwell so arrogant that he’d rather lose the ten than admit he was wrong ?

  18. MON or G S they have had there day ,I know one thing things at Celtic need to change ASAP,I think a big problem at Celtic is the Directors some are well past it ,others like Willie Haughey and Michael McDonald etc who really know how our football team should be playing ,So Bhoys step up buy out Dermot Desmond and others ,take back the club to were it belongs.

    NFL’s gone imo. Scot Brown and the remaining management team will take charge before the last fireworks fired tonight.

  20. A fiver for your thoughts on

    I’m feeling your pain

     

    But too many people can’t see it

  21. Team NFL were playing for a payoff when he quoted Trump last week. It’s not fake news unfortunately.

  22. When Neil says ‘culture change’ is he referring to some stars accepting they’re going nowhere and getting on with being the best bloody team in the division (which by our transfer fee receipts, we really should be).

     

    As was said b4, you don’t change culture overnight.

     

    Alas for Lenny et al, you can change managers and coaches overnight.

     

    Sad if it happened, sadder if things dont straighten up quick, and we squib the 10.

    Aye, but they have played 2 away games, are unbeaten and top of the Group. We have played 2 home games, haven’t won a game, have lost 9 goals, and are bottom of our Group.

     

    They are odds on to reach the 32. We are odds on to remain last.

     

    Only one conclusion to be made…………
