Europe a sideshow to league duty at Fir Park

1000

A Europa League tie against Rennes on Thursday would normally set midweek pulses racing but when Celtic have such a crucial game ahead in the fight for second place Neil Lennon has a major decision to make, does he rest players for the Motherwell game?

Sunday’s game at Fir Park is set to become one of the most important games of the season for Celtic and I’m sure Neil would prefer a clear midweek to prepare for it, but resting players, with the inherent increased chance of defeat, could further damage fragile morale.

Celtic need a confidence boosting win but they need heads focussed on beating Motherwell even more. The consequences of defeat on Thursday are unpleasant, but the consequences of defeat on Sunday are incalculable.

  1. In the Heat of Lisbon- Nobody in my house cares too much about Celtic except me, the cat in particular hates it when we score, scares her witless.

     

     

    I do have thing about negativity and innuendo and so called fans not getting behind the manager & team, especially in our darkest hour.

    Have you noticed that shortbread have stopped showing the original tackle, just bawbag falling over on the centre circle.

    fairplay mate

     

     

    I woulld love Lenny to get there in the end but for me its all about one of my hero’s dignity.

     

    it kills me to hear his team booed or to see him as a visibly haunted man.

     

     

    do it, fix it or hold your hands up – there is no shame in that surely

  4. Hey ghuys,

     

     

    Last of my postings tonight. If any of you are stoopit enough to set up a phoney Facebook page. You should not forget to turn off the face recognisition feature otherwise you may get found out. Just a wee tip from your friendly neighbour hood German Tax I.T expert. For some of you it is too late.

  5. celtic are my team till the day i die i want them win i hate when we lose,also i hate myself when i see the way we are playing at the minute its not good enough,the manager and his backroom staff i believe cant motivate the players ,being played out of position not even a settled side yes there are injuries but out of the ones that are injured the only one that us fans seem to miss is izzy,some couldnt give too hoots about kelvin wilson or scott brown playing for celtic again.so after sundays game against motherwell win lose or draw ,neil lennon will part company with celtic football club and be replaced by one of coaches that look after the youths. and for you paddy gallagher do i want lennon sacked or removed or whatever the answer is yes.

  6. Josimar is Neil Lennon on

    just a thought.

     

    last 6 games – 2 wins 2 draws 2 defeats. 8pts out of 18

     

     

    last season oct to dec – 8 game run. 3 wins 3 draws 2 defeats – 12pts from 24

     

     

    all is not lost, but now zero room for error.

  9. Aw naw @ 21:30

     

     

    You really are p*shed are you not

     

     

    Methinks you may be getting in some practice before you apply for a coaching job at Lennox Castle

    Awe Naw,

     

     

    hing oan… tell us! is it me? Wish I knew how tae… could have some fun wi that…

     

     

    Could be somebody doin a double-bluff… they could be impersonatin me… we should be told

     

     

    Mind you, why they’d want to impersonate a transvestite dwarf with a skin problem is beyond me. Still… this world is as mad as a box of frogs.

    Are you a physic ( did I spell that right ?)

  12. JimmyQuinnsBits on

    Unless you’re French… in which case it makes perfect sense to keep a box of frogs… sort of fast food a la francais

     

     

    but then… you knew that

  13. A few years ago I got into trubble with the T man. I had the money but kept putting off getting accounts in. After everything was totaled they hit me with £7000 fine. I asked if I could appeal it? They said yes but might I might end with a bigger fine. She got her money in one payment.

     

     

     

    F T Q and all who sail in her!!!!!

    assuming an admin event i think it would be fair to say 90pts will win the league perhaps even less.

     

    that being so, we need 67pts from 26 games.

     

     

    perhaps

     

    21 wins 4 draws and, heaven forbid, 1 defeat.

     

    22 wins 1 draw 3 defeats

     

     

    is it possible – yes

     

    is it likely – next 2 league games will go a long way to showing it.

  15. In the Heat of Lisbon- No shame in it at all bud, I would trust Neil to know when to call it a day- for whatever reason, personal or professional.

     

     

    Media Hundits are positively salivating for a reverse on Sunday to heap more pressure on him. Unfortunately some of our customers appear to want the same thing.

     

     

    Shameful.
