    For Celtic this really is just the beginning.

     

     

    For that other lot, whose name does not even deserve to be mentioned on this day, it is the end.

    I thought our defending of throw-ins in the second half was shocking.

    Someone at ESPN got the music correct whilst showing a compilation of our goals scored on route to this title at the end of the programme.

    Peter Lawell congratulates Neil saying he’s had to “endure a lot – some of it reported, some of it not”.

     

     

    Hard to believe he’s suffered even more than we know. Congratulations Neil, never has a Celtic manager deserved such a victory.

    I am 55. I have been to see Vodjvidina, Leeds United and thousands of others, loved big Jock who shared the same ortho as my Da. But I am really enjoying our managers elation which is for each and everyone of us. God bless Neil Lennon.

  19. Lennon n Mc....Mjallby on

    At the start of the season I would’ve given anything for Neil Lennon to lead us to the title,a huge relief that hunnery in Scotland never drove him out a loser,he’s far from that,the mhan is a class act and now the pressure of the first is off we can look forward to some time under Neil,I’m a wee bit gutted today I didn’t watch the game so I would be very grateful for any links.

    Sammi has Cost us The Treble..

     

     

    Dropping him in the Cup Final was Bad Bad Management..(Also dropped for 3-3 Killie in Oct) do the Math..

     

     

    Lennonism in Glasgows East End has Just Begun..and this is Just the Beginning..

    Good Afternoon,

     

     

    and Congratulations to Neil Lennon, Scott Brown, Charlie, Joe, Sammy, Gary, Fraser and everyone else at Celtic Football Club.

     

     

    What I want to say this afternoon, was said last May. As I never- ever- get tired of saying it, under any circumstances, I repeat the words I wrote then, for they as pertinent today as they were on that dark morning last May.

     

     

    Hail Hail.— and Pass the Parcel!!!

     

    ———————————————————————————————————-

     

     

    Good Morning to you,

     

    I suppose that there is a tendency to examine’s one’s coupon in the mirror this morning and cast the eyes upon someone staring back with a look of despair and despondency. Last night, errors in defence, possibly in selection choice, but mostly because of a group of Inverness players playing for sheer pride handed a defeat to a Celtic team who just appear to be nothing like the team that dismissed Dundee United on Sunday– although it has to be said that there were signs there that the defence can be got at and if the midfield and attack don’t keep the ball and the other team busy then trouble follows.

     

    Neil Lennon knows that– that is why we have already signed a centre half and another back I believe.

     

     

    Now, as far as the league goes that fat lady has not yet sung, although it has to be said she has the good dress on, is part way through her rehearsal and is ready to take the stage. Of course, as of last night she has changed her choice of tune and currently it is not to our liking—- but the script is never written as someone said recently.

     

     

    Notwithstanding all of that, I am on here to spout my usual rubbish and perhaps annoy a few by saying we lost a match– so what? Oh I know so what– I know it hurts, I know it is disappointing, I know it is not what we hoped for—- but so what?

     

     

    I am of the class where not only is the glass always half full=== but there is never just one glass.

     

     

    You see I am a supporter/member of CELTIC FOOTBALL CLUB. Yip there are those three words again and it is still the case that the most important is club. Club is different from team– dare I suggest that Club is more important than team.

     

     

    The team have undoubtedly performed better than last year, but are not as yet where we would all like it to be. That is a work in progress, and it may yet be the case that the league swings yet again in dramatic fashion. We can only wait and see.

     

     

    Whether it does or does not there is a lot to be cheerful about.

     

     

    It would have been easy for Dermot Desmond to throw in £20-£30m to go and buy a load of players a couple of years ago. At a value of £1800M or thereabouts that kind of money is available to him without too much concern. However in the interests of club, as opposed to team, the investment was made in Lennoxtoun rather than players. As we watch the youth sweep all before them it appears that there is real fruit from that tree– and make no mistake that will be a very rich harvest with more crops a growing.

     

     

    The Mowbray experiment failed and so Neil Lennon has had to start from scratch and has had to do so amidst some extraordinary times and situations. It will eventually come right– of that I have little doubt.

     

     

    However that is to do with team, which although the focus of the club is not it’s heart.

     

     

    Others in the league cannot compete on a regular basis with Lennon’s from scratch team. Oh they can upset them– as last night– but none come near with consistency apart from Rangers. That Rangers team has been compiled at far greater cost over a number of years, and the latest signing– perhaps the player whose form may yet deliver the league– may well have been bought using funding which is prescribed by the laws of the league. Whether that goes unpunished or not is not my concern here, it is just an aggravating factor.

     

    No, you see I am a member of Celtic Football Club. Where we accept that we have no divine right to win, but where we do have the right to compete on a level playing field, where we take pride in representing that club and it’s ethos each and every day. We do not go about tearing up the place, or causing offence, or in the main causing controversy. No, we are Celtic supporters– and that counts for something whether the team wins or no. The guardians of the club do things properly, on a proper financial footing and within the laws of the game. We will challenge injustice where need be, and be compliant where that is appropriate. That is as it should be.

     

     

    In the course of this year I have watched from the stands as the Celtic Graves Society, The Kano foundation and countless other charity groups further the absolute basic vision of Walfrid– to create a focus for like minded and like backgrounded people for their betterment– where that focus happens to be football. We strive to provide football of the highest level, but more importantly we strive to support the club and it’s football at the highest level. That is being achieved on a daily basis and in ways never before thought of.

     

     

    Walfrid had never heard of the European Cup- had no idea how successful Celtic would become as a global brand etc. What he wanted was that collective spirit, that spirit that would be abundantly clear in the very name Celtic. The gifts and fundraising for Benfica a few years ago show what a force Celtic have become in this regard even outwith Scotland. As for the Thai Tims– a whole school in a far off land? Walfrid would be speechless.

     

     

    Even as individuals, the past few months show that spirit in remarkable abundance. Look at the lives of Reamon Gormley and Stevie Reynolds. I know at this time it is easy to concentrate on their recent passing but it is their living and the way that they lived and the spirit in which they lived that was remarkable.

     

    Still living– and presumably walking– is our own wee Blantyre Kev who has taken on the most onerous of tasks in the name of charity. Walking or running is one thing, but 10k every night– WITH YOUR MISSUS is beyond the call of duty ( Lesley if you get to read this sorry — and yes I know your sacrifice is far greater than his! ) There are initiatives like that by the score. There are ordinary guys and ghirls doing extraordinary things and all in the name of or linked to CELTIC FOOTBALL CLUB.

     

     

    No there is nothing bad about being a Celtic fan on this May morning other than that our team lost. So what? We will be there next week and the week after.

     

    A number of years ago I went to Hampden with a lovely fella by the name of Kevin Cole. Kevin left these shores with wife and weans, sold his business, house , car and his spare pair of trainers– everything– and went to New Zealand. Last I heard he was in Australia somewhere. He kept his season ticket though.

     

     

    Anyway Rangers beat us 1-0 at Hampden and we trudged the long walk back to town along Aitkenhead Road. As we walked he asked me what kind of fan I was? What he meant was how do I take defeat? Do I get Angry? Etc etc.

     

    That question, I’m afraid, lead to one of my diatribic speeches.

     

     

    ” I am a fan of Glasgow Celtic. I believe in football– good football, played the right way and in the right style. There are those who will beat us on any given day and no matter who they are or what the score I will say good luck and well done– today was your day.

     

     

    But there will be a tomorrow. A Tomorrow, a tomorrow and a tomorrow and We– Celtic Football Club –will always be there tomorrow. No defeat will ever get us down and any who hope that we will just go away are sadly mistaken. A defeat just makes us want to come back and beat you all the more– and in certain cases to return and really beat you. To wipe you off the park and hand out such a footballing lesson that it will be talked about for years. We will never ever be downhearted or lose our resolve and when we do beat you we will say– well played, bad luck, see you next time– and we will celebrate on our own, with our own and because of our own, We are Celtic Football Club and each and every year we try to be better and better and better. Our aim is Europe, to be good in Europe at any level and to show Europe and the world that we are the best CLUB in the world, teams and fans. So what kind of fan am I? We Lost– so what– never ever let that get you down– it happens, just get better”

     

     

    Kevin used to say that wherever we went we would bump into someone that knew me from somewhere, and they would know I was a Celtic fan.

     

     

    Later that day, we were in Rab Ha’s and we met a guy who was a barrister who had travelled up from London. I had never met him before. We were talking away when this guy suddenly said ” Wait a minute– are you…………?”

     

    When I said yes he said that he had heard my name from a Manchester Utd/ Celtic fan in London who had told him he would end up bumping into me somewhere sometime– and I would be the one talking about Celtic and what Celtic is about.

     

     

    The bold Kevin fell off the seat so to speak.

     

     

    Being a Celtic fan is like the world’s biggest game of pass the parcel– and the Prize is Celtic. It is an Olympic sport and taking part is the winning. We all pass the parcel to one another, to strangers, to children, to people in far of places. It is a thrill just to take part. You don’t often win outright– only those that pull the Jersey on really win in this dream game. But passing the parcel is a just cause. I have seen Masai Warriors wear the hoops and pass the parcel. There is an episode of great train journeys of the world with Michael Palin on a train in some far off South American country, with the train going to some remote area. The guy sitting behind Palin, complete with stretched earlobes and traditional earrings — is also wearing a Celtic away strip of the day. He passed the parcel. Pablo and Reamon passed the parcel. The Thai Tims pass the Parcel. From the Garngad to the Gold coast people pass the parcel.

     

     

    This morning I have the parcel, I have to maybe tear off some paper hiding the prize inside. So I have done that and I am passing the parcel to whomever reads this, and who might feel a bit down or depressed by the events in Inverness.

     

     

    Others today may meet you and perhaps take some joy at our reverse last night. They are fools. You have the parcel, You hold Celtic Football Club in your heart and hands whilst such others cannot even gain entry to the game and will never hold the parcel. They will never understand, feel your pain or understand your joy in things Celtic. They are not amongst the fortunate, the lucky, or of the spirit of Celtic.

     

     

    No—- today is a good day to be a Celtic fan– maybe not the best day– but any day being a Celtic fan is a good day– and there is always tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow– each of which will, in due course, spawn a whole host of yesterdays to talk about. Believe me– they will come.

     

    Now– Pass the Parcel– it is worth it.

  27. Jeg er Neil Lennon-Greeninbingley on

    Glorious! Just in from watching it in a bar in Oslo.

     

     

    Those scenes at the end had the tears streaming. Proud of every single one of them – just so many Celtic fairytales today… CM, young Twardzik, what a debut, 4 skippers, what a support, LOVED seeing big Victor out there waking the Kenya flag and Izzy with the inflatable champagne – who was the guy with the ONE LOVE Rasta flag?

     

    0-3 down at half time on this ground and it all seemed to be turning to ashes. To come here, win like that, and take the title – oh, one love, right enough.

     

     

    I’ve had some incredible Celtic days since my da took me to my first match in 1965.

     

     

    This is right up there with the best of them.

     

     

    Congratulations Neil and the squad. An old man in Oslo is very very happy today.

     

     

    But most of all i am proud of Neil Lennon

    Great performance today, great result, delighted for Lenny. I do believe that was Hooper’s first ever goal from outside the 18 yard box. Happy Birthday to Sparkleghirl et al. The sun is now shining here after a dull start and I’m going out to celebrate. Have a great Easter everybody.
