  1. well the meeting Lenny had with the players befor his press conference didn’t work.

     

    Maybe he should look at himself before blaming the players .

  2. This is the last days of Carthage — well no it is actually worse.

     

     

    We have a team that doesn’t care.

     

    We have a manager that hasn’t a clue.

     

    We have a business structure that suits itself.

     

     

    At this rate we will be lucky to fulfill our fixtures.

     

    Next up must be a plague of frogs followed by an asteroid onto L/town.

     

    It takes a lot of failing to be this bad.

     

     

    Two years ago it was all about tghe size of the budget to rebuild the main stand.

     

    Now it is all about covering up the top tier and paying at the gate.

     

     

    We are drowning in a soup bowl — that takes some doing.

     

    This si what happens when individuals think they are bigger than the club.

     

    DD is complicit but this trainwreck was built by PL and PL alone.

    Guys nobody has been a bigger critic of Lenny than me but even I don’t expect him to resign. He has a contract. Celtic need to sack him and pay out his contract. If I was him I’d do exactly the same thing.

    You’re right , it’s the board who are not doing the right thing . Any responsible board would have sacked the manager and paid up his contract . By far the lesser of two evils .

  5. Go tell the Spartim on

    Serious question

     

    Is there anyone, who is not on the Celtic Board, that still wants NL as manager ?

     

     

    Tbh if I saw I was playing against a defence of Duffy and Bitton you’d fancy your chances, not their fault they’re just not good enough nor do we have adequate defenders.

  6. Just had a look,since 2000,we have won,15 titles out of 20.

     

    10 Scottish Cups

     

    8 League Cups.

     

    Just saying like.

  7. Re orange ball, I thought we were playing with one, The keeper wouldn’t touch it & the rest of our team wouldn’t kick it.

  8. 100 % James F

     

     

    These lenny defenders are doing the boards work for them.

     

     

    What a mess.

     

     

    He needs sacked, zero self awareness. Dunning Krugger in full effect.

     

     

    KLV

  9. ACSOM have claimed Lennon’s agent wants a £1.2 million pay out for his man if he’s sacked.

     

     

    That folks is why the Celtic legend that is Neil Lennon will never walk.

     

     

    No matter how bad this gets, he’ll stay.

  10. To lose one goal may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose two looks like carelessness.” So said Oscar Wilde.

     

     

    Yes Oscar. We know. And you can add the inability to score more goals when in command of the game.

     

     

    It’s like the team has been made into a jigsaw. Someone lost critical pieces and replaced them with Lego. Now nothing fits together.

     

     

    Everything is broken

     

    – Individuals

     

    – The team

     

    – Tactics

     

    – Desire

     

    – Manager and coaches

     

    – Decision making

     

    – Choice of subs

     

     

    We are jinxed this season. I have no other explanation.

  11. Weather probably saved the chances of a proper defeat or any chance of a win in the second half, either way, Celtic were as far away from victory as their last one in Livingston in 2006.

     

     

    Neil Lennon fielded the strongest side available dropping Laxalt Rogic Frimpong Ralston Hazard and Johnston all to no avail, as his sieve sealed his fate, a long time ago now. Soro and Turnbull too late to the heroes, both ran out of steam in the sleet, and had we decided on another outfield player in goal, he might have dived where Barkas is wilting.

     

     

    Too easy to single out all the stinkers, this is a squad for the breakers yard no matter who’s visible or invisible. No idea why Livingston had a Stadium Announcer?, their manager has just the 40 odd less criminal convictions than Dave King, so he should be fit and proper for the SFA

     

     

    M.O.M Ismaila Soro

  12. Ah right Turkey, so it’s to have only won 6 games on 22 then?

     

     

    Just rest on our laurels?

     

     

    Just saying.

     

     

    Mental. Csc

     

     

    Not entitled just fed up getting the piss ripped out me by a so called legend and our board.

     

     

    KLV

  13. MM , i think paying at the gate will be the way forward for many , me included .

     

    Until such times as DD can drag himself away from the golf course and address this embarrassing shambles

  14. glendalystonsils on

    Is ‘ we ‘ll keep on trying to turn the corner’ a code for ‘ we’ll take it on the chin’?

  15. livi manager may be a hood, but i’d take the ghost of pablo escobar if as manager if he could get us on track again

  16. 3 points out of a possible 12.

     

    amazed at the number of posters who now believe that Duff y is the worst centre half ever, I was saying that from his second game and got pelters for suggesting it.

     

    Barkas is not a goal keeper £5.4m down the drain

     

    Ajeti another £5m down the drain

     

     

    Lenny made us a poorer team tonight with his subs , Broonie is an embarrassment to the club, trying to be the hard man , no intention to play the ball and tried to save face when the livi player got the better of him and he lashed out , a straight red all day long.

  17. ‘MM We Will leave the soupbowl to others …thank you… Research the soup….. Heartbreaking…..Like your no nonsense posts mate…..

  18. Nobody will be hurting or beating Neil himself more than than himself.

     

    Dermot needs to do the right thing and take Neil Out this situation, I would be very disappointed if they have persevered so long in order to save paying out his contract by hoping he would resign.

     

    I genuinely believe Neils winning mentality and love for his/our club will have had the same effect as a gambler… One last throw as the turn in fortune could be the next game.

     

     

    A man who has never hidden his depression this is an awful position he’s in… I really do hope he is OK and has the right support at hand.

     

     

    Why he never had his own appointed backroom staff to bounce off ill never know.

     

     

    What a lonely shadow of himself he is.

     

     

    And the celtic family who he endured death threats, bullets through door, attacks off and on field, not knowing when the next attack could happen, abused in front of his family to represent are turning on him viciously as their anger is amplified by the quest for 10iar.

     

     

    Do not lower yourself to the levels of them… Do not let the unseen hand divide and conquer our support or hang our manager out them…

     

     

    They’ve wanted his blood for 24 years

  19. Mr 67 said some weeks maybe months ago that things were going to get worse, which they have, the Club is now a shambles as well as the team, no leadership no responsibilty and no one seems to be at home except on match day.

     

     

    We are truely a Company not a Football Club, thanks PLC board every one of you is responsible for this mess and none of you have the decency to admit it nor the skills to fix it.

     

     

    Season ticket holders wake up only you can effect change but it will be painful that is certain , as we have seen this season how self centred the club/company is.

  20. James Forrest,

     

     

    I really don’t think any supporter thinks Lenny should stay.An agreement to leave has to be reached,but we must have a replacement manager ready.No caretaker,too late for that.A new manager with the rest of the season to see what he has,needs.

  21. dear mr desmond please im asking you politely remove mr lennon from his job its to big for him and he is destroying whatever kudos he had andwe as a support are suffering please end this torment some of us just have celtic thatkeeps us going please mr desmond do the decent thing and end this.

    ‘ACSOM have claimed Lennon’s agent wants a £1.2 million pay out for his man if he’s sacked.’

     

     

     

    ###

     

     

    His contract will stipulate what pay off he is entitled to.

     

     

    The board will know the figure. It’s their contract as much as his.

  23. prestonpans bhoys on

    Well being unable to beat your closest city rivals topped with eight points from four games against Hibs and Livy, certainly means your are dross.

     

     

    Seen Celtic lose leagues over the decades well starting from the 70’s, but never to a team which at best can be described as, I’ll be kind, workman like😱

  24. JF @ 10.47

     

     

    We owe NL a huge amount of gratitude.

     

    The nation of Scotland owes NL an apology and a safe environment to work / live in.

     

    PL and DD owe NL their business reputations for acting as a human shield.

     

     

    NL should never have been given the job in 2019.

     

    However he was given an offer that he could not refuse.

     

    The club put him in a position of authority and set him up to fail.

     

     

    He was a name PL and DD could hide behind.

     

    He was an easy choice / a cheap choice because it suited them.

     

    DD didn’t want a manager who could challenge his authority.

     

    PL did not want a local rival who would clip his DoF wings.

     

     

    If NL wants to dig in and hang about like a bad smell then that is up to him.

     

    The exec team need to do their job and earn their ridiculous salaries / bonuses.

     

    Failing that then some sort of shareholder activism needs to be instigated.

     

    That is a lot harder to build than the support switching off.

     

     

    The hard thing now is to be positive amongst this shambles.

     

    We are a big club / we are a sophisticated support — just a case we need to start behaving like that.

     

     

    For too long too many have lived in a bubble that was all about TFOD2 and not about the team on the park. We gave up the CL / we gave up the EuL and now we have given up the SPL.

     

     

    This has been two and a half years in the making.

     

    The issues were out there for everyone to see but it was all about our friends in Govan.

     

    We accepted second best because that was enough locally — now we are second best.

     

    It will be a long hard road back.

  25. JAMES FORREST on 20TH JANUARY 2021 10:49 PM

     

     

    I respect your opinion but its simply not as clear cut as that in my opinion.

  26. if we have no game this weekend maybe Lenny can take our ‘elite athletes’ squad to a local training camp.

  27. Go tell the Spartim on

    Hitting refresh in the hope that he’s left the club, futile, I know, but don’t crush any hope of it happening.

     

     

    I really can’t see the point of them keeping him on now as it’s anyone but Lennon stage, at least for me it is

  28. The Comfortable Collective on

    One question to the people at Celtic who I pay in excess of £1,300 each year for my two season tickets in the main stand.

     

     

    If this Ibrox based football club win the league this year will they insist this is their first league win?

  29. KevinLasVegas,

     

    Only saying,we have had great success,and will again.I feel fortunate to have seen both 9s,Lisbon,Centenary year,the 4 Trebles,and witnessed some dross in between.We will be back.Boards change,managers change.

  30. Too many biased Tim’s on here .

     

    It was a definite red card .

     

    Utter stupidity by Brown .

     

     

    Far too many weak players who lack stamina and utter body strength.

     

     

    We need an extensive clear out of sub standard players .

     

    Picked and coached by sub standard scouts , managers and coaches.

     

     

    We tire after 60 mins in most matches .

     

     

    We need a Hartson type CF .

     

    Och ! I give up .

     

    There is not one player that I’m bothered if they leave .

     

    Not one .
