You can train to be a football player for years, hone your skills and work on your fitness, but there are situations you can never prepare for until you are in the spotlight. Yesterday Mark Wilson had to field questions about his team-mates’ performance and his manager’s position, after another abject performance which drew criticisms from Neil Lennon towards the players.
Mark gave a textbook response to the BBC, “I don’t like slagging my team-mates off but we have to do better.
“Football is a result-driven game but we don’t want that [Neil Lennon sacked]. We are firmly behind the manager and we love working with him and the coaching staff.”
We should be in no doubt that harsh words are being spoken in the dressing room and team spirit must be awful, but the outside world need to see stoic unity.

“Scum.”
Thanks for your measured reponse. Is this what Paul 67 means by stoicism?
I am well aware of the context in which I am criticising the manager, and I am very mindful of the carnival of anti-Catholic, anti-Irish reaction and outrage that he had to withstand last season.
I do believe, however, that matters that affect Celtic, and that are in the public domain anyway, should be aired. In this sense, I would hope that my contribution adds positively to the debate about whether or not Lenny should continue as our manager.

I am not a hun! Please don’t address me as such. You don’t know me, you don’t know how much support I give Celtic, how much I bleed when things go wrong.
My problems with Lenny didn’t happen overnight. I could give you many examples but I’ll limit these to the following.
I have witnessed his ‘performances ‘v Motherwell on Black Sunday (shortly after their week-end Jackie M. testimonial binge in Donegal) and v Artmedia when his lack of application to pre-season training resulted in him not being quick enough to avoid breaking the jaw of his team mate, Chris Sutton and hastening the disaster of that night.
I travelled from Derry to Prestwick on May 4 this year, then on to Inverness (Aye, it was an early rise). On the train, on the way there, I met a couple, a man and woman who work in the hospitality industry. A couple of good Tims, and (at the time) by no means against our manager. They told me that the management and some of the players had an overnight binge, and had made use of some of their (the couple’s) facilities, on the preceding sunday/monday.
I didn’t believe them!! More fool me!

You don’t know what travails I have suffered, and how I have coped with them.
Do you want me to have the same mind-set as the ostrich-like hun supporters who have been in denial about the slow-moving train wreck that they are now about to witness.
I believe that as a supporter of Celtic I am entitled to my views, and to express these. I also believe that if enough of our supporters had been of the same opinion as me around 18 months ago, we wouldn’t be in the mess we are now in. I said much of the same things then but I was either ignored, or dismissed as a hun.

You get what’s on the menu, no exceptions. (thumbsup)

Aw diddums did I strike a wee raw nerve there
Tell you what mate instead of trying to censure blogosphere why don’t you get a hold of my e-mail address, you know the procedure, and no I don’t want to share a pint.
Once you have the said e-mail address forward same to Celtic Park for the a attention of a board member and explain how you have detected a hufiltrator on a blog that has nothing positive to say about the club at the moment. Ask them to check their databases for my e-mail address and marry it up with my season tickets information and ask them to censure me withdraw my season ticket or skelp my bottom. Just imagine you might get a seat in the back row of the front stand and all the directors can point you out and say with some pride there is Detective inspector Hunfiltrator
While everyone else points you and your ilk out as being the delusional fools that are making the Greater Celtic Support a laughing stock
