Neil Lennon’s next decision, marquees and sunshine

456

I hope Neil Lennon takes the Hibs job. He’s a talented coach who has achieved far beyond the expected mark of a 44-year-old. After leaving Celtic two years ago he gave Bolton a temporary respite, rescuing them from immediate relegation before the inevitable happened a year later.

Bolton were on the slide and needed a miracle worker. Hibs, on the other hand, can surely only go one way. Managing a second successive failing club would be difficult to recover from. Easter Road has also allowed Alan Stubbs to enhance his managerial stock, despite not reaching the play-off final in either of his two seasons in charge.

Right now Hibs are a great opportunity for Neil.

No harm meant to Colin Kazim-Richards but the sight of him going through a medical in Brazil was welcome. He was one of a large number of players acquired over the last two seasons who never looked like a Celtic player, on paper, or on the field. It’s best for player and club he moves on.

What kind of times are these? Marquees deployed to protect scores of Celtic season ticket applicants from sunburn. Surely some parallel universe.

    MACJAY…Well Said.

     

     

    ==========================================

     

     

    Much appreciated.

    If the theory is that PL didn’t want Rodgers then PL is toast. Maybe he will stay in place until some issues are sorted over at Hampden but if they have went over his head his days are numbered. Phil MacB told us that Ronny set the record straight at his last Board meeting. Maybe he was right, or maybe DD just plain didn’t like the GB banner. Rodgers will have been given assurances by DD as they spoke at length, he revealed during his presser. Interesting times ahead.

    Spot on.

     

    Unnamed pub.

     

    Unnamed doorman.

     

    Unspecified nationality of doorman.

     

     

    Simply a smear.

     

    However , investigate by all means.

  4. I feel neganon2 gets a raw deal in here at times . He is making a lot of very valid points. Res 12 is as important ( if not more) than getting the quality manager we all wished for and surprisingly got . I am cock a hoops ;@) that Celtic pushed the boat out and landed Brendan Rogers and the board are rightly getting praised for it but it is ridiculous imo that celtic fans are funding the big push to see justice done while the board have been silent on this matter for a couple of years now. I will probably get shot down in flames for this by posters in the know , but this poster has nt any connections who probably know more of whats going on in the background ie Paul 76 etc so it is bloody frustrating to say the least . Please excuse my ignorance here as I cant get on the blog as often as I would like and maybe missed some things , but , has one of the Res 12 guys actually come out and said that Celtic would definetely make a statement very soon on this or is it just wishful thinking on optimistic fans getting carried away with our new manager. Imagine that Brenden hadnt been appointed just yet …this site would be in meltdown about the apparent lack of action regarding res12 . Maybe we need to take a step back and not let the fact that Brendans appointment ( great appointment ) is clouding our judgement and the club is pulling a fast one on us . I hate actually saying that but the club this past few years has not exactly stood up for us . …..Rambling on too much now but back to my first point…….neganon2 is a fan just like me and you and makes a lot of valid points

    Genuine question, have you contacted Celtic to express your concerns noted above?

  6. NegAnon2 on 7th June 2016 11:58 pm

    lol.

  7. Roddybhoy on 8th June 2016 12:17 am

     

     

    Sorry Paul67…….not 76 ooops

     

     

    —————————-

     

     

    Paul76 is his wee brother.

  8. Corkcelt I defy paul67 and anyone else to give me a yellow card for just opining. The closest I have ever got to on was when tonydonnely tried to get be banned by espousing that supporting Celtic may uphold racism (based on the boards collusion). You wanna get me banned? Go for it.

     

     

    I am comfortable in what I say. The ban brigade want to outlaw dissent.

     

     

    Dear old Paul 67 wants to ban but has been told to avoid creating martyrs.

     

     

    Oh the irony. It’s so funny.

  9. macjay1 for Neil Lennon on

    Neg.

     

     

    Macjay just to take one of those list of things and one not en vogue of the moment. Celtic as a club claiming to be like no other. It’s an absolute embarresment we don’t sign up to the living wage.

     

     

    =============================================================================

     

     

    Celtic`s wage policy to be determined by an external body ?

     

     

    Anathema.

     

     

    Just another example of creeping socialist dogma by stealth.

     

    Where did that work ?

     

    Venezuela ?

  10. Ah right Macjay. Perhaps I didn’t get yours was a right wing agenda based on greed.

     

     

    Gotcha mate,

     

     

    Gotcha.

     

     

    Thank goodness we claim we are ,ore than a club.

     

     

    Phew.

  11. clogher celt on

    Macjay,

     

     

    Living Wage – ‘Where did that work?’

     

     

    Chelsea & Hearts?

     

     

     

    SFTBs, :)) I suppose JP McManus is the currency man.

     

     

     

    TheTimreaper,

     

     

    Judging by PL performance at Brendan’s Press Conference he looks pretty uncomfortable, to say the least.

  12. Tim reaper

     

     

    I did quite a while back and did get a reply …cant remember his name , sorry . It was round about the time that Regan when John Clark from SFM asked him if evidence was presented to him that “rangers” had got the licence granted “illegally” what would he do? He replied ” nothing” ….. I blew my top as Im sure many on here did too . I sent an email stating that I would not set foot in Celtic Park if Celtic sat idly by and did not challenge this . It came across to me as a kind of standard reply which it probably was as at the time as we were being encouraged to fire in emails .

     

    I live in hope that things are happening in the background that Im not aware of but I cant shake off this bad feeling that the club dont have the balls to see it through .So frustrating as this is/was our chance to have a proper SFA in place with the bigoted dinosaurs removed from office . Res 12 aside , still think if Celtic were more active at the start of “rangers” demise we could have called them (SFA) out for all the cheating/ignoring of rules etc and worked with all the other clubs we could maybe have forced them out by a vote of no confidence from us and the other clubs. I do feel there was a strong feeling against the SFA round about that time. Opportunity lost me thinks

    o rational counter argument .

     

    Because there isn`t one.

  14. macjay1 for Neil Lennon on

    Neg.

     

     

    You provide no rational counter argument.

     

    Because there isn`t one.

  15. Just thinking out loud Macjay you must have been ashamed of Mike Ashley today for unashamedly confessing he was wrong about employment practices today.

     

     

    I mean Ffs what a tube. Stupid creeping socialist dogma.

     

     

    YOu Macjay repesent in my opinion a scumbag attitude to your fellow supporter where you believe in your own superiority.

     

     

    Good luck with that dickbhoy.

  16. BABASONICOS71 on

    Can’t believe Celtic fans having a dig at Lenny.Not our greatest manager ever but ffs…remember what he went through.And all because he happened to be Catholic and Irish.Short memories.

     

    As much as i’d like Neg to be happy with all things Celtic I believe he has the right to his views and to express them.He’s no bogey man just because he holds differing opinions from others.In fact,the way he steadfastly refuses to let go of what he believes in is worthy of respect.So as much as i’d like him to be a wee ray of green-n-white sunshine with every post he makes,i’d rather he told it as he sees it.Which,I believe,he does.

     

    So Neg,keep on keeping on.

     

     

    But you should take your ghirl to at least one game. :))

  17. Rationale counter argument Macjay?

     

     

    How about a simple moral one.

     

     

    Let’s pay people decent money for doing a decent job?

     

     

    Isn’t it simple?

     

     

    Or do you enjoy your tyranny over poorer people?

     

     

    Scumbag.

  18. Starryplough 12.29

     

     

    Nobody has said that ,apologies if it came across that way just my own opinion. I feel that if fans had to choose between ridding us of the current SFA by way of victory in res 12 or Brendan Rogers as manager would plump for the latter. just my opinion like lol. Im amazed that a lot of diehard fans are still a bit ignorant about what res 12 is all about …..

     

     

    goodnight blog

    The mask of reasonable negativity slips to reveal the true face lurking underneath.

  20. Originalsadiesbhoy have you considered whether accusing people of mental illness who you disagree with is acceptable?

     

     

    Really pathetic post. But I come to expect it.

     

     

    It’s amazing to me.

     

     

    But I am learning that Celtic supporters aren’t what I thought.

     

     

    Same side of a different coin sadiesbhoy?

     

     

    Does it make you proud?

  21. Well Macjay your contempt for normal working people is clear.

     

     

    You must be so proud.

  22. Neg

     

    getting very fed up with all the nazi crap on here.

     

    Can you just clarify if I am getting this right.

     

    If I am a scottish nationalist and vote SNP then I am a nazi.

     

    Does this also make me a nazi if I am nationalist from the wee 6 and vote either SDLP or SinnFein.

     

    And I would really like a reply to this please

    Living Wage – ‘Where did that work?’

     

     

    Chelsea & Hearts?

     

    ====================================================

     

    Not what I said.

     

    This is what I said.

     

     

    “Just another example of creeping socialist dogma by stealth.

     

     

    Where did that work ?

     

     

    Venezuela ? “

  24. Macjay

     

    Why would it even matter to you if Celtic paid the living wage or twice the living wage .

     

    You dont come on here complaining of the wages paid to the players whether they are worth it or not.

     

    You don’t even live on the same continent so how does it affect you one way or the other

  25. NegAnon2 on 8th June 2016 12:45 am

     

     

    Sandman.

     

     

    Lol

     

     

    =================================

     

     

    lol’r.

  26. Clinto. A vote for SNP is a vote for facism.

     

     

    They continue to prove it. Desperately voting in laws like the obfac.

     

     

    The Scottish position is one of racism against Irish Catholicism. So that leaves you conflicted. Amd with a choice. Which is yours.

  27. Neganon 2

     

     

    You are calling people Nazis, dick boys, scumbags and accusing them of being morally bankrupt and you think you occupy the moral high ground? The language you are using in your posts is becoming increasingly intemperate and extreme. I don’t think you are acting in a rational way at the moment. When you first started posting on CQN, you put your points across in a reasonable manner. You then stopped posting for quite a considerable period but since your return and change of monicker, in my opinion to have been repetitive to the point of obsession and have become increasingly angry in the manner in which you post.

  28. Sandman.

     

     

    Lol

     

     

    Lol

     

     

    Lol

     

     

    Infinti lol

     

     

    Etc.

     

     

    Clever?

  29. Sadiesbhoy I face nothing but abuse for challenging the complacency.

     

     

    So sometimes I strike back a bit.

     

     

    The rise of nazism in Scotland isn’t just my observation. It’s very real.

     

     

    I have posted for over 11 years on cqn. I have never faced such facism.

     

     

    That is no coincidence.

     

     

    Are you proud of that?

    CLINK\O/ on 8TH JUNE 2016 1:14 AM

     

     

    What matters to me is the constant divisive attitude of some of our supporters .

     

    I think it is harmful to Celtic F.C.

     

    In my opinion,,managers should manage.

     

    Supporters should support.

     

    The Board should determine the wage structure of our employees.

     

    Not any external body.

     

    It`a all a matter of principle.

     

     

    Incidentally,my geographical location is an irrelevance.

  31. clogher celt on

    Macjay,

     

     

    How many rows can you conduct at the same time:)

     

     

    But there are examples of the Living Wage being applied successfully at football clubs?

     

     

    Yes/No
