Rumour Eddie howe is favourite for the job could happen this week Desmonds son been brought into boardroom,dont think hes the answer thoughts?

The same rumour has strachan taking over the U23 team. We don't have an U23 team. Can be filed under pish

Shambles of a season i dont think Calum Mc Gregor is captain or leader material,the midfield today soro,turnbull,mc gregor,johnston,frimpong,should have had enough about them to trouble livingston they were dominated physically all day,rogic is  finished but isnt a striker,i think change is the only way forward.

Change is needed with Lennon for sure but goes deeper than that - a lot deeper.

Board needs cleaned out - not fit for purpose.

This years, or all years, has been a total disgrace.  The club has been run dow this past 4 or 5 years.

Now in a way, I understand why Brendan Rogers left.  He understood what was going on behind the seems with the board.

If Lennon had walked in October, Celtic fans would have held him high esteem.  Now they despise him.

Rodgers was absolutely justified to leave the job. I don't blame him one iota for it but the way he left, mid season with a treble treble to wrap up will always leave a sour taste in the mouth. He should have bit his tongue, finished out the season and walked with his head held high. Had that happened he would have had a large swell of goodwill in what he achieved and understanding that Lawwell was the barrier to Celtic looking to kick on another level. Instead he left with in a cloud, with fans upset and angry at the way he left and took the heat off Lawwell.

Lennon has dined out on the Celtic man thing for far too long. He was blessed to play for a Celtic, an ordinary enough player, we never had to fight off interest from bigger teams for him, he played well past his sell by date for him. I can remember the embarrassing images of him being destroyed by Kaka in the CL. He'd never have done anything in management only for the Celtic job, he's a yes man, happy to do whatever the boss tells him to as he knows there's never going to be another job of this magnitude for him. Overall he's not a Celtic fan, he's a mercenary - if he was good enough he would have walked out on Celtic but he was blessed to play for and manage the club.

3 goals in 214 games for Celtic. A poor man's Peter Grant.

Anyway you are 100% on the situation not improving until Lawwell is rooted out of the job. Lennon didn't appoint himself afterall. It's an old boys club, when we need to go for a coach we get a guy in from f**king Peterborough because he's Gordon Strachan's son. John Kennedy is clearly a lifer there who is Lawwell's snitch. The whole management and coaching team have to go and then the board have to follow.

It's important all the fans follow in line with The Celtic Trust and do not renew their season ticket until Lawwell goes.

Agree with your first and last paragraph. I've recently signed up to the trust. Hopefully they can get stronger and stronger

In fairness, I would agree with this bit also...

He'd never have done anything in management only for the Celtic job

He got a lucky break at the time when Mowbray was sacked.  His record as Celtic boss is fairly underwhelming - he couldn't not pick up a couple of league titles with them.  I'd be surprised if any future managerial position was beyond League two or the scottish championship

To be honest I don't read much of what Angelo says about Lennon. As an example look at the sentence above the one you pointed out.

Does Angelo actually think people on this board who were/are Lennon Fans are to blame?

Good to see Forker getting a nomination

I changed roles at the end of august and can't do my new job form home. In my old role I was WFH from March to august and while it was ok at the start it got tiresome very quickly. You miss actual real life human interaction

All the big licks Lennon was giving about Bolingoli letting the team down this season.

Sack him now.

And Lawell

The one with Kevin Cassidy last night was very good.

Seems a very strong character and great insight into his love for GD football

I hadn't realised that McGuinness offered him a place back on the panel early 2012,  before the all Ireland win.

Was excellent, they have really upped the series in the last few years. Credit to TG4.

Already up on the TG4 player to watch for anyone who missed - well worth it.

Oisin McConville gets a bit of a touch about his accent, but I find his insight excellent. He'll be a county manager soon.

Can also recommend the Aisling Thompson and Kieran Donaghy ones there too.

There's a number two slot just opened up for him

Given the recent run of form and the pandemic raging in Scotland this was a shitshow of a decision. Not to mention the sight of highly paid players drinking and sunbathing when their fans and pay masters are stranded at home.

Agreed. Really there is probably nothing wrong with them having a pint but with the way the season has gone it gives a really bad impression. That's before you mention the pandemic

They won every game after they came back last year didn't they?
I agree that it won't happen this year tho

The minister and the department don't seem to realise that we parents have to make arrangements. Living on a day to day basis, is the school open? closed? arranging childcare, booking time off work, sorting out online classes, etc, etc it's tiring and fills parents with anxiety. Parents need to know. And Teachers need to help this time unlike the last time when they treated it as an early summer holiday.

If the cases keep going up what do you recommend?

Make Teachers redundant and send them to the fields to pick fruit and vegetables.
Honestly if the numbers keep rising I can't see Schools reopening. I don't agree with it but I think that is what'll happen. The disparity becomes huge. Some children will have wonderful online learning experiences and others won't. Some children will suffer huge neglect. That's the truth of it.
My own view is that every other avenue should be exhausted before closing schools. Curfews put in place. Strict work from home. Only 1 outing a day exercise or shops. No mixing. And it needs to be enforced.

That's not a lot of difference from schools being open. Lots of kids have great learning experiences. Lots don't. Lots get neglected. Either in school or at home.

Problem is the comparsion from first lock-down - every family had different experiences.  I know work was laid out on a weekly basis, as a menu i.e. pupils could do it or they didn't have to.  It was a matter of choice (by their parents).  From what I heard, I know some did everything, some did a bit and others never even contacted their teachers to say they were still alive!!

Different reasons for that apparently, some parents wanted routine, others wanted to keep them ticking over while other could'nt have care less about the work.  Another issue was some families had only one computer in house and maybe 3 or 4 kids loiking to use it.  Every situation was different.

At the end of the day, it's up to the parents - they're the main educators in their kids' life.  Not too hard to print off a few sums and a comprehension every day as well as doing a bit of reading.

People always looking to blame somebody else. 

Spend some time with your kids instead of handing them a f'*king X-Box.

If households only have access to 1 computer I have my doubts they have a printer.

While you seem to be getting very defensive Marty, I can assure you work was not laid out on a weekly basis from my experience.

No doubt everywhere was different - Im not apportioning blame - Im telling you factually what happened in my experience

I'd be going to the principal and if it isn't sorted then consider moving the children.

Where to Jim - all schools are closed, and as for trying to meet a teacher or speak to one. 

No they're not. As far as I know we have children in on Thursday and I am back in from Wednesday. Sounds like the schools near you are useless. Where do you live?

Also, I've been contacting parents on class Dojo this morning to check their children's new passwords. A lot of parents have replied. I hadn't one single complaint throughout the whole of lockdown and I'd be pretty confident this next week will be the same.

You must be a great teacher Jim - there is no denying though their is a large section taking the piss, I have contact with folk all over particularly in Belfast through work the conclusion is the same online learning is minimum at best.

Funnily enough I woke in Belfast, and at other locations throughout the north, and I would say the opposite to you. Also just stuck my head out the window and guess what, the school beside me is open. During the last lockdown there were teachers in everyday. And as for teachers being uncontactable, that's a load of nonsense.

As for Bobby Madden.

We all know the only reason he got the gig today and he delivered.

Bitton rugby tackled the Rangers lad to stop him getting in on goal. No other Celtic defender was going to close him done. Stone wall red card. Blaming the ref for that result is delusional and clutching at straws.

Ajer was covering in the middle. It was a very marginal call at best. Dont know why he bothered tackling him though - he'd never score anyway

Ajer was never getting back in time. He's well behind the play. Bitton was stupid though. Morelos still has work to do to score. No need to do what he did.

No chance.... do you even see it. Jack had a stormer didn't he :-)

Ryan Jack had his moments, but no one said he had a stormer. Hagi made a difference in the 2nd half. Morelos is just outside the box when he's pulled down. No way he doesn't get a shot on goal so it has to be a red card. Bitton needs to gamble though and hope he misses. Even if he does score it's still 11 v 11 on the pitch.

Lennon had his team set up tight and didn't get anything wrong. It's not his fault Bitton had a brain fart, paniced and rugby tackled Morelos trying to recover from his mistake.

Duffy looks devoid of confidence and made several mistakes when he came on. No wonder he didn't start.

Delighted for Steven Gerrard. Someone in the PL or Championship will move for him in the summer. Rangers fans in our Scotland office don't expect to be able to keep him beyond this season.

FFS Ryan Jack wasn't playing. You're the one that said was a "nice footballer". After that howler how can i take anything else you say seriously?

This made me howl. Dublin7 was well abs truly had here.

Didn't see the second half as was driving to work and haven't seen the red card so won't comment on it. We played very week first half but I felt uncomfortable that we went in at half time level. Had we been even 1 up we would have went on to win.

League is completely over now

Have started very well

If someone continually criticises the Storey funeral on the premise of covid regs being broken but does not criticise other massive funerals, then their issue is not with covid regulations being broken
