The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Angelo]

Absolutely and Lennon's little bully boys on here should be utterly embarrassed at their conduct throughout.

Go back to September and you can see the veiled posts and innuendo from them. They got their wish, their utterly incompetent boy was put above the importance of the club and we're now in the situation we're in.

You still haven't realised what happens on an Internet discussion board has no relevance to real life.  I had to laugh at you going on and on about Soro and Turnball and you almost trying to take credit for them playing well - as if you had some input, it was actually Lennon who successfully integrated them into the side.

Sorry but that's nonsense. The dogs on the street knew that Brown was finished but Lennon kept playing him while you had Soro and Turnbull on the bench. Its was inexcusable

Turnball only signed at the tail-end of August ffs, breaking into a Celtic team should take time when you've someone the calibre of Scott Brown there!!! Good to see there's plenty willing to throw him under the bus anyway. Never heard Soro's name mentioned here until it became clear Brown was on the wane but everybody seems to think  he's the next Roy Keane. Facts are they were both signed on Lennon's watch, he's successfully integrated both of them into the team - not Internet slabbers.

2 away games in 3-4 days and especially away in Europe. Energy levels def down a bit but to be expected. If Lennon was to win the quadruple it still wouldn’t satisfy some people

At least it's clear to see that you will continue to defend Lennon no matter how apparent it becomes that the guy is completely out of his depth.

I won't defend him no matter what...What I seen today is the players on the bench are not ready and not as good as the seasoned campaigners. I know i'll not judge them completely after one game but they got their chance today (some of them) and didn't grasp it. I will defend Lennon all day long against people like you though as you either clearly don't know what you're talking about, on the wind up or just blind hatred for Neil Lennon, his record speaks for itself and the only blemish this season is the Champions League and it still irks him. 25pts out of a total of 27pts is good going. The thing is Celtic have been poor enough in a fair few games but still find a way to win and that comes from the likes of Scott Brown, their leader and their Captain.
His changes won the game today when it looked like it was going to end 0-0, we're top of the league and have European football too New Year and all things lead to the Sevco game in a few weeks which will have a massive bearing on the season...HH

We had Soro and Turnbull rotting on the bench and only got a chance in our first team once we were out of the CL, out of the EL, out of the League Cup, 15+ points behind in the league.

They've been our best players this season but this is the sort of nonsense the Lennon's apologists were coming out with. They stated the need to get behind the team and the manager but had little to say when I showed that they didn't really follow their own advice when they had plenty of vitriol for Ronny Deila.

Then again, Ronny Deila did have a pop at the amateur set up Celtic were under Neil Lennon so these lads get quite aggressive when Lennon is criticised, I have first hand experience of that.

Do you even watch Celtic? Soro was here 11 months, Brown has been on the wane for at least 18 months. We had to wait until we had been knocked out of European football twice, knocked out of the League Cup, had our league season effectively over before either of these two guys got a chance.

You have some neck to talk about internet slabberers. No doubt you were one of those internet slabberers yourself when it was a Norwegian over Celtic and not some snus addict from Lurgan.

Just stop. You're making a show of yourself. Scott Brown of 3 or 4 years ago then maybe but the Scott Brown of this year? We've known about Soro since he was signed. We've be crying out for him to get a chance but no. Lennon is both stubborn and useless and only makes changes in the last 15 or 20 mins or when its forced on him. I wish i didn't have to give out about him and I wouldn't have to if he just f**ked off. I wish him well in the the rest of his life as long as its far away from Parkhead.

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

[reddgnhand]

Lennon has ruined any legacy he had at Celtic. He'll always be known as the man who f****d up the 10. He appears to have no self respect or respect for the fans. He should have been shown the door after the CL debacle.

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.

I’m not going to pretend I’m a Celtic fanatic or a soccer expert, but I’d sooner lose the 10iar at this stage and get us back competitive in Europe, rather than win 10iar and continue to fail in Europe, or worse- lose 10iar on the last day of the season . Maybe I’m a bit warped , but no matter what Rangers do now, their title this year , unfortunately fir them, will be viewed as being down to Celtic’s implosion with a poorly performing team snd management. We’ve had 9 years of bragging rights, let them concentrate and invest heavily on the  SPL title , whilst Celtic concentrate on getting to the next level in Europe. We are a big enough club to do that, and ironically a more competitive Rangers challenge in Scotland will help us get there.
Meanwhile, I hope somebody in Celtic is looking at ways of developing an Atlantic league to secure more investment to compete with the TV investment the EPL and others enjoy. Short to medium term we need a quality manager and coaching /development structure to get us better in Europe . We need to do more to attract the quality needed, as opposed to trying to piece together a team of loanees or players seeing Celtic as a stepping stone . 10iar would have been great but ultimately just local bragging rights, and it wouldn’t sit well with me if this team surpassed the Lisbon Lions 9iar. With the pressure off in the league it’s an opportunity to blood players, as opposed to stifling young players in the reserves , whilst gifted loanees play in the first team as each match was unloseable in the quest for 10iar. Every cloud has a silver lining

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.

[general_lee]

Big round of applause for illdecide and the Armagh lads on here who dug in and defended Lennon when the dogs on the street knows he couldn't manage a pub team.

Well done lads, you destroyed history for Celtic to keep your unqualified, arrogant Lurgan man in a job.

Clap, clap, clap.

I mean this in the least offensive way possible. Are you on the spectrum?

[Angelo]

The rats are fleeing the sinking ship this evening.

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