Good man. Every day is a new day. Live one day at a time.

The thing is these things never happened to Lennon at Bolton - I don't think he's changed as a manager. Manages at Celtic and Hibs and he takes abuse every minute of the game

So the thing is clearly sectarian.  Clear as day.

Stop all this it's his own fault, he brings it all on himself waffle.

As Lennon alluded to himself, if he was black or Jewish and he was getting abuse the whole game, the SFA / FA would go to town on clubs, and rightly so!

I think his agent said it's to do with he's an Irish catholic who played for Celtic. The croppy, like Mc Clean won't lie down.

Call it out for what it is and stop hiding behind 'he brings it on himself, it's all his fault etc waffle. It's sectarian - pure and simple.

As someone else alluded to, Jose M run and slides up and down the line, Klopp of Liverpool engages is the run and fist pumps but no coins ever get thrown at them.

Complete cop out re: Lennon. Has suffered sectarian abuse at every away ground in Scotland except CP but it's all his fault!! How do you work that out?

Takens abuse for 85+ mins then he decides to put finger over lips or motions his hand in a calm down type of motion and they throw coins at him.

Call it out for what it is - sectarianism because Lennon, like Mc Clean won't hide away.

This has probably been covered but what's the best sports podcast available at the minute?

General sports one that cover random sports topics.

Sensible decision alright but bit of travel for both. Good facilities in Armagh though. Either that or Owenbeg.

Great result for Ballycran and it was, in fairness, coming. SN were lucky to beat KL's in Derry semi-final - very lucky as a matter of fact. They were comfortable v Banagher in final but looked very leggy and lacking energy.  The break will do them no harm.

Should be an interesting final. C'dall may have the experience to edge it. They hung in against St. John's the first day so they have that tenacity but so have Ballycran re: finish in Down final.

You'd think the the 'chief scout' would be consistently doing a dossier on players throughout Europe and beyond.  He should, as you say, have a right back, centre back and forward lined up for Jan. This should be updated on a daily basis.

Who is available, out of contract, club history, injuries and character etc.

Would this not make it easier to do, especially when there's only 2 windows nowadays?

I think if you click on it club name should come up - maybe Killyman?

IOwenbeg was drained during the summer I think so that's not a problem now afaik.

Plastic poppies on the lamp posts of Bristol this weekend.

Saw 6-8 cadets in one shopping centre selling them.

Theres no way this happened 10-15 years ago. What has caused the upturn? Fund the army??

Brexit!!!

Owenbeg would be a long trip for ballycran.

I think Ballygalget play S'neil there a couple of years ago.  But it was a semi-final? 

Maybe Armagh?

Where will Ulster final be?

Eoghan Rua won Derry in 2012. Probably 2nd best team in Derry since - after Slaughtneil obviously. Very consistent team. I'd say they'll be looking to progress in Ulster. They maybe did their 'celebrating' in 2012 and will try and push on a bit this year.

We're def. not good enough for Campions League and will struggle to qualify in Europa League - that's the level Celtic are at. Scottish league is a poor enough league so teams can't expect to do well in Europe regardless of who their teams play nowadays.

They didn't invest in summer - as a matter of fact it was a mess. As I stated before board though they could squeeze through to another champions league group stage without investing. They got badly caught out. Will be difficult to qualify now in Europa League.  The gamble failed miserably. The board also think they'd win league again without much investment - which they should do but tighter than expected I think.

As you say, new investment needed: keeper, right back and centre back. A forward also. Celtic have too many average players on their books....not playing but on decent wages.  They need to go and keep a smaller panel but more quality.  Supplement this with youth team players should be the way to go in my opinion.
