Talk of Neil Lennon! Jesus Christ

Wash your mouth out...

Its the salary these big guns will demand Arnie Slot and his back room team will be £10m+, Eddie Howe may not be as much but it won't be too far off that. Kieran McKenna has a clause in his last payout that would cost Celtic £6m just to free that up before any negotations. Knowing Celtic they will have John McGlynn the Falkirk manager or someone of that calibre

That should be no problem to Celtic. Just pay out McKenna and start building. Spend money to make money and all that. But we all know that it's the small club and biscuit tin mentality of the owners. In saying that, they did spend a bit of money (that they made from transfers) and some of the players appear to be badduns! Or maybe they're just playing with no confidence. Who knows ffs.
Love Neil Lennon but I never rated him that much as a manager and it would be a step backwards. The whole thing is a shambles.

I think this is the worst standard of championship I have seen in Antrim for as long as I can remember. A decent run and bit of momentum by any of the top 4/5 clubs would get you close to the final in Antrim these days. Very little quality on any team that I have seen so far.

We made a complete balls of the LD game. Cruising with 10mins left and somehow get beat. Adam getting injured right before the PG1 game was a disaster too. But we are still a good bit behind the level we were at a few years ago. Hopefully another winter will help a few of the young lads and we have a decent age profile.

With Aghagallon having met Sarsfields, Lamh Dhearg and Portglenone it isnt hard to see how you came to this conclusion. You havent met either of the two clear favourites Dunloy or Cargin or even St Brigids. Il agree to a certain extent that the championship is a worse standard but letting 16 teams enter it when 8 max are worthy of a place is the main issue but that's been covered on here numerous times.
Joe Cassidy loved that PG1 result yesterday, its taken the heat completely off what he has done at Creggan and that is stick them firmly in reverse gear!

Take the teams you mentioned. Dunloy, Cargin and St. Brigids. In my opinion they wouldn't get near the Cargin teams from the recent past and obviously no where near the St. Galls teams. They're the best of a bad bunch. Hardly a player in Division 1 that you could get excited about. And yes, 16 teams is stupid. That's an easy fix.

Seann Elliot, Conhuir Johnston?

They're 2 of the ones I thought of. One or 2 potentials on St. Brigids team and the likes of Molloy on Dunloy. But bad job when you can hardly think of half a dozen properly quality footballers in a whole championship. You'd have had 5/6 in your Cargin teams alone! Still some of them playing now well into the twilight of their careers too! Antrim football is as poor as it's been in a long long time.

Arne Slot and Eddie Howe lying up in the house doing nothing. Who'd want the Celtic job now though.

Why the hell did O'Neill not just ride off into the sunset with the perfect finish last year.

O'Neill and his team have to go

Not taking last nights game in isolation but lets be honest, a crisis this is not.
FWIW I expect a tanking on Sunday. That team is missing something. With the players they have they should be doing better

Not be long turning into a crisis! They're arguably playong worse the past few weeks than they played at their worst last year ffs.

Where do you even start?

😱😱😱
Pog gone! Looked in bad enough shape! He's a tough man so it must be bad.

This is up there with the worst nights supporting Celtic in 40 years

Honestly, it's for the best. No point going to the Champions league and losing every game 4 or 5 nil.

Don't disagree.
Remain to be convinced about big Hogh.

He's starting to turn into 'big donkey' territory if he doesn't score more goals. He's a good target man though. But his finishing has been poor. His chance one on one with keeper was such a poor attempt. That goal wee conceded was just horrendous. Gave them all the hope they needed to push on.

I'm not even totally surprised tbh. This always had potential when you're that open at the back. Been papering over the cracks and riding our luck for weeks now. Get away with it in Scotland but not against a half decent team in Europe. Totally gutted.

Normal service has resumed

40 mins to hang on ffs
