The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Club Rossa]

Shambolic display at Eyepox yesterday.Celtic are diabolical and i think Rangers will win the title easily.

Baffled by Neil Lennon's selections, Hooper and Stokes have a great partnership and he still persists with Samaras, as for the Morroccan where did he get him? Despair for the title prospects at the moment. The board need to look at their spending too.

while lennon may have made mistakes (taking off the loeft full back ad putting on stokes to play a 433 really dsrupted the pattern when Celtic were doing well and could have wont the game at that stage) the problem was the keystone cop-esque defending.

I slagged sham rovers on another page for being completely sihte, but at least their back four looked organised and could defend.
Celtics men were running into themselves (eg the third goal where the useless laugh-aty almost missed his thrd sitter of the game) or couldnt clear the bll to row z (see first goal) or couldnt defend from crosses/corners - eg athletico madrid first goal or rangers second goal yesterday.

I really would do better at centre half than these eejits. Would be tempted to take a pay cut and head over to Glasgow to play for them and win the league!

One wonders if Darren O'Dea should not be in there, he couldn't be any worse.

only criticism of O'Dea is that he is too one footed (like prev Celtic centre half McManus) - he needs to learn how to kick with the right foot in order to improve his game. Trap rates him, so do I. Lennon obv doesnt.

Played some big games for Celtic and never let them down.

halfway through september and four defeats already albeit two away in europe. lenny got the sympathy vote and rightly so but this is turning into a fuckin shambles, if laverty was half decent it would have been six or seven yesterday. why persist with that greek c..t, i am sick of the sight of him. he cost us the title last year with that pen miss. terrible judgement from lenny not off loading him. stokes must have been thinking what the hell more can i do to get a start in these big games.

He doesn't seem to rate Irish players.

A shambles is too generous. Lennon clearly is not up to the job and should have had the sense to learn his trade in the lower leagues a la MoN

Who would take the job is the question.

Lennon has got this far on the back of the fans love for him as an ex player and cult hero and the fact that he winds up the establishment so much. The bullets in the post etc prob bought him more time through focusing minds on the naked sectarianism he faced rather than his work as a football manager.

As someone said yesterday however... If being a cult hero is all the qualification needed for the job why don't Celtic hire the Pope to manage......

Even after Sunday, I still reserve the right to laugh at the huns:

League cup result-Falkirk 3-2 Rangers and Ayr beat Hearts on penalties.

Its that hope that will eventually cause you pain. Abandon all hope now, and you wont get hurt.

Away on with that shite Let me have visions about while it is there for the taking

I couldn't beleive the quotes from Lennon in the IN. If last nights performance is an improvement Christ help us. Shite defending for the first and a flukey second.

In fairness Celtic never really looked in trouble last night, the win was well deserved. Was great to see young Paul George (from Co. Down) getting a run out last night, could be just the tonic to get over Islam Feruz and his mercenary lot.

As for Sunday.................... well not much to say really, better side won on the day, at least Lennon has come out and admitted that he picked the wrong team and got his tactics  wrong, hopefully he'll take that performance and learn alot from it.
