The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

Dunno if you sound like a Parrot or a broken record...starting to get boring now

The only parrot here is you rolling out excuse after excuse for Lennon when pretty much everyone can now see how out of his depth he is.

[Main Street]

Couple of videos from Saturday under no pressure pinging the ball woefully out of play. Perhaps he's been asked to  pick the pass or just fancies it cause its Scotland but he has to be told to stop. We bought him to take no shite from attackers and nut in the odd goal from set plays at the other end, do the job and playout the simple ball.

And for Ireland v Finland, Duffy was pinging crossfield passes landing chest high one after the other. On Saturday, was there any player who had a half decent game?  Maybe Ajer and the new LB?  Overall though, it looked to be a wholesale flat tyre performance.

See, that's where you're full of it. Where have i defended Lennon these last few days...far from it. I've said all along i won't defend him nor anyone else if i feel they don't deserve it.

I'm not full of it.

I've criticised Lennon, validly and you're jumping down my throat for it. There's nothing I have said that others do not think and none of it has been unfair, he's not up to the Celtic job, that is being proven, you might not like to hear it but it's the truth so don't get you knickers in a twist.

i'll admit I don't watch internationals and I haven't watched a lot of him other than at celtic but from what I've saw that wasn't a strong part of his game, hopefully he proves me wrong of course

You accused me of backing Lennon no matter what and that's not true, I did not back him this week and to be fair no one could have and he's in serious trouble. His own friend Chris Sutton has criticised him and when that happens then your days are numbered...FACT. If Celtic lose another few games then he's for the chop and you'll be a happy man

It's patently true.

My criticism of Lennon has been just and valid and anytime I've said it you have jumped down my throat. You are not objective on this, you are too closely attached to the manager because he was born a few miles down the road.

I've nothing against Lennon personally, he's just not up to the job and that's becoming ever more obvious. A few more bad results could be a few results too far as it goes for this season. Saturday was a 6 pointer and I saw the writing on the wall for that one for sometime. He needs to go, he needs to go ASAP.

Angelo you keep saying he's out of his depth. He's not - he's an experienced manager and has been highly successful. But it's a results business and he isn't cutting it these days. I don't want him out right away - that is completely the wrong message to send out and gives the huns the impetus going forward. Also who do you bring in? How many managers are there ready to come in against a backdrop of a global pandemic? I agree that something has to change ASAP but sacking Lennon might not be the answer

He's out of his depth.

It seems the Armagh lads can't be objective on this.

He's an experienced manager who was sacked by Bolton and Hibs before he somehow got a second stint at Celtic.

His firs stint at Celtic involved losing a title to Walter Smith, one title against a Rangers side in admin, two further titles against a league without Rangers, another title when he took over a team 8 points clear and another title which was ended by default His whole managerial career is built on a win over Barcelona nearly a decade ago.

He's not up to the job, most people are in that opinion.

It's not about sending messages out to the huns, it's about doing what's best for the club and Lennon is not the man to bring Celtic forward.

[general_lee]

You clearly can't be objective either. Went to Bolton who clearly weren't up front to him about their financial situation, still kept them up despite the sinking ship (20th in the 4th tier of English football right now in case you're wondering) Took on Hibs in the Championship, left them promoted and in Europe. And technically left by mutual consent from both clubs. So let's be up front, he does has some clout outside his Celtic achievements.

Now, I'm not denying he has failed to demonstrate any tactical nous in what should have been winnable games in the here and now; and he doesn't exactly fill me with confidence right now, but I don't see any point in giving him the boot this early and expecting some magician to swoop in and clean up the mess. I think Celtic fans have had it too easy in the last few years and the Rangers are pretty much up to speed and no longer the the laughing stock they were. Failure to secure 10IAR will be unforgivable but I think the club need to persevere with Lennon for the time being. But he's on his last legs without doubt

I am objective. I have nothing personal against him, it's just clear as day that the job is too big for him and he's not up to it.

The club need to get rid ASAP, the performances this season have been abject, the exit out of the CL was humiliating. We need to be proactive rather than reactive.

[Targetman]

Haven't posted since Saturday's debacle, absolutely no fight no game plan and no leadership shown on the field or on the sideline, on the Lennon issue its clear he's lost some of the passion that he's renown for and  some players are just going through the motions, can Lennon turn this around? I'm not sure but the next few weeks are critical in terms of the 10 in a row, big improvements needed immediately!!

[illdecide]

I'm not going to discuss whether NL should get sacked or not any more because it's gobshites like Angela (keyboard warriors) who get people the sack. The same people who if they were to meet NL would be the back slapper and well done men but have the knife in when he turns his back.

Things are bad and i'm not going to deny that and if NL stays for another 5 years or he goes tomorrow won't change how i feel about the club i've followed for 40 years but one thing i'm not going to do here is panic. We win our game in hand and we're ONE point behind (yes...one). Things need to improve and the next 2 weeks will show us if the players are playing for NL or not as another defeat in the league soon and it's prob curtains. The worrying thing is we have Ac Milan on Thurs nite and they beat Inter at the weekend and could give us a hiding too, this game has come at the wrong time...

[Champion The Wonder Horse]

Yellow card for Lennon, according to Phil.

Would sticking a poster of Edwin Poots in the changing room help?
