    Stevie Wonder also thinks this.

    He is the Manager FFS. Something wrong ? Identify and change if you have the ability.

    "Not really Lennys fault" ? Who is the manager then. Who can change this. Does he have the ability to do so. On todays showing ? NO.

    Why ? 'Cos we see the truth.? Specsavers for you my friend.

    Samuel Bobo, 16 games in the league undefeated.

    We lose the first Old Firm of the season, that's not the end of the world.

    Someone give Sammy a cuddle!

    Give the lad a break. He is learning his trade as we have all had to do, and we have all made mistakes. He made one massive mistake today and that was to play Loovens instead of Hooiveld.

    Lets face it, I cannot stand rangers but they were the better side today

    Agreed.

    Not 1 worth a jot.

    What about cup finals, O.F. games, Europe ?

    Sorry. He's not got it.

    How can you seriously say that after a great winning league run which has just ended today.

    We are still in October ffs and some Celtic fans are saying Lennon hasn't got it!!??! Some fans do my * head in.

    Aye I was thinking that coming out of the ground today mate but Lennon is a very smart man and he will learn from these mistakes and push on from there imo.

    Few times in the past if we lost the first OF game we would have fell ten points behind. We played badly today, the huns played well, we're three points behind, whats the answer? sack the manager, get a new team, sack the board, the ballboys and the wee wuman that washes the strips. The hysteria is the same on here every time the team don't win.

    agree with this 100% i don't think anything will escape neil.he will learn more about himself, his team and his opponent from the way this game panned out today than if we had scored that goal at half time and went on to win with the same level of performance. got to remember he is still serving an apprenticeship at one of the toughest jobs in the british game.

    It's all very well having a Celtic manager that is pasisonate and whose heart is in the right place. We have had other Celtic managers with the same ingredients but it still wasn't enough to win leagues and cups.A Celtic manager needs to have more than that, he needs to have tactical awareness and footballing intelligence, to getting the better of his opposite numbers and bring home leagues and silverware. I'll give Lennon until January but if we are 6+ plus behind Rangers, I serve notice I will not be a happy bunny with him.

    But in all honesty, I'm struggling to call to mind any Celtic manager or player that you've ever thought does have it. :86:

    IF Lenny is going to learn, there will at least need to be a new THOSE running the club, and that aint going to happen.
    People keep mentioning how many league games Lenny has won, Robbie Keane was playing in a number of those games, and as of now we dont have anybody near as good as he is.
    Also people are saying we are playing good fitba, well a lot of what I see is pass backs and to the side play, in fact one of those pass backs was poorly kicked out by Forster and bingo Rangers score.
    Neil Lennon was habitual himself in passing the ball back and especially to the side, Lenny was a clean up man, never was a very constructive midfielder, certtainly not a Paul Lambert type player.

    with all due respect mate whats that got to do with his ability to manage. walter smith was a decidedly average full back for dundee utd but has won how many titles. likewise jock stein was nothing more than a journeyman centreback but forged the greatest attacking, most attractive team in our clubs history

    we all have our opinions on who should have got the job. bottom line was that lennon should never have got it.

    Its called keeping possession mate. Something we have done far better this season than we have in the last few.

    Then blame the board. I didn't want Lennon to get the job and was totally * that he did get it. Imo it was to be a cheap option.

    He has totally stripped the team (probably on the say so of the board in some cases like McGeady and Boruc), replaced 4 loans from last year, had a new team almost, but has still got a superb record. Lennon should be applauded for doing what he has so far. How many hastily put together teams win 8 on the bounce. We lost today against a team that has been together for a while and when the dust settles you will see that they were not that much better than us. We will improve, they will not. Keep the faith.
