    100% agreed. Couldnt be more genuine in my agreement. I just think balance and prospective is necessary. The board should have acted when we lost to Ross county, or Sparta Prague on both occasions. They didn't.

    We all rightfully criticized Lennon for these occasion. Not sure losing to Milan 4-2 at the san Siro is the time to go for it.

    I just think the fanbase is that desperate to have Lennon sacked now that we will jump on every dropped point or loss. Which I get but again, their 4 goal scorers cost £60M. Am just pointing out, sometimes a bit of prospective is needed

    Couldnt agree more, the shower of * sitting in their luxurious homes are taking the celtic support as cannon fodder , ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, the power should lie with the celtic support we have done it before so unrest is what they want, they will find they will no longer have any hiding place, get them to *, they are not and never will represent me just tory scum , that is how i have felt for quite a long time, only interested in filling their pockets.

    Any other manager with this run of results would either step down voluntarily (and retain a bit of respect in doing so)or cling on for dear life. Unfortunately NL has done the latter and, with the full support of the board, has taken our club to new levels of mediocrity. I dread the thought of playing the manky mob if he's still in control as their triumphalism will know no bounds

    Again it not embarrassing it's about prospective. I n no way do I find losing 2-0 to county acceptable. In no way do I think we should look so defensively frail in Europe. In no way do I think our future should have neil Lennon as our manager. Do I believe criticising the team and manager after losing to Milan away, probably not. Again the 4 goal scorers cost £60M - again a bit of prospective and balance here.

    You wouldnt bet against Milan winning it or going very very far into the competition atleast, again prospective....

    Its not even Lennon that annoying me as much anymore,ive just gone right off him completely now,its the * board i hate even more.

    They know its wrong and still continue with it,they dont give a * but attempt to save face on their man at the helm,they need to be removed,NOW.

    Year after year they have * it up,they have deliberately let that shower of * back in as well when they could have been buried for * life this time,they know exactly what they were doing.

    My fear is that this * Lawell is retiring next year,so he will not give a * whats about to happen to our club,hence why hes playing about like this.

    Scandelous,Sickening Scumbag *,only in it to line their pockets.

    Taken in isolation, a 4-2 loss in the San Siro isn’t a disaster but it’s the cumulation of a terrible run of results and embarrassing press conferences.

    The perspective is that we've won 2 from 11. We've drawn 3 from 11. We've lost 6 from 11. We've kept 1 clean sheet in 11. We've conceded 27 in 11.

    What more perspective do you want?

    Listened to his virw of the game. Warped, delusional, ignorant and Down right lies. 18 goals in the groups stages conceded. 26 in the last 11 games. Won 2 in 11. His legacy is ruined now. He doesn't care either. He is well and truly looking out for himself now.

    Lawell and Lennon are in this together. They know this is their last season at the club and are desperate to suck everything they can out of it before they go. Disgusting. That is what parasites do to their host.

    If this was the huns, we would lapping this pish up as comedy gold. For us, it's acceptable, its the standard. We are a laughing stock. We are weak and the management are content with this and their pish zoom calls.

    Sick of this. Truly I am.

    If you look at the result and the two teams, 4-2 is an unfortunate result, not the worst result.

    If you watched the game it was another abysmal performance and the financial gap looked 10 times bigger than it actually was. The opposition could’ve been Ross County again, we would’ve lost just as handily.

    That’s true perspective.

    If you want to use context rather than perspective, The Moravcik Twitter account says we’re 3 goals conceded from being the worst performing team ever in the Europa League, joint 576th place. There’s still one game to play.

    FFS step away from the keyboard!

    You posted the same * earlier about the strikers costing 60m, I asked what the Ross County strikers cost that scored against us and you skipped past it.

    You want prospective?
    Lennon is and always had been out of his depth, posters like yourself trying to make it look better aren't helping.
    The team is playing like *, it makes no difference if it is Milan or Ross County!

    The only reason we scored tonight is Milan attacked us, teams that don't attack us just shut up shop and wait for their chances, we have no idea how to break these teams down!

    For teams that do attack us, we have no idea how to defend against them!

    You get the feeling that Lennon has rehearsed his after match speech every week now, and that is exactly what he is saying to Lawwell and Desmond in these * ZOOM calls. Should be renamed ZOOMER calls.

    Again I don't disagree as I think I have illustti over and over. Our record is pish poor as of late. But as another poster mentioned above. In isolation, losing 4-2 to Milan away is not the end of the world. By all means hammer Lennon and the team for the occasion it is deserved. The defending tonight is in no doubt atrocious, but 4-2 again Milan away could have happened under our very best managers of the past with our very best teams. It's all about prospective here.

    Their is absolutely no point on jumping on this occasion as a reason to sack Lennon. The previous results and performances do that.

    All these interviews and press conferences that he does before and after games. Why has no journalist ever heard what he's said and just follow up with a pressing question? If he talks about how managers don't get sacked for nothing, they can just read him out the reality of results this season and ask him if that seems like nothing. Pull him up on contradictions like saying he would understand if he was sacked but then also saying you don't just go for no reason. When he was talking * about players not playing for the team, press him after about the same players playing then despite him saying that. If he is talking about how he is pleased with the reaction from his players tonight, bring up how this result is comparable others that previously wasn't good enough either. Isn't it their job to do this? Surely if you're a journalist, you'll get more eyes on your story if you're the one person that makes him actually squirm on the nonsense he speaks rather than just writing up his prepared monologue. Has anyone actually straight up just said, "Results aren't changing, fans online all wnar you to leave, you've been protested against to leave and you're aware that at this point fans are not buying a word about tou turning it around. Why haven't you just resigned now. Aren't you failing all the fans by doing this?". Might seem confrontational but you're a journalist and the people would like to know why he's persisting like this.

    Mate.

    You have just said,

    ‘By all means hammer Lennon and the team on the occasion it is deserved
    ’.

    Then, in the next sentence, you said,

    The defending tonight was no doubt atrocious’.

    Surely you can see the contradiction there? How can you not distinguish results from performances?

    I didn't skip past it at all. I absolutely acknowledged we shouldn't lose 2-0 to Ross county. I just said that shouldn't be compared to losing 4-2 to Milan. It's completely different. Not even remotely the same.

    And yes of course their should be prospective. £60m worth of strikers are likely to be dangerous. Ross county strikers against us shouldn't be dangerous.
    That is prospective.

    Lennon and the team desvere the criticism for the loses to county and Sparta Prague. Even tonight deserves criticism but by no mean should the context be ignored. Losing to Sparta and Ross county are shockers, tonight, shocking defending, but is the result a shocker? Absolutely not.
