    Thought his tactics were good and we outplayed them but I don't understand when we're needing a goal and we have a guy on the bench in Griff that is a proven goalscorer he decides to bring on him on with 4 minutes to go. It's * ridiculous.

    Cronyism is what worries me and it extends to the current manager/DoF search.

    The qualification to play for, coach at or manage Celtic should never be 1) being Irish 2) being mates with Desmond 3) having done well here previously, or any combination of the three. But we all know they’re big factors behind how we operate.

    It’s why I’m skeptical over the potential Harkin appointment. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, but it tells me that the recruitment model hasn’t changed, and it’s that model that needs to change before we’ll reach our potential.

    Substitutions were totally baffling. He should sling his hook along with the rest of them.

    doesnt help when your playing a past it scott brown at 35 that cant run instead of a rampaging and fit soro and a christie who has been pathetic the whole season

    playing with 2 men down from the start and then this * of a coach cant make subs till the end of the game

    as i said we seem to be set on deliberately self sabotaging ourselves

    this cant be happening with the whole board room not noticing, it just cant

    Couldn’t agree more. Desmond needs chased out the club. He’s a dictator but much better at hiding it.

    If we took half of our chances we'd have won comfortably, but his substitutions were bewildering.

    We would have won a lot of games comfortably this season had we taken our chances, including Lenny's last game vs them. Still, it doesn't excuse their incompetence.

    The insipid line up, late and baffling substitutions, * defending at set pieces and overall lack of urgency and ability to play fluid football is why this guy should be nowhere near the club in a few months.

    He's a carbon copy of Lennon, that much is obvious.

    Difference between us and them is they get the ball wide an cross it 90% on the time , we get the ball wide and pass it back 90% of the time ! All our players are on the 18yard line when we have ball wide! They had 4 men along our 6 yard line at one point when they got the ball wide !

    his knowledge and experience is good but having a 35 year old that cant run and is late in the tackle 90% of the time is not good enough for celtic just him being on the park means we cant press the way we should be able to and we cant push right up on the opposition safely hes a liability mate

    he should have been punted to austrailia 3 years ago instead were still playing him every game for the full 90 minutes its a disgrace and shows how inept our management and coaches are if they dont see what we lose as a team by having an old man thats well past his best in the most important central position in the spine of the team, its ridiculous

    Self-harming defensively? Check. Inability to convert chances? Check. Poor use of substitutes? Check. Players being replaced who are playing better than some who are left on? Check. Nothing has changed since Lennon left and no-one in their right mind should be considering Kennedy as new manager. The only thing that surprised me today was that we didn't go the whole hog and actually contrive to lose the game. Sevco a stick-on now to go unbeaten in the league, we had our chance today and threw it away.

    Yep, you'd think if he wanted the job and really believed he had a chance to earn it he would distance himself from Lennon's tactics and be brave in his decisions and style.

    Instead, it's been as uninspiring and predictable as under Lennon. Nowhere near good enough.

    I think we are all in agreement that Turnbull and Ajer are about the only two who have shown anything this season yet he takes Turnbull off and leaves posing Christie on to * about. He also refuses to make changes until it was too late in the game as if he was hanging on for the draw. Fecking clueless

    Soro too. Let's not forget about him.

    Poor guy has been utterly shafted, I'd be knocking on the door with a transfer request tomorrow if I was him

    Think soro has shown his class any time he has played bit raw at times but his tackling passing and being in the right place to stop attacks been excellent

    Can we get a poll of who actually rates Kennedy? You get all these quotes that he is a good coach but as they used to say on chewing the fat: "I smell s****."
