Neil Lennon

Said with all the insolence of a true politician mate. You're wasted on this forum. I'll repeat it for the hard of hearing at the back.....

'Attack Lennon and his conduct the last couple of years by all means but refrain from the personal attacks and mocking of his appearance, drinking habits etc.

Not really that extreme a request is it?'

If you could answer that buddy, ta.

 

That’s a riddy. Go to bed mate.

 

Haha, same mate. Don't just go to bed, wake up, go to school and then come home and try again son. Your point blank refusal to answer it, says it all really. Lights out James, it's late wee man.

Your wee coupon must be throbbing with all the mental gymnastics. Poor wee soul.

 

Get off me.

 

Imagine getting that defensive over Neil * Lennon

 

What happened like?

 

I’m genuinely embarrassed for him. Reminds me of the ‘leave Britney alone’ guy. I feel like even Neil Lennon would be telling him to stop.

 

He’ll calm down when he sobers up.

 

We were playing away in the Champions League.

I can't remember the team we were playing against or if it was season 2012/2013 or season 2013/2014.

But Commons told the story that the team had been announced the night before and he found out he wouldn't be playing. Said he was naturally devastated. So he saw Lennon and Parker in the corridor of the hotel and pleaded with them to allow him to start.

Lennon gave in and put Commons in the starting XI.

Didn't say who was left out for Commins but I just thought it was a really amateurish way to be running a football team. Sunday league behaviour.

 

* sake

 

That’s horrendous

 

I think the other interesting thing about that is a player even approaching the manager in those circumstances.

I think it shows the relationship Lennon had with the players, but what might have worked with a particular group he had time to build 10 years ago hasn’t worked since, especially with us second time round.

Put another way, I don’t think players would dare approach Ange like that, and he’s been successful everywhere he’s went.

 

Guy spent 15m on Ajeti , Barkas and loan fees for Duffy , Laxalt and Kenny in his attempt to win us 10. Left us in an absolute * mess. Worst recruitment in our history just before one of the biggest seasons .

 

Everything about last season was an absolute shitshow. A part of me wonders where would be if we got beat off hearts in the scottish cup final n lennon never got given the job in the showers.

EDIT: Just to clarify this isn't me saying I wished or wanted us to get beat off Hearts and miss out on another treble.

 

He’d just have been given it a few days later.

 

I remember how deflating it was when he got announced, we just won a cup final, everything was great then Lennon got announced, genuinely ruined my week.

 

This. You knew right then where we would end up, it was just a question of whether we would scrape the 10 before we regressed.

I remember where I was and who told me, then the reaction of the crowd over the next 20 minutes as the news spread.

I appreciate some people are Lennon supporters and want to debate how successful he was etc., but there is zero question that the instant reaction of the Celtic support. We all knew it was the wrong decision.

 

Are yous no sick of dissecting last year's shambles..

Torturing yourselves, move on ffs..
