No blame game... Just hurting tonight...

To all those fair weather supporters who are playing the bame game straight away... Am sick tonight of hearing about:

Lennon to go.

Dan and Charlie to be sidelined for replacements in the summer.

Lawell to look in the mirror.

Dermot to put his hand in his pocket.

Lennon's decisions tonight.

Referee decisions this season.

To all of you who are so keen on any of the above, where were you last week after the 4-1 win at home to Dundee United. Where were you at the 4-0 humping of Killie away. Where were you after securing a draw at Ibrox? Were your opinions not valid then?

Things were going okay then, and the simple fact of the matter is is that wew had a bad day at the office at unfortunatley a critical time of the season. I am hurting tonight, as many of you all are. However, in our manager's first season in top level football in the goldfish bowl that is the Old Firm, he has transformed our team. We have quality players, who this week have came out in the press and stated their desire to stay at our club. Our manager is building our team to a brighter future.

* Rangers and what state they are in, as I have read too many people going on about how they are on thteir knees. Well, for a team on their knees they have done alright to lose only 5 our of 35 games. Get a grip. Yes we are hurting, and yes our chances of winning back the flag are very slim now, but why not get behind our bhoys and give all the irrational kneekjerk reaction bullshit a rest.

Hail Hail. In Neil we trust. YNWA.

 

Here, here

 

incredible post, sir!

 

You sir are a legend

 

exactly what i feel mate. where were the people calling for lennon to go when we beat the huns 2-0 at ibrox or 3-0 at home?


the guy has taken on a rangers team who have played together for years and have the most experienced manager in scottish football at their helm, this cannot be denied no mater what people think of smith.

he has had attempts on his life had death threats bullets pics of his family put on the interent and unbelievable abuse all season but has still got himself out of bed in the morning brushed all that aside and managed to give us a very good celtic team in his first season with some fantastic players bought for peanuts who are still in with a shot at winning the title.

we should all be backing lenny because he will learn so much from his first season as he did from the games he was in charge at the end of last year.

if we turn around and win the league i hope all the people acting like they are jose mourinho have the balls to admit they were wrong and cant help jumping on the bandwagon of negativity!!!

WE ARE ALL NEIL LENNON YNWA

 

Nice post

They'll all be alright in a few weeks. Be thinking about the new season.

The pain is just really bad tonight. This goes very deep.

It will take a while to heal, but it will heal.

Mice to see some agreement my fellow hoops... Indeed the dram is flowing now the night... I feel a song coming on...

♫ Oh - Over and over, we will follow you... ♫

Hail Hail

 

I'm not going to say any of that jazz, blaming the board, refs etc. What/who I am goin to do is blame the whole team (for tonight). THought I could come back on after a few hours of therapuetic Pro ev, but I can't. THe whole team shall shoulder the blame and hold their heads in shame after tonight. That was the most pitiful performance of the season and we as Celtic supporters deserved better. There is no argument against that.
Who knows we could still win the league. Before the game it was we should win the title, now it is could we? Hopefully. Bt giving it back to they * makes me sick. And I can't blame ref decisions, or individual performances. But I can blame the whole team and I will.

Lennon to go.... Not a chance. We're on to somthing here. He's learning the hard way and I hope even if the league is lost he won't quit.

Dan and Charlie to be sidelined for replacements in the summer..... I've always thought we need better defenders. I am not one for the "that'll do" attitude, especially with the team I love. Should always look for better players and imo defence is top priority. Maj, good leader, shakey defender. Mulgrew, needs to bulk up, work on his postitioning and could be a good cb. Still need better though.

Lawell to look in the mirror...... He's running Celtic pretty well from what I can see. Don't agree with all he does but if it weren't for him we'd be more *.

Dermot to put his hand in his pocket.... He's put alot in and had a good whack back. We do need investment, but to rely on one man who is essentially here to make money, why should he? I agree with this statement

Lennon's decisions tonight.... I would have picked that team tonight. Best squad available. But after the first half, why persist with the long ball? change it at HT could have been different. But Lenny was no to blame, it was the players. THey showed * all passion, fight or desire to win when needed. THis was a title swinger and we * missed it, AGAIN!!! I've really never felt so sick at the thought.

Referee decisions this season.... Have been pish, but we shouldn't need them. We should be playing better. The ref excuses (as much as they are credible, and downrught outragous at times) its not an excuse. No excuses for tonight anyway. Was the players fault.


Anyway, rant over. Tonight team shat it. Credit to ICT, they played thier game and we * our own.
Who knows, we could still win the title. But this is the fist time since Xmas I have doubted it.
From the only positive side I have (which is really * hard for me) is that we have some cracking players and very ambitious management team. Keep our top players and management team and we could do stuff.

 

if we end up with 90+ points am i correct in saying that's the most we've had since o'neill days?! im fair gutted but its not over yet

 

you sum everything up! one celtic one neil lennon !
:huddle:

 

we stand behind our leader!

P.S. TheWayneEvent great post - i agree on everything you said
