    I don't believe for a minute that we'll finish third this season, but it's looking increasingly likely that we'll finish 2nd for the fourth season running, if things don't dramatically improve. I don't know if I can take yet another year of those * gloating.

    Can't believe the amount of people who'd throw in the towel this early in the season, just hope the manager and players have a better attitude.

    The league is far from finished. At this stage of the season, the huns point advantage is hee haw and we'll close the gap. We need to have much more bottle if we want to win the league though.

    I remember the huns dropping points all over the place around this time in 2009 and turning around to win the league in 2010, mostly because Kris Boyd was taking in lots of penalties against the diddy teams while they were beating us due to shoddy management and lacklustre players. We can still win this. Rangers have a new manager too who will make mistakes and their squad has undergone some major changes as well.

    Yes, I think it's over.

    If Rangers beat St Mirren they will have went through the whole division dropping only 2 points. I really can't see who is going to take points from them. This Celtic squad is far more likely to drop more points than Rangers and I just can't see Celtic winning all 3 remaining Old Firm games. Time now to think about preventing the 5 in a row.

    I havent read all the other posts in here...too many, but i have voted "maybe".However, if Lennon leaves or is shown the door, i will be grateful for his effort.If that happens, it will be sad but understandable.....but what isnt understandable is the abuse directed at him on a personal level in here from those that claim to be fans.
    Get to * Lennon,
    * off Lennon ya clown,
    wee runt from Lurgan,
    get him to *,
    Lennon and that halfwit Lawwell can * off,
    those are just a few of the posts i read during and after the game yesterday.I can understand people saying they agree or disagree with a buy or a selection, but to resort to abuse because the team is doing badly is beyond a joke.Who deserves being spoke about like that?Even the abuse Samaras gets is ridiculus.I dont like him or rate him myself, but that does not mean it is ok to be abusive as if he was Naismith.The manager isnt losing on purpose...Samaras isnt missing on purpose, so they do not deserve abuse, especially by their own fans.....the so called best in the world who are always patting themselves on the back for being so great!Aye, just wonderful we are...just look at the comments directed to the guy we all adored just 5 minutes ago.
    Im not saying be happy, but give him until he fails before showing him the door.If he fails, fine...he will have tried though, and abuse is completely uncalled for.....but he hasnt failed yet!Lets just see how it pans out.I mean, according to some we have already lost the league, so why not let him try his best to push Rangers for a few months yet, and if he fails, ok...time to move on, but give the guy a break.....he isnt doing well, but he still hasnt failed.
    PS...i would rather those "fans" that resort to those kind of comments "got tae *" rather than Lennon or Samaras.

    The personal abuse directed toward mogga was also upsetting. Especially Lennon who is a real Celtic man who has taken bombs and bullets and stayed in the hotseat, its really uncalled for. Lets see how many of these people would stay at any job if bombs and bullets showed up in the post. Wee runt? yeh

    Anyone that dishes out personal abuse/insults to Neil Lennon after what he went through for us last season should be * ashamed of themselves.

    This:50:! * it I aint giving up until its mathematically impossible! Sell our duds in Jan and please Lawell gie Lenny the funds get the scouts seriously roaming out NOW to find a more solid CB, playmaking AM and striker! 5 mil should get the reinforcements we need if the scouts have done their homework!

    Stokes Must play with Hooper, and as above, Bangura/stokes if Hoops aint doing it. I like this formation/setup a 4-3-1-2 with Bangura linking with the front two?:

    Zaluska

    Wilson Mulgrew Rogne El-Kaddouri (Izzy when fit)

    Kayal Wanyama Ledley/Commons (Get that weight aff!)

    Bang Bang

    Hooper/Stokes

    What do you guys think?

    Agreed. People who direct abuse like that at a Celtic manager and former player are nothing short of despicable.

    who would buy our duds they are duds for a reason?, and mr lawwell and co had the opportunity to back lenny in the summer but again they haven't so the chances of that happening in january are slim .

    Anyway I don't really think for a second the huns won't drop points for the remainder of this season. Is this not the same team that dropped out of the League Cup to the mighty falkirk just a few days ago? I think it is.

    To have any chance we need to be solid for the rest of the season and hope der Hun have a bad run of results at some point.

    I believe the Huns will go through a run of bad results at some point this season but I don't believe and there's no evidence to support this team can be solid for a substantial amount of time so unless Lennon manages to turn the teams attitude and application around with extreme haste we will be watching a * Rangers team lift the trophy AGAIN which is * sickening.

    How can it possibly be over when it is still in our own hands?

    It wasn't over in our 3 in a row season when the margin was similar and we only had half a dozen games left of the season.

    Will I * be conceding anything to the huns, we win all our games and we have won the league.

    I'm only basing my opinion on what I've seen so far this season , we are an absoloute shambles played 14 games this season won 7 a 50% win rate if that continues we could end up lower than 2nd .
