    I think we earned our own luck tonight, if we were lucky the offside goal would have been given (was about quarter of a yard offside) and had a nailed on penalty. We stuck in there and played brilliantly. Outside of the two goals... did Forster have a save to make?

    Forgot bout that one, thought that was a harsh freekick as well :56:

    Done not bad on the defensive front, despite the 2 goals.

    Don't forget the ridiculous bookings for Mulgrew and Wanyama. Ref was gash tonight, almost missed the foul on Hooper and subsequent red card as well.

    Well done Lenny tonight, his players, his tactics, all our victory!

    Think the sending off had an influence but think we were good value for the win tonight and great to be in this position two games in!

    I know there's still 4 to go but i'd rather have the points on the board.
    Mon the hoops :D

    Both bookings were ridiculous, I can understand the Wanyama one but the Mulgrew one? Literally got booked for dodging a tackle and beating the man.

    Really is bringing the best out of every player.

    Long may his reign as manager continue.

    It's a tough learning curve I'd imagine but he and the team grow every day. Can't believe I doubted him.

    I think Neil could be here for a long, long, long time.

    Remember last season and particularly the season before he just would not make a substitution or made the wrong one? We were all screaming! Looks like he is learning as his subs tonight were bang on the money. That's all I ask of him. Learn from your mistakes Lenny and more results like tonight will follow. I'd live to feel the feeling he will have tonight, sadly I never will.

    Unbelievable at getting the best out of players. Tactics were superb tonight and he done something Martin ONeill or Strachan could not do, get an away win in the champions league. Delighted for him.

    Making of a legend! Can we hold on to him if let's say we have a great run in Europe and win everything in Scotland. Big teams down south may come sniffing

    He has been at his lowest ebb both playing for Celtic and managing when by his own admission he was 45 minutes from the tin tack.

    He deserves every possible plaudit going for his results in Europe this season. He has outshone both his mentor, O'Neill and a seasoned pragmatic veteran in Gordon Strachan. When you think of it that way and marry that with the fact he is working under greater financial restraints you begin to realise the enormity of his achievements.

    As his experience increases alongside his confidence and his ability to read football matches and get the best out of players it is in turn both relaxing and mellowing him as a person. Couldn't be more delighted for him personally, he truelly is one of us.

    It's unbelievable when you think how far we've come under Neil Lennon. Last night was another huge moment in his managerial career. Exciting times ahead, Neil could be here for a long time.

    A year ago yesterday we were beaten comprehensively at Tynecastle and were miles behind the deed Rangers, and most wanted rid of Lennon.

    How things quickly change in football.......:icon_mrgreen:

    Can Neil Lennon Become our Alex Ferguson

    I know people may have a laugh at this but I truly believe Neil Lennon showed last night he has what it takes mentally to cement himself as celtic manager for a decade or longer. I believe the signs were there in a tie away to udinese last year in which he showed just how intelligent a manager he is and last night banished any doubt that he is a courageous and brilliant young manager in my opinion the best up and coming in Britain atm. Forget Martinez, Rodgers and Lambert, Lennon’s signing policy I feel is the best we have seen at that club, and even the decision to sell Ki was perfectly timed. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
    I believe domestic dominance and ever improving position in europe each year will see Neil holding down the post for as long as possible with youth very much on his side I would love nothing more for him to be at the helm for at least the next ten years.<o:p></o:p>
    I don’t think ive ever been as excited in the last five years after that result last night it was euphoric. <o:p></o:p>
    Thank you Neil

    Absolutely. He outsmarted an extremely good manager in Unai Emery last night and is still learning as well. Lenny will be here for a long, long time. He loves Celtic and we love him
