    Simply put no. You see how he reacts on the touchline, even against teams like St Mirren, if we're not playing well.

    I do believe that some of the players become complacent though, and it's Lennon that kicks them back into touch. Dundee last week - 1-0 up at halftime and we were pretty average. Second half - much better performance and win 5-0.

    If the team turn in another lacklustre performance and get knocked out of the scottish cup on sat to all but end our season I think he should seriously consider his position. Sick and tired of his teams not turning up on the big occasions sometimes his team selection and formations look baffling. Really needs to get the finger out and stop these shocking performances.

    Guaranteed league title and a very respectable run in Europe this season will ensure he will not be sacked, even if we lose tomorrow. Nor should he be.

    If he leaves, it will be through his own personal choice. Quite frankly, I don't see him going anywhere for the next few years. He may want to be remembered as the man who led us to 10 in a row.

    Flying in the league and in the last 16 of the CL on a shoestring budget and our manager should "consider his position" if he doesn't win at the weekend.

    biggest pile of * I've ever read.


    what the * is wrong with some people? Seriously, what the * is it people want?

    There's people who genuinely believe that Celtic should win the treble every year,especially since hun fc died.

    It would then become a bigger bore than it already is.

    We can only beat what's put in front of us.

    Not our fault that the dead club cheated their way to trophies for many years and then went bust as a result of it.

    Lennon has under achieved from blowing the title 2 years ago, the league cup last season and this season. He can't live on 1 european run we're on course for a points total that woundn't have been enough to win the title for the past 5/6 years.

    I can live with us losing, even good celtic teams over the years have failed to turn up in 1/2 games a season but it is the way in which we lose games under lennon that irritates me he has no plan B at the end of the day he is a poor manager.

    His CV apart from the scottish cup 2011 will soon be 2 titles handed on a plate to him.

    The performance on wed night was woefull and a joke from any celtic team, we shall see how many fans give him there full backing if we turn up on sat with another performance like wed night or the league cup semi!

    His team are big game bottlers!

    Give me that over Lennon's first season every single day of the week, i.e. A low league winning tally over an extremely high points total which fails to win us the league.

    As for the big game bottlers tag, I thought that particular myth was destroyed years ago........

    Big game "bottlers". Ridiculous statement to make. Thought that myth had been put to bed a long time ago. How come its only a big game when we lose? And let's be honest Motherwell this week and St Johnstone last hardly constitute "big games".

    So those European qualifiers weren't big? Or beating Spartak home and away? Barcelona? Not big games? Beating Rangers (RIP) to go top of the league after coming back from 15 behind? Not a big pressure game?

    It's ridiculous as it is spoiled. I think the fact that only TWO Celtic managers have ever done it shows just how difficult it actually is.

    I'm not disputing his cup record as to be brutally honest it's dire to date.

    But given the fact that we won many big games in the league last season, and that he successfully guided his team to win the single most important game they have faced to date - Helsingborgs - then the big game myth is exactly that - a myth.

    That's without even mentioning the Moscow games, and Barcelona at home. In terms of Celtic, winning games like that are as massive as it gets.

    In relation to your point about us being handed the league on a plate - we clawed back 15 points last season before administration was even openly talked about, ergo we were handed * all. A "True Tim" shouldn't be repeating empty rhetoric used by zombies and huns.

    Huns in the cup final never turned up ICT to blow the title the same season the next season Sion, killie final, hearts semi and blowing the chance to win the title at ibrox against a mediocre patched up huns side. This season we have played the exact same in all those let downs by not even being in the game, failing to turn up against st mirren in the semi. So in my opinion he should consider his position if we turn in another performance like that on sat.

    Would that be big games like Barca, spartak away, Helsinki, Helsingborg, and the numerous horsings we gave the huns? Those big games?

    You just sound like a spoiled fan that has gorged on success since the turn of the millenium.

    The points we got last season would not of won us the league the year before, he's not won a title when the pressure of the run in has been there hense big game bottlers. As for our euro record it's been nothing short of amazing but I don't think it takes a good manager to get players up for champions league games it's our bread and butter domestically that he fails at

    Nope far from it, I can accept getting beat at times it happens in football it's the performances that are very hard to take. The players don't look interested in these games and lenny looks lost what to do next
