The doomsday scenario of the huns getting 10pts deducted and still winning the league, is fast approaching. This would be a dark day indeed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I dont understand. They always claim we are crap. Yet they were supposedly brilliant last year playing with a swagger and free flowing football, yet still lost the league last year. I think they were crap last year, crap this year. No great surprises. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the penny finally dropping in the East End that their problems stem from and extend no further than the Irn Bru toothed wonder alone? If I was their Board thats the kind of judgement I would be making. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No great surprises. Don't agree that they were crap last year. They were pretty good, and pushed us extremely close. It was having Smith that gave us the eventual edge. Plus the side hitting primo form after the split. But this season they're absolutely dire. The difference between both seasons has been night and day. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. And long may it continue. And when Lennon goes, you can guarantee it'll be spun as him having been forced out by all of those other reasons and not the fact that he simply a manager with numerous failings in his career so far. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would buy us some time to find a successor whilst having a safe pair of hands at the wheel meantime. If it was clearly understood that it was purely until the end of the season I think MON would do it. cfc88 27 minutes ago Post #362 Member Avatar Retired and now a Setanta pundit Group: Snr. Member Favourite all-time player Henrik Larsson No fight. No determination. No drive. No fecking creativity. Nothing. Joe Ledley's started out wide again. Subs left till the 70th minute. No change beforehand other than switching Ki and Ledley about constantly. Leaving Kayal, Ki, Wilson and Hooper all on for 70 minutes at least, when it was clear from 20 minutes in none of them were kicking their own arse. Moving Matthews despite him playing well at right back. Someone said it a few days ago with Lennon, he does all he can to fit the better players in his team, and forces a lot of them to play positions they cant. Joe Ledley is a centre mid. Adam Matthews is a right back. Ki is a centre mid. Just because moving Scott Brown out wide worked quite well doesnt mean any centre mid can play out wide. I love Neil Lennon, he would run through a brick wall for Celtic and is Celtic to the core. I'm beginning to seriously doubt whether he can take us forward though. Today was up there with some of the worst Strachan performances in years 3 and 4. 1 clearcut chance all game. I've been having doubts about McCourt for months, but he is a luxury player now, bring him on when the games won, not when we need a goal. Since his performance at Ibrox, he hasnt kicked a ball for us. He lost the ball almost every time he got the ball today, yet the fans who lambasted every other player barely uttered a word. Not blaming him at all for that today but his times pretty much up, unless he's happy sitting on a bench or in the stand the majority of the time. I just dont understand what can happen in 3 days that goes from pumping a team with our best performance of the season, to playing against the same team and being utterly inept with probably our worst. More importantly, what the eff happened between last season and this season. Izaguirre and Brown would make a difference, but not enough to suddenly go back to the form of the 3-0 Rangers game or the 2-2, or the 3-0 at Tynecastle. Extremely worrying and disheartening today, and the only players who werent very poor were Forster and Forrest. And even Forrest didnt do very much, but at least he never stopped trying and came very close for us. mick405 25 minutes ago Post #365 Member Avatar ...don't hate nothing at all except hatred...

Member Truly awful performance from a team that looks bereft of confidence and ability. No movement up front and poor performances from too many players. We wont win the league even with the huns going into admin. I don't think we even had a corner in the entire match. Jungle_G 12 minutes ago Post #401 Member Avatar Club Captain Group: Snr. Member If we're being honest we chucked away this league in the summer when we failed abysmally to improve a team whose collective defining feature was potential, and, being brutally honest, who choked badly when attempting to cross the line. With that as your starting point - promising as some of our young players are - adding a few SSM signings and banging on endlessly about how shampooe the 3IAR huns were was never in a million years a recipe for progress and after some bad luck on the injury front, we're seeing the inevitable unfold. Some may find solace in the prospect of having the taxman hand us a title by default, I ain't one. pedrok 11 minutes ago Post #404 Member Avatar First name on the team-sheet Group: Members Just so...so fed up with it. There was nothing today that gave me any hope, even the slightest bit of hope, that anything will turn this season around. At the moment we are as near to Aberdeen who are third bottom as we are to Rangers at the top. I am thinking whether we will catch Motherwell for second place never mind win a league, that has gone now, and the clocks have not even went back, depressing stuff. As for the manager, never have I wanted a man to win a league title than I did for Lennon to win it, but it isn't to be and he should take the honourable decision and walk away with his dignity. Go before his memory is competely tarnished. Just fed up with it. steveanderson11 9 minutes ago Post #407 Member Avatar First name on the team-sheet Group: Members Truly woeful hibs side. 4 halfs of football inside a few days and we can only beat them in one of them.

Member 12 points behind Rangers, 4 points in front of st johnstone in 3rd place. we could be 1 point in front of st johnstone in 4th place next sunday. topgoalscorers in the league are as follows: Player Team TOT 1. Naismith Rangers 9 2. Jelavic Rangers 7 3. O'Connor Hibernian 7 4. Daly Dundee Utd 6 5. Heffernan Kilmarnock 6 Yet we all bang on about how we need the defence sorted. Hooper hasnt kicked his arse since February.He had his honeymoon period, and for some reason gets far less abuse than Scott McDonald got, but is not as good a forward. We also gave a new 3 year contract to a dud, and we signed another dud for a reputed 2m. We have one forward at the moment, if he is off his game, we are fecked. Today we've heard the manager coming out with some statements that sounded like Advocaat when he lost the plot, blaming his players in public, as did Mowbray. I think the end is nigh for Lenny, but we need to disassociate ourselves from Neil Lennon the player, and the man - there have been better celtic men who have left us as manager, because the club is always more important. Thats the harsh fact, ignoring the emotion. If there is an opportunity for Lenny to go to Leicester, he should jump at it, IF as appears the case he cannot turn this around. It will allow him to build the experience he needs, out of the crazy spitlight of celtic park. We need to get in an experienced manager. And the CEO needs to take a significant change in his duties, and become a CEO again, and give football management back to football people, if they cannot afford to sack him.

Back in the days when the big names were being paid by EBTs how far were they ahead of us at this stage? Says it all. mmhughes 5 minutes ago Post #428 Member Avatar Occasional Substitute Group: Members Sorry, this is the game when I finally have to say Lennon has to go. It's annoying because you know some of the bigots will get a kick from it but, at the end of the day, Celtic is the most important thing. There are players there who don't have a clue what system they are playing and have given up themselves. We need to go for an experienced manager now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
