Danny 0 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I found it actually ridiculous that Lennon is up for MOTY. They're rewarding the most ill-mannered foul-behaving man to manage either side of the OF in both's history. As much as I've disliked previous Celtic managers, of course, none have ever behaved even remotely as disgustingly as Lennon has. Yet he's getting a reward for it - for being gifted the league thanks to Craig Whyte. Incred-deeble. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were coasting by October but he turned that around before the worst of our financial mess started to really bite. Doesn't excuse his snarling bullying bigoted ginger teeth though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue that he didn't turn it around.....we lost it. All Lemmon had to do was keep an even keel while we crumbled. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 This "crumbling" is a myth. We had a fantastic run followed by a mediocre run - pretty normal and worked out about average for a season where we either win the league or come close. They had a mediocre run followed by a fantastic run which evened things up. They overtook us by a few points but if we hadn't gone into administration there is all probability we'd have made that ground back up following the end of their good run. Just after administration we lost 9 points in 4 games when even during a mediocre run you wouldn't expect us to lose more than about three. Admin also lost us our best player with our previous best player injured for the season. If you give us 16 points back we'd be two points behind with an OF game to go. That's despite them having a much bigger and deeper squad, less crucial injuries, not selling their best striker and pressurising the referees into giving them quite a few advantageous decisions - and their players getting full pay. Looking at that, I can't see how Lennon's done all that well this season. At best he's been mediocre when you count the cups, Europe and our demise. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 PS People keep saying about we were on a downward spiral before administration - how do they know that would continue. After all we were in an upward spiral before the downward one - spirals obviously change direction. When a team has shown they can play consistently well, it's a bit strange to assume that a bad patch will never end. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 PPS I've had a look at the stats and noticed that between the 1-0 loss to Celtic and going into administration we won 4 and drew 1 out of the 5 games we played with 14 goals to 3. I would say that's an upward spiral or recovery of form. We then went on to lose 3 and win 1. After the wages have been sorted we've won 4 in a row. That 4 game form, post admin looks pretty much like a blip to me. Apart from that we had a bad 7 game run where we lost 11 points. In the 4 games post admin we lost 9 points. In the other 23 games we lost 4 points. I think that show two bad patches. One from lack of form - affected by the loss of Naismith and other players, the financial turmoil and Jelavic looking for a move. The other due to administration. Take away the financial turmoil and I believe we'd have been slightly above Celtic - despite the loss of Naismith, Jelavic and others, Ally not being able to bring the players he wanted and having a much smaller squad than Celtic. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 In this era of "transparency", I want to know how this short list was drawn up, and, if it was by all member Clubs voting, I want to know who voted for who.I would also like to see the voting details concerning the Player of the Year shortlist. It's the managers who vote for the PFA manager of the year, so straight away TLB is in with a good shout of winning it. My guess is that the following managers will have voted for Lennon and hence why he's on the shortlist: Danny Lennon Pat Fenlon Kenny Shiels Jackie McNamara Paul Hartley Yogi ?? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juancornetto 1 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 This is the clearest sign that the lunatics have taken over the asylum. Lennon is being rewarded for displaying behaviour that wouldn't be tolerated on the street let alone by any other football association in Europe. It sickens me what they are getting away with while we lie powerless to stop them. Seriously sickened by this news. And they want to preach to us about sporting integrity? Bunch of cnuts! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Just because catholics have influtrated the labour party dosen't mean to say that socialism in a bad thing. In fact, this country could do with more socialism as opposed to it being run, on every level by Oxbridge educated morons that are using the same technique they've always used, divide and conqueur. The fact that there are so many catholics in positions of power in this country weakens the claims of lemon that this country is instutionalised bigotry, but still lemon can claim that everything that happens in football is personally against him and against catholics more widely. Maybe we should point out to the journos that constantly highlight these inaccuracies and demand a better form of reporting as opposed to merely how bad Rangers fans are. Don't lose sight of the objective, which is certainly not the grandisement of the wealthy as it only leads to false claims that the difficulties for most peoples lives are shit because of bigotry. The catholic church is utilising this present world crisis to alienate everyone, except the imagined down trodden Irish catholic, and lemons spitting and screaming antics are a very useful tool, in terms of imagery to highlight that myth. I'm sure the new law didn't ban conversation about religion and I think we all should verse ourselves better in demanding of our politicians an end to seperate schooling on religious grounds. If the majority of the people in this country managed that, then you would here some squealing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
