Deevers Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 BBC Radio Scoland have a phone in on the go just now about it. The apologists for Lennon phoning in are hilarious. We’ve even had the old chestnut of the conspiracy against them because of religion. Truly no blame and no shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd want Budge to come out and publicly invite Lennon to sook her plooms. "we don't comment on other clubs, but honest, we do do the covid stuff... sniffle" Is that OK with you, sir, Mr Lawwell, sir?. Aye, Les, you can stay on the board. Don't comment on other clubs. Les Gray was all over us last season. Prick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkierobroy Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Paid a wee visit to Kerrydal Street - the forum for Celtic supporters who have at least a passing acquantance with basic hygiene and literacy standards. A few of them are moaning about the ScoGov and (in desperation) the photo The Herald used to accompany the story of Lennon's deranged press conference. APparently it was deliberately chosen 'to make him look bad'. I'm not sure how you'd go about picking a photie to make Lennon look good, but hey. Anyway, most of them aeem pretty embarrassed by t he whole thing and just want Lennon and Liewell to go. Here's an example: Quote The government may wall have shifted the goalposts, but they were shifted in a game we never should have been playing anyway. I am so utterly sick and tired of it. Was there no risk analysis completed on this trip? If you sat down and did a failure mode and effects analysis on this trip, what happened would have been a pretty low score on the effects (in relative terms). One player caught it. The lowest number that could catch it. Did we not contemplate that things could change? In a world when things have been changes from anywhere as often as every week to every hour? Did we not think that sticking a full squad on a metal tube and flying them 8 hours to a different country increases the risk? That he signed off on this trip should be a sackable offence (without even starting on the board). His admission of it being him pushing for it should be him falling on his sword. Of course, this chap and his pals will probably not reflect the attitudes of the more typical underthinking Selick supporters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bull's-eye Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 So, the story didn't go away as expected, the media have grown some balls. The Celtic PR machine is now in full go mode. . . . . . "The only way out of this Shit show is to find a scapegoat with the brain the size of a Pea who'll not even realise we're stabbing him between the eyes, anyone at the club fit the Bill?" Deflection, deflection culminating in Lennon being shown the door and this sorry episode being forgotten as he leaves the building. Putrid, vile institution.

Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 If the Celtic fans had anything about them, they’d have seen the complacency in the full time appointment of Lennon. The club evidently thought ‘we’re so far ahead that it really doesn’t matter who’s manager.’ They were in a position to dominate Rangers forever because Gerrard would not have carried on after another second placed finish and every season of failure for rangers would have diminished their recruitment potential and spending power. As it is, Celtic will need a mega summer to level things out again (although I sense that Gerrard will leave for an English club) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are hardly going to stay 2m away from each other on the pitch Exactly. Heard an English footballer talking about the arguments against celebrations and he was talking about corners and the jostling that goes on there x10-15 times at least a game. He reckoned if you add up the proximity there, players are in contact with each other for about 10 minutes a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, reminded me of Kevin Keegan all those years ago... meltdown-wise. Makes me wonder if something triggered his ire shortly before the presser or if it was premeditated and had been festering since his return from Dubai. If it's the latter, he needs help. Part of me has been thinking he, perhaps, met with liewell prior to the presser, was advised he's to be emptied and then told to go out and do his worst!

Yeah as I said yesterday if you suffer from this it’s advised you don’t have a high pressure and stressful job. Isolation would only make the situation worse, especially as this crisis grew and the criticism flew in. You would think someone at the club might’ve predicted this, or did and saw it as a way to get rid of him citing his health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought a lot of the negativity that surrounds this guy was just assumption.
