    No chance is that "hun mentality", it's just not being needlessly pedantic. It's like saying "it's not over yet!" when 6-0 up in the 85th minute.

    We have indeed been a bit better defensively, but overall nothing has improved in terms of quality on the pitch (bar against Aberdeen the last game).

    Lennon has always been more of a motivator than a tactical manager for me, and it doesn't appear that he is capable of getting the most out of this group of players, despite the fact they are by FAR the best group of players in the country.

    He isn't good enough to be permanent manager here next season, and I'll be really unhappy if it is he.

    If I'm honest, I don't care if Neil's feelings are hurt, I don't care if his supporters feelings are hurt I just want one thing..and that is TEN in a row at all costs.

    Get him out and get the right man in.

    Hope people are waking up to the reality he is the wrong person for this job

    Hope we lose the cup final so he doesn’t get the job.

    Celtic have lost 4 games this season. None of those were under Lennon. You want to pick a random run of those games including the losses. Just for balance wee man :56:

    Unbeaten with victories at Easter Road, Tynecastle and Hampden. Beat Sevco at home. Has one game left to complete a treble far from certain when the rat left us in the lurch. Steadied the ship at a very difficult time for the players and fans. To be so betrayed. He has done well and those who don't want him are offering little on why? We have been bang average all season. Lennon is on the verge of completing his remit and completing it unbeaten under his tenure if we avoid defeat in the last 5 games. Not bad for the wrong man.

    Funny thing is I’ve always thought his biggest strength was tactically and adapting. Weird how people can watch the same thing and see things differently.

    The other worrying thing is that Kennedy is also a major part of this, and he spent so long working under Rodgers.

    Now, if Rodgers was deemed successful, then Kennedy should have learned all of his traits , and if Lennon (acording to him) was going to be "leaning heavily" on Kennedy's experience of the successes of the last few seasons, then that's frightening too.

    Sick and tired of watching dull fitba that leaves us incapable of breaking down mediocre defences who sit tight. * sick of it!

    The board have a right * decent wedge of money sitting there to recruit a right good * manager capable of producing good fitba, they better not * about and leave us with someone who is just......awright.

    I'm * disgusted to have cut our lead over der Sevco twice now in recent weeks to only 9 points.

    I can't understand any Celtic fan that would want us to lose the cup final just so Lennon doesn't get the job. Going by his recent tenure, we all know he is not the man for the job. I have heard people backing him saying, this isn;t his players & he is doing his best. I'm sure the new Hibs manager is in the same position & they looked better than us today.

    Well, if you saw that in his previous tenure, then you're certainly not seeing it this time around.....so far.

    oh and Celtic have lost 4 games this season...all under Rodgers, but lets not mention that. A lot of selective memories and re-writing of history going on here with Celtic fans.

    He has come in at awkward time, no doubt.. but if he gets the job we won’t have that boost a new manager gives you.

    It’s almost just as much a risk giving him the job..
