    Keeping it indoors are not, those players need a kick up the hole. Theyre playing for Celtic.Not * Wrexham.
     

  2. nonsense. this isn't football manager mate. lennon is liked and respected by the fans- because he's honest and tells it like it is and doesn't bull-*. if he stops that, i believe he will lose respect.

    I don't really see how your point is valid there, theres always pressure in a derby match and we won that 2-1 after that. After the ross county game it wasn't about winning the league, it was about the teams performace improving drastically on what it already was, I would say thats pressure on the team to win wouldn't you?

    Alex Ferguson does and has publicy slated his teams for there performances. After winning the cup with Aberdeen he slated the whole team with the exception of two players.

  5. no he won't. as i said, this isn't football manager. if the players don't know that the performance was below standard today then they shouldn't be at the club, they'll know- and understand the manager is just telling it the way it is.

    Glad he came out and said what he did, to be honest. Would have been raging if he came out and sugar coated things. Didn't have a problem with what he said whatsoever.

    "They get the opportunity to play and they fail. And they keep failing. If you keep failing you are not going to win games.

    so why does he keep playing samaras i really don't know but obviously samaras diden't play in this game so he does not get the blame for this mess, team was * diabolically *.

    Managers have to try and remain diplomatic, the players themselves must acknowledge they were poor.

    If Lennon had called out an individual player in public then yes I would say it is not a good idea. But he was getting after the team in general and especially midfielders and attackers so I have no problem especially given you know he probably had plenty to say in the dressing room after the final whistle. Not like he went behind anyones back.

    Ffs those same players cheated us with that display and ur worried about their feelings !! The lack of pride passion heart skill was never more apparent than after that performance , we may have a better squad than the huns but the sad truth is they are fighting for every pt and thats the difference between winners and also rans , a few years ago we would have found a way to get something from that game be it through sheer will or a bit o magic from a quality player right now we have neither imo !!

    dont see what lennon said wrong in that interview tbh!!

    hes right to blame the front six,at home to st johnstone and not scoring,not just that but the effort they put in really reminded me of watching the inverness game last year!!
    simply not good enough and maybe it is a good thing its so early in the season when he has time to do something about it!

    just hope it isnt one of the games we look back on at the end of the season saying what if? i.e samaras ibrox penalty etc

    i still believe we have the best squad in the spl and we will win the league,lenny deserves it,not sure about the players but we as fans deserve it too and ill follow them to the end of the year regardless

    mon the hoops:celt_2:

Against St Johnstone.....St * Johnstone. AT HOME.Cillian Sheridan! AW man. Im angry with this shower.If this was a once off I wouldnt be so annoyed.But Sion?My heads wrecked.If we go out to Sion on Thursday I aint gonna be happy.Period.

    I don't think he said anything that he should've kept behind doors.
    The bhoys were * today, and he has every right to say what he said. Imagine the spray they're gettin behind closed doors.
    Lenny's no muppet - he knows when to back em and when to whack em.
    He's not going to "lose" them for being honest, and if anyone got their egos bruised with what he said, they shouldn't be wearing the hoops.

    They didn't score against St Johnstone.
    We missed another penalty!:31:
    St Johnstone haven't scored ONE goal until today.
    They got booed off their home ground.
    They unfortunately got what they deserved today.

    Tomorrow is another day however - bring on those holed cheese eating * and let's get this train back on the rails! :50:

    Hail Hail!
