    Keevins is a total * but it doesn't mean he's got this wrong.
    I've got a bad feeling about how things are working out for lenny this season. Don't know why but it really is starting to look like hes struggling to keep control of the dressing room.
    If the story about kayal is true then he is no better than tevez and should be told to * off. Dont think the problems end with him though.

    When you aren't performing as well as you should be there is always going to be unrest in the camp.

    What I will say, though, is to suggest there are splits in the camp created by fabricated nonsense such as Lennon and Thommo having a drink problem is utter, utter, utter nonsense.

    TBF, I don't think anyone believes that is the case.

    You would be naive then.

    The Kayal 'story' as well, I heard just about every piece of crap rumour in the pub last night to the point I thought folk were taking the *.

    When we're not doing well you always get people looking for answers but there's no mileage in the massive divisions in the camp rumour whatsoever.

    Maybe.

    As I said before I am inclined to believe the Kayal one, I'm not just ignoring that one and passing it off as bullshit or made up by huns.

    No names in the article. An article written by a scottish hack and published in a scottish rag...

    Step forward scottish media - huns to the core!

    Seriously, this and every other 'article' in printed media in scotland is to be widely ignored by all of a Celtic persuasion!

    Normally I would agree but I've heard the Kayal thing for the past week from different people and it seems quite strange they way he was declared unfit then fit again within a day.

    I'm starting to wonder if us having such a large squad is starting to work against us ?
    Instead of it making players wanting to fight harder for their position, it's turning them into huffy weans if they don't get picked, and has them looking at each other and questioning why some are getting payed more than themselves ?
    Might be a daft theory, but there is definitely something not quite right.

    Why is it that we always have to bring in these mercenaries? For the past few years we've had some excellent youth teams, and few of them ever seem to be given a real chance of playing for the first team. The only way to rebuild the true Celtic spirit is to implement a policy where we give our own juniors a genuine long term opportunity to play for the team they love. I realise that we'd have to bring in supplementary players who can provide the strengths we're lacking in, but I'd much rather see us play players who care for the jersey, and who care about the club. Our performances this year have been sickening. It's as though the players who are coming in are only regarding out great club as a stepping stone to the EPL. Look at Barcelona's academy, the players who come out of that set up and play for their first team. We have to have the managers and coaching staff who'll foster talent with an eye on the future. One of the worst things that could've happened to us was the eradication of the Reserves. The lack of fight, the lack of passion, in this current mob is an embarrassment.

    The thing is Thommo has been done for drink driving. Hardly a good defense for not having some sort of alcohol issue is it?

    Kayal does not want a move. The guy is always egging the crowd on and loves playing for the club.

    Hun rumours at its worst. Can't understand why some folk believe it because he didn't feature against Hearts. The guy has had thigh and hamstring problems for ages.

    Keevins is a carrot loving * anyway.

    From my experience I'd guess about 90% of all drivers have either drove drunk or still over the limit the next day.

    Hardly a drinking problem.

    I don't want to reveal my sources but i have it on great authority from high up that kayal is out of favour because Scott brown wanted to get a rangers tatoo on his thigh and obviously couldn't go to a normal tattoo parlor or the story would get out so kayal done the tatoo and lennon found out. So they have had to fabricate browns injury as keeping him out for 12 weeks when he will sign a pre contract with rangers and we will be forced to let him go for a few hundred grand. Kayal is to be charged with doing an unlicensed tattoo and will prob receive 6 months jail time.

    I'm not sure if he's got an issue or not.

    I think it's common knowledge that Thommo likes a drink, but then again don't we all.

    If he was acting in an unprofessional manner due to any alcohol issue, or otherwise, then he wouldn't be at the club as it quite simply wouldn't be tolerated.

    Really? Where did you get your statistics for that? :rolleyes:

    It may not mean he has a problem, then again it may point to one. I believe it's just a bit of evidence to suggest that his judgement isn't the best when it comes to the demon drink.

    Perhaps Tommy bhoy could give us the benefit of his experience and furnish us with the statistics showing the links between those who commit a drink driving offense and subsequently admit to drinking problems, or seek help?

    Ultimately I'm not here to slate the man. Far from it. Honestly. I just feel if there is any truth in these rumours then a story and incident like that doesn't help to dispel them does it?

    You're either deluded and living with Dee Dee from Limmy's Show, or you're a comic genius.

    At the minute I can't decide which :56:
