    Brown was part of the Treble Treble as was Ntcham.

    And no one is deflecting blame from anyone.

    According to you the whole lot of them need to go.

    Meaningless in terms of where we were in this group and this campaign. But poignant in terms of proof that words from Broony, Calmac, RC etc are worthless. If Lenny went to them boys after the hibs game and told them their performance is going to loose/save his job and he needed them the fight to the death for him and they went ahead and played like that tonight then that tells the story.
    The story is is the manager has probably lost a few in the dressing room, and the rest can't be * arsed to show the grit we need. A game that was meaningless in terms of competition could have been the platform for big characters to show what they're made of but they let Lenny down. He also hasn't helped himself by sticking with players that are consistently inconsistent and systems that don't work.

    All in all, a defeat that wasn't unexpected. A performance that was unfortunately expected and a near certain future of grim continuity.

    But that said, I'll keep watching, loving, living, breathing Celtic. My worries and opinions based on what I'm currently watching are mine and are valid. No * pundit, former player or journo will stop me from criticising the excuse for a team (including manager and coaching team).

    Time for change. By the way, been on this forum longer than some have been alive, experienced the 90s and felt the pain, so don't chime in with the "spoilt rotten" * ive been hearing.

    It's not like we supporters expect the team to storm the Champions league. Just compete, give your all and don't be embarrassed. That shouldn't be too much to ask given the money we spend. Teams with far less resources do far better than ourselves nearly every season whilst we are regularly beaten by supposedly inferior sides and seem to suffer at least one humiliation every campaign.

    How many games do we have to lose/drop points in for a change to happen.This is getting beyond ridiculous now.

    And according to your post,Lennon is to blame but the players aint? But so many want Brown removed from the planet along with Ntcham.

    its not that mate , trying to be a half arsed arbitrator , lennys tactics had the team up 1-0 , away from home , all you have to do is play basic football . the * players didnt! broonie * up, ajer * up ,christie , cant put a simple * ball in from set pieces, callum didnt want to mess his hair up! yes lenny probably has to go , but hold these * imposters responsible, the irony is , we need players on the pitch that gave all , like lenny as a player

    Brown is done. His legs have gone and it’s blatantly obvious. Ntcham has been like this for 3 seasons, even when Rodgers was in charge. He has one good game every other month.

    I wouldn’t have been fussed if they left/retired last summer.

    Your point makes no sense. There’s players in that squad who shouldn’t be here, regardless of who is in charge. But suggesting we get rid of our best talents because they’re underperforming this season, when an utter diddy is in the dugout, is * madness.

    Any competent manager would have them firing.

    Agreed, think this whole bin the lot of them idea is ridiculous. I actually think we have a good squad of players but they're not being coached to get the best out of them, they look disjointed.

    The huns will beat us by 5 or 6 if it didn’t hurt to say that so much I’d put a wedge on it

    If were going to say * last season or the season before and judge Lennon on the present- then on present form- Ajer a few games aside but mcgregor and Eddy have been utter pish this season and should at least be dropped on their poor performances only problem everyone else has been pish aswell so it’s more who you drop them for and on their current performance and attitude s can see why certain fans would be glad to get them to * along with Lennon

    Incomprehensible. The 90’s were obvious, make no mistake it was * obvious what the issues were then.

    This though, the money spent, the wages, the progression of the past years... * invincibles, Desso pitch, Hotel and Euro disco lights to shipping 21 goals in 9 games with a team of champions.

    If these were all * players I’d understand and accept that even the worlds greatest managers couldn’t turn us around but there is one thing I do believe - the players are all capable but the manager is not.

    I give not one * jot if the board back Lennon, they are business men not footballing men.

    It’s about time we bring in a proper DoF and infrastructure similar to an Ajax or Salzburg and spend the money on a top coach that develops well scouted youth and promotes youth from within.

    This gangrenous limb needs severed before it festers any further.

    Proper footballing decisions and excellence need applied and applied now and if Lawwell can’t execute that he can * off anaw.

    An aggregate of 8-2 against a top European side like Barca or Real Madrid etc would be embarrassing. We've lost that aggregate against Sparta Prague. A team in turmoil themselves. Not acceptable, and Lennon should be gone before the morning papers.

    For those saying blame the players. Lennon's been given a fortune to bring his own players here. If he didn't think he had the right types then he should have spent that money more wisely instead of spunking it on guys he never plays.
