    Just listened to his after match interview. Said we were great for 35 minutes!

    Guess he must be counting all the minutes this season.

    He also said he is scratching his head - well I guess that pretty much explains why we are where we are. He has no answers only questions.

    The board can hide now but when they come looking for season ticket money next year I think they are in for a bit of a shock.

    Lennon cant see the problem and it seems neither can the board. Not only wont we win the league this season I dont think we will win any cups.. only the cup from last season.

    Team are lacking confidence says Neil.. aye , same as the entire support, nobody has confidence in you anymore.

    Also he showed no anger or emotion until a journalist hinted at him not calling ",an end to it "

    I really need to stop listening to his post match interviews... I only woke up to check online and see if he had walked..
    4 hours kip staying up to watch this * and Lenny telling me what a good performance it was.

    I'm away back to my bed.. until June

    hes got to know the players arent playing for him although we were much much better 2nd half

    thats maybe whats confusing him when you see reactions from the team at times

    i dont know what happened this season could be and probably is a combination of factors

    but how many games now do we keep giving him when we cant afford to drop anymore points or lose anymore games

    with all the talk about players being tapped by big clubs i wouldnt be suprised if wages were getting talked about and players noses got put out of joint, i think theres massive differences between some players wages and others

    2 options, keep Lenny and get even worse or at least attempt to do something to change things, give the players and the club a boost by bringing in a new manager and hope for a positive reaction, either that or continue in the slump we're in, limping on from game to game with a dark cloud hanging over the club.

    True but don't think they'll be as clinical as Prague. Could actually see us winning it 3-2 or similar. To be honest that's another worry. An empty CP seems to be adversely affecting us and other sides seem to get a lift from it. You're not as confident about home games anymore. I know it's the same for everyone but our lot just don't seem to be able to lift themselves and seem to totally capitulate with the slighest sign of pressure.

    I guarantee you the board are watching the support's reaction. All that tweet tells us (if he is reliable like you say) is that the board would prefer to give Lenny time. But I've never seen such anger from fans in a long time. At the moment, it's mostly directed towards Lenny. If it turns to the board, they'll change their tune sharpish. We've seen it before.

    I'm pretty sure they'll be watching our reaction online.

    Lenny ain't quiting.
    Board ain't sacking him .
    Suck it up cuntos - 10IAR down the * drain.
    Soon we will be struggling to make Europa league group stages .

    Edit : if crowds were allowed into games and we were getting these results - hmmm . Say no more.

    Tell ya what prof ma man. If I was a self professed * like mr Desmond says he is...with £3billion in the bank I'd be tempted to plough in a good few million in a one off attempt to create scottish football history and get as good a manager we can in the market. (After admitting I got it wrong with the cheap option as usual with Lennon, who just got sacked off hibs)

    This might not work out, but at least all of us as celtic fans can say I tried!

    Now its becoming too late, but blindly standing by Lennon isnt an option.

    He can see it, like we can, but is making out like there’s nothing wrong and that the fans are overreacting.

    Because he thinks we’re all clueless and he knows better than us all.

    For example when he stuck with the no striker tactic domestically after being slaughtered for it when we got * in the CL by Ferencvaros - trying to prove he was right and we’re wrong to question him.

    He’s a stubborn cun... man.

    Lennon is here until the end of the Season.
    The damage is done.
    No matter how many millions Desmond has - it ain't going to fix this mess.

    Exactly we have no chance of getting anyone decent it's delusional to think otherwise. No manager will come in and hit the ground running either so more points would be lost.

    The only option we have is to back NL and hope that our luck turns ASAP.

    Cant be many fans who honestly believe Lenny is still the man to take us forward myself included but with the run of what should be easy fixtures coming up he will get one last chance to turn things around , despite my doubts i hope he can take it !!

    Lenny is confusing teams sitting in a * us up the * on the break with celtic being great. Its not the same thing,we had the ball around their box for about 60 mins out of that game and 95% of the time the ball went back or sideways then back. We have very little threat up front anymore.

    I don't think that is the only option we have. Waiting in the hope that things might get better isn't a great strategy.

    Even if the league is lost I'd still rather give a new manager time to imprint his own style on the squad, rather than throwing them straight into European qualifiers.
