    The Dubai debacle is a no win situation. Despite misgivings against Lennon and the club previously, they will never sway the public opinion that it was the correct to go. There's no point in whataboutery. It was stupid.

    The Club, the brand and image are being tarnished here. Contrition was needed. Lennons outburst today is national news for the wrong reasons. We're now arguing with the Government all the whilst we slip further behind in the league, Calmac taken sly digs at the tactics again and all the other negativity. Can't believe it, but Lawell looked sincere compared to today's ramblings.

    Lennon may feel aggrieved, but he is in a highly privileged position and should have kept his own opinions to himself in regards to Dubai. Its served no purpose but to give ammo to the very scum that have hounded the club and lennon himself over the years. The club were always on a hiding to nothing over this trip. Shut up and apologise, lie low and it'll go quicker.

    All he's done is create further embarrassment for the club, fans who he's meant to love. I thought he would eventually come back and manage at mid/low level SPFL side, but after today. Hes a liability. He looks like a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders.

    But he may have done a small favour in the long run. Going against the club/brand image when 6 weeks away from ST renewals, DD won't have that. That will affect the money. Simply not on.

    But it has to end. Make it now DD.

    You do realise they’re at entirely different times of the year?

    Honestly the mental gymnastics on display in this thread is astonishing.

    But we have put ourselves in a position to be shot at with going to Dubai. Nobody can say for definite what would have happened if we stayed at home

    Eid was portrayed from the beginning as a superspreader event that had to be cracked down on. Images of covid spread were illustrated by pictures of people in Burkhas. There was a whole policy operation to 'save Christmas' by contrast - it's the utilisation of one to create a moral panic over covid compliance that I am talking about, nothing to do with the ritual calendar!

    I just did. Sturgeon needs a diversion - she did the same things wrong as Johnson and turned care homes into killing grounds. She can unite a decent proportion of 'decent' Scottish opinion by demonising Celtic - hence something would have been found.

    You’re spending too much time in the wrong places, or with the wrong people, if you saw Eid being held up as a super spreader event with women in burkas used as propaganda.

    Don't lawwell and Lennon * speak to each other and lawwell knew he was doing a press conference today and say to Lennon any Dubai questions just say Peter said what he had to say for the club .
    So lawwell seeing that today must be livid but it should have been sorted before Lennon went in front of the media today and a pure * shambles .

    A 'jolly' is exactly what it was. They had dispensation to travel to the UAE to train, not to sit poolside at a luxury hotel, drinking alcohol and socialising.

    Context matters greatly. In previous years, supporters, and the wider public, would naturally have paid little attention to football players enjoying a midseason holiday, but soaking up the sun with a margarita in hand during the worst public health crisis in a century, while other people are legally forbidden to leave their homes, is conspicuous behaviour; some might argue that it is reprehensible.
