    Explain how that is ridiculous? Body language is a big indicator of attitude a area which has been researched a lot, I have sat near the dugout whole time Lennon has been assistant manager and manager and have seen a change and many other fans I speak to have.

    I would learn :50:

    Anyway, a hypothetical for another day. But I do believe it.

    This season we were 1/40 to win the league and it had zero to do with the manager and everything to do with the fact that we could buy and sell any squad in the SPL, most many times over. That isn't anything to do with Lennon of course, but finances have made it all but impossible for anyone to win the league except celtic, regardless of manager. Winning the league and nothing else this season is a very poor return. And I still believe, we are a team going backwards.

    Really? Anytime I hear him talk about the Glazers he was always lauding them and saying they were the best men for the job, have Man United's interest at heart and what not.

    He was very much a yes man in the end. Worked wonders with average.

    Lennons biggest problem is inconsistency and complacency but when you know your job is secure no matter then that is bound to happen. Lennon wont go, not while he still has the chance to make history with ten in a row being a massive possibility. The only way lennon wil be gone is if he doesnt win a title.

    Lennon appears to be taking the total flak here for today's result, which is * garbage tbh.

    Only tactic he got wrong (imo) was the zonal marking - but we've won enough matches this year with it, so that on it's own shouldn't be enough to lose us the match, considering it was only one goal we lost through ZM.

    Sammy was hooked at the 60min mark - a good decision seeing as he was pish, set up a goal so justifies his selection in the first place.

    Izzy not doing enough? Nah, totally disagree with you there. He's been failr consistent this season and an important figure in the team.

    In what way were we not playing to the player's strengths today?

    Lennon is on a rolling year-to-year contract.

    Aye, well guess what, I read body language continually throughout my job. I'm no specialist, but I've a good idea.

    There's many things that can be said about Lennon, but lack of passion? Nah.........not in the * slightest.

    I'll stick by Lennon if he is prepared to start planning for the future as far as the whole squad is concerned (by rotating the team and starting to give some playing time to youngsters) rather than just continue with his usual 9-10 guys between now and the end of the season.

    And year to year barring a catastrophe in the league his contract will be renewed.

    I thought I misread that. He is having his best season with us and is, I think, still our top creative outlet in terms of assists.

    So what? Asking for more money to replace a striker will get him fired? His comments about the GB, despite them supporting him through his troubled times? The champions league was "just a bit of fun"?

    He's a panderer to Lawwell by all accounts

    Probably, but in no way (on paper) is his job "secure".

    Same person that was shouting "Irish *" at Lennon was singing the Fields. Some people really are thick.

    Matthews was deemed fit - I'd have him over Darnell Fisher any day of the week.

    Samaras set up the goal. Was rightly hooked early in the game after he failed to produce anything further.

    Whether or not I personally thought one or both should have started is irrelevant.
