    The oldco Huns were still in full function when we beat them in December 2012 to go top. Bit harsh to use that particular point against him.

    What * agenda ya clown, Fickle? :56: I supported Celtic through the huns 9 in a row so don't give me that nonsense...

    I expect us to compete in Europe and not get beaten by Morton and aberdeen and the other * he has bottled it against..

    I expect a plan B not just chucking on that imposter Balde...

    One good run in Europe and his job is safe:97: and I am the clown..

    I like lennons attitude as a manager and the hunger he brings and am a greater fan of him as a manager than as a player. I was impressed by him the past couple of seasons but am dissapointed this season. Buys new players, hardley ever plays them, never seems to shake the team up a bit with the same players playing every week, tactics are awful with loads and loads of crosses into stokes/pukki/commons which is pointless and useless, yet a big guy like Balde sits on the bench.

    However the budget he is getting for players is a disgrace, and he has given us various memorable moments. Im undecided.

    They may not be world class opposition but they are better than us. Remember we are a 4th seed club and we finished in 4th position. The harsh reality of it is that we were well out of our depth in that group.

    Just qualifying for the CL is a tough task for us nowadays. You saw how we struggled against stuffy sides like Elfsborg and Shakhtar. If we qualify for the CL group stages for the third time in a row then it would be a magnificent achievement. Anything else we do in the groups is a bonus.

    Chucking on Balde with 3 seconds left to go, has now replaced chuck on McCourt with 3 seconds to go.

    Unfair on Balde/McCourt & reflects on him as being tactically inept. Again, also today, Commons off for Boerrighter, while a mystery to everyone Forrest remains on the pitch.

    Im tired of seeing us fight over these uninspired defeats. Clearly its not Lennon thats to blame for many. Its ok that Rangers are now through ahead of us with a chance to win the cup at our stadium.

    Lennon * up today. I for one am 50 50. Tired of no youth coming through and tired of * Sammy getting picked when clearly he does hee * haw.

    Thats two * in one paragraph.

    Should he go, no not yet for me. He should however sort his * out for the CL qualifiers....because if we get found out tactically there, all * will break loose.

    D - Lenny, D * minus.

    exactly mate, there is absolutely no plan B. In fairness against the opposition we face there shouldn't really be a need for one...

    Half of the team seemingly lacking motivation and keeping impostors like Samaras on when he clearly isn't interested is entirely Lennons fault.

    By stuffy do you mean absolutely pish? He was lucky not to make a balls of the Karagandy tie. Qualifying for the CL is the absolute minimum. It doesn't take Mourinho to see of the Reds, Karagandy and Elfsborg. Our showing in the group was embarrassing however you try and dress it up.

    He isn't learning from his mistakes, he continually plays his favourites and his tactics can be baffling. One cup in three years nowhere near good enough.

    I appreciate he has been through a lot but from a footballing perspective he has to go. Some people just can't see any fault in him at all. The good of Celtic has to come before any sentimental pish.

    Nonetheless they had a full squad who up till that point of the season were fairing quite well and were more than capable of winning the league had they not had a few hiccups before coming to Celtic Park that December. Money issues aside they still had a good team up until February when administration hit them and the subsequent points deduction.

    Credit has to go to Lennon and the players for the run they went on to close that gap and put us in the position of overtaking them in that game.

    I voted Yes and it pained me to do so. Love Lennon but this early Cup exit is one too many for me.

    Some of us have higher expectations though....you must be another one who thinks the CL is "just a bit of fun"

    I agree about Samaras but it isn't really Lenny's fault he wasn't punted in January.

    By stuffy I mean awkward as *. Absolutely * football teams but awkward in their tactics and application.

    Your right it was embarrassing in the group stages but many people saw it coming. We were the 4th seed in the group and it was obvious to see by performances on the pitch.

    He has won 2 Scottish cups in 3 years not one.
