    Hard to blame the board for these results. We have far superior players to Kilmarnock and every other SPL team. We cannot justify the quality of our squad as a reason for losing any games in the SPL.

    Sorry Gunt but i don't do Cults ,as ive said above im going with Lennon for now cos i believe there are certain players not playing the game ,How Lennon handles this i don't know but he either kicks them into touch and gets a couple of reserve bhoys [if you like ] like the 2nd half today who did play for that jersey .

    The snatched draw is papering over the cracks. A point instead of the 3-0 pasting at HT will not be worth it if it means we just carry on as we are.

    The fact that we drew 3-3 does nothing but paper over the cracks, as everyone else has already said. I was as happy as any other Celtic supporter today when we completed the comeback, but once the euphoria died down and I remembered our shambolic first half, plus the defeats to Hearts, Rangers and St Johnstone, I realized that his time as Celtic manager may be coming to an end.

    I hope he resigns, as it would be a shame for him to be sacked, after putting his life on the line to continue managing the club he loves last season. The question is, who do we bring in as his replacement?

    Same group of players that should hve won the title last year.
    I think the blame lies with the players. Concentration and consistisy us lacking.

    The players have let the manager down big time.

    Sounds funny to say this now but I think were just a few players off being a really good team.

    If we don't win the league i think Lenny will walk away with dignity.

    All we can do in the meantime is back Lenny , is the least we can do after all he's been through.

    In my head he has to go but my heart says no we can somehow miraculously recover last seasons form.problem is although we are 9 behind there are still enough old firm games to catch them if we got the right manager in.another bad result in the few games and it's defo curtains for us.the next couple of huns games are tricky away games which we need the huns to drop points from atleast 1 of the games

    But didn't we do the same back in the Tommy Burns era? Lets be honest about it, that got us nowhere and TB was, is and always will be a Celtic legend but as a manager he didn't win the league. Why? Because we couldn't close out games like this, we drew them. We couldn't beat the Huns when we should have been pumping them left, right and centre but we didn't and our loyalty towards a fellow Celtic man cost us. The next season a well disciplined, good team manager with an eye for a certain Swedish legend won us the league first time out. That says a lot to me.

    Again like i said in my previous post Gunt ,,certain players are'nt doing it ,he took 2 of them off at H/T and although it was dodgy for 20-25 mins of the 2nd half ,the team without these 2 stars pulled back 3 goals ,,yes its a draw and another kick in the teeth and shameful from a Celtic team ,but that team he had left on the park fought hard for Celtic ,so on that i would say to Holy Pope ,that Lennon has'nt lost the dressing room ,maybe a few upstarts but not the full bhoona.

    Certain players haven't been doing it for a long, long time yet he continues to pick them. He's a fool. He picks the same * players every time and expects different results.

    You can say the performance towards the end showed that Lennon hasn't lost the dressing room but it's telling that the players who really grabbed us by the balls and dragged us back into it were all players who, unfairly, don't get enough chances.

    I don't think they were playing for the boss. They were playing for their love of the club and themselves for future line-ups.

    Not once during the game did I get the feeling they were all coming together for Lennon.

    No way back.. To be honest any other manager would have been sacked long long time ago. Lennon is not experienced and to be frank, he is clueless if you compare to managers like MON and strachan.
    He´s lost the dressing room completely and not even th eplayers seem to want him as manager anymore.

    Walk with your head up high before you get sacked lenny...

    voted yes he is the man

    but thats only for now. this is a hiccup, a big hiccup, but a hiccup none-the-less.

    he/the players need to turn the rest of this season around, and quick. he also needs to drop the stupid tactics (which include ridiculous formations, players being played out of position, confusing substitutions, and on-form players not starting) and start playing the best squad possible, in the same formation, regardless of home or away, obviously dropping whichever players due to form/injuries.

    if he isnt turning it round 3/4 of the way through this season, and there hasnt been at least quality 2 transfers in january, then my opinion will sway more to get rid of him at the end of the season and begin the search for someone new.

    sacking him, lennon walking right now would be mental tbh!


    edit: lets not forget, the huns pull off these wonder miracle results all the time

    Clincher for my vote was the fact at 3-0 today he had nothing, he was sitting on the bench lost in the moment, I was convinced he was thinking about chucking it, in fact I think he still might within the month.

    Backroom staff had nowt as well, team pulled themselves out of the * but really do now fear the worse.

    Lost control of elements of the dressing room,unable to change a game when we're struggling, bizzarre team selections at times.

    Celtic fans love the guy but he's not got what it takes to be the Celtic manager.
