Neil Lennon

Doesn't sound very much like he's * off after the cup final now...

 

Definitely been watching Celtic mate, just one of these pesky * that dares to have a different opinion to the noisy majority.

I've stated many times before that I wanted a permanent change in the middle, been wanting Turnbull starting since he arrived, and don't like the way Lennon plays Brown most games, would prefer he was used more sparingly. He doesn't provide enough going forward, which is where someone like Turnbull comes in. However, he has been nowhere near as bad as what a lot of folk make out and would have no problem seeing him start against Hearts, as long as it's not with Ntcham.

 

He's let us down on plenty big occasions as captain, our cup record under him as captain before Brendan arrived was shocking, he over seen defeats to Ross County twice, Aberdeen, St Mirren, Inverness, Oldco, Hearts, Morton, Newco, Kilmarnock (there was even a home draw with Arbroath under him as captain amongst this but we won the second leg of that), all these cup exits prevented us from winning a single Treble before Brendan became manager. Even on some occasions where we won a cup, can you honestly say it was his leadership that won us the league cup last season for example? That was a shocking cup final performance which would have been one of the biggest humiliations in our history if it wasn't for Forster.

Then there's the number of failed CL/EL Qualification campaigns to absolute diddy opposition in comparison to ourselves financially & as a squad under him as captain, Braga, Utrecht, Sion (before Sion got kicked), Malmo, AEK Athens, Cluj, Ferencvaros, we also haven't progressed past a single round in Europe post Christmas under him as captain either, even after getting favorable results in the first legs of Zenit & Copenhagen before a capitulation followed in the second legs, the last captain to achieve progression for us in a round in Europe after Christmas was Paul Lambert in 2004.

The Inverness capitulation to win the league in Lenny's first spell, the failure to win the league at Ibrox, his performances in the vast majority of these games were shocking, then there's this season which we don't even need to discuss.

There's been plenty big occasions where he's let us down as player & captain, it's nothing but a myth to suggest otherwise. His time has come & gone, he'll still be the man to lift the Quadruple Treble but the players who deliver it on the park should be the players who have got us back to winning ways in the last two fixtures.

 

Not at all, we’re all allowed to have different opinions it’s what makes us human. Ours just differ on this subject

 

If we owe Scott Brown gratitude, then bring him in after the 80th minute for a round of applause when or if the game is done. You don't risk a cup final just to be nice.

It appears that anything Lennon eventually gets right is by accident. Playing Hazard, Turnbull, Soro and Klimala worked. Lennon not just refuses to learn from his mistakes, but also from his victories.

 

10 Championships, 9 in a, row.
5 Scottish Cups hopefully 6 on Sunday.
6 League Cups.
Quadruple Treble on the way hopefully.

Aye he's been a hindrance..

Europe has been a disappointment in lots of ways tbf to you and side built around him was always going to have limited European success imo..

I've been a harsh critic of Broonie but he's not responsible for every defeat you've listed ffs

And if Lenny decides he deserves a place on Sun, there's no reasonable argument against it.

He will deserve his place.

 

So why did you say he rarely let's us down when he has?

 

See above.

 

Whatever mate he shouldn't be starting the cup final & it's an unnecessary advantage to Hearts if he does

 

If Brown is not part of the best 11 players at our disposal to win the match I fail to see how he deserves to start.

 

Pish.

 

He was excellent in Milan and would have no issues with his experience being utilised from the start in the Cup Final if that's the way Lenny decides to go.

 

If your life was depending on Celtic getting the win, would you start him? If so, fair enough you’re entitled to that opinion. I didn’t see the game in Milan but he’s a holding midfielder and we * a 2 goal lead so he can’t have been great.

 

If Brown leads us on against Hearts then he'll probably lead us out at Ibrox.

That'll be complete midfield domination by the Klan and another * easy victory.

League over. Season over.

 

There's games he should play and games he shouldn't, we've been much more dynamic without him no argument there and this will be his last season. But a Cup Final is different has Soro even played at Hampden? Not saying Soro wouldn't shine, but if Lenny wants to start Broonie then I've absolutely no issues with that either, they're all lots of reasons why that may make sense.

 

Agree with this apart..... league is over already.

 

Sticking with players out of loyalty is one of the reasons how the huns didn't win 10 in a row. We must of won the league that year with one of the lowest points total ever

 

League isnt over at all,Lenny will bring the 10...Mark my words

 

Agree with most of that but as much as I like the guys work rate playing klimala up front on his own hasn’t worked for me

people wanting klimala in as our striker is more to do with how * edouard has been as opposed to how well klimala has did when he’s played

 

Guarantee if hearts players see Broony s name on the team sheet theyd feel more confident than if they see soro, whether he’s played at hampden or not and despite what brown s did in the past, soro on present form is by far the better option as a defensive midfielder, he’s faster than brown, better tackler than brown, better passer than brown, better positioning sense than brown, doesn’t get booked and give away possession and daft free kicks like brown
Guys played against the team sitting 2 points on top of la ligue above psg who had everything to play for against us and totally bossed the midfield so don’t think being his first game at hampden V a championship side will faze him in the slightest

Entitled you’re opinion but if brown plays before soro it’s totally for sentimental reasons rather than picking his best starting 11, which is disrespectful to soro and the fans
