    Exactly.. some * bizarre comments in here tonight..

    As for the banners.. this is a football club, if the manager is * up the fans have the right to voice their opinions.. if this affected the managers mental health maybe he shouldn't be in such a high profile and pressured job..

    Again all this mental health is speculation, he could just be pished cause he wanted to get pished..

    All the more concerning that they deemed him fit for the position again if this was the case. Best thing the guy could do is move abroad to get away from all the bigoted scumbags, and dickheads with camera phones, and try and live a more peaceful life out of the limelight.

    If the fans had been in the stadium the abuse would have been a lot * worse than a few banners. If he’s unable to handle the negative attention which he clearly can’t, then that’s another reason why the board should have relieved him earlier in the season if he refused to stand down. His actions and comments as the season went on got more erratic and bizarre by the week - everyone outside Celtic park could see the impact this was having on his mental health. As an employer, Celtic have acted appalling here.

    There's nothing wrong with Lennon's mental health. He's got a snakey mate amongst his pals for videoing him to embarrass him. The guys had a tough year, and got pished it happens to the best of us. There's no shame or embarrassment for Lennon. He should hold his head up high. He's Neil Lennon.

    He is strong to be so open about his mental health many years ago as he is now. More guys should talk about their mental heath to their GPs, families and friends, and not be apprehensive about trying anti depressants etc to reduce anxiety depression especially during this time, talking therapies as well CBT exercise. It can stop bad habits, save you jobs, help you push on, and save lives ultimately.

    Yes you're right in the case of the banners his religion had nothing to do with it but when he was getting death threats, letter bombs etc his religion had everything to do with it. No matter what way you want to look at it Neil Lennon has been put through a * of a lot in his life and he deserves the support of the Celtic fans. Whether he is good or bad as a manager is irrelevant, im talking about Neil Lennon as a person.

    To me he is showing the signs of someone going through mental health issues, I hope he has the support around him to get back on his feet. In my opinion despite this seasons huge disappointment, Neil Lennon remains a Celtic Legend.

    Lines up with the reports that he was crying whilst drunk about not being offered the Celtic job after Brendan left. He wasn't in a fit mental state to take on this job, board really threw him under a bus.

    I'm not gonna start waxing lyrical about the guy as I can't say I'm much of a fan these days. Never great to see people look like a * while drunk, but I'm honest enough to say I'd have a right giggle if it was McCoist or something.

    It's a non-story really but given the season we have just had, and the demeanour he showed, it puts more scrutiny on the guy than ever. And of course his past demons too, means folk are going to delve deeper into his state of mind, the last few pages just a snippet.

    Whatever the script is, hopefully he gets a decent scran in him this morning.

    Can I just clarify that the banner I was referring to was the "* off Lennon" one which appeared. I have no problem with the ones above. I also did not blame the video on the banners???

    The Irish Catholic comment was not connected to the banners. I meant the video on show will be pounced upon by the bigots who use any excuse to attack Lennon. I am not including any of our own support.

    Some folk can change their pants now.

    Aye that banner was the worst thing I have ever seen. A bit like the "* off Rod" banner

    Over the years I have had harsher things said to me at work

    Lennon has had one too many and people jumping on board about his mental health

    Speaking from experience on someone who has had a minor form depression, getting absolutely steaming the odd time isn't always due to going through a dark time.

    Anyone who gets steaming every now and then isn't an alcoholic or automatically seeking help

    I agree with you. I was trying to highlight the fact that because he was drunk doesn't necessarily mean it is connected to mental health. I was saying he'd likely be more affected by banners etc. I think the whole post has been taken out of context.

    The Irish Catholic comment was to say people who hate him for that reason will use the video to batter him with.

    Seen a few huns taking great delight over this. Strange bunch. Think they have forgot about a certain Mr Gascoigne

    Just to make it clear, I am not suggesting they are on the same level.

    Be thousands of people in this state over the coming months whilst coming out of lockdown, myself included no doubt
