Message to Neil Lennon...Get Samaras out.

Samaras will get you the sack. Samaras is not an option he has let Celtic down too often.

I've nothing personal against Samaras, don't know him. But I do know the Celtic support when they've had enough, and Lenny must know that too. He could pick Samaras next week and Samaras might even score, but that will only prolong the inevitable. When push comes to shove Samaras too often fails to deliver and crucially the Celtic supporters in general have had it with him. The time for excuses is long past.

Lenny has shown promise as a rookie manager but clearly has a bit of learning to do in relation to meddling with tactics and players in big games. The first thing he must do is dump Samaras.

lennon reads this site so im sure he'll see this...

Whether he reads this or not I'm sure -and hope for his sake - he gets the message that was ringing loud and clear in his ears last night.

I'm with the OP.

In one respect, Lennon's hands are tied, I fear. He's in the job precisely because he WON'T bang the directors' door down demanding cash for a striker.

That said, he needs to drop the big man. It's a pity Greece is going down the toilet, as we could mibbe have sold him to one of their clubs.

Who would buy Samaras?

"That said,both managers could do worse than listen to fans regarding tactics"

You're joking, right?

The fans,or the intelligent fans often see it as it is and as there are thousands of us a few may have relevant constructive advise.
Do you think Ally and Lennon are over burdened with football knowledge,tactis etc?Are you joking too?They are two youngish managers starting out and have loads to learn.

Of course,many fans are daft and will talk rubbish,but filter the good stuff.Big society,football style pal.

Samaras had a better game than Stokes last night, GET STOKES OUT!

A sizeable slice of the Celtic support are fed up with looking at his moany face and baldy heid, Lennon would do well to listen to the fans...

No, they are inexperienced.

"They are two youngish managers starting out and have loads to learn."

Not from people like us they don't.

McCoist spent years working with Walter Smith, on the training pitch and in the dugout. Lennon was one of the most positionally aware midfielders of his time, and played under Martin O'Neill at 3 different clubs.

Do you genuinely believe you could tell them a thing or two about football?

Hector, jaysus but you are some eejit. Are you sure you a Celtic fan at all? I suppose with a fanbase of Celtic's size there's bound to be an odd walloper like you around.

Barcelona if you were to take your logic to it's conclusion, no manager would ever get criticised by any supporters ever. Of course Lennon and McCoist know more than any of us, that's one of the reasons they are in the job. That doesn't mean they get it right all the time on everything.

In Lenny's case, a manager that I've said has shown some promise, he appears to get it wrong about Samaras in particular. In run of the mill league games he hardly ever picks Samaras, but in the big ties in Europe and against Rangers he feels the need to change his system to accommodate him. I know Samaras played last night mainly because Hooper was out, but Lenny needs to stop thinking about Samaras as an option because he doesn't deliver the goods often enough. Either that or Lenny should nail his colours to the mast and pick Samaras all the time. My choice would be to leave him out full stop.

If Samaras is not good enough to play against Dundee UTD and Motherwell etc. then he's not good enough v Rangers or in Europe. Leave him out and punt him if possible.
