You so called Celtic fans are a disgrace.
Lennon built this team on a limited budget after the dark days of Mowbray, had his 4 of his star players out injured or not 100% fit, he has been given hee haw cash to improve the team this term, so what are you expecting?
Fair enough I see your point about tactical naivety, maybe Stokes should have played and Samaras is simply not good enough but Stokes last games were below par to say the least, where as Samaras has better work rate than Stokes.
The reality is Lennon's under orders to spend his money on young potential with a resale value, the board are more interested in balancing the books than spending money to make us a force again.
If the board did sack Lennon what happens then? we spend about 8 mil giving the new manager a transfer budget to rebuild the team, why not give lennon that cash to buy us a target man and centre back as big fan dan got us eliminated with a stupid reckless challenge that was not needed.(almost as moronic like the whittaker Malmo incident imho) anyway even if we do bring in a new manager, name one manager better that Lennon that will take a job with no funds where european qualification is becoming harder with each season that passes by? bearing in mind Owen Coyle and Roberto Martinez knocked us back and they are hardly Jose Mourinho.

Gutted tonight was hoping both teams would go through, tonight has put scottish football back even further
Sad night but like I said in my post above Lennon needs to sort out players that are not at the races or this will cost him his job

can see your point Jinky agree with your verdict on samaras and fan dan, but the injuries at this time have been an absolute disaster timing wise, this along with a lack of funds to build on last season can hardly result in Lennon being solely to blame. As for the post match interview he can hardly slaughter a 10 man team (who had a beast of a task) in the media or he would lose the dressing room.

Yes we have had injuries but Lennon picks the team and his choices tonight were wrong and this is were I am judging him, agree with the funds but Lennon and the board know we need our defence sorted for a long time and this cost us last season and tonight
I will wait and see but if he keeps playing dan and sam then I am sure he will lose the fans and hid jobs

Agreed those 2 wasters have to go but There is no-one better to replace him.
Still have the faith in Lenny when he is gave the funds the pieces will fall into place.
Hail! Hail! in Lenny we trust!

I'm starting to doubt Lennon, say what you like but in my opinion that Celtic team should have wiped the floor with Sion. As Jinky said, the buck stops with Lennon, he picks the team and that team out there tonight were garbage...utter garbage. I don't understand his tactics or his substitutions....Home and away we looked clueless. I don't want excuses, I want results.

What team would you have picked under the circumstances? we had 10 men ffs, if we won the praise for Lenny would be rife, hate to burst your bubble but this team is not the standard of previous seasons. Everyone is quick to criticize but I don't see any solutions?
Until a russian or arab billionaire wants to buy us and Mourinho wants the job theres no one out there that will do better than Lenny with the funds(if you can call it that) available

It's not all negatives, I thought that Celtic were excellent for the first 45 seconds.
