Does that mean their supporters will have to put up with Lennon until then.       We have a duty.

Lennon would be a better 'scalp' than Mowbray was - at least he has been a winner for them...

Yes and no - Lennon inherited the dominant team in Scottish football, completing the "treble, treble" while not a foregone conclusion was not a outstanding achievement, however as I said at the time doing so would probably get him the gig on a full-time basis - I think manoeuvring Celtic into a poorer team than Sevco in 18 months is the true measure of the man.

Ooooh! 

 

You are taking no prisoners with your compassion, there!

A rather one sided view, not taking into account the improvements Rangers/Gerrard have made.

It's only been a short spell (recently) that Celtic have slipped, although the green hordes have, unsurprisingly, had a knee jerk reaction wanting him sacked. 

Early days, but the New Years day game (albeit on the 2nd january) takes on significantly more importance for Celtic than Rangers.

Sevco have improved but Sellic are a lot poorer as yesterday game showed

Jan 2nd will see the end of Lennon

Aye, they seem to have gone off the boil, no doubt, especially in defence.

If they lose he could well get the push, but it would probably be too late to catch Rangers anyway.

The league is over

There's no way they will defeat Sevco 3 times as they need to do

They will drop more points against us diddies were Sevco just hammer them now

We should be looking getting at Sellic as all season has shown their fitness is suspect

[faraway saint]

Just a reminder there's already this thread running.

@TediousTom, 8:00pm kick off.

As it's on Sky, not sure how that will work if people don't have access to that, in some way. 

[shull]

We don't fear this mob.

We'll do them again.

[TPAFKA Jersey 2]

Was there clarification in the end over the length of Alnwick’s suspension?

Yes

St Mirren 6/1, Celtic 4/9 and the draw 10/3

Being on Sky at least there should be less shite commentary.

The commentary yesterday was absolutely fine.

There seems to be more whining when we lose, funny that.

Nothing to with winning or losing for me.

Yesterday's combination of presenters is the the best by far.

It's when we stray from this combination that the quality decreases markedly.

Absolutely.
Not sure what the hell folks expect!

Indeed. 

[spankin_panda]

So even season ticket holders can’t watch this on saints tv? 
I find this odd, in the ‘normal’ world, you couldn’t stop people attending the game as it’s on Sky. A bit shite. 

IPTV it is.... 

[spankin_panda]

Back to the game - they will be out for revenge. I am optimistic we can pull a historic double here! But I’m blinded with optimism and black and white tinted glasses tho....

Honestly, I've given up trying to understand the mindset of the business brains behind Scottish football.

I can't think of too many other businesses which seem to be run to deliberately reduce income streams.

If they are not restricting income by doing what you've described, they are over-pricing the product. Either way, they seem incapable of seeing the big picture.

I don't see any reason whatsoever why we can't win again and I expect the players will be feeling exactly the same way. There should be no fear factor against these big two teams anymore.

[oaksoft]

I appear to have confused @faraway saint with that last comment for some reason.

[bigjerseybuddie]

I admire the optimism on here.  I’m a big shite the togs who thinks we will struggle as they will want revenge after our recent win against them. I will be watching with my scarf on and bog roll handy.
