Congrats to the Tims

[StuartD]

Hiya Stuart,Hiya!!!!

Alright mate sore head this morning? :cheers:

Well deserved as Celtic have played well in the CL. Everbody goes on about the Barca result but for me the win in Moscow was huge. It put to bed there away form jinx and you could see the belief in the players from then on

Just as well you didnt go last night as your troosers would have got in some mess from the stoor built up on those seats that have been empty since the Barca game

Maybe you made yourself look like a Rangers fan by using the word "Tims"

I think you will find most fans of other clubs in Scotland actually call Celtic, Celtic and dont feel the need to use what could be construed as a sectarian term.

I think you'll find that alot of people who go to games in Scotland call them tims, or smellys is another term favoured by the cognescenti.

Congratulations to our wee provincial cousins from along the M8, and thanks for the £250,000 they've just raised for each and every SPL team!

Just goes to show what you can be achieved without a rich owner and Skys EPL dosh.

Do you think the EPL brand is starting fail.

I think all the credit needs to go to Lennon, which is a pretty tough thing for me to say.He's developed from a pretty nasty player into a pretty nasty manager into a bloody good manager who, from my point of view, seems to be a decent bloke nowadays.Something I would have refused to believe a few seasons back.

I have tremendous respect for Lennon. He was the sort of player opposition fans always hate (and home fans adore) and took maybe a tad too much of that fiery nature into management, at first, but he's got that under control and has built a decent team. And, of course, he has had to deal with a lot of unacceptable behaviour from fans of (some) other teams.

Great achievement to qualify from that group!

I think Lennon the player and Lennon the newbie manager reaped what he sowed alot of the time when it came to opposition supporters-I'm not talking about the NI related stuff- but he's no doubt settled down and created a pretty impressive squad with not much money.
Another reasonable season and clubs from The EPL (Villa type clubs) will come calling.He certainly has an eye for a player...Wanyama is the best buy (excluding Leigh Griffiths!) I've seen in Scotland for quite a while.

It's easy to pick little parts of a post to make it look bad, you need to read it all to understand what's being said.

Go easy ma man.

I think you just let youself down a bit there..........why did you choose to copy that part of the post and not the last sentence.

Valentino, Neil Lennon was neither a nasty player or a nasty manager.

This is something that the Scottish Media and Zombie fans liked to portray, and you and I both know the agenda behind it.

It must be slapped down at every opportunity.

I wouldn't use the term nasty I'd say passionate but understand exactly why opposition fans would say nasty, they would all love this type of character in their teams.

 

[2004Champ]

I would agree he is passionate, but when you look at the sort of abuse and hatred dished out to him by fans of certain clubs, you know it has nothing to do with how "passionate" he was on the park.

I certainly don't recall the same level of vitriol aimed at him when he played for Leicester, and he was passionate down there too.
