Not sure how Lennon is feeling but he looked distant on Sunday, imo Ollie Burke can go rogic not the same Mikey Johnston no gd enough Lenny got the team wrong. Young Henderson should be given games.
It's been a tough year for Celts injuries management disruption people leaving total disruption it's like everyone is trying to stop us now the media constantly spouting crap out our next manager etc unsettling Lenny and the team. Even these forums are piling pressure on Lenny. Sevco win we where rotten even Mr reliable calmac was not in it.
Brown well don't want to keep ranting about him. Maybe we are burnt out. New hungry blood needed now bleed them in.

Interesting that Lennon and Gary Parker were at the west brom game tonight given they don’t have a manager and Parker isn’t part of Lennon’s backroom staff just now.

Not that important now but just been hearing the outcry from the Sevies about Flannigans yellow been upped to a red. Instead of saying we got lucky, we kept 11 men on the park for 90 mins when we should of been down to 10, they are coming out with they're all out to get us. Jeezo it must be the most blatant red card of the season. Anyway what's the ruling when this kind of incident happens when the balls not in play? Can a pen be awarded?

14 May 2019 22:42:27
Penalty cannot be awarded as far as I am aware because ball not in play.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2019 22:59:31
Is Clancy being reprimanded for missing a blatant red card.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2019 23:27:12
Ball was in the air from the corner kick when the ref whistled, no doubt whatsoever about that!

Agree1 Disagree0

14 May 2019 23:44:26
They're even claiming they're being victimised as jozo isn't being hauled up for an elbow I must have missed that incident.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 May 2019 06:16:34
I never seen it either jaw but apparently it was mentioned but got booted out.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 May 2019 07:10:28
@LeedsCelt - The ref may have blown the whistle after the corner had been taken but the incident definetly happened before the ball was in play.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 May 2019 07:46:22
Ball wasn't in play.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 May 2019 10:41:18
Defoe and Jozo ran into each other just happens Defoe is giving away about 4 stone so dropped and tried to claim an elbow.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 May 2019 11:21:58
The sevconians in my work never even mentioned it and I was giving them plenty about the wife beater hitting broony.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 May 2019 12:55:22
To say the wasn't in play is nothe completely accurate and could be argued. I understand what this means. . HOWEVER that ball was not in the corner area designated for such things. It was actually outside the corner area and on the actual field if play do technically on the pitch which would mean in play.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2019 22:13:33
The only real clue as to who will be the new manager, will be to scan the Cup Final crowd and see who is watching. What better way than that, to see what the players can do.

Another Twitter manager rumour tonight, Martinez and Maloney deal done and dusted, am off down to bookies before they go odds on, Sinclair, Burke and Hayes the forward line for final, hope they stay fit.

How’s Eds who is going to be the next Celtic manager if u were a betting man?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - If I was a betting man I'd probably bet on the favourite.}

14 May 2019 17:45:24
Favourite varies so who is your favourite Eds?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Martine McCutcheon has been a constant favourite of mine for well over 20 years.}

14 May 2019 17:55:05
Very funny Ed haha Don’t dodge the question who is your favourite for the job?

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Well I've said it for months, Marcelo Bielsa.}

14 May 2019 18:03:37
Do u think the board are brave enough to go for someone like that realistically I don’t think so. I think that Lennon has it to loose but in saying that if Lennon was their choice he would’ve been in full time at the start so maybe he was not long term. Time will tell it’s just frustrating not knowing what is going to happen I just hope the wait will be over quickly.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I don't think the board will have even considered Bielsa.}

14 May 2019 18:43:29
Thanks Ed for your insight there is talk about K. Dembele maybe in squad for Saturday have u heard anything on this.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - In my opinion it would be crazy to throw a kid like Dembele in against any Craig Levein led Hearts team.}

14 May 2019 18:47:31
Martine mccutcheson has rapidly lost it. Looks double of pat butcher these days with black hair.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Shocking statement! I've killed for less....

14 May 2019 18:59:04
Could be worse, not so long ago it was
Lambert
Malkay mackay
Owen coyle
Larson
Macnamara
Who were wetting our lips!

14 May 2019 19:20:32
What about your man Yakin, Ed? I remember you suggesting him before Rodgers (? ) . Has been great in the past but I see Sion are languishing a bit. Still think he could be good for us?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Nah, he just seems to bounce around from club to club now.}

14 May 2019 19:40:06
I was asking before but is there any chance Celtic have prioritised who they want and went after them? As opposed to waiting for applicants.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I'd like to think they'd do both.}

14 May 2019 20:37:14
Ed you champion Bielsa and it’s clear to see why. With his track record if Leeds don’t go up do u think he’s someone we would not should be looking at. With ten in a row on the horizon I don’t see why there won’t be a names queuing up to take us on.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I just don't see that board showing that level of ambition, Welshy. I'm preparing myself for being seriously underwhelmed with the appointment.}

14 May 2019 22:13:00
John Hughes?

Agree1 Disagree0

14 May 2019 22:53:39
Just finished big Billy’s autobiography have read a few jocks Sean fallon as a club we have treated legends terribly yet we still lean towards “Celtic men” as managers billy qouoted in his book how his love and loyalty to the club and the fans was more important than personal glory have we changed? Does Lenny fall into that category where being manager of the club he loves mean he will take the job because of who we are under any circumstances. Celtic men taking us on I understand I would take the job in a heartbeat but it will limit us going forward. We need a football man in charge with personal aspirations to do well and take us and him forward.

Forrest will miss cup final, would you play new signing Shved.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

14 May 2019 17:21:15
Forget this post, Shved isn’t registered.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2019 17:36:29
Is it even possible? That would be a huge call if it was. Imagine if he didn't have a good game and there was an upset? NL would be hounded out. I like the look of the kid but it wouldn't be sensible.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2019 17:40:58
tempting but no. Sinky, Edouard, and Burke ought to start up top, left-to-right. Cheeky spot on the bench tho'? Sure!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Edouard is a major doubt for the weekend and the Cup Final.}

14 May 2019 17:48:56
Right, Ed: forgot about the potential injury :/.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - And don't forget Leigh Griffiths doesn't deserve to play in the final either. 😉

14 May 2019 18:21:53
Tamtam you sure because we sign and registered him before he went on loan. He's basically just returning from a loan spell.

Agree0 Disagree1

14 May 2019 20:43:58
Burke playing the cup final that is hilarious he should be nowhere near the squad never mind first 11 the guy simply isn't good enough.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 May 2019 06:32:45
Would rather shved than burke if he can play that is.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 May 2019 16:52:50
Ed do you think we have Cocu on the shortlist and is he available?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - I don't know if he's on a shortlist but he's out of work so he is available.}

14 May 2019 18:22:32
If he's not then someone should get their baws booted.

Agree1 Disagree2

15 May 2019 02:10:44
Cheers Ed. He would be my choice.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I wouldn't be disappointed if we Cocu got the job.}

14 May 2019 16:10:08
I see Graham Potter is being linked to the now vacant Brighton job I've said before I would like to get this guy at Celtic doubt it will happen now and it may have been a bit risky whilst going for the 10 but he is the type we should be looking at rather than pie in the sky links to Mourinho and benitez also u would say no to Houghton although I don't think he should have been sacked.

Brother collum is flemings flavour of the month, he will eventually referee a sevco match, his first in 6 months.
It makes sense for him to referee killie v sevco on sunday taking pressure off, going into next season.
He also got the relegation battle last night and he is the ref for the final.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

14 May 2019 19:51:42
I did say Collum would get Killie v Sevco game a couple of weeks ago, it was a stonewaller. Tavernier can get his penalty boots looked out as they will get every decision going so Collum back in favour for next season.

Agree1 Disagree0

Hi ed
Wondering if you could help, discussing the CL next year with a few people and I mentioned
because there are 2 English teams in the CL final who are both in the PL top 4, it means that there could be 6 English teams in the CL next year.
The winners this year will go straight into the group so the 5th placed in the PL gets a spot but because Arsenal are 5th in the PL and if they win the EL it would mean Man U gets a spot.
Hope this makes sense.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - The maximum amount of teams any country can have playing in the CL is five. Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs have already qualified for the 2019-20 CL Group Stages and Arsenal will join them if they win the EL later this month, if they lose they will go into the EL next season along with Man Utd and either Wolves or Watford depending on who wins the FA Cup between Man City and Watford.
If City win the FA Cup then Wolves go in through their 7th place finish but if Watford win at Wembley they'll take the final EL place.
Arsenal must beat Chelsea in the EL Final to create England's fifth CL spot and book their place in it.}

14 May 2019 12:19:03
Pretty sure regardless of whoever wins the CL, the champions league spot would go to the Austrian champions as they are ranked as 11th best league and don’t have an automatic entry. Chelsea winning EL would give France an extra champions league group stage entry, arsenal winning would give them the entry. I think that’s right anyway lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2019 13:34:09
Cheers for that Ed.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - You're welcome buddy 👍

14 May 2019 11:08:17
If Celtic have been looking for new manager and there is a deal nearly done I think that somehow it will get leaked out just before cup final to try and put the team off just my opinion.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

14 May 2019 13:29:58
Personally think this would be the best thing to happen. don't see how it would affect the team anymore than the uncertainty. Think this would give the players a lift especially if it is someone with a pedigree. and not a poodle.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2019 14:32:03
You can be certain some sort of destructive or distracting sensationalism will appear in the lead-up to the final.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2019 10:40:40
Ed007, with Congerton now gone do we already have someone internally who could step into his role or is it more likely that John Park or someone else will come in? HH.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - If it's just as a Head of Recruitment I suppose Neil Lennon could do the job but I'd imagine that it will be an external appointment. John Park looks likely to join Sunderland as their new DOF so he won't be returning to Celtic.}

14 May 2019 11:09:33
I'd have thought that Lennon is an all or nothing guy in that he wants the manager job or no job at all. Perhaps I'm wrong. HH.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I'd be surprised if Lennon would take a job like that too but I do think he could do it.}

14 May 2019 12:03:48
I’ve got a feeling we will promote Kennedy to the position? Do you believe any of the Rafa rumours after that huge price cut in the betting ED?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - How many favourites is that the bookies have had now?}

14 May 2019 13:14:48
2, maybe 5, maybe 7 I have no idea haha! Just I don’t understand the whole betting thing a lot when it comes to managers etc. Usually when a horse gets backed in from such a high price its due to a leak of information or someone with credibility gives a tip. With a manager it’s an odd one as it seems that the only hunch they can go on is how much people are betting at a specific time?

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2019 13:52:38
I think it happens when a lot of money goes on. Or if the bookies reduce the odds to try to get (mug) punters to bet on it. Will never be Rafa, unfortunately.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Sly Spurts News rumours are mostly fabricated stories to get people gambling.}

14 May 2019 08:31:06
So news this morning is Carlos carvalhal wants the celtic job, my opinion is that he’s obviously very experienced not a terrible manager.
but out of the ones mentioned recently and ones I believe we have a chance of getting I’d like Chris hughton or moyes before Carlos, and no Lennon isn’t on my list like Tesla has said previously these guys have done no bad with similar budget in the top league in the world so they get my vote as we can’t attract the big guns unfortunately and we have to think realistically, one things for sure I’m looking forward to the announcement and the transfer window 🍀.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

14 May 2019 09:49:12
I think there is a good chance we are going to get Rafa.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 May 2019 10:45:42
Is it true John Park is returning to replace Congerton?
Just saw a headline and hoping it's speculation as my original philosophy of 'Never Go Back' covers not only players and managers, but Recruitment as well.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 May 2019 12:16:05
Oab I think he’s going to Sunderland.
