It's nothing more than the rantings of a drunken, embarrassing, shambles. Club has no need to dignify his shite with a response.

They really wanted that Dubai trip. In Lennons' defence, if my employer agreed for me to take me and my whole team on an all expenses paid trip to warm, sunny Dubai in January I would absolutely push for it as well*. Its not as if this isnt Lennon's last management gig at a club who can afford such luxuries. The answer from Lawwell, however, should have been a swift naw. Also got to admire the guy to some degree. He said he asked for this in November, when Celtic were on their horrendous run of form. Imagine getting pumped 4-1 at home to Sparta Prague and having the brass neck to ask for a lads holiday off the back of it. *wouldnt be thick enough to do it when the country is about to go in to lockdown...obviously 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'll ask you a few questions and I'll try and be as clear as possible to avoid confusion and minimise the risk of you talking in riddles. Do you agree with the following things that Lennon came out with yesterday: The social distancing rules are ridiculous It's not a matter of public safety and that this is all a political exercise Celtic have acted professionally throughout this episode He claimed Celtic have had no cases (despite 2 positive results in the last 10 days) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic have gone abroad acting the big man - look how big a club we are going to Dubai - Its come back to hit them in the face. You've nailed it. The crucial point that lennon isn't getting is that the Dubai trip happened a matter of days after the First Minister announced new measures. We all had to re-evaluate, adapt, and change plans, but celtic decided it was perfectly fine to go ahead as planned. lennon says the decision was his. rather than lawell's, so he is culpable. In light of the celtic fan protests in December, lennon maybe felt it would be safer to get out of town after the derby. celtic fans (and everyone else) then saw pictures of them sipping drinks around a pool in a glamourous setting a matter of hours after losing a crucial derby, while the rest of us have to stay at home. The whole Dubai trip has massively backfired on celtic - it's affected their team selections, and results, and lawell and lennon's statements have only served to make matters worse. Any stick they're getting is deserved - there's no agenda, and it's not political. Edited January 19, 2021 by paranoid android 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why they all sit there nodding their heads in a sycophantic way. Sky editors should back their journalists and tell Celtic it isn't a problem, they will focus on other clubs until tempers have cooled. They won't of course, but that is their choice and why they will follow every other two bob outfit in reporting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip and it's done for exactly the same reasons. A total misuse of power in a bid to silence people and ensure all coverage is sycophantic in nature.

Sarto Mutiny Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I take it Celtic will be foregoing the TV money they get from Sky as well? Purely in the interests of fairness, you understand 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Incidentally, football could take a leaf out of Formula One's book and make it compulsory for team managers and players to be available for interview at set times. The sport as a whole needs sponsors, sponsors need exposure and that happens at interviews. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is for live tv so tomorrow will be interesting. Chances are Sky will revel in it though in the short term which is as long as Lennon is likely to last. Edit - Be amusing if Andy Walker arrives on site about the same time as Celtic tomorrow, though he probably has a completely different entrance and parking area to the Celtic team .
