Digg!
After today's pitiful team performance I headed over to Celtic Park. There was a small but angry mob of around 30 people in attendance and all in the 30 – 60 age group so no young yins and cops galore around the place.
The team bus arrived and every single player took fully merited pelters from a lot of the support standing in wait. Lennon was first off the bus and headed for the front door entrance at the main stand appearing as apologetic as a human could ever look. Then one by one the players departed the bus all to a loud chorus of boos from some but not all of the support. Keane tried to apologise but one fan was as vocal to him as the rest and Keane turned away before heading to his car. Fair play to him he still made himself available to any kid wanting an autograph and kept on apologising.
Things were bad but rapidly deteriorated when McGeady left the team bus. The heckling he received wasn’t any louder than anyone else’s but as is his way he took it upon himself to start mouthing back at the support which caused tempers to fray and the Police to move in stop small pockets of the support getting to him. That wasn’t the end of matters though as McGeady kept shouting back at punters only adding to their ire. When one considers how appalling he was today he’s about the last player who should have opened his mouth but nope he kept arguing back with two supporters comments particularly standing out. The first was a fairly clear message “fcuk aff to England ya wee £%@$” and the second more subtle from an observer in the pensioner age group; “wee Strachan had your number all along McGeady”.
A little while later Darren O’Dea was embroiled in words with some supporters asking them “what did they want him to do” which as you can imagine opened up a few ripostes from those challenging his and the teams performance that day.
Naylor, Brown, N’Guemo and others kept their heads down as they walked towards their cars but the biggest jeer was definitely reserved for Samaras who took an absolute pounding. There’s no doubt he’s a target at matches from some supporters but was he any worse than his team-mates today? No matter, he walked towards his car still willing to acknowledge any kid asking for his autograph while their Dad was questioning his parentage.
The crowd of around now 50 supporters quickly dispersed and 15-20 minutes later Neil Lennon departed the main door and walked towards the small pocket of around 20 fans remaining. Lennon apologised to everyone in attendance and in all honestly for the first time I can recollect he looked a broken man. Give him his utmost due though as he said to all remaining supporters he would openly answer every question they had as it was the least he could do.
He was asked by one supporter why Samaras continues to start and replied he believed “The wide open spaces of Hampden would suit his style plus as he had scored 15 goals this season thought he was the man to do the business today. Unfortunately it didn’t happen”. This led to an older supporter advising Lennon that “Samaras was in (his opinion) the biggest shite bag he’d seen in 60 years supporting the team”. Lennon to be fair didn’t get into an argument over this and took the persons clear point on board.
I then asked him why he doesn’t play Brown, N’Guemo and Crosas together as the midfield two is being over-run so often this season by a lot of teams. His response was he had considered that before the game but felt Robbie would be isolated as Fortune was supposed to play through the middle as a 4-4-2 with Samaras wide left in midfield. He followed this up by saying both Fortune and Samaras disappointed him and he would be unlikely to start the both of them on Tuesday.
Questions continued to flow his way and to his great credit he answered every one put to him openly and honestly, some of his answers I’m not able to repeat here and you’ll understand why at the seasons end.
For everyone’s information neither Peter Lawwell nor John Reid showed up at the stadium during this period which was just as well as they were without any shadow of a doubt the real target of anger of most people hanging around the ground.

Aiden and Darren, mouthy little boys that's all they are. Fucking imposters.
Government (noun) Latin: Govern (control) Mente (mind) = Mind Control, Have a nice day.
Re: Player Fracas At Celtic Park
Disgraceful Aiden, how fucking dare you speak back to the support who yet again turned up today, faithful through and through and yet cunts like you take this faith for granted. Little cunt.
Darren O'Dea can get tae fuck an all.
Not surprising that Brown, N'Guemo and Naylor just walked off. Spineless cunts.
Great to hear that Samaras got stick, he thoroughly deserves it.
Fair play to Lenny. As I said I feel extremely sorry for him, Celtic to the Core, he'll be hurting as much as us.

Re: Player Fracas At Celtic Park
They should of apologised, the fucking fans are struggling to pay their wages from their hard earned money and these millionare cunts cant even apologise for that disgusting performance. If i was them i would be fucking ashamed of myself.
Re: Player Fracas At Celtic Park
Mcgeady, you little bastard,mouthing at the Celtic support
You are one lucky fuckin boy that Tommy Burns wasnt on that bus
Re: Player Fracas At Celtic Park
Ironic that you mention him mate as I've been wondering for a while now if he was the only guy behind the scenes that carried any respect from the players. There's no way we would be so gutless if the great man was still with us.Originally Posted by jackjarvisesq

Agree with you here man,i think we lost a lot more than we thought when Tommy passed awayIronic that you mention him mate as I've been wondering for a while now if he was the only guy behind the scenes that carried any respect from the players. There's no way we would be so gutless if the great man was still with us.
Re: Player Fracas At Celtic Park
agreed only lenny and keano should any genuine concern towards us. both gained so much more respect from me today. keano must now be regarded as a legendary celt imo. he showed his love for celtic and respect for our fans. Lenny must remain at CP in some role. to me he is celtic fc. mcgeady has lost all my respect for his outburst, and lenny must be strong and send him to play with the youth team until the wee fanny learns a lesson in humility. who does he think he is fucking talking to a bunch of arseholes. i would call it high treason. he deserves a good slapping to put it mildly. more trouble than his performances merit. silly wee boy. hes a disgrace to the jersey and i hope lenny or dolph blacken his eyes. fuckin billy bigtime tbc...
Re: Player Fracas At Celtic Park
Funny how the writer of the article never mentioned what McGeady actually said as ''he was mouthing back to the support''. Stinks of pish if you ask me. Those two bellends that told him to fuck off to england and that Strapon had his number all along should be ashamed of themselves. I'd never say that to any player at Celtic as much as most of them infuriate me. I'm not denying what he said or didn't say but the fact he didn't quote is is quite bizarre.
What really stuck with me from that article was captain oblivious's quick disappearing act. As the captain he should have answered q's from the support but instead headed to his car like a little rat. Fucking scumbag cowardly bastard. Man up like Neil Lennon did Brown or else get the fuck out of Celtic Park.
Final point on all this is regards Lennon. What he done there tonight shows the gent he really is. To actually take time out to talk to the supporters and explain things says more than enough about the kind of guy he is. He's got his head screwed on and between you me i would not like to be any of those who's called into his office come monday morning. A few of those players today played one of their last games in a Celtic jersey and they'll regret it big time.

They come from bonnie Scotland,
But they bow to Englands crown,
They really are a mixed up bunch,
They let their country down,
They're racists,thugs and bigots,
And we all know their name,
They're fans of Glasgow Rangers
And they're known as Scotlands Shame.
Re: Player Fracas At Celtic Park
cant back his mouth up with ability. aiden shape up or ship out ya wee wanker. the cunt has no respect and is fucking becoming a liability.
Re: Player Fracas At Celtic Park
It's funny how your opinions can change in the space of a day.
Aiden once one of my favourite players as you's all know. I backed him to the hilt when he was taking it from all angles. Well no more, fuck you Aiden.

Re: Player Fracas At Celtic Park
I hope he does leave. He's become a scapegoat as of late. Far too good a player to be playing amongst that shite. Needs better players around him to reach his full potential and let's be honest here, Celtic can't give him that can we?

Re: Player Fracas At Celtic Park
Did Brown say sorry? NO
Did N'Guemo say sorry? NO
Did Thompson say sorry? NO
Did N'Guemo say sorry? NO
Did Naylor say sorry? NO
Did Samaras say sorry? NO
Did Fortuné say sorry? NO

Re: Player Fracas At Celtic Park
Not at all. He has hardly kicked a ball since the huns game in January and went hiding again today against Ross fuckin' County. And yet he still thinks he can talk back to the supporters...
Artur is the only man for me now like, not one other player that I can honestly say that I particularly like/respect.

Re: Player Fracas At Celtic Park

Re: Player Fracas At Celtic Park

Re: Player Fracas At Celtic Park
I am still livid myself mate and it's probably the anger that's talking right now. He has went down way in my estimations though as have most of the squad.Not gonna argue mate i've used all my anger up shouting at the tv today. Your choice your opinion your feelings.

Re: Player Fracas At Celtic Park
I want to know what McGeady said before i say anything about him. Althougth its not right to mouth off to your own supporters after a shocking season and game.
