Neil Lennon for Ireland job?

I would rather a more experienced proven manager preferably a foreigner but if I had to take a bit of a gamble on a lower budget manager I think Lennon would get my choice.  He has shown to be technically astute in the Champions League which is the most technically advanced and best competition in football and gets the players punching above their weight. Granted Celtic Park's atmosphere is probably a factor but he has set them up well away from home too notably against Barca- arguably the best club side in history.  He is obviously fiercely nationalistic and passionate and I think he could do a good job for us.I think he may do another season at Celtic after this one maybe two but he will surely recognise that this season could be as far as he can take them and expectations on another relatively successful Champions League group phase will be high and he may want to leave on a high note.  I think he could be persuaded to manage us too and I dont think he would demand traps money.

Doubt he would leave Celtic, and would be sure there would be other clubs looking at him if he did decide to leave for some reason, but all that said, we could (and possibly will) do a lot worse than him. Would have no objections meself, but don't see it as likely to happen. 

Id have Michael O'Neill ahead of Lennon.
Rovers only lost 2-0 at home to Juve.

Big difference between that Juve side and the one Celtic played last night though

Came on for the final 10 minutes. Luigi (del Neri) didn't think I was good enough to start and I wanted to prove him wrong by scoring. Almost got one, but fairly sickened him with that free kick in turin

Well I've played in bigger stadia, with bigger crowds, have had tifo's made in my honour, and crowds baying for my blood. But what I experienced that evening was different. It was unique, humbling, and momentarily I had to remind myself that there was a job to be done. Little did I know I would be getting that reception more frequently as my time in Torino and with Juventus was coming to an end.
 
On the field, inside that green rectangle, the highest expression of myself is an animalistic energy, the adrenaline. You must be able to be physical to be the best, it is my obsession. That reception only inspired me to to perform to my best in Tallaght, and the return fixture in Torino.

Was the return leg not in Modena, great one?

My old age is catching up on me  Stadio Braglia is not unlike the Olimpico

It was a terrible evening for football, that I do remember

Pretty sure OWC would go into meltdown if Lennon got the job too
