Dumb & dumber, truce almighty or threat defective?

THERE was a famous line from Dumb and Dumber that came to mind after Brendan Rodgers lobbed his grenade into the Celtic boardroom on Friday.

When Jim Carrey's Lloyd Christmas character was asking the object of his desire how his prospects looked, she replied, "Not good. About one in a million."

The bold Lloyd shot back from under his dodgy fringe, "So you're saying there's a chance? Yes!"

Right now it seems like there's even less than a one in a million chance of Rodgers lasting beyond the end of the season.

But, and maybe it's dumb of fans to think it, his explosive comments did actually leave the door open even if just a tad.

This might be a half-full - or halfwit if you prefer - way to see it but this is the first time Rodgers has even hinted he might even be open to remaining at the club beyond his three years.

It has been kind of assumed he'd feel he'd had enough by that stage, having been in charge for almost six years over two spells and dealing with all the nonsense that goes with it.
