A quick glance at the headlines on News Now / Celtic show that Bankier has damaged the Celtic fans' reputation |

I still don't know what your point is. If the abuse Bankier is claiming did actually happen, then why raise it at the AGM rather than with the police. Interesting that Livingstone made no such claim when defending himself in the press. |

i don't know what evidence you base that assumption on. my view is that they wouldn't think twice about hanging a supporter out to dry and they have already done so when they passed on names and addresses of innocent supporters to the police which enabled them to carry out dawn raids. |

Honestly shocked that Bankier could out with such a claim. Like others, I had no idea he was Jewish, not that I should know. The stupidity of that comment. |

If a member of our board recieved a 'torrent of racial abuse' because he happens to be Jewish I would expect and want the club to take action. Now that Bankier has brought it up, shouldn't we be asking where this abuse came from? If it is a 'torrent' then there must be enough examples. |

Isn't this statement libelous without proof - could he be sued for this ? |

I'm nearly being sick at that comment now Now that it's had time to sink in I basically agreed with the point Bankier was trying to make But then he turns it into racism when its purely political He’s got to go for that – that’s a total embarrassment. Embarrassment. |

I suspected as much when, on being appointed at Celtic, he said "Celtic fans should be more like the Tartan Army".

By whom? He didn't name anyone. He should, though, be chased from Celtic Park forthwith for saying it. With regards the campaign against Livingston, it was always idiotic IMO. If we didn't want Tories on our board, we wouldn't have a board. |

Libel is the written form of defamation. Slander the verbal. No names mentioned by Bankier. |

Well, if this was meant as a deflectionary tactic it has certainly worked .Being abroad, I don't know this Lord Livingstone from Adam. Leaving his politics aside, I'm wondering why there is a Lord on the Celtic board. Is there some expertise he has that is valuable to the club? Being a member of the House of Lords doesn't cut it for me. Isn't that body just a rubber-stamping mechanism with little real power? In any case people should take note that Bankier did NOT say that folk don't want him re-elected to the board because of his race or religion. He said SOME of the abuse he received was racist, and we have no reason to believe Bankier is lying. Why are people demanding proof, when he didn't accuse the support in general. Yes, an unfotrunate remark, perhaps made in defence of a personal friend, but not something to condemn the man for IMO. |

Sensible, the Politics issue is nonsense bearing in mind what Labour has become, were before and will always be, a tool for Unionism whose loyalty to the British State is absolute, only supporting Irish or Catholic interest when it suited them to do so, no other reason. |

The Bankier comments are a side show that most people will fall for. Ignore the remarks and concentrate on the matter at hand. Livingston's decision to vote in favour of tax credits cuts for the poorest people is in direct contravention of the founding principles of Celtic and Brother Walfrid. One man has a statue outside the stadium in his honour for a reason. He would be turning in his grave knowing that someone of Livingston's character was helping to run the club. He has to go and with enough fan power he will. |
