Ok then slanderous, but hasnīt he directed it at an identifiable group ie Celtic supporters - couldnīt one of the supporters groups challenge this ? Sooner he and his cronies on this board go, the better ! As for Desmond not being arsed to turn up, says it all about his contempt for the supporters ! |

That's bollocks. The guy made the comment because he's a snidey bassa who will say anything to try a validate his position and damage the argument of those that disagree with him. It was an idiotic comment and shows a complete lack of awareness. |

So clever he will have to step down, there is no other option. Maybe it's a squirrel he wanted but he's actually produced a half crazed rodent with a crack pipe brandishing a grenade launcher. |

Ian Bankier has to go. It really is that simple. He has slanderd the club's lifeblood, to defend and save the position of another board member. That statement will drive season ticket holders from the club. It is disgusting. |

Shareholders could sue him if his comments led to a loss of revenue or a drop in share price, unlikely though |

There is a section of society in this country who's profession is "being a board member." Their qualifications are indeterminate but they attend meetings and are well versed in the politcking, networking and keeping the executives within the boundaries of the law that is a requirement of sitting on a board. The fact that these people are frequently Lords and the well heeled of society may tell you something. |

Not at all. At the end Bankier said "Celtic are a family and sometimes families fall out,It's a good thing" |

It looked like the act of a desperate man. And it gave the press the kind of headlines that not even Level 5 could have manufactured for them. Of course, Bankier's claim was completely non-specific, so no-one can ever demand that he back it up with any shred of evidence. The lowest of the low. |

Bankier reacted badly under pressure.the re-election of directors was mundanely passing along until it came to Livingstone.Bankier made a wee speech as to why he should be re-elected then asked for comments from the floor.He didn't expect the backlash.He acted in the heat of the moment but still shouldn't have said what he did. He comes across as an arrogant type expecting his own way & when challenged he spits the dummy out,engaging his mouth before his brain.His reaction to the vote(show of hands) was petulant,not happy that a poll amongst shareholders rather than a straightforward pass was called for. The board did not sacrifice the Celtic support today.Bankier alone did. He's a disgrace & should resign. |

Unless Bankier can provide proof of these claims the sheer stupidity at failing to envisage how his remarks will be perceived indicate he shouldn't be chairing a Celtic Board, even with proof his whole approach is idiotic and we will be hammered in the Press at a time when the focus should be elsewhere. Along with the use of the terminology 'some' as you noted I believe he used 'torrent', as in an onslaught of abuse which indicates widespread. Now how do you feel that reflects on the cub as a whole and our fan base? Unfortunate remarks in public or on KDS can be excused of course but today was his and the Board's big day out and he screwed it up badly to the point it humiliates the club, not acceptable and not a comfortable day for Celtic's Jewish fans I'd imagine.

Celtic fans make an emotional investment in the club but where's the sense here ? He isn't representing Celtic in the House of Lords,is he not allowed a personal view on tax credits ? Think he said his vote was primarily to do with what he saw as the undemocratic role of the House of Lords in preventing an elected goverment's policies being enacted and that he was in favour of provisions to protect the most vulnerable.The response to that is that he's lying Tory.So should he be kicked off because he's lying,who decides when someone is fibbing ? Reference to Brother Walfrid aren't much good either,pretty sure he had nothing to say about the constitutional role of the House of Lords,the correct tactics for Celtic supporters to adopt in that chamber or the state of the welfare state.The latter as he knew only too well didn't even exist in his day.. |
