WIBBLE WOBBLE SOSHUL MEEJA WIBBLE WOBBLE

Load of scheidt
:lol: Think I really needed to read something like that :thumbsup: Immediately chilled a bit.

One last point on Brother Walfrid etc. though. Think of the Old Board and the shenanigans they pulled with players, fans, everybody.

His ideals remain with the club but only to an extent, it's been that way for a century or more so let's be realistic.

I have nothing but contempt for the Board but by their standards I'm gobsmacked at this. To wilfully feed a lie that denigrates Celtic supporters with the worst of insults, to our enemies in the MSM, is almost beyond belief. The brazen arrogance of the bastards in protecting their own, cushy numbers is unforgivable.

I'll say this again: our loyalty and devotion is being manipulated by these charlatans no less cynically than the huns are by their parcel of rogues. They play on our hopes and fears, bouy us up with recollections of former glories and promise us a brighter tomorrow. It's just that our lying bastards are Lords and million/billionaires, while their's are nomarks and convicts.

Well, if this was meant as a deflectionary tactic it has certainly worked :lol: .
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.
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.
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..

Of course. But this isn't about what he thinks. This is about what he did.


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.

Which is a statement in complete contradiction with his actions. The man had an opportunity to vote in favour of blocking a move that exists purely to persecute the poorest people in this country. He voted in favour. By their deeds you shall know them.

This has nothing to do with the role of the House of Lords. It has to do with the decision Livingstone made when he had the power to block something which would persecute the poor. He voted for it. Brother Walfrid would not have supported a man that did something like that.

He's a bastard. Get rid.

What in the name of eff was Bankier thinking? Enraging supporters is going to do nothing but financial damage to the club.

These clowns should be doing everything they can to keep us as sweet as possible considering we have no CL income nor a £10m player to punt. eff, we don't even have a £5m player and this diddy has single handledly reduced ST sales and merch revenue!

They think because we aren't in debt and the huns are coming back then everything is kosher. They couldn't care less about the little man who knocks his pan in for 40 hours a week

I can't imagine the board are unaware that he just smashed a train right through any relationship they had with the fans.

Wouldn't be surprised if they release a statement to clarify the meaning behind his rant. It won't help though.

Completely forgot the AGM was today and logged on here to check up on the team for this weekends match.

Instead I can't believe what I am reading, being disgusted would be an understatement!

How in gods name can these people come out with such nonsense. The board is an absolute disgrace.

Unless it's his resignation for being an idiot it is too little too late. Any criticism of Livingston now will be coloured by accusations of "criminal racism". Club have what they want. Media have what they want. Fans? Well, the fans will have to just shut up and sit down.

So the Lord livingston issue basically superseded any discussion about the future strategy of the club then ?
