Taken a few drinks since my initial response to bankiers comments

I would be astonished if a criminally racist personal campaign v Ian Livingston exists

There is a campaign for a living wage which was already in full swing pre tax credit cuts

The board have always shown complete contempt for the living wage as a concept whilst at same time friends remunerate each other out of what is a small company to obscene levels

Whilst I have some sympathy for the anti living wage argument as I understand all suppliers must be living wage too and that begins to consume itself ie pay our employees the living wage and be careful who we deal with would seem to be a fair compromise

That said the living wage and bankier response is all deflection which deflects from two main issues

As a football club we are so poorly run - we have a walking talking bs merchant in charge ripping the piss out of everyone - £1m to peter a puppet as a football manager and club whose turnover is huge but which can't compete with molde malmo but can compete with epl for peter

We are going nowhere as a team and have a regiment of Tories telling us what brother walfrid would do

Now we are to understand that wwbw do means let us run the football side into the ground, pay ourselves fortunes and welcome with open arms those who promote poverty and couldn't give a flying one about a fair society

What next George effin Osborne as manager

We have a set of clowns in charge who think this will all blow over

I live for the day they're all gone

With every passing day Celtic becomes more and more just another identikit corporate football club, interchangeable with any of 100s of others.

Kano Foundation, Green Brigade food drives, Celtic Graves Society, etc. that's where the soul of Celtic can be found at the moment. Not in the boardroom and not on the pitch.

The club need to drop the whole Club Like No Other nonsense when it's blatantly untrue. They might as well use The Best A Man Can Get or some other vacuous pish.

"referring to a small number of specific comments"

doesn't match up with what he was saying earlier when he said a 'torrent of abuse'.

bullshampoo.
Why is he airing this view at at an AGM if it's only a small number on social media who he can't even confirm if they are fans at all?

Shameful

Get every last one of them to eff.

EDIT: Nice to see that our Chairman has decided to redefine the word 'torrent'.

I think I'll just go for a torrent of pints tonight, I'm working tomorrow.

They've used this fecking non event over the livingston thing to distract from any genuine criticism of the footballing side of the operation, and rather deftly too it would seem.
Were you hoping somebody was going to ask about the merits of zonal marking or why we don't at two strikers?
No I was hoping to hear some response over the various criticisms this board should be subject to, such as at time lazy scouting, Jozo clearly being bought crocked, plans to enhance the match day experience, the overall strategy of how we are going to grow the brand going forward. Instead it's all become about the Lord livingston issue and Bankier is now the focus, learned feck all of actual import in regards to the direction the club is heading in.

Have taken time to consider my post after several attempts and then deciding my comments were too strong.

I despair, I really do. Final confirmation if ever it were needed that our board have entirely lost touch with the fan base and the ethos of our Club, not theirs. They are but mere custodians and what a shambles they are making of it.

I would be most pleased to see the back of every single one of them and believe that steps should be taken to form a fans organisation to accumulate savings over the next years with a view to fan control. It will take time, vision, commitment and team work, but it could be done.

Stuff the lot of them.

This board are so out of touch with the support the only way we will rid them from the club is to stop lining there pockets of season book sales were to somehow fall back below the 10k a year ala early 90's we would see some boardroom movement. We are irrelevant when we spend our hard earned Buck as they think it will keep on coming no matter what that is an attitude that needs to change.

Spot on mate
Things like that show that the soul of Celtic is alive and well and in the hands it should be, the fans
The problem is we've let the suits take over the tangible part of the club

Deflector Shields set to "Racist !!!", had no idea and CGAF about Livingstons religion , but knew he was a Tory scumbag, who voted for welfare cuts that the vast majority
of our support oppose , did he not expect his actions to be questioned.? For Bankier and the rest of them to play this card , shows how low they would stoop to keep their seats and how disconnected and out of touch with the fans and the spirit of OUR club is disgraceful. ..F Off the lot of them.

Bankier's comments were disgusting. Not only to deflect over the position of Livingstone and his utter disregard for the ethos of the club, but then to turn it onto the fans (with a very desperate and likely untrue smearing statement re racism, what the actual eff?) and claim we aren't in line with the club ethos whilst having the audacity to reference Brother Walfrid. It's not often I get wound up by Celtic. It's just a game - I can take bad decisions, penny pinching or even bad results, but today I'm absolutely fuming.

Can it really be that the board of the club don't care what the fans think?

Do they really believe fans will blindly renew season tickets?

This clown is the very antitheses of what this club is about, he might be a good business man but he's not a good Celtic man.
