Was there a time when any of the previous boards, were more social consciously alligned with the support?
Not that I can think of no.

IMO Bankiers made a massive eff up here and should potentially walk for it, perhaps there was a racial abuse somewhere on scoial media but I havent seen it and he should have been more careful in his wording.

As for Livingston I think the whole thing is a sideshow, folk want him out and everyone hates tories but he doesen't have to walk. His voting on the cuts goes against the politics of most of the celtic support and its possibly morally objectionable but he hasn't done something which of direct detrement to the football club imo.

The board should be getting pressed on the what strategy they have, if any, to avert some the stagnation at the club right now. If the best they've got is 'wait for sevco to appear' then thats simply not good enough.

See, that falls into the cutting your nose off to spite your face category.

Do we really want to further weaken the team on the pitch in an attempt to bring the club forward?

There are enough ways to subtly let the club know enough is enough from Bankier/Livingston.

Such as? What do they understand apart from income streams?
A concerted effort from the fans. When we stand up in the right numbers they can't not take notice.

When (and not if) enough fans groups, message boards, supporters clubs and social media platforms speak with the one voice it will be enough.

There is no way the club or the playing squad can afford a boycott. I don't think it has to even be threatened.

This :thumbsup:

A season book boycott impacts the quality of the team, and guarantees no CL football, and further damage to our coefficient.
a single season boycott would make the point without doing too much long term damage.

it's not like we would've made a big money signing in the next year or so anyway and it might give them a kick up the arse they need.
I posed a hypothetical suggestion. I took the time to say that nothing should be rushed and much considered debate required.

Views on this and other boards are not representative of the broader support.

Given the state of our squad, and other issues, it will be 2 years minimum before we qualify for the Group Stages of CL.. The blame for that lies firmly and squarely on the sloppy shoulders of our illustrious board who get more from Celtic than they deserve, even if some receive no payment.

Hypothetically speaking, what would have happened in our battle with the old board and Celts for Change, and individual fan action. We know the answer to that.

My fear is that, due to our decline, Celtic's qualification for the Champions League group stages will become a rarity

Realistically speaking the two situations are nothing to do with one another and conflating the two is strawman arguing to the point of ridiculousness and beyond

Is the Game Off ?
[ *  *  * ]
I remember Danny Baker commenting about removing directors from football clubs.
His solution was simple and cheap. Fans start chanting the names of the directors with a GTF message.
As directors like to sit in the comfy chairs with all the hospitality benefits, entertaining friends and families.
The last thing they would like is having 90 minutes of named abuse, while scoffing champagne and canapes.

Hard to laugh it off if it happens at every game...

Not that I'm suggesting that of course.

I'm in the "tar and feather them on the pitch at half time" camp. All for charideee of course.

no. not even jock brown and the guy that had previous for being a hun come close to this mob.
You have completely misread this guys question, so I will rephrase it. When did Celtic ever have a remotely left wing board?

No, he's worse. The Tories never pretend to be anything other than insufferable arseholes but they represent their supporters wishes and ideologies fairly well. Reid & his merry men betrayed the folks who trusted them and left the world in one hell of a state.

Crap like this doesn't even enrage me the way it used to. This Celtic board have sucked the life out the club to the point there is absolutely nothing indistinguishable between us and any other club on the planet. 'A Club Like No Other'? I'd love to see what they believe sets us apart, as a club, from anyone else.

I can handle the fact that as I've got older, and football has got more and more corrupt, catered to a different audience and filled with players making a disgusting amount of money, my love and enjoyment has waned considerably. When Celtic just become a diet version of this I find it hard to get angry the way I used to.

We are a club going absolutely nowhere
