    The folk that put up the ‘shoot the board’ banner are * idiots and absolute clowns.

    It appears it’s no me that’s the bed wetting snowflake upon reflection.

    Some great banners and activism from those young fans. I wonder if the Celtic Trust fan ownership model could really take off in the next 5-10 years. The seeds have now been planted. I'd like to see it. Celtic fans in charge of Celtic, what a thought. Safe standing extended throught the stadium. We'd be a left wing poltical force in itself and promote the clubs values. I'm all for it sign me up. I'm sure it would make supporting celtic all the more enjoyable by being a custodian of the club.

    I also think It's so bizarre to be on the verge of a quadruple treble, and for this to be happening. I suppose its testiment to the teams success of the last decade. Personally, Lennon doesn't stand a chance now. How on earth can the team expect to win these games until January with the fans completely against them? He lost the dressing room as well long ago. The team are stuck in a rut. The board know this. This is a once off special season as well going for the Holy Grail! Despite this, It's like they have chosen to fall on their own swords. The decision to keep Lennon is bonkers. A calamitous act of self harm playing out before us. For lawell, Bankier, some and Desmond, on a personal level you think they would like to remain in control of Celtic. You would also expect Lawell to act in the best wishes of fan base and the financial health of the club. How can they not see this situation playing out before them? They must also recognise that they have made their own positions untenable! On a personal level for them what an absolute fiasco turning the support against you. I think they'll be off after this season, It's obvious. Lawell with retire. Desmond will sell his shares and spend the rest of his life playing golf or whatever he does 365 days of the year he's not at Parkhead. Does that seem plausible?

    Unfortunately the board won't give one single * about any banners.

    Sticking up an old banner from the clubs past has got you upset, cause the MSM will be writing about how terrible it all is. Geez peace.

    It’s a bed sheet, no ones going to be shot guys.

    The level of revisionism from an element of our support tonight is off the charts

    @Random Review has summed it up perfectly, you don’t get away with those types of things these days. I don’t make the rules.

    The several meat wagons and tens of polis wouldn’t be there but for that banner, a total shot in the foot.

    Protests against the board will be back in the news tomorrow. For the good or for the bad, it’s a reminder that last nights statement has changed * all.

    This isn’t going away.

    The only thing that is counterproductive right now is keeping Neil Lennon in a job.

    It is however laughable to try and compare the board now, with the one that almost forced us in to a hunlike liquidation in the 90s.

    In these ridiculously politically correct times when folk seem to be permanently offended or afraid to even speak the truth I commend the GB for using their initiative and creative talent to get the message out there and keep it there.

    On the park, I couldn’t agree with you more. Which is why I have an issue with the tangent that a single banner will take the narrative.

    Not sure if that’s directed at me. I’ve merely compared two fan protests, not the legitimacy of either.

    One was acceptable, the other isn’t it seems.

    I'm outraged that they gave it to the one guy that couldnt spell "board" to paint! Useless * had one job Haha.

    At least it was spotted and rectified.
