after reading some of the posts on these pages, I must admit to being quite saddened by the attitude of some supporters with regard to the way celtic have being going about their business lately. of course football's all about opinions, but so many people seem to have such short memories. criticised for letting players go, new signings being written off before they've even played a competitive game, the green brigade situation, lack of spending. the list goes on and on. didn't we win a double and reach the last 16 of the CL last year? didn't we beat one of the greatest teams ever to have played the beautiful game on our way there? isn't our club completely debt free? haven't season tickets prices been considerably reduced for this season? isn't there still three weeks to go before the transfer window shuts? honestly, the lack of faith in the management and board some people have, truly astounds me. you don't have to look too far across the city to see what the dangers are of running a club irresponsibly. it is a privilege to support this magnificent team and the sooner some people realise it the better. I for one have total faith in the people in charge - they are all celtic men and want nothing but the best for our club - even if it means taking decisions they know they will be vilified for. I know these pages present a forum for debate but come on chaps, let's be a little more positive about things. we are celtic supporters, faithful, through and through.

Seriously; the banter and opinions on here are terrific and most of the posts have valid, thought-out content not to mention great humour.
If an opinion is thought to be off the mark - the usual suspects will usually fire-in and offer an alternative view.
There is a lot to be thankful for at Celtic but there are a few areas of concern - which you mentioned.
Since I went to my first game in the 60's, there has always been debate and differences of opinion even in the Golden Era. We all love the club and that's why we talk about it non-stop and it would be helluva boring if we all agreed or were told what to think and believe, like some clubs?!

I'm with you brother. I think some bhoys forget the circumstances this club operates in. We are doing great.
It's important all fans of all clubs keep up the highest expectation of all club employees, from boardroom to players. No sitting back on laurels.
At Celtic, fans have the highest expectation.
Ha ha! no i'm not a board member jungle jim, just forgot to sign in! I get your point, but as an example take kevin doyles prospective signing. yeah he's not the marquee signing everybody is looking for, but for gods sake, the guys not even a celtic player yet and the abuse he's been getting on these pages is shocking. neil lennon knows what he's doing, and if he wants doyle in his team then i'm more than willing to welcome the guy with open arms. anytime i've watched doyle he's gave 100%, holds the ball up brilliantly, scores the odd goal and never gives the defence a moments peace. let's give lenny a bit of credit, he certainly knows what he's doing.
