Gaslighting at it's best. We are doing nothing and their is nothing you can do.

"They informed us that they were not aware who made the decision to remove fan media access. "
That is incredible. Absolute spineless cretins. They truly hate the support, I don't think we're anything more than an inconvenience to them.
Last night was a new low point for this club and it's fans in a season full of them.
I have zero confidence anything will change in a meaningful way. Absolutely sick of them.

Every reply sounds like doing fuck all in the hope that it all peters out. If the individual board member have no authority to make decisions ( aside from the mystery individual who banned fan media) , all you’re going to get is meetings about meetings about meetings.
They hope the fans die of old age before they do. These meetings are the equivalent of playing for time, and utterly pointless.
{Ed007's Note - That's exactly why the protests need to be ramped and kept up.

Couldn’t agree more. This board aren’t taking any of this seriously!

Boycott the cup game against sevco.

It frustrates the life out of me how this spineless board seem to avoid taking any responsibility for how our great club has imploded this season. We should be miles ahead.
I still think the league is there to be won and we do need all the supporters pulling in the same direction to support the team.
However I absolutely despise this board and the pressure must be maintained to show how badly this board has mismanaged our great club.

I know every person has their own view of the board but after this statement from the board I don't see how any fans can continue to back the board. a lot of eyes will have been opened today.
{Ed007's Note - Is anyone REALLY backing the board? For me it's more they supporters want to kick the can down the road, play the long game etc maybe hoping we win the league and get back to the Status Quo?
Why does it need to be so divisive if everyone wants the best for Celtic?

Ed people are funny things, everyone wants the best for Celtic, so we all have to be united, but I think the board are trying to divide the support.
{Ed007's Note - That's exactly what they are trying to do and sadly some people are allowing to happen. They tried to arrange different meetings - some were offered "informal meetings" or cosy wee chats - with different groups for exactly that reason but it was so transparent nobody fell for it
