    Difficult week to be honest,but also in the last week we have found out more about each other than we ever have to be honest.

    There seems to be a large breakdown between fans the board and the staff now....so much hatred (even on the forums).

    Lawell hasn't done himself any favours at all this week,and after hearing about todays clampdown and intimidation of fans that have attempted to emulate the sad breaking up of the Green Brigade,is beyond shocking....seeing the pics from parkhead of stewards surrounding pockets of fans in * despicable today IMO.

    I am a great fan of Lennon but getting really fed up with his Subs/tactics sometimes....not taking some of the blame....or giving out too much blame when not needed......he is a great guy and tbh a great manager at times (one of our best) but recently his attitude also stinks....which is a shame,but maybe this is down to frustration in the money/players department.

    We are in a dangerous place at the moment....we should be pulling away from the SPFL for many many years to come but seem to be squandering that chance.....money as usual...but then again who wants to join Celtic in this league as it is....so difficult one to state.

    The forums are full of hatred,many have their own opinions and that's fine but we are splitting up...turning against many people,going into groups...which is a shame.

    I hope we can all get outta this,but it looks like Lawell/Lennon etc are in for a tough ride over the next 6 months I think....


    Anyways.....how can the board/staff and us change whats going on? If we can?

    Yep.

    Can't see a way out of it to be honest.

    I don't feel as if i'm welcome at Celtic Park anymore.

    The past few months have certainly been an eye opener for the majority of fans. The rest of the stadium are getting a little taste of what the GB have been dealing with for some time now; over active stewarding, no doubt under the instruction of the board and more specifically, Lawwell.

    It certainly makes me uncomfortable seeing fans being told to sit down and essentially not make any noise. Some of the images circulating at today's game are pathetic and quite frankly disturbing.

    Reckon a standing section would help matters greatly, can't see it happening any time soon....... maybe getting the Police to take cameras out of peoples faces would help aswel

    Talking should be banned at Celtic Park as well. It puts the players off and it disturbs the people in the corporate boxes. The only time fans should be allowed to open their mouths while inside the stadium is to eat the pies, pizza or chips they have bought from the kiosks.

    As much as it pains me to say it, we'll eventually all move on and continue as normal. If Lawwell goes through with his plan to split up & relocate the Green Brigade we'll see a kick up about it, some fans may even leave and never return, but we'll get past it.

    We've seen a number of fans boycott the game today (the exact numbers can't obviously be determined), and we'll maybe see the same for our game with Hearts, but you can bet your bottom dollar that no one will be boycotting a cup semi-final or final.

    It's unfortunate, but things couldn't go on as they have been. A section of our support are causing issues for the club as a whole, bring both negative attention and fines.

    That's not on I'm afraid.

    Said it as soon as the GB were disbanded the stewards and police would be instructed to go after the smaller groups who would no doubt congregate around the stadium to try and get a sing song going.

    The pictures today prove this to be the case.

    Phase two if you like, they've divided and now it's time to conquer.

    We won today yet I feel no happiness or joy at it, I'm * off with reports I've been reading today regarding the fans, if Lennon doesn't come out and support us the fans then he should walk away from the job we've stuck with him and the team through tough times and we need his support during our tough time

    If there were to be boycotts of future home games, then Lawwell would be quick enough to have a word with the stewards and ensure that there were no future problems with the policing in the stadium.

    As soon as you start hitting the finances of the club, Peter will begin to sweat. Maybe this is the only solution.

    It depends which side of the fence you sit on.

    Football wise were very strong in the league, Unbeaten and we will win another title. We can't and won't smash every team we play. Still in the Scottish cup we're in a great position to do the double.

    We where found out in the champions league, In truth we could've won at least two more games if luck had been on our side. Nothing unexpected though considering the opposition we played.

    The problems with the fans have been brought on by those constantly flouting team rules.. Times have changed and we can't get away with it anymore. People just do what they want then cry foul when they get punished for it.

    No but people tend to dramatize (spelling) stuff on a daily basis. Why would the club fall apart because of some * scumbag * who run rampage like huns on other teams stadiums chairs etc got banned? Those kind of fans is what you normally see at Rangers / millwall and i personally want them to be long away from the club. I envy those who can go to games every week but they clearly are just there for trouble or showing of their political standpoint. Jesus christ. Obviously not all GB members.
