The rise of the board bots. Are X accounts being created by the Celtic board to attack fan media?
There has been a big increase in attacks on fan media on social media since Saturday, a fresh and concerted attack from the board?

Since Saturday’s wonderful statement from our supreme leader, there has been a concerted campaign on Social media, predominantly X, to attack fan media.
Let’s get one thing very straight here before I go any further.
We are the enemy in the eyes of the Celtic board.
If we weren’t considered to be an enemy, then fan media would not be banned from Celtic Park.
It won’t be long before that ban has been is in place for a year now.
Because we consistently ask hard questions, and shine a light on the board which exposes all of their mismanagement at Celtic, they hate us.
And they want to discredit us.
I can categorically say that there are two X accounts that are 100% connected to the board.
The first is 1888Seamus, and the second is the account named Siamese Bhoy.
For a long time, I have believed that 1888Seamus is none other than nepobaby, Ross Desmond himself.
I could be wrong.
But the language he consistently uses is eerily similar to that of somebody who must be very close to the board.
Siamese Bhoy, on the other hand, has been suspected to be Neil Lennon.
Others believe it’s his agent, Martin Reilly.
Whoever they are, their only purpose in life seems to be to vehemently defend the Celtic board
So vehement is their defence of the board, that if Dermot Desmond set fire to Celtic Park tomorrow, they’d find a way to blame Celtic fan media for doing it.
They will not debate with anybody.
Their modus operandi is to continually try to discredit fan media, while hiding anonymously behind their X accounts to facilitate this.
They trot out the same tried and tested lines all the time.
The unprecedented success and unprecedented financial performance lines.
The ‘fans bad’, ‘fan media are the devil incarnate’, and ‘Brendan Rodgers is the spawn of satan’, but ‘the board are the good guys’ lines.
When they are asked to debate anything, they go into hiding.
Sometimes for weeks.
But when the board launches an attack on the fans?
They all come out of the woodwork on the offensive.
They are the ultimate cowards, and they do not represent the vast majority of the Celtic fanbase
These people will not reveal their identity, despite the fact that those who challenge them openly admit who they are, and do not hide behind X accounts and some stupid handle.
So gutless are they, that they actually openly state that to reveal their identity would be fatal to their cause.
It’s as if they almost consider themselves some sort of vigilante force, designed to take down Celtic fan media.
In reality, they are pathetic.
The latest addition to this axis of cowardice on X is an account with the name of Marcus O’Ha.
His handle is @marcussOh.
This guy appears to have only really come out of the woodwork in the last few days.
He is consistently on line, jumping on everything he possibly can.
If you want to get a taste for his garbage, here is a post I put up on his account last night:
Another board lickspittle. Call him out for what he is. How sad do you have to be to have Micheal Nicholson & Dermot Desmond as your profile picture? Pathetic doesn’t do it justice. The self proclaimed ‘scrutiniser of fan media’…Go away & get a life for yourself, you sad human. https://t.co/pwZP6YIpM6

Fill yer boots after that.
He’s either a hun, or a board bot.
Either way, he needs to be exposed for what he is.
He certainly does not have the best interests of Celtic at heart, or the fanbase for that matter
None of these accounts do.
They are the defenders of a failing board.
And this board is failing miserably.
We are about to head into a weekend where we are worried about facing Motherwell at Fir Park.
People like Marcus O’Ha will tell you that people like me want Celtic to lose at the weekend.
I want Celtic win to every game they play, no matter who it is they’re playing.
I always have, and I always will.
Nobody supports a football club because they want them to lose
That defeats the whole purpose of being a football supporter.
Which is why these board bots look so idiotic when they suggest something like that.
Everybody involved in Celtic media wants a winning Celtic team, it’s all we want.
To suggest otherwise is to suit a certain narrative.
These board bots do not support a football team.
They support a regime, and a regime that is driving Celtic into the ground.
A regime that is affecting Celtic’s football results negatively, and allowing our arch rivals to become competitive again.
To suggest that fan media wants Celtic to lose, while they support the people that are causing us to lose, is the ultimate in hypocrisy.
Do not follow these fools online.
Do not give them airtime.
To do so gives the board oxygen.
And they are the last people we want to give oxygen right now.
Be smart…
