    * sake, this is a joke. Atmosphere is the 12th man at Parkhead and it will likely be average again because of this.

    As it stands right now the front is still closed and dialogue from the GB to the club has not been great, also not sure how they would go about arranging payment and activating season books this late, if it was to be sorted, as i said not looking good.

    Time for every other * in that stadiun to stand up and be counted then, instead of depending on (no offence) our wee corner of cheerleaders!

    You can’t go from two games to announcing more what’s the script here

    Can SPFL teams not choose to postpone one match per season? Surely we should postpone the Killie game on Saturday?

    Going into these games playing a midfielder at centre back is a * joke and 30 million down the drain if we fail to qualify.
    So only the board to blame for this if that happens as we are also short at left back as well .

    I'm sure we've done it before... for unimportant "money spinning" friendlies.

    We should be doing it v Killie given that we have to travel a long distance to that * hole in what will be our more important game of the season.

    Bringing on Rogic for either Armstrong or Ntcham at some point.

    Why does the club insist on there being a bad feeling going into this game? Claiming there's going to be signings and none materialising, loudest section of the support banned, midfielders at CB. We keep making it hard on ourselves.

    Starting with a massive YNWA as the players take to the field, always gets the crowd going that :celt_2:

    Have to say, that if we fail to qualify then the blame will lie directly with the board, we have had 3 weeks to bring in a suitable cb. It's not as though we didn't need another one before boyata and simunivic got injured

    Disappointing we haven't made at least another signing that could improve the first 11.

    Shocking stuff from the board and to a certain extent the manager if we go into this with the squad we have.

    From the we only need one more in, to we cant sign another top striker to upset the bhoys in place etc etc.

    You only get back what you put in, fed up with the we tried statements, Bitton at CB will have Astana players rubbing their hands, IF we where to go out would put a dampner on the season from the start for me.

    If Griffiths or Broony get booked thats them out the return leg or worse still what if Griff gets injured plus dont think Griffiths will last 90 minutes in either leg, shambles!

    Suprised how many people are worried. I agree 100% we should of went into this game with a proper CB/RW but i think we'll win by a couple of goals to 0. Maybe it's just blind optimism :fear:

    How good would it be if we had the same type of section but on the opposite side?

    Would be * class :party22:

    They're a decent enough side. Big and strong and not bad technically. We really need runners in behind to stretch their defence. Sinclair will be key.
