    It's not even just the "happy clappers". It's the grumbly ones that just grumble. A protest in front of CP and the board room tonight or tomorrow would send a message. Or even better, do it now and then again when the season ends, regardless of the success in the league/Scottish Cup/Europe.

    I'm sure people would riot if we lose the league. The trick is bothering to do it when things are okay, just to force the board to change direction.

    Ofcourse. If this was an ange window everyone would be thinking it was great since we are used to no name random players from places we've never heard of. Yet because it's Rodgers every player we've signed is apparently below the required qaulity because they haven't played in the epl and we all expected a couple names weve atleast heard of. Think it's a bit daft. People need to give it time and back him and the team and watch them flourish. I'm personally really excited for the next couple months with champions league etc yet this place you'd think we just lost the league and not sitting on top.

    Thing is I was the one who was hoping to be taking abuse from others for being wrong.

    I just don't understand what we are doing. I'm a moany * by nature but doesn't mean I'm no less of a Celtic fan as others have suggested.

    We really could kick on for many years to come but just reluctant to do so

    The quality of the signings is not why people feel disappointed. I'm sure some of them will come through good.

    The problem is the positions of the signings. We have failed to improve the quality of our weak points or get players in to replace the positions that we have players that do not suit the play style of the new manager.

    What was the point of Rodgers coming back he done the invincible season won a couple of trebles so he had nothing to prove there unless he was promised funds for a chance in Europe maybe not champions League but maybe Europa League.
    Well tell you right now what we have spent so far we wouldn't make a dent in the conference league and I think he must be pretty * off at the moment what's being brought in .
    So when we are getting pumped in the champions League don't get angry at Rogers it's the board you should be mad at and I'm pretty * off just now with the board.

    After refreshing all day think I will check back in around 9pm or so for the meltdown of which I will be fully part of.

    You're almost scared to say anything when it comes to the * across the road for two reasons.

    You're made out to be a panty wetter or you're obsessed with them. We lose this game on Sunday, knowing how * mince they are, and it will be * mental in here and rightfully so. Then, all you'll get is * coming out with the usual pish patter "* are desperate to see us lose so they can be proven right"... * stupid argument.

    It's absolutely staggering that this board/majority shareholder has managed to take the club down this path. After the highs of last season, everyone was pulling together. You then appoint a manager who literally splits the support right down the middle. Then, you don't give him the money/tools to put together a team to play his style of football? It's utter * madness. Then, after getting spanked out of the cup with a whimper and dropping points against the worst team in the league, at home, you bring in another project, an emergency centre back whos played less than 100 games at the age of 26 and a Left Winger who's probably not going to be as good as the one you had before. All after your manager has asked for more quality and not quantity. Beggars belief.

    This club * scunners me at times. Thought we were meant to have moved on from this nonsense? Utter * lunacy.

    100%, people throwing their toys out the pram and pretty much writing off most of our new signings based on very little. I'll be raging if we don't get a LB in today because it's so glaringly obvious Taylor isn't up to standard as a more traditional FB, but there's nothing about the singings we have made that I see any reason to be worried or upset about, really don't get this response to them.

    A starting 11 who created more goal scoring opportunities than psg and conceded less than psg, who topped their group.

    The difference was the quality of finishing and the keeper/defence. Have the strikers developed more to become more ruthless? I'd say less nervous now as its not their first go. So possibly. Keeper? * it.

    Defence? Fixed it if we never Brendan speciality with injury.

    We have alot to be positive about. Time will tell if I'm overly positive and everyone's just gagging for a big name. We shall see. Get 3rd in this group and it'll be some improvement.

    That's just nonsense mate. The signings after Ange's first season took a bit of a nosedive in quality so saying "everyone would be thinking it was great" is pish.

    Regardless of who the manager is, the majority of signing being young and relatively untested players from Korea, Australia and Scandinavia isn't going to be received with much enthusiasm. The bit about the EPL is pish as well.

    You saying it's a bit daft sort of says it all. You strike me as the sort to find it difficult to criticise the club for whatever reason. Genuinely, people coming out of this window happy about our business are off their * head. It's just being happy to eat the utter * the club are feeding you.

    You can be guaranteed that Rodgers isn't particularly thrilled about this window if that's our business done. In one of his first interviews he spoke about adding power and pace to the team. Who have we signed with those characteristics? Palma?

    The one player everyone creams themselves about is some failed epl winger from wolves. Point proven. Yet we've signed yang an untested young winger who so far unsettled is doing brilliant. That's my point. Could we have done things faster? * aye. I don't know what players said no etc though.

    This window has been * horrendous.

    Absolute Embarrassment from the club. We are weaker than last season and for * months we have known what was needed to make us better.

    First decent draw in the champions league as well and we are * throwing it away yet again.

    * shambles, people who run our club are * *.

    How you can compare those two, and come out with Yang being on top is quite incredible.

    Podence - the "failed EPL winger" - scored 6 goals in the league last season. Yang scored scored 1 in the Korean league. Could Yang end up being class? Of course. But right now Podence is a far, far more accomplished and better footballer. It's not remotely close.

    Also, saying Yang is doing brilliant so far is yet another exaggeration from you. He's had a couple of decent/good cameos. Nobody has been close to brilliant so far.

    Fair enough you're trying to be positive but don't just come up with utter drivel to try and prove a point.

    Podence isn't a failed EPL winger. He's being kept out of the team so they can sell him.

    He was playing for them regularly last season and scored 6 goals. Yang scored 1 goal this season before we signed him from the K-League. 1 goal.

    You’ve described the game of football in one sentence there mate :56:

    We didn’t win a game. End of story.

    We had glaring deficiencies then, and even more so now. Many more.

    There is not a lot to be positive about. The way our club is run, and the way it plateaus and stagnates after the slightest whiff of sustained success, does my * box in.

    Almost like they tease us every so often with how great things can be if we operate efficiently and to our true potential. It’s scunnering.

    It's honestly utter madness in here. Yang looked good against St Johnstone but conjured up nothing. That's the * reality. Raw as * and that's what is getting classed as "class" these days.

    I don't know why I'm wasting my time to be honest.

    Trying to convince yourself that Yang is a better player and a better signing than Podence is the ultimate happy clapping nonsense. It's beyond embarrassing.

    Pukki was pish here and about won the golden Boot in the epl. Means nothing. Let the new players settle. If we're still looking * in 6 weeks then we can riot.
