    Your right. You save the last week for maybe 1 or 2 suprise signings that just happen to become available due to outside forces. Otherwise go * hard for whoever we want early. Utter morons. Time to riot.

    Directors box is going to look like the standing section at the next home game, will be about 30 stewards around it :56:

    Fans should be gathering outside CP as we speak, not watching the internet waiting for a miracle.

    The people in charge of this fiasco deserve everything they get, it's just a shame they have to drag us down with them. It's not hard. Identify players and make a long list of realistic targets for every position. Whittle that down to your preferred options. Put feelers out before transfer window opens. The second the TW is open go after the players you want and need to improve the team. If a target isn't keen or price is too high move on to another option. If an unexpected bid comes in for one of our players, and the money's too good to refuse, have a replacement lined-up before letting our guy go. Nothing hard or particularly complex about that. I said months ago, before the TW even opened, that we needed about 4 high-quality signings that would walk straight into our first 11 to improve the team. Quality not quantity. We did the exact opposite. We also sold Kyogo and Kuhn and never replaced them. How ANYONE could think the way we have handled recruitment this summer is the correct approach is mind-blowing. A child could have seen the failure coming. Those Tory swine have already cost us CL football, don't bet against them costing us the league too, despite sevco's rubbish start. They clearly mean business over there now and it's unrealistic to expect them to never challenge again. I first used the word 'sabotage' to describe what our board has done to us a few weeks back and it rings truer now than ever. How BR or anybody else can claim these people love the club is beyond me.

    The thing with a protest, we are just made out to be spoiled brats by the board and the media. Nothing happens.

    Hearts must be seriously thinking it's a once in a generation opportunity to grab the title if we don't sign anyone else.

    I'd rather that than just do nothing.

    Tbh even the rags have started to seriously auestion the boards antics.

    Michael Gannon in the record said last night he fully expected 4 in today. If we don't then * me.

    I think I'll be done with Celtic.

    My mate is already taking my season ticket. What i mean by done is usually I would make sure no matter what im doing or where in the world I was i would watch Celtic.

    Now, if im in the house and they are on then great, but if I have any other plans or out and about they can get *.

    I realise nobody else cares but in my mind it's a small get it up you to the board and actually very sad its come to this.

    I don't see any form of protest other than sack the board chants. They've played a blinder.

    International weekend. No home game till the end of the month. Folk won't boycott the Europa league, cash is in. They've already put up fences within the stands due to "overcrowding".

    This has been planned. They'll maintain silence. Wait till the AGM chuck out a prepared speech and will rectify things in January.

    * all will happen in January, cause its a hatd time to buy. Desmond fan clubs loyalist in Lennon and O'Neil will be rolled out.









    Still..... only 10 months till the end of the season.

    I have no doubt players will be in, but how good will they be. Players with * all experience on a loan with no option.

    If someone started damaging the property of board members, if going to a match became a signal to chant abusive stuff towards those same board members, it might get ugly for them.

    Our next home game is Hibernian on 27th Sept. They will hope things have subsided by then.

    This is heading for a Covid season. If Rodgers can steer this side to the title then he has earned his corn. I can see the wheels coming off the track in the next month.

    I don't think we can afford to sell Idah now.

    It's going to be EPL academy players at this rate. There is nobody left.

    It's like running into the shop at 8.55 on a Sunday evening and the shelves are bare

    I feel the same way. Funnily enough, in Rodgers' last season last time round I checked out totally. Not out of protest or anything, I just kept falling asleep during games when I watched them at home. So I just stopped watching. Literally just out of boredom.

    And I feel the same this way. Do I want to watch that squad play football week-in-week-out? No. I'll take my boys to a couple games maybe as they look forward to that, but I don't see myself going out my way to watch us play Livi at home or whatever. It's not worth my time nor money.

    I genuinely think it's different now. This sorry episode is one of the worst in living memory and surpasses anything the Kelly regime did. Even the media know the board have fecked it up and, for once, accept that we have a genuine cause to protest
