    No.

    While I understand the frustration and feel the same to an extent. I think the board are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Spend 'big' and fail to qualify doesn't work with our income.

    I think and hope the money is being kept to make sure we stay on the top of Scottish football.

    If we don't bring in some quality and get into the Europa League at the end of the month then I will be protesting against our board. They have played a massive gamble and absolutely * it. All that money over the past couple of seasons from CL and transfers and we have done nothing with it.

    I've always respected how Lwaell has run the club, but he is taking it too far. How do we every expect to get better, we have to go up the ladder and get better quality players, not stay stuck on the same rung of the ladder. We won't make the Europa league with that team.

    I wouldn't protest because what can the board realistically do, we are stuck in the spl with hardly any tv money and although we have champions league money from the last few years, If we spent it all and had a few years out of European competition then we could end up in trouble. I'd love some investment in the club, but we are at a certain level, being a big club doesnt mean anything, football is about money now. The board are making sure we stay at the top of scottish football for the moment. The only money the manager will get will be from selling players.

    Lawwell has ran the club the right way but after tonight we're heading in the wrong direction, if we keep cost cutting which seems to be every season then unfortunately i don't see us being any better than the tribute act across the city, Lawwell need's to bring in some new signings to freshen the team up or get out!

    I walked past the original/original boycotts back in 1963 or 64 but I was getting lifted over in those days.

    If people don't want to spend their hard earned dosh to see what is now on display that is entirely up to them,and if people do spend,again its up to them.
    However,I take no satisfaction in saying years ago that this shower of * running Celtic would one day soon bring this threat upon themselves.

    The fans have been voicing discontent for a few years now and don't think for one minute it is solely to do with the squad we have and the players we buy and sell,sure Celtic's financial status has vastly improved and the club accounts clearly show this however fans are * at many lingering issues ranging from the board's silence on the cheating of the dead Rangers to our inability to spend money that we actually have,even the identity of our club is in question at times. The best bank balance in a generation has resulted in the unhappiest set of fans for a generation.

    Things have to change in some way it's as simple as that,no matter how good we are told things are if fans are not happy then the problem is clear and that has to be addressed.

    Should be a protest against the players as well, some are putting absolutely no effort and showing no commitment to Celtic on the Park. The way they stroll about the park earning thousands of pounds is a * disgrace, especially when in the same city there's hundreds of people eating out of food banks.

    I ve never been one for protest s and have always backed the board, always hope for the best out of every scenario like barnes , mowbray and the likes but as we go on it always seems that your gut instict is almost always proven correct.

    My gut instinct tells me the fans are being taken for granted and Ronny is not up to the job.(cheap option,yes man)

    Altough i ve never approved of staying away from a game nothing would make an impact like an empty stadium on flag day.

    Lennon has to take some of the blame for this,* having the worst games ever and they wouldn't get dropped.
    Hope ronny drops players.

    Us normal folk have been getting fleeced for out loyalty since the O'neil days, ticket prices have gone up but the quality of player has went down, doesnt make any sense to me, going to be a long long season!

    We got what we deserved. You bring in no new players, you don't deserve to improve.

    I think the only way to make the board take notice, as has been said time and time again, is to start boycotting the games (especially home games) and hit them where it hurts; right in the pocket.

    Whether or not that happens is an entirely different story.
