    Having the stadium exterior come down in a February storm and still not be repaired in September.

    Not investing a penny in a quickly aging stadium that won’t be fit for purpose in less than a decade.

    Got a bye in to the Europa League after getting battered by Sion of Switzerland a few years before that as well under similar circumstances.

    This transfer window. Easy as that you've just experienced first hand the most * act you could ever wish for. I can't remember ever feeling more detached from the club.

    Refusing to pay the requested fee for Breum and incrementally raising the bid by a few hundred thousand over the course of a month.. only to end up paying a higher fee for a secondary target while Breum is still available.

    Refusing to work with the manager over transfers in a year where we were trying to stop Rangers' 10IAR, leading to his all-but confirming his departure long before the season was won.

    I dont know what the f#ck is going on with us just now, but for a board that prides itself on profit; it's an utter mess how we've missed out on moving players on and strengthening.

    F#cking loosening the CL money.

    F#ck them. Accounts, not support

    Hail Hail.

    Play 200 mins and not score a single goal and then sell your best striker and dont replace him.

    Signing Willo Flood instead of paying 3.5 million for Steven Fletcher in WGS last transfer window then handing them the Oldco 3 in a row which kept the lights on.

    Using Celtic nearly going bust as justification for serving Lidl own-brand digestives instead of Hobnobs in the meeting rooms. With a note saying one per person.

    Are we allowed to get creative here? :68:

    Still watching games with steel beams blocking the view in 2025.

    The Bobo Balde fiasco. Strachan being told by that fat greaseball * Lawwell not to play Balde who was earning a fortune in weekly wages and who was our best defender.

    A lot of good things in the past ten years, if not longer only happened by accident or pure fluke.

    For example, Rodgers first stint when DD took the hump at how he was treated at the cup game against Rangers leading to the invincible season or the Eddie Howe fiasco that got us Ange.

    We stumble into good times and then are surprised when we end up in the *.

    Another Nicholson special of not answering the phones for a month. Ridiculous.

    Signing Ajeti instead of Toney to get it up Barry Fry. That turned out well.
