    The thing I always tend to find is those who are so against these type of protests haven't been to a game in years but will gladly tell you what you should do with your ticket and how to support the team.

    If you want to go in after 12 do it if you don't then don't nobody will stop you it's that simple.

    It’s 12 minutes…. And as we know… there are players who feel the same way as the supporters..

    Hopefully they take it as a message of support .. and a massive two fingers to the plc.

    I feel a lot more needs done though.. but it just can’t happen with the ‘do as you please’ acceptance from a huge proportion of the ‘support’.

    Just remember it's early days, it's a show of intent towards the board. I hope that our initial start to the match isn't a costly one and the influx of our supporter's goes smoothly without incident. Then we can get really get behind the team and be as vocal as possibly while their on the field. Half-time and the final whistle the board should be given both barrels but while the teams out, 'Back the Bhoys, and Sack the Board". :ynwacelti

    Totally. If anything this window has made it more public the unprofessional nature of our dealings with other clubs, players both former and of other clubs, publicly stating how we * them about.

    Then for the club to come out ans blame everyone else, basically gaslighting the support, has fuelled this even more.

    Multiple windows we can point to as well.
    Pretty much only last summer is passable at a low level of backing the manager, the only window out of 5 transfer windows he's been back for.

    Ange was here for 4 windows and first window he had to drag them through it, got what he wanted initially before January opened but after that fell on its * again. 1.5 windows 2 if being nice, out of the 4.

    Lennon got "backed" in the COVID season, but very similar to this window we've just had. But shafted as well at times.

    Rodgers left because of how the windows had started to turn in to disaster, McGinn saga to name one.

    Deila handed players basically, could we argue any of them was his signings?

    Lennon left citing ambition as well, getting shafted.

    Willow flood window.

    Downsizing under WGS.

    Mon "get used to life in the slow lane"

    Every manager basically can point to the club shafting them and * over the squad and ambition with transfers.

    But as you say, even all these years of windows, this isn't the only issue at play.

    Hoarding of cash

    Treatment of fans. Not just the GB and the ultras.
    The way the club don't defend the support against media authorities or anyone.

    The state of the stadium.

    The constant chat about developments of museums and hotels only to never be seen. We joked about Huns and floating pitches and casinos. We are just as bad.

    The job for the boys, no one can defend it and pretend it doesn't happen, not with a straight face.

    The half arsed symbolic sacking and resignations of staff, only for nothing to change or the same guys get another job within the club.

    The fact no one on our board has a single grain of sporting experience before coming to Celtic. Meaning it's all an echo chamber and no one has a fresh approach.
    The fact the board have lasted as long as they have.
    The fact the board appoint "independent" members, but they've outstayed a time scale that should be classing them as "independent" with zero changes happening to freshen the board up.

    The lack of real investment in to the first team squad for Europe.

    The lack of real investment in to the academy.

    The symbolic "pathway" job, yet no one is getting a pathway to the first team?
    The fact that we have only produced 6-7 passable squad - good players for the first team (CalMac, Forrest, KT, Welsh, Ralston) with no sign of anything really being done to help develop the talent.

    The fact we compare ourselves to the Huns far too much and seem unable to thus compare to European clubs we should be competing with.

    The constant shafting of the fans financially. Okay Adidas are to blame for the merchandise, but the club does nothing to help this by allowing it, with ticket prices and match day item prices etc.

    The lack of an actual modern footballing department.

    The lack of transparency across the club


    Just to name a few.

    For me this summer window was just the tipping point really over a way of running the club that has hurt us on the field in particular but also off the field for years.

    Totally.
    We've known celtic have been difficult to deal with, and fair dos has on occasions spent on a big transfers....but we also rarely have a net loss when ot comes to it.

    Rodgers got shafted second tkme around and they tried to make it up last summer. But we still made more than we spent.

    Now we.are seeing ex players. Other clubs and players we try to sign publicly saying we are very unprofessional and absolute chancers.
    They thought, stupidly, we would lie back and accept it. Such short memories after covid season
