54andcounting 627 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Published on Monday 9 April 2012 03:00 Scotsman.On Saturday, fans of the club founded in 1872 chose the 18th and 72nd minutes to brandish red cards in protest at the prospect of liquidation, a solution to the ongoing crisis that would wipe the club’s history from the record books. Given the home support’s habit of leaving early for the underground, it is as well for them that the club had not been born in 1889.Says it all really!!!

allanh91 75 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Fans leaving that early should be ashamed.However, the media take another strike to make us look bad, by trying to assault the biggest positive we've had in the past few months, excluding the win against the scum, and the legends game.When is anyone going to give our club a little credit in this biased city/ country?

ChampionsAgain 1,373 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Why pay for a game then leave early? Sure there is people out there that would love to sit and watch a full game at Ibrox but can't afford it. Would rather stay to the end than get home 20 minutes early.

fog 289 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Its a 6 hour drive each way for me and I've never left a game early Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottonRunt 978 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 The media feel free to point this out but not to point out the attacks on buses by the Celtic support.Just about sums the country up at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottonRunt 978 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I do admit that i have left early, but maybe by about 2 mins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEE 4,880 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I left the first Chelsea friendly 20 minutes early to meet a female, missed two goals and the burd was half an hour late - never again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamess 3,448 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Times have changed. We need to show support at the start of every game, throughout the game, and regardless of result, clap them off the park at the end. You can't do this if your out the stadium. The subway Loyal just don't get this. So many spaces at the end on Sat did my head in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_ger 1,454 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I almost always stay to the end and go to the district bar for a few pints after a game till the subway calms down. It is a right pain in the arse though if you need to be back in town sharpish after the game. Leaving early to beat the horrendous que is the only option. With every other man leaving early it's a snowball effect! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markem 7,305 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Papers make me fucking laugh. The support we have shown our club this year is perhaps unparalleled (it certainly is in this country) and they come away with that. Not surprising but utterly pathetic.

If you end up in a huge subway que it is hard to tell exactly when you will get to where you need to be. I am not saying no one deserves to be criticised for leaving early but to call them all selfish is way off. At the end of the day, people pay for their tickets and pay for food and merchandise that goes to the club.Would you prefer that they just didn't bother turning up and paying in the first place?

BEE 4,880 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 In reality what amount of those that leave early have what's been described as an, 'acceptable reason' here. Very few IMO, most leave to miss the traffic or get the subway early. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
