We actually played some good football under Gio the season we got to the EL final. We seemed to have ridiculous fitness levels aswell and somehow could play in Europe on a Thursday and then take the taigs to extra time on the Sunday in the Scottish cup semis and win.

After the CL qualifiers of the next season he for some reason scraped everything good from the previous season though. 

Beale was given the run of the place and we’ve been an absolute circus since 

The preseason under Gio was a shambles. Think he was a great cup manager but was very inept in the league.

FFS mate knew it was a brain fart. Was just cause you'd been angry but not noticed 👍

Yeah brain not engaged mate.

Tbh my post about apathy is personal.

My old man can’t go to Hampden due to mobility so Saturday was a solo, then me and no.2 tonight and it’s fucking soul destroying not being at Ibrox.

My seats are in CR3 and I would gladly sit in the gaff and play in front of 3 stands until it’s ready.

The fans tried like fuck to lift the team but as soon as the first went in it was like the air emptied in the place.

Who’s taking over from the board when they’re chased btw? This is the thing that nobody can ever answer.

I’d love a change of board and fresh investment, but no cunts plowing money into a Scottish football club unless they support the club. Clearly we have nobody like that or it would have happened years ago

The guys can plow whatever money they want into it, even though they haven't for a long time. Doesn't mean they should be running the club. They should relieve all control.

There's a danger this snowballs even further. If we're 6 or 7 points behind by early September, crowds at Hampden will start to dwindle. Probably a poor uptake in EL tickets. Without a big change will probably not do well in thw EL. Coefficient down the toilet. Further spiral.

Potential to get proper grim.

Fuckin 10 minutes of "nothing else matters" at half time. 

Two games in a row we’re getting Metallica, load of shite. Erasure wasn’t bad right enough

Atmosphere after we went down to 10 men was superb.

Going to get this on a print next to my "Live.Laugh.Love" poster.

The Parks and Bennett. They are completely incompetent of running a football club. Should not be any part of the board.

Start to dwindle? The East stand was nearly empty tonight

Usually get the European games every season through my mate. Not a fucking chance I'm going to pay to sit in Hampden in the cold and pishing rain to watch us get skelpt about off 3 teams.

Support have had enough of Hampden already. Only reason it will be anywhere near full in the league is because of the season tickets.

There were a number of things that led to 39k today, not all particularly negative and some understandable. What I mean is it'll simply become people staying away.

Aye deffo, cause once they're gone big Phil will have us flying 

Not much to be done about anything until the clown at the top is gone.  Didnt say we'd be flying, just got to start somewhere and its definitely not with a manager with a shiny new contract.

Beale was given the run of the place and we’ve been an absolute circus since 

He won’t get anyone giving him credit for it but we were very good under Beale for a few months in that first season.

Hearts and Hibs away we were incredibly good.

Falling short in the final and semi-final in games that were fairly even rightly left him empty in goodwill, and then he monumentally fucked it in the summer and with whatever he was trying to do with no wingers.

Agree with you on Gio, looked to have gotten the measure of Postecoglu towards the back end of the season and then we looked like we were back to square one in that first OF of the next season.

Lot's of good points, especially in the op, but seeing Alex Rae cutting about the club really pisses me off!

If anyone thinks that once a chairman is gone the cunt leading the charge in the digout will be worth it is beyond me

He's a wee dick and tried to embarrass me at a speakers night all because he forgot he was the first player in Scotland in modern times to be done by trial by media via CSKA

Gio had his faults but one thing that always sticks out to me is the clip of him at that parkhead game his second season 

There's a clip you see him going mental at the side line telling our players to switch on as they take a quick free kick which leads to Jotas goal 

Instead of respond half our played looked around hopelessly
