So Martin had the team in the dressing room, just before, going on to the field of dreams, giving it his motivational best, telling them to hit the Germans hard and fast, right from the off, don't give them time to settle, and we might sneak a goal or two, and he sends them out all inspired and ready to fly out of the traps, and you have the huddle and the game starts, and then some morons in the crowd throw those balls on, the whole game is disrupted, the fast start gone and the rest is history, and it's all down to the ball throwers, nothing to do with the board.

The same happened at Dens Park,
when we had a chance to go 10 points clear of Sevco against a club bottom of the league and a venue we hadn’t lost since the 1980s.
Was that also our fans fault?
Or
Was it just more excuses for another poor performance.

When it happened the camera panned to MON, who asked SM what was happening. SM told him and he responded 'Ffs'.
I did the same but suspected it was going to happen. Surely MON must have thought it might.
{Ed007's Note - Well the players knew....

I do Ed.
And it was a magnificent 2-1 victory.
I actually got the scorecast up that day with Thompson for the first goal and Celtic to win 2-1 @ 110/ 1 with Corals.
Those were the days when punters got decent Odds.
{Ed007's Note - Those were the days when players weren't pussies and fans looked for stupid excuses to cover up any honking performances from them.}

It's all balls. Players with no balls. Board members with no balls. Whilst the Demonds and Co make a balls up of everything.

Thats what I meant Ed, everyone knew it was coming, so why didn't he or did no one tell him or did he react that way as he knew the camera was on him.
{Ed007's Note - I've no idea mate but I'd expect better from MON.}

Thats what my wife said. Why did he react like that, he must have known what was coming.
We are a shambles, people need to look at themselves in the mirror and do the right thing for our club.

I was at that game. Brilliant. I saw a guy with a deckchair. :)

Yes, it was the ball throwers fault, players are human, they are psyched up for the match, and these disruptors change all that maybe there is a psychology expert on here who can explain it better, how this affects the players performance.

It lost all the energy in the crowd - all sighing and most booing - crass act with no thought to the team.
