I personally felt uncomfortable with grown adults making wanker gestures toward her, giving her the finger and screaming that she was a fucking slut etc who should fuck off back to Belgium. No problem with the 'we want our club back', 'you don't know what you're doing' and the 'you're not fit to run our club' chants etc but such personal abuse? No sorry.
I also didn't feel she was laughing at us, certainly ill advised without a doubt to put herself in the firing line with tensions running high
The football club is clearly being run in a way which has alienated a lot of fans and I recognise fans' frustrations.
se9addick I watched the protest from the stadium side and just felt sorry for Katrien as a human being having to face a congregation of men shouting abuse at her.

So Katrien deserves credit for going up to a window and laughing at those protesting?
You must be having a laugh. KM deserves nothing but criticism for the quite frankly disgusting attitude she showed towards the fans this afternoon.
agree .. She was happy talking to supporters outside club shop and main entrance then she was in Bartrums taking time to talk to people ...
I would be laughing only seeing 300 turn up ...... out of 10000 season ticket holders all fuss about nothing
Colin I've never posted anything about your posts and have assumed you just have an opinion that is 180 degrees from mine. But you're making me cross now. I've also never posted anything about PL54's posts. I assume you are either the same person or related?

For balance: Re. Smiling and taking photos. I'm pleased she was taking photos, and emailing them to Roland to let him know the extent of fans feelings. That would be a sensible thing to do. As for the smiles, I think we can run and run with interpretation of why, it could be relief, it could be nerves, it could be smiling at the content of a banner, or seeing so many of Roland's faces. It could be that she knows she'll unveil Curbs and Kermorgant at the end of the international break . It's equally a jump the assume that he was laughing at the Charlon fans considering them mugs.
Either way things need to change, well done to all those who made their voices heard today.

ohh ffs there were plenty of women there as well from what I could see
Meire isn't pulling the trigger but she has shown utter contempt for the supporters with her own relationship with them. I remember the fans forum last year, she was cocky, sarcastic and rude, at the first point of criticism which, in that environment, was as polite as you were going to get she was rude and brash. She has failed to show any modesty throughout this entire process since he bought the club, with the exception of shutting her mouth up until today.
I respect people's right to protest and think it has an important place in society.
When I walked past the protest at about 2.50 it looked like a bunch of aggressive yobs swearing and frothing at the mouth.
The fact that she turned up and took it on the chin shows some bottle.
None of the videos support anything you claim. I also suspect you are blissfully / deliberately unaware of her track record if you think she's hard done by or has done nothing to piss everyone off
This is a woman who has completely gone to ground since Luzon was fired. A decent CEO would at least face the media and not hide like a coward. Agree there should not be personal abuse as that hands her a moral high ground she is completely undeserving of. But she is unfit to run a club (or run much) and a disgrace professionally. In the name of God, Katrien, go.

I was addressing comments made by some members about my failure to mention there were women at the protest.
