I suspect they are being respectful to the fans who have wanted to give Karl Robinson a chance and given the relative lack of enthusiasm for the last in-game protest (the taxis). Let's face it, we have been here before and it wasn't long before we were all in full revolt again. We are more of a Player Farm than ever before, the first team budget continues to shrink and the hopeless Katrien Meire is still directing traffic. The only real difference is actual home attendances are down by c 50% so matchday protesting is understandably less effective.
It's probably a tough one, last years the protests were very large and visually impressive because they attracted hundreds (possibly thousands). However as attendances have gone off a cliff and thus fewer people are in attendance any protests this season are going to look weaker in comparison, which would undermine the objective.

Taking the protests to Belgium seems the most effective route. Roland certainly has been hopping about since his birthday was spoiled.
So, what has happened to CARD. It's gone awfully quiet.
Not every cause that is just, political or otherwise, has to keep shouting all the time... Sometimes the sensible ones take stock, assess their enemies and go again when the time is right.
It's important to bear in mind that we are in a war, as declared by Katrien Meire herself. And like most wars, that could last years so people should take a long term view of the campaign. In any war there is a time to attack, and a time to dig in, to take stock, build resources. There will be ebbs and flows in the fighting, but I know that CARD remains resolute in it's goals and in it's determination.
At present, I am sure that CARD are watching and evaluating the business done by the club during the transfer window, seeking to evaluate what that says about Duchatelet's intentions. The content and tone of Karl Robinson's comments about the quality of the squad and required reinforcements is already changing. It would be easy to draw conclusions from that and the business done so far, but let's see what else happens in the next couple of weeks.
Meanwhile planning continues and I'm sure that CARD will be ready to resume visible protest activity as and when the time is right.
Not really, no it isn't. And I doubt anyone would take the terminology literally.
But correct me if I'm wrong, but that was the stupid terminology our PR-prepped CEO used on national radio though, wasn't it?
The stupid terminology 'war' along with 'civil war' was being bandied about on here long before it was referred to as such by that woman, who added, '...If you can call it that.' Of course it isn't a war: It's just people doing something we don't like.
The analogy is relevant in that it's important to take a long term view of the campaign against the regime. It will take as long as it takes. There will be times when attack is appropriate and others when it isn't. That could go on for years and we have to be ready for that. When the end comes I think it will come quickly, but in the meantime there will be ebbs and flows.
Nothing would be better then to get Meire and Roland out.
Unless he dies or whatever, Roland out, is in Roland's hands.
It's even harder to get a narcissist to do something like sell a football club on the back of a damaged ego.
He said he doesn't give in to blackmail.
He doesn't want to be told what to do.
The football itself....maybe it's improving, maybe there's a little momentum in the dressing room and perhaps a fresh outlook going into the next games.
I'm absolutely not convinced by Karl Robinson in the slightest. A bit of time COULD prove otherwise. Don't count on it is all I'm saying.
Getting to know the network part 3 will be interesting.
I hope it puts the knife in and twists it in a way that absolutely humiliates Roland.
He locks himself in his shed and sells every club he has. Giving life to those clubs once more.
Katrien probably ends up signing on at eltham job centre
Robbo said he was going to splash some cash. If he does not get anyone in better than he has so far then both he and us will know that nothing has changed.

Not CARD but The Belgium 20:
