  1. ...and not a SINGLE arrest. Proof if it was needed that Police Scotland let Old Firm fans roll into town do what they want and roll back out.

    St Mirren have done a fantastic job getting them down to having just one stand. Wouldn't it be brilliant to find a way where they dont get any fans in our ground at all?

    I am glad you find this funny..  says all that needs to be said really.... point scoring .... you obviously live in your high horse's arse

    Even you know you your OP was completley unfounded. You let your prejudice cloud your judgement. Whatever you think about the Israel/Palestine situation you shouldn't have blamed the atrocity on Israel without evidence. Five days later Hamas, the worlds news agencies, people on the ground can't do it but  within hours you were able to tell us Israel slaughtered innocents' at a hospital. Thats not point scoring. Thats facts.

    Frankly WGAF what u think.... based on whats been reported today its now leaning back to Israeli strike..  so shut up...read...learn and they try to comment.. and dont break your neck coming off your high horse

    🤣🤣🤣

    5 days after Hamas accused Israel of bombing a hospital the Palestinian terrorists have not produced a shread of evidence it was Israel. You would think if they had any they would want to tell the world? Yet within hours of the event you and jockmd had said it was Israel. Like Hamas you two have not produced anything to back up you claim. So I will stay on my high horse and trample all over your unfounded original post. 

    Telling someone to shut up on a forum. 👍

    While, overall, i agree with your recent interest in the forum you might want to remind yourself it's a football forum. 

    This stopped being a football forum a long long time ago when a few trolls took it over and spoiled it for everyone. 😉 But thanks for your advice. Don't know what people on this forum would do without your 63,000 posts of wisdom?😉

    Referring to other humans as "scum" was enough to get the singing section a ban several years ago - and that was a light hearted joke about folk fae Greenock

    In this far more serious context - I'd suggest changing the thread title or deleting this thread. A bit embarrassing to have on a St Mirren forum

    Hitler de-humanised the Jews using similar language

    When you read the topic headline you knew what was coming wasn't going to be fair or balanced. You'll notice that him and Jockmd have not managed to come up with a shread of evidence to back up their words. Away from whose side you are on you can't allow your prejudice to blame Israel on an atrocity without any facts at all.

    Embarrassed for them both. But hey this forum isn't known for its balanced, intelligent debate on anything.

    My post was presented when the news media reported that the hospital had been bombed. 

    Israel said that the PIJ rocket had exploded in the air then fell on the hospital.  Or, was fired onto the hospital. 

    Firstly, PIJ or Hamas rockets do NOT have the technology to be guided. When they are fired they are pointed in the general direction. 

    Secondly, what are the chances of falling on to the hospital after the explosion in the air?  

    Thirdly, the intensity of the explosion is way higher than anything that has fallen in Israel.  

    Fourthly, this denial by Israel is going along the same path as their denial of murdering the American/Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. 

    So like DougJamie you don't provide ONE bit of evidence that it was 'clearly' Israel.

    Instead you give us more nonsense.

    Firstly no one is saying it was a guided missile.

    Secondly- the same chances as falling near or on any building

    Thirdly- the size of the crater suggests the opposite as does the fact that the main damage seems to have been from the fireball

    Fourthly- that does not prove Israel 'clearly' bombed a hospital.

    So I will ask again. What evidence do you have that this atrocity was the work of Israel? Be honest your opinion wasn't based on facts was it? World news agencies with people on the ground and huge resources can't be sure ( though evidence is still coming out) but you know it was 'clearly' Israel from your keyboard in Scotland.

  7. 22 hours ago, Jockmd said:

    The explosive power of Hamas rockets doesn't come anywhere near the power to destroy a whole hospital. 
    Clearly it was Israel.

    More unfounded pish just like DougJamie. There are not many facts, though some are starting to emerge, so NOTHING is clear. What we do know though is that 'a whole hospital' was not destroyed so that blows your point out the water. Another fact is that sadly many innocent people lost their lives in the most awful way. Speculation, predjudice and pure guess work doesn't get to the truth.

    So I'll ask you the same question I asked DougJamie. Give us the evidence that it was 'clearly Israel' He couldn't and I won't hold my breath for your answer.

    I recently visited the Motherwell and Dundee forums and they're nothing like this! 🤣

    I doubt if there would be two Motherwell or Dundee fans sad enough to have 125,000 posts between them on a football forum. They chased away normal fans a long long long long time ago.

    There isn't overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that's nonsense. The AGM sounds blown out of proportion and I'm yet to see minutes to verify it's as bad as usual suspects make out. 

    I would say it's the opposite, it's the same people with an agenda that have lost all credibility (a few had none to start with). "Kibble bad" before a ball had been kicked and they continue to show nothing that raises any real worries. 

    If you have something that actually amounts to tangible evidence of the demise of SMFC since the Kibble came on board, feel free to share it. Otherwise "no need to respond" 

    Would a £1.6million loss in a year count as something tangible?

     

  10. Best window we have had since Stephen McGinn signed and kept us up. Jones a far better player than McAllister. Grieve much better than Dennis and Gogic much more experienced than Erhahon. Add that to the two big centre forwards being no where near the team and it's easy to see why things are looking up!😁👍

    It was actually the SMISA voting members that overwhelmingly approved this & there is nothing material to suggest it is a "dud" (don't let Animal and his fellow moon howlers distract you from that point) 

    GLS did not push through the Kibble deal, it was presented to members. IMO it is quite disrespectful to those who voted, to question if they made their own informed choices on the deal. 

    SMISA couldn't run a coffee morning never mind a football club so forgive me for thinking they are not capable of making informed choices.

    But that's not true.
    Certainly, on the field we are in a much healthier position...

    but we are NOT "fan owned"; have lost or dismissed a lot of long term employees; and have a divided boardroom where the fan owned component is not able to make decisions without ratification by a non-fan based company.

    He sold us a dud.

    I'm relieved he will be moving to the ideal position for him. His skills are perfect for club ambassador.

    I think you will find it was Gordon Scott who sold everyone a Dud. And then pushed through the Kibble deal so he got his money back earlier.

    As much as us old farts love the  old grounds, the stand at Somerset is worst than the terracing and really need to be bined.

    God forbid if anybody ever has a dose of the shits while at this ground  :lol:

    As for the game, walk in the park for most of the game.

     

    Great to stand at the football but with toilets that would not be good enough in a pub with a 100 capacity and a food stall that you would need to wait 40/45 minutes to get shit food from it shows how football fans are treated, Would not be allowed to happen in any other 'entertainment' industry.

    Also wee fannies in balaclava's in the St Mirren support wtf is that all about? Embarrasment to themselves and the club. Fuds!!!!

    Part of the Smisa statement from today - 

    At the same time, we are aware of recent online discussion around our relationship with Kibble. In any partnership, differences of opinion and approach can arise. The best place for any issues to be managed is in the boardroom and between the shareholders.

    We would stress for us to play that out in public would not be in the best interests of St Mirren. On that basis we ask for understanding and realism from members over what SMISA can publicly say.

     

    Ffs…. Words… that say absolutely nothing…amateurs…what a complete f**k up smisa are…

    Bumped into a ‘connected friend’ in my local Morrisons this morning.

    Chat soon came around to Kibble (or FIBBLE as she calls them) and their threats of legal action against our club board and SMISA board members should they dare to speak publicly about the chaos (and now bullying) they are inflicting on our club.

    She tells me concerns are being raised in some concerned quarters as to just what FIBBLE are up to.

    As all this unfolds and Fibble delay this year’s AGM, just as they did last year’s, the manager and players are having to put up with the result of their contracting to ‘professionals’ such as their discredited ‘supplier’ Asigura Ltd.

    Remember them? FIBBLE suppliers given stadia catering, security, and refurbishment of the training ground.

    Thanks to their increased professionalism our players still have no washing facilities at their own training ground and are having to change at St Mirren Park then journey back and forward to and from Ralston in this climate!

    Buildings at Ralston are unfinished and if planning applications are be believed proper permission for some of the works, tarpaulin flapping in the rain, has not even been secured.

    Remember FIBBLE also forgot to tell you that they wanted the manager gone last year when team was playing well (the team had had facilities back then) and reaching semi finals.

    Our manager deserves our support before he becomes as disillusioned as the fans and walks. Hibs?

    Have a look at this link from when they came in and the claptrap we were fed.

    https://www.stmirren.com/all-news/3591-board-members-from-kibble

    ASIGURA FACILITIES MANAGEMEET WAS INCORPORATED ONLY 4 DAYS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THIS NONSENSE.
    NOW THERE IS A COINCIDENCE!

    Time to back the manager, the players and the St Mirren supporters on the board and tell FIBBLE where to go now. Maybe take their second (Fibble staff member) general manager with them and ask the CE Tony Fitz why he backs them at all !!!!

    Feeble attempt to deflect any blame from the hopeless SMISA and put it on Kbble (who I am guessing are not entirely blame free)

    But?

    Is it Kibbles fault we cant score a goal and two of our stikers are Erwin and Main?

    Is it Kibbles fault we don't have any pace in the team?

    Is it Kibbles fault we play a system without the players to do it properly?

    Kibble wanted the manager gone. Really? Yet he got a new 3 year deal in Feb this year!

    Is it Kibbles fault that the SMISA appointed Chairman is not fit for pupose?

    Is it Kibbles fault that SMISA treasurer has shown the same complete lack of judgement?

    Is it Kibbles fault that SMISA have absolutely NO communication these days with the fans?

    Is it Kibbles fault that SMISA are an amateur organisation with NO experiance of running a football club or business? If SMISA have been threatened with legal action why are they not telling us ffs!! The last time I looked it was a free country (unless you want a christmas works night out!....thanks wee Nikki🤣)

    Worried about the manager walking?! Where the fcuk do you think he's going? He has won THREE league games ALL season. Our last win was Oct 16 and have gone EIGHT league games without a win. ( Ask Jack what happens to managers on a run like that) I'm also predicting we will go bottom of the league on Boxing Day. That will be Kibbles fault as well I suppose?

    Our Chairman said he had a plan re fans and Old Firm games and would put it to us soon. Well the Celtic game is just round the corner and absolutely NOTHING. Still discussing it is the official line from St Mirren. FFS!!!

    Lets be honest. SMISA have been an absolute disaster. The organisation obviously has as big an ego as some of  its individuald board members. Imagine having the ground named the SMISA stadium. I get they have paid for that but what a chance to do something innovative and get local charities involved or local business. Wouldn't even enter their head. Too busy on self promotion rather than doing what is right for the football club.

    And to finish. FIBBLE. Very grown up, very mature. She's not related to a SMISA board member is she?

    PS- Don't forget who invited Kibble into bed with them. Yep.....SMISA.

    My view was & is that it was extremely unprofessional & not what I would expect from a football club chairman. Given he’s so recently in the door & the journey the club is on, I feel it was right he graciously step down. Given he hasn’t, I would ideally like to see him removed or at the very least a SMISA member vote on the matter (I would of course respect the democratic outcome). 
     

    Regarding your points on Rangers fans behaviour, it’s just whataboutery really. Their poor behaviour isn’t relevant on this topic for me & I don’t fully understand how it links into your last question. 

    Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…….
