    dwriley65 reacted to div in Super Stelios   
    I've been tweeting him a bit, seems fair to assume that he's been offered a deal but that the numbers aren't what him or his agent are looking for.
    He wants to stay going by his tweets, but it's looking increasingly unlikely that is going to happen unfortunately.
    For me having a guy who can play left back or right back, and who gets forward from those positions and can score goals is a very worthwhile asset to have in the squad.
    Shame, but I guess we move on.

    I think Kyle, or should I say his agent, have made the wrong decision.

    At 17 he should be staying and developing as a player at a club where he is guaranteed a starting place. I hope he doesn't disappear into the lower leagues and makes a success of himself.

    It is what it is. Take the money and get another couple of decent players in to improve the team. He'll be forgotten about in a couple of weeks.


    Good luck Kyle.

    You know what he said? He wasn't 'speaking the truth' or complaining about the performance, he was verbally abusing players & manager. I don't care how old he is or how long he's been following the team, that doesn't give him or anyone else a free pass to hurl personal abuse. Ross was very respectful when he spoke to him, the other supporters only said that he comes out with the same pish week after week and THEY are sick listening to it.

    Jack spoke to him very calmly and the other fans rounded on the mouthy old guy who, I'm told, spouts this kind of pish week-in, week-out, win, lose or draw.

    Actually 2 maximum but more can be signed in when the club is quiet. This Saturday has the highest number of guests booked since the club opened so it will be 2 only per member.

    You're correct; we have no formal input, no vote on any matters. We are asked for or offer our opinion / input on topics being discussed. I attend because I want to do whatever I can to help SMiSA and the club move forward. Simple as that.

    Some good suggestions here. I liked Sami, until I remembered that my younger cousin is also called Sammy. Don't think she'd take kindly to naming a Dug after her.

    These days organisations all over the place are having to stop because of a shortage of volunteers and committee members. Fair play to SMiSA if they've managed to buck this trend and ended up with more committee members than they should have! They've been desperate for help for years and this will be the first time in a while, possibly ever, they've had a full committee, and now people are moaning about how the members have been appointed and the possibility of there being too many.
    If people are just concerned that they may have breached their constitution then fair enough, however I can't help feeling reading the posts some people () have ulterior motives. If you're really that concerned about who is on the committee and how many members there are I'm sure you could put yourself forward at the AGM or offer to help before then. God knows why you'd want to as you'll just have your efforts belittled at every turn by folk who think they know best - the same with any voluntary organisation really. Plenty of people happy to whine about what is being done, sod all of them prepared to help out themselves.
    I imagine if SMiSA do have too many folk on their committee it's just an oversight rather than an attempt to pull the wool over folk's eyes. It happens. In Dumfries and Galloway, there's a rule that community councils must adopt a constitution within 3 months of an election. Hardly any of them realised this until it was too late - even the council, who introduced the rule, didn't realise it happened. It only came to light when someone who had lost out in an election brought the matter up in a bid to cause trouble (although ironically that particular community council had realised what they had to do).
    Thank goodness we don't have anyone so bitter and petty on here

    There were 4 guys elected by the members at the last AGM and 4 the year before, making 8 , John White is the Secretary but not ellected by the members, as per  the constitution  the elected board members appoint him and decide among the elected members who will be chairman.
    Anybody else must be assisting the board , not necessarily  co opted, and can stand at the next AGM.
