    Irate-Pirate reacted to doakie in The AGM via Zoom   
    I appreciate that but some information, given in confidence, can't be proved however I suggest that most contributors come on here with the sole intention of keeping other fans well informed, fans that might not have the same contacts within the club as others. Consequently, that allows the naysayers to come on and cast doubt on any well meaning fan such as Animal or Goodietwoshoes. When posters such as the afore mentioned two offer their views in an articulate, well thought out manner without resorting to hysteria I tend to find them credible. What I don't find credible are those who are so firmly entrenched in their pro Kibble stance that they stubbornly refuse to acknowledge other than the opinion that Kibble are great, Kibble are good, Kibble can do no wrong.
    I've said before: don't believe me or any other poster - Ask a Smisa rep! Ask a director. No one will tell you that the Kibble directors have a harmonious relationship with the club.

    Historically I always thought we budgeted for finishing 11th?
    What changed?
    Just as well we made two semi-finals last season.

    I love our town and proudly tell people that’s where I’m from .

    Anything that enhances the experience of living, shopping, visiting Paisley should be supported and applauded .
    To encourage more folk into the town centre and to make it a more pleasurable experience ,perhaps the next stage could be to rid the town centre of the f**king Jakies & Junkies that seem to plague it and clean up the dog shit 😏

    Mrs Strachan was my teacher in Primary 5 and then again in Primary 7.

    She took the whole class to visit her home after all the work was finished. That certainly wouldn't be allowed nowadays.

    Oh come on FFS.
    Beating Celtic 4-0 no ANY occasion is almost unheard of and was a fantastic achievement.
    Picking holes in a historic win is ridiculous.
    Oh and BTW, if you re-watch the highlights, that Celtic team could have been at least a couple of goals up before we got going. If those had gone in, we'd have been looking at a very different result.
    We should enjoy those sorts of nights.

    Aye.
    I'd go along with that.
    He'd been good enough to get them there, keeping them in the top flight - without the benefit of the club's own training facilities - and on a limited budget.
    The ref had done the honest thing... and yet that team failed on the day.
     
    I may be still be a little upset about that...

    This thread is a great example of what has killed this forum.
    No normal person wants to spend their precious time wading through this type of  nonsense on every thread and who can blame them.
    A handful of posters have systematically destroyed it over the last few years.
    Some might wonder if it was deliberate. If so, well done chaps. I think you've finally succeeded.

    It's not a merger.
    SMiSA will own 51% of the shareholding of the football club if this goes through. That is the same level of shareholding that every club in Germany operates on.
    SMiSA will appoint 75% of the directors of the football club board. Kibble will have 25%.
    The SMISA members are being asked to approve the proposal. If they don't, it doesn't happen.

    A silly question but I'd appreciate a sensible answer from someone I don't have on ignore (so that wipes out about half the posters on this thread).

    If Kibble's involvement leads to increased use of facilities, as is mentioned in the documents, are they entitled to a percentage of the increased income or does it all go to the club?

    Basically, is their involvement purely to get experience etc for their staff or will they be benefitting financially as well?

    Irate-Pirate reacted to Wilbur in Worst Managers ever!?!   
    Sorry but I can't agree with this.
    Yes, if the OP had intended the responses to be limited to ex-St Mirren managers then these are the two main contenders IMO. But Craig wasn't our worst ever manager.
    Craig was an utter incompetent, entirely clueless, and an imposter in the post. Shameless but not immoral. A shockingly poor appointment undoubtedly.
    But even worse was Hay. Neither incompetent nor clueless, but he was happy to do deals that were intentionally anti-St Mirren. He used his substantial player budget to sign his old pals, a shitload of ex-Celtic duds with career-ending injuries looking only for a pension boost. Unforgiveable by Hay, a piece of utter vermin.

    The St. Mirren bar is now the Argyll bar. The Abercorn Bar, in the distance, later became the St. Mirren Bar and is now a DIY store. It looks like there is another bar beside The Metropolis.

    I’ve learned/reaffirmed a few things over the last couple of days.

    1. Supporting this club is hard work.....harder than it needs to be.
    2. Too many people enjoy revelling in that turmoil.
    3. Letting supporters get a hold of this club will be the mother of all clusterf**ks

    Oh, and if I have an employment law issue I shouldn’t call Lookatme!🤣

    Phantom tickets are for W1. Been informed they've been sent out, when I collected my real purchase today.
    If I get them it won't be an issue because I've been promised a refund, and I'm sure I could easily shift them anyway without taking them back.
    The issue will be if they don't arrive, which isn't out of the question since the street name on the address is jibberish. Fortunately the postcode and house number are correct, so we'll see. Would be a waste of two tickets for someone who needs them and a waste of £36 for me.
    Of course, I was dismissed as though it was obviously my fault when I first highlighted it today.
    Because that's what I'm known for. Lying about buying tickets I don't know anything about.

    The thing is it could be any area of the ground as the touchline mics pick up a lot of the things being said/shouted. I used to have my telly connected through a home cinema app and it was funny hearing the swearing coming through the surround speakers behind me, not particularly loudly, but creepy when there was a lull in the game punctuated by a "you're a prick" or similar coming from over your shoulder and there's no-one else in house

    To put a date on it, my earliest memory of that map was  watching Dundee United fans using it to find Love Street before the cup tie where Fitzy scored the winner and McAvennie fractured his skull, which would have been about March 1982.
    In my defence, I can't remember any of the other maps mentioned, and my only memories of County Square are in colour, not black and white.

    Given we spent so long in 12th place and at one point were 5 points behind Dundee I would have bitten your hand off to avoid 12th. That is our first point at Accies in years and people are still complaining.
    10th is absolutely within our grasp. Remember Hamilton have a very tough derby against Motherwell to come and they have to visit us as well.
    4 points have been banked this week.
    Dundee now need a minimum of a 2-result swing to overtake us, given the goal differences, with 5 games to go.
    I'd say that was a f**king good 7 days.
