Quote from the BBC. "St Mirren midfielder Alan Power is imposing himself on the game well as the visitors grow back into this one." 🤔

Nothing like him. I had family in Stewarton and nobody had a bad word to say about him. He has always worked for communities he's lived in and is very generous. At almost every club he's played at he would buy about 50 match tickets and give them to charities so that folk without much could get to a game. Good guy by all accounts.

Should have stayed with Morcambe. Obviously chased the money.

I'm sure he speaks highly of you.

JR to Aberdeen? Or QoS?

As is his right. I'm sure if your employer wanted to terminate your contract you would expect to be properly compensated. And I doubt many on here would show much enthusiasm during their remaining days.

I think you're wrong there as recent news stories show. They were making massive grants to firms south of the border. Unfortunately, they were awarding them mainly to fake firms and shell companies.

If you only offer short contracts you're on a hiding to nothing. If anyone who wants McGrath can convince him to sign a PCA they can bide their time and get him for nothing in four months time. I doubt we will ever be able to fund 3 or 4 year contracts let alone convince players to sign them. Sadly, these days football clubs need a Sugar Daddy and it ain't SMISA nor Kibble.

I have no axe to grind on this issue. However, it should be noted that: There is now no statutory requirement for a private company to hold any general meetings, not even an AGM. Only listed companies or companies or where the company articles require an AGM need do so. You can even change the articles to remove the requirements with a simple resolution. The accounts don't even need to be presented to shareholders in open forum - they just need to be posted to them. Perhaps a request for SMISA to clarify the current articles be put to their AGM. This may help to firm up the format for next year. There is advice on GOV.UK on holding AGM's in the current panic-demic but they probably change as often as Shull changes his mind. Hopefully this is the last time these measures will be permitted but SMISA need to get their act together. Why SMISA members continue to vent their spleen on here instead of holding their office bearers to account beats me. B&W Army can't force change only SMISA can go that, they are the major shareholder after all.

Are the saintees not just doing to Killie what we did to them.

St Mirren: Alnwick, Fraser, Shaughnessy, Dunne, Tanser, McAllister, Erhahon, Ronan, Kiltie, Henderson, Dennis Substitutes: Lyness, Tait, Millar, Reid, Flynn, Power, Greive, Erwin, Brophy.

That has been kicking about for about a year. Fergie has been championing the move but the previous management were undecided. Could be a goer now? On another topic Wigan have signed Shinnie from Derby - will they still want McGrath.

The big problem is that the other clubs around us are mainly backed by very rich men. How do SMISA plan to compete with this?

Norrie that's a rant based on pure speculation. Understandable, I know but what do you want them to say? The setup we have is that like most Premiership clubs the football side is in the hands of the MD and the Manager. They will talk when when something is happening and not before. Don't get stressed by something out of your control.

Sadly, the game has changed. When we signed these guys the Juniors was a stepping stone to the pro game but it no longer is. Even the lower leagues up here are not the rich picking grounds they once were. The Academy system has changed how young players are developed - so many get discarded in their late teens and many of them give up the game completely.

Lafferty now a free agent? Any takers? 😳

He did - mind you it looked more like a good save rebounded off him into the net.

Where's the big green dome then?

Without a mask!

So that's Goodwin, Davidson, Martindale, McPake and Mackay all for the push?

I hear we can't produce a team sheet as some of the youg guys have to home from school to have their tea first. Hope their parents don't make them do their homework before they let them back out or we're really fecked. 😷 😷

Was there not one on Ferguslie where they built the John Neilson Comprehensive? What, me, no. I was educated in an Institution.

Surely those who want a greater democratic say in how things are run have a beef with SMISA and how their representatives behave on the board. You have to sort out SMISA before you can influence the board. Does SMISA membership give you a vote at the AGM. No, it's shareholders who vote at the AGM. If you want your voice heard on every issue - I for one would love to hear how you plan to do it as it's the major flaw in fan ownership. Good luck.

Does this mean we get our players back? Excluding wee Stevie of course.

It's one thing for opposing fans to kick the club whenever we're down. It's another when people on here constantly feed them by posting on here. It's a nothing affair, a slap on the wrist thing and quite funny as well. In the words of my granddaughter "Let It Go"" ffs.
