Danny was also not a bad volleyball player, my ex PE teacher in Renfrew HS.

Some with v neck, some with rounded collar and only a few with the badge, bit odd!

Hearing from a v good source that Fergie coming back for a second spell, until end of season only though.

Just watched the Joe Shaughnessy interview and am mightily impressed by his behaviour/ demeanour,, cool calm and collected, following the club (party line) even though I would imagine it's done naturally and not instructed by the club, he always has come across as a sensible chap. A left-field choice perchance?

I think they just make it up as they go on, nothing makes sense to me anymore 😂

Agreed. We should have been awarded the points.

A stupid game of football is more important than people's lifes. Normal people have been through hell trying live with lockdown. And selfish f**king footballers think the rules don't apply to them. Well done to the First Minister for coming down hard on these clowns. I don't she has come down hard enough.  

Shame the offending teams don’t forfeit the game , award opponent the 3 points

It’ll probably be oops sorry we will rearrange it & no further action

Got to agree with this somewhat, clubs should be forfeiting games where players/officials have flouted guidance and put other people at risk. If the league gets suspended, I would have thought there would be a good case for clubs pursuing a legal recourse for lost revenues.  

Apart from the three days where we’ve signed players? 

The underlying fact, however, about Scottish Football...   is that since the stitch up of the attendance monies by the two cheeks, the cheating with EBTs by the deid club  closely followed by the connivance of SFA and SFL to allow an unqualified new club intae Scottish fitba - Is that it is no longer a SPORT.
It's a stitch-up to favour the sectarian-funded clubs - a stitch up funded by mug punters throughout the land.
 
The abject reaction by the authorities to to cv19 simply highlights how appallingly inadequate and unsporting the whole shit-show is.

Good to see the topic go the same way as all the others that baz gets involved with.
It may have been covered in the previous 40 or so pages but the only reason I can see why GS would want Kibble involved is because he can't trust SMiSA. If Kibble (or any other well run business) get on board, they will be calling the shots for everything and SmiSA will be able to do nothing about it. Any services coming from Kibble to the club, you can be certain the club will need to pay for (they are a charity remember) can't just give assets (staff; time etc) away for nought.
There is a reason why someone would want to have 75% or as close to 75% of the shares, if you dont know, look it up.

Should the present SMiSA board incumbents step down if this goes against them? Think David Cameron.

Who will be independently verifying the result which lands on their very own desk ?

Thats just for a quorum.

After contacting SMISA with a query about an option to add "Save the Pot" to the 3 monthly spend pot votes. I met 2 members of the SMISA committee on Wednesday 28th November 2018 at Banco Nero.   Their purpose was to dissuade me from pursuing the proposal on the £2 spend pot.   During that meeting, they went through SMISA' finances with me, their forecasts & projections and stated to me, they'd have the funds (if member numbers remained at that level) to complete the purchase of St Mirren FC in 2023.   They explained their plans to "build a rainy day fund" by maintaining member subscriptions beyond that date as "we have up to 10 years to complete the purchase of GLS' shares"   1200 members continuing to pay £12 per month for almost 4 years after they have the funds to complete the buyout realises a significant fund. The figure they put to me was in excess of £500000 which would help maintain "safeguarding The Club". Even if the £2 pot spend continued, they could raise more than half a million pounds  if the BTB term went to the full 10 years.   No matter when BTB completes, SMISA members will need to continue paying a subscription to remain a member. Even those who bought the £2500 package. That was a 10 year membership. I expect, there will be a drop off in membership once the Buds is Bought as there will be members who bought into a 10 year investment to safeguard St Mirren FC by bringing it under fan ownership.   I am, in no doubts, this proposal to become co-owners with Kibble is dazzling but it is now very different to what SMISA sold to the fans.   We don't need to be joint owners with Kibble or anyone else to make our fan ownership a success. SMISA can complete their purchase of GLS's shares and still have a very successful partnership/collaboration with Kibble without having Kibble as a shareholder.   St Mirren will be safer owning 60+% of the shares, even safer owning 70+% of shares and even safer owning 80%+ of shares. It is unlikely SMISA will achieve owning of 100% of the shares but the more SMISA owns, the safer the club is. It really is that simple.   Even though, SMISA become the majority shareholder, accepting this proposal, to accept a 3rd party purchasing 27% of the Club has it's risks. We have the gift to ensure the safety of St Mirren FC once & for all by buying the largest % of shareholding available to us and that is by continuing as is, complete the purchase in 2023 and build the rainy day fund through the continuing memberships required by each & every one of us to remain members of SMISA.   I'd save the £2 pot too & create a bigger pot but that's a different argument
