  1. I thought McGowans attitude improved at the season went on. His moaning at his team-mates decreased and he began to realise he had team-mates and didnt have to do it all himself. I think he would be a good acquisition but dont know about paying a fee for him.

    Carey is out our budget as C*ltic know they could get some money for him. Loan deal would be the best we could hope for.

  2. I believe Innes WAS offered a deal but refused as he wanted more money. Same when he went on trial at Killie. ICT offered him something better obviously but he hasn't been a regular all season. I would have taken him for this season but think we should now be looking at younger options. For what it is worth I think Mair is ok when not playing with JP and is as good as Innes and younger and less injury-prone.

  3. I am a bit concerned that there are a few people very much against the CIC however this forum is not the place for this debate as the posters on here are not representing 10000hours. Maybe 10000hours should hold another Q&A without any presentations but let it be a debate between those that are very against the proposal and 10000hrs and clear up up misgivings.

  4. Dont know if this has been asked before so I apologise in advance if it has.

    What are 10000hrs doing to inform the non-internet fans?

    I know many fans who do not use fans' forums nor the internet. Are letters being sent to Season Ticket holders or leaflets handed out before games?

  5. Why would anybody respect a Religion who would have you burn in hell for just not believing in what they are preaching ? :blink:

    Not only do not all religions support that view but those that do are in a minority. Most people I know who have religious or spiritual beliefs go about their lives in a quiet manner and do not thrust their beliefs on anyone. I find that those that mouth off are those that have never studied the subject.

  6. This is the most pathetic idea I have heard....must be a wind up!!!

    Last thing we need is to be associated with a church or any type of religion. :angry:

    I'll respect your views and in return maybe you would like to respect those that do follow a religion. You have a choice. So does everyone else.

  7. Spot on.

    Absolutely. The difference with us and religion in the Old Firm is that we don't favour any religion. The bigots do, and we should treat them just as any other community interest wishing to use our facilities. All are welcome. Except Nazis/old firm agendas. They are not.

    So where is my green dot then? :)

  8. mmmmmmmmmm problem??????

    Surely early Sunday kick off v Old firm for TV will not allow this to take place........

    Cant imagine church would be happy with all the noise from outside

    Do not know about this one but not all Churches meet on a Sunday morning.

    And for those that mentioned religion and football don't mix there may be an element of truth in that. Most bigots I know do not go to Church so no problem!

    We should welcome all groups that want to use the stadium and respect people's beliefs.

  9. There has to be a proposal before people can decide if they want to be on board otherwise it is just like the SPL plans, we'll make it up as we go along so that everyone comes on board.

    Not so. You come up with a idea first then start to flesh it out and produce a rough plan for implementing the idea as more people come on board and new ideas and viewpoints are introduced. Eventually you have a proposal when everyone concerned has had their say which is then modified, voted for or voted against.

    The SPL are not making it up as they go along. 7 people decided on a proposal then they tried to push that proposal to everyone else. Many , many stakeholders - other SPL clubs, SFL clubs, SFA, fans and media - had no say in the proposal and any new ideas and viewpoints are totally ignored.

    I run projects. I come up with ideas. I chat to trusted people to see obvious flaws or get new ideas (for and against). I then take these loose plans and bounce them off the people directly affected to get their viewpoint. I then modify the plan. I then take it to a wider audience to see what they think. Eventually when everyone has their say we put forward a proposal when everyone knows the background, options, fors and againsts, and alternatives. Then we vote when everyone has been consulted.

    If you don't take people with you when introducing change you are lost. Even if everyone doesn't get what they want they want to know what the possibilities are and have some input even if it is rejected for the final proposals or not voted for in the final proposals. Its called consultation. A word Neil Doncaster hasn't heard of.

    Hopefully at St Mirren the people with the new idea are fleshing it out via consultation and not just offering a yes/no proposal to others who could maybe have added greatly to the plan.

  10. I do not know much about the takeover but I would prefer it to be done properly unlike Neil Doncaster and his daft proposals.

    Explore some avenues and possibilities and continue to explore when more people come aboard until there is something kind of concrete to propose. Then seek further input and explore further possibilities until everyone involved knows what is being proposed, has had a say and that say has been heard and investigated. This all takes time. No rush. Better to get it right than push through something that is flawed with no support like League reconstruction.

  11. Anyway enough of this nonsense! My good friend Facepainter and my good self will be in attendance( as long as the plane can take off due to the fact that big Skoda and me are on the same plane :wink: ) Will be in the Crown Bar in Belfast on Saturday night for anyone who wants to buy us a pint! :cheers Im sure a good night will be had by all.

    Have a great time guys. Have a Guinness on me. I'll pay you back in Langs.

  12. Evening Times .....

    According to that Harte phoned from Gretna this morning asking for more money then said he's need to think about it when the answer was no. So much for all the pish yesterday about money not being a issue.

    SMFC are not to blame on this. The agent tells the media the signing is happening. The guy agrees a deal over the phone. The agent then lets the press know. The press ask Gus - whats he to say? It used to be a man's word was his bond.

    This makes Harte and McKay look ridiculous - not Gus.
