That entire page is about St Mirren. The top left headline is about Oran Kearney’s pal coming in to entertain the squad, and the top right headline is about some on this forum learning that Gus is coming back.
 

Celebrity fan ambassadors... just what we need. Pretty soon our place will have a Chairman, CEO, team manager, technical director, SMiSA, SLOs, Fan Council, the W7 crew, and celebrity fcuking ambassadors.... 
I want to be the official club ginger knobhead who posts pish on a forum. It’s the only vacancy as yet unfilled.

Helen Mirren, the ‘stairs’ scene in ‘The Savage Messiah’. Jeez’ Louise...

...without answering a genuinely posed question either. Seems strange that a genuine request to ask if there’s some sort of organisation within the group is met with stony silence, when a few pages ago, Doakes openly talked about some sort of discussion where ‘the majority’ decided to display the banned bedsheet. That would suggest there are meetings and votes, and a few people assuming the role of leaders within the group.
It’s all getting very strange. Maybe I’m better off not knowing. Maybe there are funny handshakes involved, knowing glances, sneaky signals across the bar room table. Pointy white hats and burning crosses, effigies of Gordon Scott readied for November 5th, Triad style tattoos on left buttocks, an annual outing to the seaside in Glasgow Black Cabs....
Could be like a golf club. Basturts will be inflitrating the golf day soon... I’ve got my eye on them.

Must be Banksy that runs the W7 group then.

Before you go though, would appreciate you replying to the post I made about 'structure' or 'hierarchy' within the W7 group.

‘Suggestion’ regrets taking his banner paints to a ‘clear the air’ meeting with GLS...
 

Wonder if you can answer something? The ‘W7 collective’... is there any structure to the group? Any identifiable leadership? Some sort of committee? Any criteria for someone to be classed as a ‘member’? Any individual(s) regarded by both the club and indeed police, as being the leaders, and if there are any issues - such as a banned banner being unfurled despite knowing it was banned, would the club / police know who ‘was in charge’?
Serious question, because as you may or may not be aware, when I first started the ‘Inverness flag day’ idea when we were denied a home flag raising opener, I received a call at home from the Chief of Northern Constabulary. In no uncertain terms, he told me if any flag poles or sticks were involved and used as weapons in the event of any trouble, as far as they were concerned, my arse was toast. They considered me the leader of this ‘flag waving group’ who were about to invade Inverness. I am no criminal, there was no criminal intent, I just said we should wave flags and make noise... yet the police got hold of my phone number and using very strong language, warned me I’d be up to my neck in it if this idea saw any trouble... I suppose the recent ‘9 am visits to non-criminals’ are nothing new then. I was shitting myself all day up there, thankfully no-one decided to lamp a Teuchter with a stick that day.
So, what’s the script with the W7 group? Do you have a funny handshake?

Indeed. If you completely ignore his ‘snakes and poison’ comments (sounds like a shite Guns ‘n Roses), then he had no idea what he was talking about. He repeatedly stated it was disgraceful, as he’d only been in charge for four games, and had even won one of them. No mention of being unable to get past Queens Park or Spartans, no mention of the abject hammering at Aberdeen, or the manner of  the defeat at Hearts. Nothng about not even managing a shot at goal against ten man Sevco. Nothing about Stubbs role in any dressing room issues. Nothng about loading up with loanees, some of whom hadn’t been playing. Nothing about a 75k player sitting in the stands.
At least Craigan has the brain power to ask out loud ‘there could have been things going on we don’t know about’, while Ally continued to perform the role he is very good at - being utterly befuddled about it all.

Edited. Double post.

I would guess Gus’ remit covers a few areas that Gordon feels we are light in, as a club. Identifying and securing the signatures of signing targets. Scouting possible signings / watching future opponents. Having an in-depth and lengthy understanding of the Scottish scene that Oran doesn’t. Being an ex-manager who Oran could lean on for advice if required. Maybe the most important job though - at Gordon’s behest, run into W7 and kick the cnut in of any daftie with a questionable banner. 

If people have concerns about lack of range of these cars , the answer is very simple . Either buy a 250 mile extension cable or simply install a 2.5ltr diesel generator in the boot of your car to recharge the batteries . f**kin simple , I should be the minister for transport & the environment me 🤪

So do I, given that the folk who made and displayed it did so following police visits to homes at 9am in the morning, when the people being visited are not criminals and are not being accused of being involved in criminal acts, or planning to be involved in any.
However, the fact remains that part of the deal in the ‘W7 section’ being sanctioned by the club is that banners must be pre-approved, and in this instance, the club said the banner could not be displayed. Someone, or more than one person deliberately chose to ignore this, and from that point on, things seem to have deteriorated.
You don’t need to take the club’s side, you don’t need to take the W7 crew’s side, but as an outsider looking in, there seems to be a legitimate cause for concern with these police visits, but simply cocking a snoot to the club’s directive, to my eyes, smacks of an immature attitude to what is a serious issue at heart. There also clearly appears to be two individuals rubbing each other up the wrong way here, but if the attitude from one of them is simply ‘fcuk it, we’ll just display the banner anyway’, then there’s only going to be one winner, which could end up being to the detriment of what has almost universally been a success in what was a characterless shoebox of a stadium.
Just get round the table and get it sorted.
