Shankland, if I remember correctly, went to our fragrant neighbours and stank the place out[emoji1]. Walsh will be plying his trade in lower leagues this year. Hardie may however get his chance in the top league.
Yes, Jack made mistakes in the transfer market the same as every manager, but by and large he's had more successes than failures . You mention that the McAllister money funded this. To me a manager who can revolutionise a team with the money made from selling a player who had made 17 appearances has something about them. He's not Alex Ferguson but then who is? He is however an excellent manager. You say that it took a hell of a long time to get to the point of us winning games. This was his first transfer window, the shambles he inherited being down to the previous 2 managers.

I voted against using the ring fenced money, as to me it went against the meaning of ring-fenced. Although to be honest I've voted against most of the proposals as I haven't found any of them that appealing ( apart from the community season tickets). I do however accept that if the majority of people who voted, chose the other option then that's a democracy. It's all money for the club and its all being paid back. Yes maybe that's blinkered of me but at the end of the day I have more important things in my life to worry about.
What I don't understand is Stu D paying monthly in to a scheme he's not happy about, to a club he detests. I'm happy to read his opinions, as they are just as valid as everyone else's and some points I agree with, just don't get why he's interested. Each to their own however.

Can't work out if this answer is positive or negative!?

Good call Div.
Let’s make the forum great again!

Such a shame that people missed it, myself included, as the standing ovation is a great way to send these fans off. Hopefully the club repeat It at the start of the new season!

I agree Shull. At the end of last season my dad's name came up and I was proud as punch that I got to see his name up on the scoreboard. Meant a lot.

For me a lot of it is a matter of opinion which Stuart is of course fully entitled to as we all are. Okay it can be infuriating the way he sometimes comes across but I'm sure people say the same about me 
Stuart seems to have a more set opinion about what X was, in regards to the BTB £2 fund, with little wiggle room. He wanted much more focus on community benefit, didn't agree with us funding the St Mirren player budget and other votes that he felt weren't community beneficial (I'm simplifying this slightly given the amount of posts this covers) 
I took it as a fund that can be used to the benefit of our football club and/or community. Led by members suggestions, club requirements and SMISA decision makers. I took it as the final decision will be made by members in the way of a vote and that options on any ballot paper would be down to the popular demand of our members. It came as zero surprise to me that the majority of members would find St Mirren benefits more appealing than other options (I'm frankly very surprised anyone signing up would) 
They're different interpretations and I'm not sure anyone can say which is right and which is wrong. I looked over a lot about SMISA when the deal came up but I don't remember anything that confirmed or denied money could go directly to the club or about community benefit. An argument can also be made about a strong St Mirren being good for the community.
The flip side of that is the name of the fund and background regulation that covers it, a person can have a viable concern about what the money has been used for (They can't about legality but I'm not getting into that again). Different strokes for different folks. 
What does frustrate me about the whole thing is I feel it's a bit 'tail wagging the dog' When it comes to the £10/ £23 Vs the £2 spend. Part of me thinks would it of been simpler just to put the full £25/ £12 to the buyout and have members committing to 10 years of payments. At the end of the 10 years all the excess funds transferred to the fan owned club for a vote on how it's spent over the community and club. We wouldn't be getting all the frustration from the minority and we also likely wouldn't be getting much drop off (bar financial reasoning) 

Due to watching tv with my daughter I thought he was a ladybird in Ben and holly [emoji53]

Is that McErahahon your referring to. 

After the development of Mallan, Mcginn, McLean, McAllister, Morgan and Mcgennis do we have a next crop of youngsters that people are getting excited about??
More importantly, will any of their surnames begin with a different letter?
