  1. You'll notice this is a common trait of his!!
  2. I guess the answer is that now there are “voting blocks” that carry percentage (ie SMiSA’s 51%) and don’t really require the “show of hands” as before
  3. So maybe, just maybe, the last great club that fell on it's arse was just a few miles up the road who's fans never asked enough questions.....other than being a SMiSA member and having a few original shares, pre-SMiSA, I have no real skin in the game but, f**k me, to not at least ask questions is bat-shit crazy. I love the fact that we are top six and maybe heading for Europe (I've done all that before right enough) but would swap all of that for survival, we nearly lost all of that before. I'm not for a second suggesting that that's where we are but to not ask questions, especially when we are apparently fan owned, is beyond due diligence. I don't know AW personally but I've been around the club for a long time and don't believe he'd do anything deliberately to harm St Mirren. The "nothing to see here" argument falls on it's fat arse every time and everything, in good business, is challenged every time....it's why it works. Let it play out and hopefully the truth will out.
  4. C'mon BoK, you know relying on Baz as your "in the know guy" is never going to end well ...... you've argued with him aplenty ovet the years 😉
  5. Apparently he's on his way to East Kilbride with Si Ferry as his assistant.
  6. FFS…..they brought on Hagi, Raskin and Arfield, we had no one near that quality on our bench. The work rate was always going to see a dip in tempo towards the end. We don’t have anywhere near the quality they have to bring on at 75 minutes and that’s the big difference.
  7. That’s a pretty niche put down Bud 😂😂
  8. To be fair I was just hoping to tempt you out to give us all the inside track……..ya throbber!!
  9. Not so surprising if his wife and kids are still living just outside Sunderland which they were when he was in Dundee I think.
  10. Did it sound like a "positive offer" or a "protect the development fee offer"?
  11. Without the reliance on “membership fees “ (your term not mine) the club wouldn’t be (51%) owned by the supporters….there are a number of issues that require addressing but that has always been the case. I have reservations about how the club move forward but that’s been true for 54 years.
  12. Well that didn't last very long 🙈....I was on it too but just a Single!!
  13. Gordon McQueen.....second from right in back row??
  14. For balance let's even that up slightly by giving you MoD "Ajax" contract, £5bn spent and not one of the 589 vehicles promised to be delivered by 2017 has yet appeared, Crossrail £3bn overspend, HS2 now looking like doubling in cost and let's not even begin with the Covid procurement scandals. Reality is that Government Procurement is shite in both Holyrood and Westminster, Brussels too.
  15. Although I would have agreed with the sub you're suggesting we were already 2 down when Small came on, after he came on we never quite looked as exposed down the left as we had with the Tanser/Taylor partnership.
  16. I thought they were largely agreeing with each other but maybe not 🤷‍♂️
  17. We’ve brought back two, albeit young players, who play in his position. In numbers we’re no worse off although Brophy was more experienced.
  18. Come now Thorizaar, you know this isn't how things work around here with your facts and context......half truths, cloaked accusations and downright untruths are all that "Really" matter
  19. The game is however far more athletic and faster…..common injury types have changed a lot from the 70’s to the current day. What would be interesting to know, and I haven’t looked into this, would be distance covered in a season between the two sports ( maybe even include training). That said there is probably more twisting in Tennis which also takes it’s toll……..the only thing for certain is that to play either sport at the top level you have to be an incredible athlete. Anyway…….C’mon Andy
  20. Maybe the manager just wants him off the payroll 🤷‍♂️
  21. Where's that guy that counts the dots.......he must have plenty time on his hands.

    Mr Gilmour

    I think Bonzo was referring to the two younger candidates who didn't make it onto the Board through the ballot and were then, I think, latterly co-opted on to the Board.....I'm sure I read that in a SMiSA update but may be wrong 🤷‍♂️
