It really isn't. 
See post above.
If you can't see some similarities you're not really hoping that this mess will ever be resolved.
Again, exceedingly difficult after the escalation by Hamas a few weeks ago. 
Time IS a great healer. If any attempts had been made for peace after the atrocity above or bombings in England they would have failed yet here we are. 

Firstly, out of interest Gunni T, what was the response like when you previously posted re the same subject? And secondly, I'm a member of SMiSA but also one of the 21% you are looking to contact.....is your intention to set up another "block vote" option?  My worry would be that we could be in trouble of "faction building" and potential "divisiveness" at Board level. As "independent" shareholders we already have the opportunity to attend AGM's and question direction of travel, finance etc and can vote on any issues requiring a vote at those meetings. I guess in essence what are you trying to achieve?

What difference theses guys make. Brilliant effort. Was happy to donate the small amount I could afford. Carry the great work.

Dear oh dear oh dear.
 
I'm grasping the fact that you are keen to dismiss (selectively) the funding application that brought about this unfortunate "scenario"
You can spout as much bollox as you like. There is no mistaking, the funding application started this whole affair.
There would have been no talk of any of this, if that funding application hadn't been made or & it is a big OR
Conversations & agreements in principle had been had with the club 1st.
You carry on sweeping Basil but that pile of shite you're trying to bury, isn't wanting to be buried just yet.
Enjoy the rest of the season. Here's hoping, it is as successful as the start so far.
 

Apparently, someone thinks that because the funding wasn't granted and, even if it was, it would have required SMFC approval for the plan to go ahead, that nothing of note has occurred. The fact that Kibble used the SMFC charity name in their proposal without consent and presented SMFC land to be used in their proposal without consent, seems to not matter a jot to someone.

As I have previously said, it's about the trustworthiness of those involved.

Basil,
The scenario you now claim never happened, started with a funding application from Kibble to build on land, they didn't own & without the landowners knowledge.
Just because the stadium ban has been lifted for AW, I doubt the "scenario" is going to be simply brushed under the carpet as easily as you desire it to.
No matter how many times you say it, it simply isn't true that it is a trivial matter, especially not with the court action taken so far.
You are very mistaken in suggesting, the "scenario" didn't happen.
Without that funding application, this "scenario" would never have happened.
Hopefully, lessons have been learned & scenarios like this never happen again.
 

I'm a celebrity comes back soon and that will eat up a comparative, if not even larger slice of airtime on our tellies and teaches us sod all.  Why not complain about that?
FFS, It's a few telly programmes over a few weeks once a year, not a threat to so-called national identity.  The only unpleasant aspect is the fact that it is used to try and remind us that Lenny Henry was once funny.  
Can't you just let people have that without complaining?  Scotland has a channel dedicated to Scottish content and a large part of that focusses on the general history of Scotland and rarely touches on black history
The same goes for other UK national tv channels that focus on generic UK history.
Given the exploitation, prejudice and rejection that Black people have had to and still endure, it can only be helpful if they remind themselves and the rest of us what their history in the UK actually is, because there will no meaningful reconcilliation between groups unless people go into that process.
Maybe you are making the mistake of thinking that events like Black History Month are an exclusive celebration of Black culture and that's not the case.  It's an opportunity for everyone to get involved and learn more about how the nation came to be as it is.

Let’s not forget that when Kibble were introduced to us, we were promised a different approach and a new , better level of professionalism. 

I don’t know if this debacle has been Under hand or a basic error but one thing it’s hasn’t been is Professional. 

I almost posted the same last night.
He could use that drivel for almost any game.
Make ye greet, a 4-0 win, 3rd top of the league and you get this. 🙄

That’s got a touch of the “if ma auntie had baws” about it. 

The scoreline flattered us. We're lucky they're pish and Baccus scored a beaut! After the second goal they collapsed. Had they took the lead it would have been a whole different game! 

Occasionally and regularly. 

A good addition to the High Street...................it's still called the High Street, isn't it? 
So the fencing is down on the new Paisley Central Library . you might wonder what the white pieces of metal refer to that stick out the front, it refers to the pages of a book being turned !

Good luck!

I've never understood why any "group" that feels marginalised tries to get "equality" by singling themselves out.  To me, the whole thing should be about inclusivity, avoiding labels, not pointing out differences.

Why has August not got a capital a at the beginning of it. Some could class that as discrimination. Where's TT when you need him. [emoji14]

It's usually January, February March April May June July august September October November December…
… at least it has been for a couple of centuries, as far as I know…

I’d pull him up about his spelling!
But he’d likely charge me for the privilege. 

Just wanted to add my thoughts before I sign off from this thread
The "scum Israelis", in my view are the group in power who hide behind a weak Netanyahu as they continue to push their fear & persecution agenda so that they can gain & retain power, whether that be for the sake of Ideaology, personal gain, ignorance or a combination thereof.
The vast majority of Israelis would be reasonable people whose attitudes & instincts are tempered by the situation they find themselves in.  Like many in our country, the fear mongers have developed a warped sense of identity, entitlement and persecution in what they see as their homeland and a lot of ordinary people who would come to a different conclusion are being led up the garden path.  In work, I often refer to the work of Stanley Milgram when exploring behaviours and he sought out, as the child of Jewish refugees, to understand how perfectly decent and reasonable Germans were led to committ the atrocities of the third reich.  His research suggests to many that the presence of an "authority figure" who absolves people of any responsibility they might feel when carrying out command, a common subject or enemy, an unremitting message & line of command along with an end that justifies the means are the basic blocks of manipulating mass behaviour.  People's behaviours towards others are basically motivated by either fear (hatred is simply a product of fear) or kindness and you can convince people that the best way to be kind to their kin is to unite against someone else.  
There will only be peace for Israel once they accept the fragility and unsustainability of their position and the fact that they really should be doing more to educate their own people and look for a way out of conflict.  Israel is like Palestine, they are a weak nation if left to their own devices and their strength comes from those who subsidise and support them and Palestine's situation is that they are also a weak nation with significantly less outside support.  I really think that Israellis should be asking if it continues to be both fair and sustainable for them to be so dependent on other countries for their sustainability and protection.  I also think Israel needs to rein in their ambitions to restore their domain to what they have been led to believe is their birthright, it isn't.  No part of the earth is anybody's birthright, we are caretakers, not owners and the lack of a concept of being able to share is the backstory to all wars.
So my not very scientific view is that Israel needs to look to a series of compromises that restores human rights to everyone in their region and the outside actors need to step away from enabling one side whilst offering poor mitigation to the other for the harm done.  The outside actors , in my view, are so scared of offending the pro-Israelli lobby that they simply accede to the demands of the lobby and just continue to compound the mistakes of the past, probably thinking that as individuals they will will be footnotes in history by the time the obvious ultimate shitfest occurs.   In order to quell the pro-Israelli lobby they need to work on the attitudes INSIDE Israel so that the lobby can't continually demand arms & warfare.  Israel and their neighbours need to work on what they can do FOR each other rather than what they can do TO each other.
The whole area was a giant f**k-up as soon as the outsiders decided they knew best and the only way out of it is for outside parties to stop enabling the entrenched positions and foster a much more benevolent and compassionate attitude.  In short, take away the fear and you have no reason to fight.
All that being said, it seems to me that unless a totalitarian regime is in place, nobody settles for anything in the near-east and most of the screw-ups started with the removal of totalitarians.  At least it has been proven that warfare and killing is a cycle and not a solution so maybe there is hope, somewhere.
 
Debate, discuss, argue all you want, i might read it but won't be responding.

Fuxake, 19 years ago...

Wow.
Same artist 2 nights running and not only very different shows, but very different experiences.
Friday night was Mancunian singer Little Sparrow in Coatbridge for her first ever gig in Scotland.
She smashed it and captivated the crowd.
I've been a fan for around 8 years but had only seen her live twice... In Manchester 2018, and in Cockermouth earlier this year.
I've been nagging her to play in Scotland for years.
Never one to miss an opportunity, I asked if she would consider a house gig whilst here.
Hence gig 2... A house gig in East Kilbride for 25 very fortunate souls who were totally blown away! 

The fact that many people have pointed out is that the bombardment of areas where civilians live and the order to vacte other areas are the reasons so many were using the hospital for shelter as well as healthcare, so  who blew up what only matters to a certain extent.  Something was going to explode in that area at some point and a load of innocents were going to be hurt.
Aside that, there are the thousands of civilians killed, around 50% of the population of Gaza is under 18, so it's not correct to say that all residents are combatants at this stage.
Hamas are responsible for their own actions, Netanyahu failed miserably on his security promises and could well have been relying on the threat of a disproportionate response as a deterrent to any hostilities.  The problem with perpetual threats is that people eventually become emboldened by living under them.  Netanyahu is a fool and it seems he failed to realise his responsibility extends to mitigating unintended consequences, so he bounces himself into killing loads more people when he knows he can't really disassemble Hamas in the way he promises.
