Somner come off it. When you posted in the Word to the Wise thread I expressed my concern that someone was attempting to threaten you with litigation and wanting to drag you into an office to do it when all they really needed to do was post on the forum refuting your claims under their own identity. In this thread Richard has done exactly that.
You appear to be freely posting on the forum without any censorship, but you want to censor 10000hours to stop them from answering your posts. Cake and eating it springs to mind

Being sceptical over such matters is a good thing, it shows that you care.
What like about the whole proposal is the transparency and the need for votes on matters of importance.
I never want to see a single individual own my football club again. You only have to look at the damage that has been done to the Govan tax dodgers (as good as that is) to see what a single persons mistakes can cost.
The need for votes acts like a buffer. It is a democracy and to quote Winston Churchill (roughly) "Democracy is a poor form of government, but it is better that all the others we have tried".
Carry on!

Why are there no gold stars for posts like this, I'm sceptical about the CiC but I also think it's the best way forward for the clube.

Hugh Keveans (sorry for spelling) on Radio Clyde phone in.....................
Stated that the Scottish News Media were asked to come to a press conference (by SPL) this afternoon and was told what would happen if R****** went into Liquidation................
If this was to happen the "Phoenix" that comes out would need to apply to the SFA and then to SPL, At this point SPL board would then meet to look at application.
And here is the funny bit........... Jim Delahunt has got SPL rule book and I think he quoted Rule 5H
That states any club falling into Liquidation would have its result null and void and be removed from the League, no relegation from league and a second team from SFL would join the league.
Hugh's reply was amazing and I never thought I would hear it " it looks like we have a rule book for R***** and one for everybody else" "And it seeems that the rule book has been changed"
This is totally amazing that SPL have already made their mind up.
Latest out of I****
The administrators have tried to sign Cousan by applying to the SPL..........I thought their job was to save money and not put an extra £30000 a month onto the bill..............this is a joke and breaks the law..........
you cant make people redundant as will happen next week and hire somebody just before it on a higher wage

Sid & Shull.

If nothing else this should be a wakeup call to Doncaster.
1) His idea of colt teams for the OF would have had immediate severe repercussions for the third division and must be considered dead.
2) The idea that our game is built around 2 clubs in debt has been shown to be as crazy as relying on a single TV company to fund our game.
3) The re-arrangment of our league to 16/18 teams is a better longer term strategy than relying on 4 OF games a season whuich are plainly no longer reliable.
BUT most of all, our dithering chairmen MUST understand that fundamental change is the only sustainable way forwards.
They have all their eggs in one basket and that should never have been allowed to happen.
If r*ngers do disappear they won't be the last.
IMO Hearts, Aberdeen, Hibs, Dundee Utd and Killie would probably all be tipped over the edge.
The people who got us into this almighty trap should be banned from being in the game permanently.

Although I expected this news I must admit that I nearly burst with joy when I heard it announced on Sky news earlier on this good day.
Regardless of what is to come the fact that this evil entity have been brought to task and led to administration this will surely wipe the smile from the dangerous underclass that is one half of our shameful old firm support.
Today is a momentous day, one that only 3 years ago would have been unthinkable by the majority of the general public.
Today is a day when we can reflect on our own struggles with over-spending and financial battles and look back with pride at the honour and dignity that we can now boast of as our little professional football club (plc) rose from the chaotic mess.
I am proud that Saint Mirren professional football club plc faced down its (financial) demons, rode the risks and now sits once again in the top division in Scotland. I am proud of the way that we operate within our means and I proud of the sportsmanship that this entails.
I am ranting I know, but I am ranting happily!

I had this thought earlier on today. One of the (many) benefits to society and Scottish football of this evil organisation folding will be that future teenagers/young adults who statistically would have been likely to become supporters of the Govan tax dodgers will now not do so. This should (in time) see increased gates at ALL other proper Scottish football clubs as all the evil buses that leave almost every town in Scotland to attend the southside of Glasgow will dwindle.
This will happen anyway as the lure of the "gloryhunter) is already gone and we as a club will benefit from that as I am sure every other club will do so also. The only exception to this will be the business partners and pretend rivals of the Govan tax dodgers who will actually lose revenue as sections of that support also dwindle due to the lack of hatred filled derby games for them.
Whilst television revenues may decrease in ther short term, proper clubs who have run the financial side of themselves properly will be able to adjust budgets accordingly and carry on!
The very fact that the bigotted southsiders have been knocked from the preverbial pedestal will cause this effect anyway (if only to a small degree) but if they do get relegated or even better liquidated then the world will be a better place for us, our children and our childrens children.
PS To address Shull's question, Yes, the Saint Mirren professional football club could capitalise on current events by winning this seasons Scottish cup and next years SPL. I did say "could"!

I try not be someone who gloats but on this, Monday the thirteenth day of February 2012 (two thousand and twelve or 13/2/2012) I will ignore my normal persona and treat myself to a right good gloat!
Truly I must thank the Govan tax dodgers for the joy they have brought me this day. The smile on my face is the brightest and most joy ridden it has been since we beat the same tax dodging criminal's on Christmas eve (the 24th day of december 2011). Could this be the begining of a renaissance for Scottish football and Scottish society? Could this be a "levelling" of Scottish football's playing field? Could this be a bright new dawn (not a literal dawn but a euphemism) for our beloved sport in Scotland?
I would enjoy expanding on these point's that I have raised but for the time being I shall refrain from doing so. I will however express my utter joy and leave you (my fellow forum user's) with a few point's to ponder:
Think of all those years when the Govan tax dodger's beat our beloved professional football club with player's they could not afford and should never have had!
Think of the utter reprobate's who taunted us with the "Paisley loyal" banner and ask why they have abandoned the club that they the claimed to be so passionate about?
And finally, when the reprobate's speak in defence of the tax dodger's of Govan and profess loyalty to Queen and country, ask them just how many bullet proof vest's the British government would have been able to buy our troop's (fighting for Queen and country) with the 42 million pound's that the tax dodger's have fraudulently witheld from HMRC?
Rejoice fellow football supporter's REJOICE!

No HSS I do not think you are.
That said I still cannot stop smiling.
I cannot help but think of the early 1990's when the Saint Mirren professional football club was fighting for it's very survival, poor result's, losing players to smaller teams and going within one goal of oblivion (Hugh Murray scored against Stirling Albion, I do not have the date to hand). Whilst all this was going on and our club bravely came through it's darkest hour these criminal's were cheating the football world in buying player's, buying success and even failing to pay it's way by means of proper taxation!
A day of joy for all fair minded Scottish patrons.

What's the difference between r*ngers and Whitney Houston????
About 24 hours.....

Bluto is totally correct.
There is a major brainwashing going on by all Media saying Scottish Fitba will suffer with r*ngers demise.
Crap i say !
Costs will just have to be readjusted ( wages cut ) and we move on.

I just, hope to god, that our Club is purchased by St Mirren Supporters.

We have been hearing this for quite some time , never seems to come to fruition.
Would be good though for some real progress. I would add I do not think at any point it has impacted on the playing side.I think though results have not been as we would hope , there really has only been a few dissapointing displays overall.
Club is still in safe hands until such times we complete the takeover. I will be eternally grateful to Mr Gilmour & the board who played such a big part in securing our future , the training facility , the new stadium all of which ensures we can enjoy this exciting new era as Saints fans.

I'm wearing mine Poz.

Lets start preparing for Street Parties all over Scotland.
All Football Fans of Diddy Clubs invited.
Old Firm Fans - f**k OFF !

let's face it, RA is first & foremost a business man, & is also a director of another Company. Therefore he would get my vote, probably.
