RIP BEK. To say we had our back and forths would be an understatement. But never in question his passion for St Mirren Football Club.

I just struggle a bit with your end game. Angry & concerned forever more while the team storm it & the club is operated exceptionally well 🤷‍♂️ Good luck to you.

Seems to me like you’re just trying for an argument. The court ruled in favour of the Kibble directors. AW lost. He can just thank his lucky stars he isn’t (even more so) out of pocket. I’m also not saying everyone with a concern needs to be anti Kibble. But AW is, some notable posters on here are. It’s disingenuous to claim otherwise. The arguments this was a bad SMISA decision on bringing the Kibble in have evaporated. People are welcome to their concerns from the fallout of this but imo, it’s a massive stretch for anyone using it as an argument that we got the Kibble share vote wrong. The club are hammering it right now & like it or not that’s down to a collective. Kibble can’t be excluded from that.

I’m actually struggling to understand what the AW supporters are standing by. This is my high level take of what’s happened. AW makes false statements about the Kibble. Kibble takes him to court for defamation with financial support from the charity. Seemingly because they agreed with the premise of the legal case to protect their directors & their name. Kibble win the case but under the law, it wasn’t deemed damages were appropriate. Kibble now need to deal with legal costs & an investigation logged into the use of funds. I don’t see any integrity issues here at all, it does just seem like they’re protecting their names from confirmed false statements against them. What is AW celebrating here. His false statements taking money out of a charity? It being shown in a court of law he was wrong? (Even if it is from a position of ignorance)

Thought I would nip in to see how much this dead horse was being flogged… My summary, an awful lot by very few people. It’s actually refreshing to see most do have the view of getting this in the bin. As per other posts, it’s time to lay this one to rest and move on. (The matter not the discussion, crack on of course) The ‘Kibble out’ brigade have struggled as initial teething problems were quickly ironed out & we seen a steady as she goes improvement under the new ownership model. It’s now ridiculous straw clutching even for them. Was that too many idioms? Anyway, Kibble are going nowhere and those that backed the new owner model at the time have been completely vindicated. People like @animal were wrong.

It’s the hope that kills you. Our game ultimately didn’t matter for Europe & a draw is a good result at the Green Tourists. Aberdeen utter wanks.

Great dig yesterday from the team to get that over the line. It’s been a funny old season but we are where we deserve to be. Obviously a massive ask to get above anyone else in the top 6 but you never know. Looking forward to a few games that can just be enjoyed without any real pressure.

Can we seriously just bin VAR? There can’t be many that can hand on heart say it’s good for the Scottish game, while we retain this level of incompetent officials. They go hand in hand. Incapable officials = VAR being a waste of everyone’s time.

No way is that a clear & obvious mistake. Red should stand all day long. Another inconsistency with VAR.

As per, the ref is giving the Glasgow Derby team everything. We’ll need to manage that I would say. positive first 40 minutes.

Felt that was coming after the first half an hour. You don’t take chances, you don’t deserve to win/ progress in football games. Rest of the season is going to be a slog to avoid a relegation battle. Then the team needs a big refresh in the summer. I know it’s been said before but that summer recruitment was really poor. I just hope we can clear out a number of these players on longer contracts. Too many that don’t deserve to be getting paid full time football wages & that is being shown, time & time again.

Have to imagine a lot of that 8 are moving on. LJ away, Olusanya rejected contract. Can’t imagine there is still a place for Ayunga & Scott at the club next season. If we also think of Mooney & Oseni as projects and that Mandron isn’t cutting it regularly enough… Spaces seem to be there.

That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about us rewarding him for doing exactly as we would have wanted him to do on loan. Score goals & impress. Held up his side of the bargain, should be given a chance to step up here over the remainder of his contract imo.

It’s a fair comment & it’s the argument I often use when people bemoan the contract situation of young players we lose (Reid & Sutherland as recent examples). If we go too early on people that show promise, for every John McGinn we tie down long term, we have five Thomas Reilly’s collecting a wage. If we go too late, the players & their agents know their worth & getting them signed down is far harder. This one maybe feels slightly different in we have seemingly asked Offord to go & do the business on loan, he has done & it doesn’t look like he’ll get a chance as a reward. He also isn’t being lost to a much bigger fish. Again speculation but I would assume if we wanted to tie him down & give him first team football, he’d stay over going to Northern Ireland. Is what it is I suppose & yet to be seen what happens. Here’s hoping the young lads we have got under contract right now give us a better football/ financial return.

Just hope it isn’t another Aaron Mooy situation where we cut loose a great prospect without realising what we have. Toy moving on (and probably Mandron) in the summer could have given an opportunity here.
