God help us all!
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.

What false statements were made against Kibble?
Which legal action did they launch?
Decree Absolvitor-look it up!
It's completely disingenuous of you to make this about Kibble for everyone who has a concern, are you saying that to be interested in this you are automatically anti-kibble?
I don't know Wardrop, i know some people that I trust who say he is a blowhard and i don't support him. I support SMFC, the football team and admit that at times i have supported the team while feeling a fair bit of antipathy towards the board and some board members.
I don't understand the need to try and split the fans on the basis of whether you are concerned about some aspects of club business or are not.
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.

No, just cliche-ridden
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.

No room at the inn 🤷🤷🤷
8 into 1 doesn't go
Think if Robbo was that keen he would have given the contract extension PRIOR to him leaving for Ireland
That would have made sense
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.

His " reward " is potentially getting to one of the top teams in the LOI
Chasing trophies every season and a very good chance of Euro footy every season
And , If he delivers on that stage another move would surely beckon
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.

For every Aaron Moy there will be plenty who go on to do feck all.
Some players, for many reasons, suddenly turn into a gem, Shankland took a while to find his ideal team/manager albeit it seemingly short lived, but lots more never get much better or go lower down the leagues.
Hindsight a great trait, foresight isn't so easy.
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.

He was one of 8 strikers at the club
Realistically he wasn't going to get a proper opportunity - Toy , Mandron , Oseni and Mooney at a minimum were all ahead of him in the pecking order
This deal suits all parties - hopefully Robbo is given the money to use this window
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.

Buddies accept bids for Offord
St Mirren have accepted six figure bids from Glentoran and Linfield for Kieran Offord.
The Northern Irish pair have now been given permission to open talks with the 20-year-old.
The Buddies have just recalled the striker from a successful loan with Crusaders.
The 20-year-old is wanted by Glentoran and Linfield after his 14 goal haul in the league with their rivals.
That has sparked a bidding war and Glentoran and Linfield were able to outmuscle Coleraine.
St Mirren could make significant money on their academy graduate, with a six figure fee, add ons and European qualification included within the bid
Disappointing, felt there was opportunity there to give him a chance over the next few months given how poor our forwards have been recently.
If he doesn’t cut it, if he wants to move on, fine for the summer. Almost certainly due compensation for anywhere he’s likely to go.
-
With the news Olusanya has rejected the contract extension, I hope this changes the plans a bit for Offord.
Got to imagine Scott, Ayunga, Jamieson are joining him on an exit, either now or the summer. Think there’s a decent chance Mandron will be released as well & Oseni is seen as a project. So it’s big changes in the forward department.
Give the young lads, with great potential a chance. They almost can’t do any worse than what we have seen in many of the recent league games.

QOS 1-3 Saints, job done and almost a full game for young Penman.
Seems to have done well & got an assist… probably won’t see him play again for 2 months 😅
-
Another game where Mooney doesn’t get on. I can’t grasp that at all… against league 1 opposition?
Is there something going on behind the scenes?
-
It’s actually getting beyond explaining now.
Why on earth did Robbo not change it at the back in the build up to the goal? It was coming for a good 10 minutes.Why on earth did he have ‘the best finisher at the club’ waiting to come on for so long, only to be given about 3 minutes after they scored?
Generally really awful line-up, formation & game management.
Another game where we got what we deserved, nothing.

Robbo has work on his hands to turn this form around.
He could start by bringing back a footballer into the squad like young Fraser Taylor.
I know there would be issues with throwing in too many young lads but it’s hard to see how F Taylor, Offord & Mooney haven’t done enough to at least get a run in the team.
So many players miles off the pace, it’s tough to imagine them being worse.
-
Game is all but over, why on earth is he brining on Ayunga? A perfect opportunity to give Mooney more minutes.
All the young lads that have played recently should be on the bench & getting minutes in a game like this. I can’t workout Robbo’s thinking at all here.

Nothing to learn I know we are shite maybe it's you that needs to open your eyes.The only game we might have a chance of winning is QOS Aberdeen will get out of there rut when we go up there.
Back to back top six finishes & three seasons in a row, finishing in league positions we haven’t seen since the 80s.
If you had been remotely right over that period, we’d be playing part time football by now.

f**ksake might not win another game for weeks we are that bad.
You really never learn, do you? 😂

2-0, game over. First game of the season I haven’t bothered to watch in any capacity.
Games against either of the arse cheeks are generally a free hit but I’ve been skunnererd with the last two performances. Couldn’t see us putting up any sort of fight against a wounded Celtic side & we seemingly haven’t.

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.
