  1. He could be honoured as the first employee to take us to an employment tribunal? I think the issue is, if he was honoured in that way it would be fitting to invite him to take a bow and I really don't know if he has forgiven the club for sacking him
  2. I'd agree on this, you should be able to register on your chosen club's platform for away tickets. The current system, or lack of, makes a mockery of the early access to tickets given to ST holders
  3. Bandwidth Beholden (beholding) anything said on GB news Anything said on Talk TV
  4. But Shakespeare wrote in the idiom of his time, and if he had written it then it would have been "Ye" The one that is on the wall is more based on the town-crier call of "hear ye" which was picked up by English fans and is still fukkin stupid
  5. But stupidity will be compounded in the UK, that is a certainty. Stability for this country looks like being as shit next week as we were this week and last. The leave vote was secured by the urban northern-english looking for a scapegoat for their troubles despite the architects of their plight being the ones who told them they had the cure, like a reverse-vaccine. Oh wow! we can make our own laws! Big deal, we used to largely make the laws for the whole of Europe.
  6. Billy As we recall, the biggest shots to the foot came from board members who thought they were the reason for the success and successively 2 brilliant managers were chased out, I just feel that the Kibble people have the capability to go down that road. It's true though, we always seem fragile and one idiot away from a full about face when things are going well. Who knows where it would all have gone if we had kept the head between 78 and 81 and again when some idiot let Craig, Goodwin and others loose on what was looking a pretty stable unit after the usual post-success slump was arrested early by Lennon
  7. Nope, it is abandoning a failed small and inward-looking union for a functioning and expanding one By your logic, it would seem that leaving unions is a good idea anyway
  8. In this case, once you're in, you're in! The two entities became entwined as soon as SMISA gave up it's rights to buy Scott's shares and there was no protecting anyone from any adverse outcomes after that. What we have had so far has been mildy unpalatable off the field and we should remember that the fortunes of the club on the park this last while are all down to players, professional coaches and support staff who operate independently of Kibble "assistance". Hopefully this episode has Needham realising that Kibble need to pull their horns in and that he acts accordingly. It is, at the very least, messy.
  9. might be a case of someone alerting the regulator or maybe just a regulator actually doing it's job. All in it's a good thing.
  10. Maybe you didn't subscribe to the forum at the time when Shull and the Phantom Bantam were pals. He is more than able to look after himself but to watch the way those two went after Antin, Isle of Bute Saint, Lord Pityme and a few others with their incessant baiting was less than edifying. I don''t think Antrin is in the least troubled by these guys, more that it amuses him to point out the nonsense levels on a forum he used to enjoy posting on. If he thinks we can get back to the very enjoyable debate we used to have then he is sadly mistaken, that's all I'll say. People who wouldn't say a word to you in real settings are revelling in the anonymous hard-man schtick and they love it too much to let it go. They actually think every lost poster is a wee victory for them.
  11. A typo, not spelling. look up the difference. Show me a veiled threat that I made, you were the one suggesting that someone should meet you but they would shite themselves. Too much rats piss in your cave on Saturday night certainly loosened your tongue in a most unpleasant way.
  12. At least that guy can back it up, to some extent!
  13. You should be aware that one of these individuals offered to settle their differences with Antrin in a boxing ring a few years ago, a classy touch to offer violence to someone who was already a pensioner and who he would never have me or wnat to meet (sic)
  14. I take your point, but the announcement does mention sky sports. Even if it were to be a Sunday game due to Europa league, Sky would still move the kick-off from 3pm or to an empty midweek slot.
  15. Ticketing and refunds are all down to the home team, maybe the club should offer an optional partial refund, a voucher for someone else to attend in your absence or a guest voucher for someone to come with you to a future game where there is likely to be room. That might be costly though but maybe for a small extra sum the club could recognise the realities of live televised games and the impact of guaranteed date & time changes when we play the scum in Paisley. European ties are one thing but we know Sky and maybe others will be there for at least three home games every season and the kick-off times will be changed to suit their schedule even if the date isn't.
  16. If you are going to bully someone on another's behalf, at least get the spelling and grammar right
  17. Won’t affect us Billy as we only use buses that accept the national entitlement card
  18. To summarize the overnoght postings on this subject "Don't delay leave today Get out now while you can Don't be daft leave your half To the hard drinking man And if they start knocking It's just the booze talking They've got the Malt and Barley Blues"
  19. Livingston's tactics were to push, kick and lean on our guys at every contact and with the size of their players it is incredibly hard to counter that if you put out a side of comparative midgets. The ref was also scandalous and if he couldn't make a decision he stopped the game and ordered a bounce up, which he usually handled by dropping the ball in front of one player. On one occassion two players tangled while waiting for a free kick and got up, he stopped the game, took the ball 8 metres to the left of where the free kick had been taken and dropped it for Saints to pLay. Why he did't just ignore the tangle and let them sort themselves out is beyond me. On that basis I'd say that if we had had a strong ref then they would have been 3 or 4 bookings to the bad by half time and they could easily have been risking a dismissal for the persistent fouling. All that being said, if Dunne was fit then we need his height and pace from the start, and we could have been using Gogic in front of the defence and defending the high line more effectively. We were wasteful on both wings, with McMenamin being naive ratther than uselesll in his passing. With all that said, anyone who thinks a fit Alex,O'Hara doesn't walk straight back into that team is somewhat deluded. Jamieson also looks like a young man on the verge of cutting loose and REALLY showing us what he's got, we werea different side going forward when McMenamin went off. The shortcomings of the squad as it is right now have cost us two wins and the ref's haven't helped, meanwhile the team selections seem more set up to suit the manager's philosophy than they are for the opposition's game and conditions.
  20. I'm pretty sure they will open another section if the initial allocation sells out, they really need the money
