    beyond our ken got a reaction from WDR in St Mirren V Celtic League Cup Semi Final   
    Safe to say, we Thominated from start to finish.
    Despite recent comments to the contrary, I went to the game today. I just knew we could do it but couldnt explain why.
    i got up yesterday morning with a thumping hangover courtesy of the BA lounge at Heathrow and decided "it is written" I knew an upset was on the cards and i had to be there, but didn't have a ticket yet- I had until 1 PM to get to Paisley.
    I didnt feel safe to drive until 11:30 so i gave it an extra half hour to do the 50 miles from home to the ticket office. Usually takes a minimum of 65 minutes, i did it in 55 as the empty roads opened up before me (an omen)
    i was so proud of every player-especially carey. it took me 40 minutes to realise the guy putting in those precise and crunching tackles was our former celt.
    Many players settled a score today and i'm pleased for them. Hearts in the final-we should get Campbell Money in to the dressing room to explain just HOW badly we need to beat them. Pound to a penny they will be playing on the grudges from 86 and 87 and we need to respond in kind. It will be a helluva final.

    looking more and more that senior persons in the BBC and in health boards either colluded to protect jimbo or simply tolerated his behaviour at a time when complaints could just be waved away.
    Perhaps, even if he was exposed sooner, he would have got let off in much the same way as that creep Townshend.
    Still waiting on that book you were researching, Petey boy

    for ELO fans

    Jeff lynne has a solo album, a rework of ELO hits, a BBC documentary on o5/10 and an apparent reunion with hos keybord oppo Richard Tandy (maybe THE best prog-rock keyboardist) in the offing
    I think i smell Glastonbury 2013, the brits and maybe more
    not so sure about the ELO retro, but the covers album sounds stunning

    You are unnecessarly sensitive. i take it to mean that they will be very selective as to who they will consider from here on in and it is not an inferred criticism of anyone associated with the failed bid. I'm sure the board will be happy to deal with anyone who was associated with 10000 hours and who is able to bring a credibl proposal to the table

    fair enough, your assertion that gossip based on 20% of the facts equals the truth trumps anything i have to offer

    beyond our ken got a reaction from BLF in Update From 10000Hours   
    I'd be really careful about making that kind of accusation, unless you have proof to back it up. Even SG stopped well short of saying that he even suspected that. He did indulge in a wee bit of insinuation, but it never went beyond that.
    as far as we know, K McG is still a saints fan with the best interests of the club at heart, albeit a little misguided in his handling of his bid

    I'd imagine not, what will come out now is that some sort of bond has been promised to the SFA/SFL in exchange for a license and league membership.
    The debts are starting to build up already-interesting times. i really do feel another crash coming on

    Things were way better when we had farry, the game was run much more efficiently when he was in charge. He got suckered into a war with mcCann who needed a victory for his unwashed army. The campaign to get him removed was the greatest crime against Scottish Football as it left the OF in an untouchable position and the game has never recovered.

    What is influencing them? at a guess I'd say they are being tied to chairs with their eyelids clamped open in an auditorium as they are fed drugs and are forced to watch a flm loop of murder, rape, earthquake, pestillence, hunger poverty and sodomy as Jim Traynor's latest back-flipping editorial covering the doom that awaits anyone who doesnt give rangers everything they want is read out at a volume of 110 decibels by Ian McKellen

    You are not so naive as to think that TTH are not a viable and potentially extremely effective pressure point that can get the consortium to distance themselves from the SPL proposal. Nobody is saying walk away for ever, but the fans should be king in this scenario and we need to know we are being valued.

    Crowd funding or crowdfunding (alternately crowd financing, equity crowdfunding, or hyper funding) describes the collective cooperation, attention and trust by people who network and pool their money and other resources together, usually via the internet, to support efforts initiated by other people or organizations.[citation needed] Crowd funding occurs for any variety of purposes,[1] from disaster relief to citizen journalism to artists seeking support from fans, to political campaigns, to funding a startup company, movie [2] or small business[3] or creating free software.
    .....
    The United States based company ArtistShare (2000/2001) is documented as being the first crowdfunding website for music.....
    So it's been around since 2000 or earlier and wasn't invented by 10000hours trying to look smart.
    And please take notice of the phrase "collective cooperation" in the description above, to see that there is no "they". Once you sign up for 10khours it becomes "we" not "they".
    It seems like you're living in the dark ages and have no ambition to help move the club forward.

    If the inner sanctum of 10000 hours are bandying around phrases like "crowd sourced funding" then it's most likely a good thing they dont have legs left to get their bid over the line.
    When people resort to using hackneyed buzz-phrases when describing other humans then it usually means at least one of two things
    1. they have little imagination and are trying to look smart by inventing their own little language
    2. they have no regard for the people they are talking about.
    Just so you all know, the supporters of St Mirren, the club you all believe you are fit to control, are not a "crowd". They are a body of passionate people who care about the institution of the club
