Did anyone else see the Japanese Fans at the World Cup cleaning up their used food and drinks cartons at the end of games? Great idea to introduce at the Stadium. Just provide bins on the way out for fans to use. Tying in to the seats thread - why not get each of us to wipe the seat down before and after use. It is "our stadium" after all and we should all take a pride in it. Shouldn't we?
There should be bins at the front where the stewards sit during matches.

Watching the goals on buddievision - the ref called the first one right - we didnt really even appear to stop playing, maybe Heaton pulled from challenging the guy in the box but the keeper just did poorly.
-
Couple of things - Cammy Smith needs to be played centrally, he's not a wide player and never will be, we need to have our best players in their best positions.
Heaton looked awful, struggled to control the ball and was out of position a lot - he did start to look a bit more confident in the last half hour and hopefully its just a bit of nerves playing his first game but first impressions were not great.
I thought Baird played okay, he certainly looked a lot better than Heaton.
King's distribution was terrible, he must have had 10-15 crosses and none of them hit a man.
Kudos to the Spartans team and the goalie in particular who pulled off some brilliant saves towards the end, he was a character too.
Thank god we have Stephen McGinn, in his first 5 seconds on the pitch he showed the rest of the team what it was all about and led by example as usual.

Nice wee article about Jason - says good things about the buds.

I would have thought in this case, Scott Allan would have to be financially evaluated and the monetary value built in.
That's where it gets messy - usually theres something in the contract to say that its kept separate but from what i understand this clause wasnt inserted with McGinn's.
Would be easier all round if another player isnt involved.

No.
Didnt think it would be, there was no argument between us or anything offensive there.

Collective dummy spit?
I have hardly spat the dummy - as yet anyway - and who am I supposed to be a collective with?
I haven't breached any of the forum guidelines unlike others who issue threats, like Cockles, or those who make racist posts, like Pozbaird. I don't even think anyone could claim I was being impolite in any way to Marrez - one of a very few BAWA users I've respected for a number of years.
I won't be boosting Div's user stats by creating another alias.
Is that what you got sinbinned for? That's nuts, there wasnt any argument there.

We also lost another bud last week - Andy Wilson, 52 - funeral was yesterday.

Thats not true Mark. His email address according to the SMiSA website is [email protected]. And even if it wasnt I clicked on the "contact" button on the SMiSA website.
Its over a year ago now but at various points I emailed a number of different SMiSA board members and David was the only one I got no response from.
Edited to add.. Actually on checking back George Adam also didn't respond.
He has nothing in his smisa mail from you, only correspondence he has relating to you was between you and Colin Orr.

I don't know David either, but can say that he absolutely answers emails as I've emailed him several times and got a reply every time. Maybe it's just you...
Your little world must be so simple, believing everything that goes on inside you little head, going to imaginary dinner parties and sounding off on a forum to release your pent-up frustration with life.
For the record, dave's never been contacted by Stuart on email, but maybe he's spelled his name wrong on the email - as its Nicol, not Nichol.

He doesn't respond to posts on forums. And if he is taking concerns and ideas from members to the board theres little evidence of it. IIRC wasn't he also named publicly as Gordon Scotts preferred candidate - even being seconded by him?
Obviously this time round I'm not a member of SMiSA but I do hope a higher percentage of the membership feel engaged than did last time and I really hope theres no attempt - unlike last time - to restrict candidates to the post.
One line in the statement suggested SMiSA were limiting candidates to the board to SMiSA committee members only. I really hope that isn't true. That really would look like a complete carve up.
I do know Dave and i can tell you the amount of time and effort he and the other guys put into the St Mirren takeover was huge. He doesnt reply to posts on forums because he doesnt use forums but im certain if you emailed him then he would respond, he's approachable, friendly and was by far the outstanding candidate, he would have been Gordon's preferred candidate given the work they had done together at that point.
All the guys involved in getting the takeover off the ground put in hundreds of hours at their own expense of time and family commitments but its easy to be critical of people from behind a computer, the opportunity is there for everyone to be more involved in Smisa if they want to and think they can do a better job.

GS doesnt pick the Smisa member, Smisa pick the Smisa member.
As for a yes man for GS, nothing could be further from the truth, we currently have a superb Smisa representative on the board who brings a lot to the table and was hugely instrumental in the buyout of the club from the old board. When his tenure is up we will be lucky to get someone else with as much drive and enthusiasm for the club but im confident the members will pick the right guy as we did at the last election.

Has anyone seen the back of the home shirt yet?
I reckon a panel will send many of us into meltdown
back has a strike too, its not just a panel.

If the teaser is the actual strip I don't think it would be that far away to be honest. Joma will be working to a template and it's pretty evident from the picture what the collar will look like and what the detail is on the main stripe. The only way - I'd imagine - it would be significantly different would be if they decided to go with a predominately white top with just the single black stripe down the middle with the black and red collar detail.
I suspect the away kit will be the Joma variety that has two stripes down the left hand side of the top - similar to the Romania away kit - but with a single black and a single white instead of the two yellow ones.
New away strip fades from red into black, (mainly red) its nice.

If he was a success at Hibs he would still be there !
He wasnt sacked though, he decided to leave.

Just now, StuD said:
In fairness Marrez this is why a board and its fans realistic expectations and the available budget should be the top concern for any manager. County sacked McIntyre and brought Coyle in. That went well, didn't it?
Was more concerned about the imbalance in the squad and turnover of players, it has Alex Rae written all over it.
-
Not great reading re McIntyre's time at Ross County.
From when he was sacked.

How can Stubbs possibly be appointed before McIntyre.
His league record as a manager is probably as bad as it gets, couple of good cup runs and thats it.
Kearney is an unknown and we'd have to trust the boards judgement. Don't think he'll get it mind.
Caldwell for me is a non starter.
Granted at Rotherham it was terrible - but his win rate at Hibs was 58% over 100 games.
Jack Ross over 80 games was 52.5% - its absolutely anything but "as bad as it gets".
One thing id say, the board interviewed last time and got it right, they discounted guys like Csaba Laszlo, and after interviewing only did Jack become the best man for the job when there was some decent Scottish names in for it.
Ive full confidence that while the guy we pick might not be the most inspired choice that it will be a decent appointment again, this board are 1 for 1 and they are not idiots.

Aye right - so the press just pulled those names out of thin air and decided they all wanted the job.
That's basically what you did with John Kennedy, someone who is not even in the running for the job nor is being interviewed.

He couldn't even get Hibs promoted from the Championship. I understand the Sevvies were there too but Hearts were miles clear (under Neilson as well) of Hibs when they won the league. Cup success is all nice and well but the league results with Hibs concern me.
He only finished with a point less than what Hibs won the league with the following season, he had a very good win rate, better even than Jack's with us while he was manager there.

Faced with a less patient board, Jack could have been sacked after three months with us.
Absolutely fair point.

I've heard he is a decent option.
He did great for hibs, but sacked after 2 months at Rotherham is a concern.

I think Stubbs will interview well and it will be him.
Where was VAR when we needed it?

Watched it again on buddievision - the ref was correct and Heaton was playing the Spartans player onside - didnt even matter that it deflected off our guy.
Linesman got it wrong, ref called it right, we didnt even appear to stop really.
