oaksoft Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 If you're a fully paid member of SMISA, you could have a say over the tannoy system, how the club is run, how we price fixtures, and even how much the club spends on player wages... Exactly. Why on earth would anyone want shull having a say on this sort of stuff? Recipe for disaster. Do you WANT a part time Saints?

faraway saint Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Given that your understanding of football is more limited than Miranda Hart's comedy repertoire, I think we can all be thankful that you've opted not to become involved. While I agree that Oaky doesn't understand "football" it's his opinion and as such is a valid as anybodies. Do you really believe that the people who support this are all clued up on the ins and outs of running a football club? Is it going to be the case that anybody who doesn't wan't to go with this is dismissed? #gettingmessy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Pityme Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 A bit like you. You have constantly slated our current BOD who have taken us from debt and near liquidation to debt free in a brand new stadium. Guess what our current BOD are St Mirren fans themselves. What makes you think the new BOD would be better fans? Oh and I think your 9 million pound valuation of the stadium is a tad out. The BOD are struggling to sell the lot for a fraction of that valuation. That is the valuation of the stadium, not my or anyone elses opinion. Who would or wouldnt pay that is irrelevant as that is the security for a loan. Re all your other stuff i have already said i retract all criticism of the howlers the current BoD presided over in recognition of the work they have done to get this agreement to sell to the fans. Now what is your point caller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doakes Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Exactly. Why on earth would anyone want shull having a say on this sort of stuff? Recipe for disaster. Do you WANT a part time Saints? I refer you to Not saying that everyone would agree with you But lets not derail a good thread. I fail to see why any Saints fan wouldn't think £12 a month is worth it. The alternative scares me.

I fail to see why any Saints fan wouldn't think £12 a month is worth it. The alternative scares me. What, exactly is this "scary" alternative? This is the kind of rhetoric that puts many people off. #easilyscared Edited April 23, 2016 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oaksoft's grasp of how football operates is comparable to that of a house brick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 f**k me it didn't take you long to get over your devastatingly crushing loss of Prince and return to form did it? Shouldn't you be away setting up a book of condolences or something? I'm resilient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually agree with that sentiment. I think it IS reasonable to counter it. You didn't do it worth reference to Miranda Hart though ….. TBH I have no idea what you were aiming at there.

oaksoft Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) I'm resilient. Perhaps in your private life but there's no evidence of it on this forum either in your cringeworthy Prince posts or when people on here disagree with you. You dislike something or someone disagrees with you and 9 times out of 10 you simply make personal attacks. I would respect you more if you were just honest about that.

As for my "tone" and you're misconception that I'd "quite like" that, well, I never knew you were an expert in interpreting what's between lines of my posts. As for your "tone" you are fast becoming like a preacher, who thinks by repeating the same line over and over people will simply choose to believe it. How's that for jumping to conclusions?

Things have not quite reached the "Yul Brynner" stage yet but there's no doubt about that we've already seen a couple of posts which clearly do not like the fact that someone has disagreed with committing to this scheme. Some of it is in the territory of "passive aggressive" but it won't be long till someone gets absolutely slaughtered going on past form.

oaksoft Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) You'll need to work a lot harder if you want to gain Oaksoft's respect. Well at least I know how to get his respect - simply agree with everything he posts. I also need to agree that it's OK to talk down to someone as long as either:- a) He did it first OR b ) He agrees with the point. At any other time you are just a pain in the arse. Remember those golden rules and Drew's respect really could just be a few mouse clicks away. Good luck.

shull Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 I think you pay too much attention to the idiots that post on here.I think you will find that is Oaky's personal opinion.

shull Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 If you're a fully paid member of SMISA, you could have a say over the tannoy system, how the club is run, how we price fixtures, and even how much the club spends on player wages... Not saying that everyone would agree with you, but surely it's better to have a say than not have a say? £12 a month is a small price to pay to guarantee the future of our club. I have been saying most of the above for years. Nobody f**king listens Ha ha ha ha And you want me to pay more money, to get ignored.

I think so far it's just been pretty healthy discussion... I only became a member of SMISA last week as I was impressed with the bid presentation and therefore just trying to spread the word . I apologise if I at any point sound like I'm preaching that is not my intention whatsoever.I was referring to your #gettingmessy comment that you've mentioned a few times now which isn't really helping anyone Edited April 23, 2016 by gazmc83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
