It's good to see all three issues end positively but I can't believe a single person felt any of it "hanging over them". A bit of hyperbole there I think.

If something more serious had happened I would have likely been angry/ frustrated/ gutted/ who knows what else. Regarding your first point, I imagine many would feel the same for the same reasons. As for the last point, yes there are several things happening in the world that would still have "sucked up" more of my concern but that doesn't mean a football fan shouldn't feel concern if something serious happens to a club they support or that it dilutes the concern elsewhere.

Spoiler It simply hasn't hung over even a few Buddies' heads or there would have countless posts expressing such concern , hoping for resolution in this thread since it was started up. The majority of posts have been laughing with scorn at the few who took the gossip seriously. You're disappearing up your own arse with what you doubtless feel are points of subtle sophistry, but I recognise it as simplistic casuist bollox. I'm not playing.

Word spin won't progress your (desperate need for an) argument. Let me simplify even more for you, I imagine the thought that it might be something more serious was hanging over the heads of most St Mirren fans. I thought this was very clear but happy to help with your misunderstanding. You started this, my post was fair, clear and nothing more than contribution to a fan forum. You chose to try and make it into an argument (as usual) knowing I would respond. You got what you want and we can leave it at that. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tendency to catastrophise things? St Mirren fans might be concerned that the stories of financial irregularities could impact their club... If anything I would say catastrophise is what you've done regarding my post. Now why don't we move on? A poster that has claimed to want to ignore me is getting exited he can read responses to me...

Nobody knows his circumstances at the present moment with what's going on in the world. He took a lot of ridicule from some on here, which wasn't always deserved. When I used to visit my dad (not Ricky), some of our conversation used to get a bit heated, because we couldn't always agree. Eventually I found it easier to just agree he was right.

The poster had a go on the basis that Ricky is from Stirling and he was lying about going to Glasgow, without even thinking that he lives a stone's throw from Kings Park in Stirling.
