Worst pitch I've seen for a while, although Motherwell's pitch has had it's moments. Not my cup of tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazil will overlook almost everything, exactly the type of supporter who would roll over and watch the club behave in an unacceptable manner at any level. There are a small minority who DO look to magnify anything, or mostly nothing, against the club, equally as baffling. Someone wrote Monday instead of Tuesday...

Point 1 , Any member can email the SMiSA board to engage with us. (We may or may not reply) Point 2. The current relationship between the club and Kibble is, we have 2 Kibble people on the board and have a relationship. (We cannot comment on the actions of board members or sponsors because they won’t tell us anything anyway) Point 3. The current financial forecast for the club is, we don’t really know because nothing has been decided on that, we may need to spend loads to get a new manager and the club will not inform the SMiSA board of the current financial situation anyway. (Some current and previous club officials are spending too much on things that are not necessary) Meeting adjourned before anyone can ask awkward questions.

BuddieinEK Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 What part is trivial. Wrong day/date. Basics. Why are you defending the undefendable? For goodness sake Hamlet.A simple clerical error.Let's face it...A meeting called by SMISA members looking for clarification on some matters causing them concern.Meeting arranged as per constitutional requirements.One wee "mistake" that may or may not have resulted in some members missing the meeting.What difference could that possibly make?Oh you cynic.

Sent from my HD1913 using Tapatalk I’m sure that very few would have not realised the mistake and looked for clarification (I know you were being sarcastic) but it’s not really the point. For me the point is that the required number of SMiSA members unhappy enough to call for an SGM has been met, mostly down to perceived unprofessionalism from THEIR Board, and said Board are then unprofessional enough to not proof read the Notice of SGM…..an own goal of their own making.

Exactly, this is the issue being addressed yet some of our fans lose their mind over a small error that was corrected very quickly. There was a time where this sort of response from corners of the St Mirren support would have surprised me, not anymore. I have confidence the actual concerns will be adequately addressed and dispelled at the meeting for anyone applying rational thought. There will of course still be the typical responses from some fans for whom, SMFC can do little right. Remember we are apparently in a situation similar to Derby after all... 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point on this thread has mainly been people moaning about a wrong day that was very quickly corrected. I absolutely take the point on the concerns and sincerely hope they are addressed at this meeting. Although my personal view is some (not all, just some) concerns that have been mentioned in recent months are complete overreactions/ pretty short-term teething issues. If history has told us anything though, there are fans of this club that won't accept what SMISA has to say during this meeting, they'll remain unhappy. That again isn't all, there are plenty of reasonable St Mirren fans willing to listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can you not accept that the Secretary was incompetent. That is a fact. Nowhere in this particular thread is anybody moaning (apart from you).
