Woodstock Jag

You'd be forgiven for thinking that Jackie McNamara was the manager/assistant judging by this interview! Good to see that what we might lack in resources we might have in contacts, I guess.

Not in the slightest. Merely that those who do go will probably be there in body but not in mind for the sake of their sanity.

Official attendance or actual attendance?

Normally the Supporters' Bar (the Aitken Suite) is open, but I notice there's something on the Official Site saying that it's closed for a private function. You might want to try one of the local haunts such as the Star and Garter or the Woodside Inn before popping along to the Jackie Husband Stand for kick-off.

Apologies re-April minutes. This is entirely my fault as I uploaded the wrong file when updating the site a while ago. April 2010 minutes should be up in a few minutes. Edit: April's minutes should now be correct. If it loads the old ones, try refreshing the page and it should load up the new PDF.

Given our current front line, I can't have been the only one to check the Official Site quietly hoping this was true...

I'm talking about the AGM that was held this year. I know virtually nothing of what happened at previous Club AGMs. If you take a look here there are the notes the Trust took from the Club AGM where this issue was covered.

At the Club AGM the issue of the shares was brought up and the cut and thrust is that both McMaster and Hughes think they "earned" the shares because of service to the Club, with Hughes pointing to McMaster working at the Club in a full-time capacity. David Beattie disagreed.

That taunting is bang out of order!

Given the distance between fans and the pitch at Central Park, I'd almost be impressed if any spit got near the players...

Open All Mics says 1-0! Doolan from a Cairney assist! 1-1 bollocks. 2-0 Dunfermline vs Stirling

In light of the IFS report a few days ago, I find the following quote from Lord Mandelson in April particularly pertinent: Couldn't agree more, my New Labour friend.

Whilst the following video does, by its very source, fail to acknowledge some of the good things Labour did in the last 13 years, it's worth remembering the sheer hypocrisy that, like a malignant disease, plagued these people in Government. The current leadership contest suggests to me that they haven't learned.

Worth pointing out that it was mostly short-term measures in the construction industry, and that other parts of the economy contracted quite rapidly, such as transport by (IIRC) 11%. Construction projects will always inflate growth figures because of their consequentials, but don't form the foundations of a wider and more sustainable recovery.

No chance. They need at least another 40000 experience points before reaching lv50.

Clarification in some of these respects was asked over the course of the Club AGM. We have notes which may be of help if you click here and then take a look at both the accounts themselves and the Trust notes on the PTFC AGM.

I'll see if I can get some answers for you MP.

I talk sense all the time... you're just not that great at recognising it because of your prejudices

Completely agree You should do that more often

If we're in the bottom two by more than a couple of points after the first quarter (finance asides) I'll have run out of patience. It's a lack of ideas that's holding us back as much as a deteriorating squad.

Worth pointing out that there's a -c- :- deists hold that a creative force set the wheels in motion for the universe but then neither interfered (for better or worse) with it not made it possible to interact with the creative force thereafter. This does, of course, lead to the same conclusion, though as it's pointless to worship something of no potential tangential relevance or influence.

That was also alluded to in said P&B thread

I don't think the issue was having to pay, rather Thistle's refusal to let them have several people access the gantry for filming purposes.

There's something on P&B about FFC TV having silly-buggers played by them. Cut and thrust is they have a live transmission for overseas subscribers (£11.99 a month they said) and had few problems with it in the SPL. Since coming down to the SFL they had a few issues initially with the governing body, but so far were accommodated fully by Clubs in the SFL. They applied for 3/4 passes so that their camera crew could get into the gantry, but Thistle rejected the request, granting them only 1 pass to allow filming for highlights and training purposes, insisting that they wouldn't be allowed to carry-out a live transmission. They were refused access to Thistle's internet connection and did the broadcast anyway by 3G. Anyone know what went on?

Yes sorry, my mistake. As IAS was saying though, I was just saying that the win over Dundee in time might not look that impressive if, like us, they end up scrapping near the bottom of Division One.
