East Kent Jag II

Yes - £1.3 M loss if turnover had remained the same. 68% wage to turnover ratio seems high to me, so the £500,000 increase in wages is not only high, but if the wage bill had remained the same, they would still have made a loss of £800,000.

They've changed the name on the home changing room door to the home triage ward.

If this incident was in a game today; 1 - Neil's current day equivalent would catch the defender's leg, & fall over. 2 - the ref would give a penalty. 3-the ref would send the defender off for a two footed challenge, the tackle from behind, and for being last man .(Only one penalty, unfortunately). 4. Banzo would blast the penalty against the post. (Albeit he didn't do that against Morton on Saturday.

I was holding off hoping someone else would mention him - Mitch Austin

Neil Duffy??

You're correct, LJ. Perhaps I'm pushing it a bit, but O'Ware signed a new contract in January this year, and is a Jag till 2022.

Tam O'Ware ankle bone growth at Morton. Zak Rudden was also injured before joining us. Ciaran McKenna had a knee injury at Hamilton. I seem to recollect Blair Spittal was injured also.

For me, the one gamble that's failed this year is taking on a lot of potentially skillful players prone to or recovering from injury. It may be as was posted earlier that players wouldn't come to the club in this division, but I'm not in a position to know how true that is. Either way, it hasn't worked.

I accept that either Raith or Falkirk would have been a difficult task, if we had finished in 9th. We didn't get that opportunity, and to come back to this season, only a PremierLeague side beat us in the League Cup. We've had the difficult teams at the start of the league games, albeit with duff results. Too early to go for the manager, & where's the cash to sack him?

We did beat them. December 19, 2-1 at Palmerston. & we had to play them there again. Both clubs with no league wins in 20. But they had played a game more than us, & had Dundee Utd & Dundee to play. We can only guess what would have happened, but we did seem to have a less taxing run in. My point was that to complain about non qualification from the Betfred Cup didn't take our enforced lowly position into account, a bias McCall opponents don't seem to recognise.

It's a pity you lack any sense of reality. Archie & Caldwell had the advantage of Premier & Championship status. McCall has a team demoted to League 1 by the combination of the SPFL exec & a cabal of self serving clubs. If the season had progressed QOS would be where we are now. But that's not what happened. Betfred Cup seedings are made on league status, so your argument is completely spurious. The start to the league was difficult, & there's a long way to go. Why do naysayers always selectively pick & choose their line of argument, without any sense of the truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth. Get real.

1-0 St Mirren

What has Senna done with his hair!

That's the sort of stupidity that cost Graham half of the games in this tournament.

Spittal injured?

5 pens out of 5 is quite a feat! Bringing on Griffiths and him taking the first is quite a management call from Steve Clarke! If only Thistle had cojones like that, & could finish off a game with such panache, I doubt we' would be where we are.. Czech Republic & Croatia in Glasgow, & England at Wembley. Bring it on

Just done a head count. There are 50 players on the list. There are joint scorers, including Gerry Britton, but I make it 50.

Oh for a Willie in our current team! No plays on the name please-keep it clean. 7 in the list, including the top 2, which includes you know who.... I remember quite a few on the list. Kris, Dave McParland, Tommy Ewing, Coulston and Bone, Joe Craig ,& not forgetting one of my favourite Jags, Dougie Somner. Good work!

Did Skovdahl not also say "the operation was a success, but the patient died" on an Aberdeen defeat by Celtic.

But is the suggestion that not for profit is included in the constitution of the new fan ownership group a way of making it illegal to pay a dividend to shareholders under s 830 Companies Act 2006? That would be because the dividend could then only be made out of profits available for the purpose. That would prevent any future BoD making such payments without substantial change. Perhaps the working group could set out precisely what the meaning & purpose of the provision is?

I believe that there was the provision to pay dividends to directors in the club's constitution, but insufficient profit to justify this. I think my and Dick Dastartly's opinion that fans group directors will be precluded from being given any dividend is the correct interpretation. This would not mean that the aspiration is only to break even. That would not make any sense whatsoever. It's just a shame that a more in depth explanation wasn't provided. I do have a concern on how directors are elected, and even removed from office. I also have a concern about any future share issues being implemented, and how that is controlled. We don't want to end up like Sevco, with shares like the German pre WW2 Mark. (And about the same number of zillion shares! Ever increasing, like the universe!) Did Dunfermline recently make a further share issue to include their new German funding?

The list of recurring themes is just a number of aspirational aims. Not for profit can, as recent posts have shown, mean any number of things, & should have been properly outlined. The diversity of any future board, and becoming carbon neutral are peripheral issues, & just detract from reality and the prime function of the club, ie. to be successful on the pitch. If someone thinks its a good wheeze to put out this rubbish & the success is having issues "discussed", then they don't realise that we're fast running out of time to escape from League 1, and short term success is much more relevant at this time. Whoever has written this , my reply is simply "grow up now!" I should have added that the whole statement comes across as an exercise in intellectual arrogance.

The statement is too vague, but although I may be well off beam, does not for profit mean not giving a dividend to directors, and reinvesting any profit back into the club? An elected board of directors. Yes but how do you avoid cliques taking over? Do the fans control board member remuneration and/or staff salaries? The lack of any comment on creating a winning team seems to me to be a notable omission. Hearts have massive investment in their fan ownership group, an owner actively trying to achieve this aim, but despite all of the goodwill, seem to me to be limping towards fan ownership. Representative boards and all of the stuff in the article are all very good and well, but should a simple working model not be a more modest but achievable aim?

He was on the bench for the recent game against Watford, SB. But only other appearance I can find this season was an under 21 game in September.
