East Kent Jag II

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.

If he'd taken a step out before the pass, there's no doubt at all about offside. Graham & Doherty suspended for Betfred Cup game against Morton, so an opportunity for a few to stake a claim. Graham good at the back post for our 1st, and took the 2nd well. As for the equaliser, why oh why can't we take the ball for a walk to the corner flag?

Lindsay hasn't been in the squad all season.

£58,130 now, including £500 donation from David Thomson QC several hours ago. Well done all donors!

Is that Brut & soda, or Brut & Lemon ?

We've not had a clean sheet in any of our league games, so we can start there. I assume Sneddon is still injured. I'm looking for more from Foster. He's not been as commanding as I'd hoped. A couple of goals would help too. We need to be quicker up the park, & less predictable. Falkirk supporters think that their team bottles big games, so let's hope that continues.

Maybe we've found out why our team is looking tired during games. They get up too early on matchdays

I understand where you're coming from, but a substantial sum has been given to the arts, as outlined in a previous post. Sport is included in that ministerial brief, and both an initial sum + Barnett knock on for EFL clubs getting a bail out was promised, but so far not delivered. Again, as previously mentioned, to remove Doncaster or even amend his salary needs SPFL board members to fall in with us malcontents, & that won't happen (yet).

That's three times now that member clubs have rejected the SPFL exec. being given even limited powers to end the season. The member clubs clearly don't trust the exec. and in view of the tricks and "pressure " put upon clubs to end last season, with us as one of the victims, who can blame them. Doncaster still collects his massive salary for doing nothing. Cash from government? Promises of a statement outlining a deal more than a month ago now, but no such statement. Silence - & zero cash. I hoped that he would be on his way to the EFL,& we could get a real exec. with integrity, but no such luck. The SPFL have now hacked off some more clubs with Covid discipline hearings, so hopefully the backlash will grow to give sufficient numbers for change. But we're not there yet. Get him & the board out, & a proper exec with real power in, who can treat all clubs with respect, not just the favoured few.

Mucking around on Google, a Japanese footballer, Kazuyoshi Miura is still playing for Yokohama FC. He's 52 years old! Where's my boots!

McMenemy was 40 years old when he played in the final. He played for the Jags for a further two years. Apart from goalkeepers, any 40 year olds playing professional football today?

Low would flog it.
