He's someone who we all trust in here and I think he has made a mistake. I'll admit to not knowing much about what has been going on with it all as I have barely been on RM. So I'm guessing this was just the final straw on a large camels back? It does seem a shame to lose someone who we all know. And if D'Art wanted to, or even if he could it would be great if he could withdraw his resignation. Boardrooms are difficult, and going back after the reasons given for the resignation would be a very tense situation, but I would seriously consider investing if D'Art was back and try and get Houston out of there with a vote of no confidence. Would be the perfect scenario, but there is too much money involved now for Sloth Murray & Gilligan to let it all slip away.

That is actually true, went over to FF for a wee look and the majority appear in consensus that the three who resigned were good folks and that the director who applied for the fans post was out of order, Of course there are always some rockets defending their great leader but to me it seemed a very small minority.

He has taken a break from his social media platforms, in order to commit more time to the SoS academy and private issues. He may or may not return and doesn't have access to even his own private Facebook account. For the short term future, I will continue to run the page on my own. Thank you for understanding Ben https://www.facebook.com/SonsOfStruth Quote So rather come out and at least try and justify his actions, he goes in to hiding. A fucking snake slithering back under his rock. Haha. The above as been chopped within minutes. Folk ripping in to him!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the ones in charge of RF who put out a loaded question for the vote to merge hang your head in shame. This ^^ This was the biggest stitch up in the book. What has happened since was the natural progression and I'm sorry to say maybe inevitable with a few of the folk involved. Not all as there were some honourable people there although I believe they were knowingly fighting a losing battle from the start. As you say CB they should hang their head in shame for the weasely protestations about they never said it would stay independent. I hesitate to say lies but I was never happy when the merger ( funny if it wasn't so tragic ) was proposed and voted through.

Popular Post JohnHardie 1,405 Posted March 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2017 Craig Houston is an utter disgrace to our support. He has now made Club 1872 toxic and should resign immediately before he causes further damage. A complete charlatan of a man that has now been exposed for what he is. lanarkbear, Gascoigne8, HeHaw and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for it Honestly mate ... you know exactly who the people are who are responsible for the disunity among us ...... and they don't (like yourself) post in here often ... when they do (like yourself) they come to berate the people on this site who are only expressing their own opinion. it is called freedom of speech ... in this forum it is not a criminal offence to have an opinion that is different from the norm ... asking searching questions without being banned for doing so ..... quite unlike FF .... we have loads of ex-members from FF who were banned for not following the "code of practice" shall we say .... who have found a happy medium on RM. Come and join us more often and get to know how it feels to be able to freely express your opinion .... it will set your soul free ...... like swimming naked in the open sea .... not confined to a Loch ....

Surely it would be easier to change the problems if you were on the board than just resigning and letting the wallopers run it alone? If you are in a minority you cannot effect change. Therefore if you consider the matter to be serious enough you have only one real choice- resign. That should be a sufficient warning to the membership that something is seriously wrong. For three trustees to resign would suggest that there is something seriously wrong with the governance in place. I am sure it was not an easy decision- but integrity can have a price.
