It wasn't specifically a go at you mate, I've read that so many times. I just don't get it, I've got a daughter and I'd clean toilets if I had to to keep her safe and warm. Slagging people's jobs doesn't sit well with me.

I'll tell you what - I'm not Houston's biggest fan by any means, but I can't say I'm comfortable with him being slagged for being an 'oven cleaner.' Every one of us does something different for a living, denigrating someone because you feel their occupation is beneath you says more about you than it does about them, in my opinion.
I've got family, friends, etc who do jobs others may see as menial, but fuck slagging them for it. I would do anything I needed to to earn a living, I've done some 'lowly' jobs in my time.
Rant over, but ffs there's plenty to slag him for other than having his own business (I think) and trying to make an honest crust.

You're absolutely right, he has every right to apply for the job. Not as a director, particularly one who stood on independence. He definitely should have withdrawn from any contact with the club as a C1872 rep, almost definitely resigned.
He's damaged C1872, probably fatally. Well done to the three directors who resigned, principled People. Shame on those who didn't.

You were conned mate, there's no shame in that.
The thing for me is, everyone who sees what has gone on here and continues to pay is supporting the organisation. The organisation currently consists of people who have full knowledge of the facts surrounding this and haven't resigned, which 3 principled people did.
I'm on record with the reasons I didn't join RF or C1872 (although I was fully involved in RM donating a large sum to RF). I could see what was coming, as could many others. That's not bragging, though, I was as conned by anyone by Craig Whyte among others.
All we can do is examine our conscience with the info we have. If you look at the situation and decide what you want to do is continue donating, that's your choice. Nobody else puts bread on your table, nobody can tell you what to do with your money. Make your own mind up, and do what you think is right

That's true, eskbankloyal has said from the start he didn't think Houston should be involved.

I'll take that mate, thanks, totally undeserved though. I just babysit a forum that lets people speak their mind with no party line to follow.

I think I was vague enough to claim success at some undetermined time in the future
I'm sure you know I'm not one for conspiracy theories and shadowy figures controlling things behind the scenes. Still, it'll be interesting to see how things develop. Looks to me like C1872 was a mistake.

Fair enough. Let's just say it wouldn't surprise me massively if one of those names was more prominent again soon.

It would be probably more interesting if it doesn't, to be honest. It's standard practice, if it doesn't happen it's because they know they're in the wrong. If he doesn't attack and doesn't resign, what does that tell you? (It probably tells you nothing, but he has followers who can't see past him).

Don't know much about the two ladies, have a positive impression from the little I've heard. D'Art resigning tells me everything I need to know.
Edit: actually, I hope we get some clarity. It doesn't look good for C1872 though.

What do you mean by 'until the name comes out.' It's out. Do you want him to tell you himself?

By the way, I half expect defamation of the three who resigned to start tomorrow. If it does, anyone supporting it knowingly should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
