Sadly about the only personal memory I have of bobby is dogging school to go down to woodside crematorium in paisley and pay my respects to his funeral cortège as it drove in. R.I.P.

54 times the champions of Scotland 56 times league championship winners Although maybe we should add the war year titles to that figure.

It's a bit speculative but my fingers are crossed that I can say st mirren for all but the away trip, If not it's got to be the watery farts.

Is that what's known as getting a 'nevin' in the gay community ?

Yes I'm in for one g.b.

What a fucking pathetic comment, if you think that was long ball tactics you know the square root of fuck all about the game, stick to your playstation mate.

I'm joining oleg's sect.

Thanks mate

Ok I'll ask then. Who is/are the ECA ?

Laxley and the other institutions are the investors. It's a cash cow for them, in a way the worse off we are Financially the better it is for them they can generate money By bailing us out and in a worst case scenario grab the major assets as security against loans. That way if admin 2 were to happen who's left holding the 'deeds' when the club defaults on the loans ?

The only way out is if king or another interested party buys them out. Withholding season ticket money and boycotting the merchandise etc will only make the situation worse. For talking sake if we starved the club of money, what's to stop the likes of laxley coming back in and offering another loan to keep the club going,which the board would have to take and maybe this time we have to put up auchenhowie as their security. Now that to me is a very scary thought !

I don't like the 'institutional loan' any more than you do mate but it's a reality and it won't stop me being first in the line for renewal.

I will be renewing,in fact I would do it today if it was possible. The thought of missing the arguments with the same old moaning faces who just can't watch a game without overly criticising our team just doesn't bear thinking about. I wish king or anybody else for that matter would just buy the institutional shareholders out, I fucking hate all the bad publicity this generates. as a club and support we really are behaving just like the inhabitants of the potato dome used to, it is getting very embarrassing.

Ok fast forward 12 months, we're closing in on the championship title and doing ok on the park. Like all football clubs we could do with a little bit of extra income just until the season ticket money starts rolling in. Who's turn is it to give the club a lucrative(for themselves) loan ? Is it to be blue pitch,margarita or maybe damille investments or possibly another one of the institutional investors. Who's turn is it to dip their snout in the trough next time ?

They'll have to get a resolution passed at the next agm in order to issue the shares. This was resolution 10 in the last agm and it lost out in the vote, it makes me think that this loan was planned a long time ago.

Would it be too controversial of me to suggest we have been run badly up until now in order to create this scenario where existing shareholders can provide loans to the club at very beneficial terms to themselves e.g. 15% arrangement fees and/or discounted shares in return.

It can be interpreted both ways that statement is not very clear.

It doesn't say he's not charging a fee, quite the opposite in fact.

Paul lambert , a good player who we missed out on. Now to be seen as a sad shell of a man acting out his father Martin o kneel tribute fetish, south of the border.

Yes that would be right most away grounds are too small to accommodate our travelling support although being a season ticket holder signed up for away tickets is no guarantee either, the best way is to be a member of a supporters club(bus)

Brilliant summing up there mate, and like you I think faure will become a stand out when he's played in the middle. Centre half or as you suggest a holding midfield player looks like his position.

yeah i heard that all these gunmen were over in hollywood auditioning for THE A TEAM II or was it THE EXPENDABLES III

airdrie,ayr utd and dunfermline so far this season. edit to add queen of the south in the ramsdens

Yes I am very interested, I am all for it and would do whatever I could to help.

Woohoo !!!!! Great draw
