Shandon Par

Betting on the Pars to lose seems to easiest way to make money at the moment.

Let's hope for their sake their next profession isn't too picky about spelling, grammar, punctuation etc.,

He's quite clearly the same person that produces the rambling press releases on dafc.co.uk. Can't fault his/her loyalty to his paymasters.

I'm surprised Pressley found the time to even think about signing a player for you given the amount of time and energy he puts in to looking for a new job.

The players were probably overexcited - Masterton's motivational peptalk on the BBC probably had them so sky high JJ had to sit them all down and give them a spoonful of Calpol before they could start training.

I felt like I was being hypnotised watching the interview. All I can hear in my head now is 'Do a St Mirren. Do a St Mirren. Do a St Mirren. Do a St Mirren.'.

A spokesperson for the club commented "Further to an extremely detailed review by our financial advisors and legal experts..... insert your own line here. The mind boggles. We have financial advisors?

Anyone fancy PM'ing me this infamous document? I think I can imagine the gist of it anyway but it would be good to see the gory details. Cheers!

Maybe he could tap Brian Souter for a few quid to pay a good lawyer? After all, they still maintain a good working relationship don't they?

Noticed on dotnet that the journalist used to work for the Dunfermline Press and was present at one of the recent open meetings. Sounds like the ideal man to get his teeth into the story.

Lemon and Ginger tea with a dash of honey. And some Grappa.

Day 3: adult mascot - a bit creepy?

Was just having a read about it on dot net but surprise surprise the thread vanished. The gist seemed to be than the plan is to pour money in to the black hole.

Who said anything about him taking it?

Andy Barrowman

It's when he starts ripping out our nice shiny red plastic seats and burning them that the alarm bells will really start ringing

That is the strangest thing of this whole scenario. If it's simply the case that we need £200K or so just to see out the season then why not just say so? I know it doesn't address any of the issues regarding the stadium, long term debts, loans and so on but if that's what it would take to play players, suppliers etc then at least we'd know what we are facing. Given the history of terrible communications from the board maybe all thoughts of Machiavellian plots are way off the mark - maybe the board really are just so stupid that they've not thought of just coming out and saying "we need £200K, lets all get together and work out how to raise the money". Instead we have this Chemical Ali pretense from the board and a suspicion that giving money to the Pars is more wasteful than just setting fire to it.

The Kilted Christmas Tree folk are so pleased with Sammy's role that they've appointed him branch manager.

Hopefully it will spruce up our finances a bit - I can't help but pine for the days when we owned EEP and were not £10mil or so in debt.

Sammy looks like he's contracted something pretty terminal.

Eh? He's talking about Andy Barrowman's birthday.Sunbeds, botox and a boyband haircut all cost money you know.

The thought of the vitriol he and his familiy would face could be a sign that there's a lot of posturing and brinkmanship and emotional blackmail going on. The stony silence from the top of East End Park on the subject of 'what if things went tits up' leaves that threat hanging in the air. Scare the fans into pouring money into the club seems to be the current plan. I'm not being a happy clapper but there's nothing like spreading fear and panic to kick people into action.
