Bus stops in Coatbridge used have signs "To Airdrie and beyond ". They might still have.
Also, "End of the world 2 miles; Airdrie 3 miles"

Pushed transfer fees and wages to unsustainable levels for many clubs at WOSFL levels over the last 4/5 years and we are probably still to see the long term damage this has done.
Any team deliberately overspending without it being backed up shouldn't be looking around for someone else to blame.

Surprised there is no video footage of this IF it did happen
We've been rumbled.

The Veldman plan was for Thomson to play a sort-of attacking centre half role. Then I heard the late Kaiser Franz in an interview broadcast just after his recent passing away saying that was his role.
It seems to be working well if that's what it actually is.

Arrived at Munich over the summer and the egates allowed citizens from some non EU countries (eg Singapore) to use them, but not the Brexit boys.

I'd imagine the clubs will be in dialogue behind the scenes about it but unless there's any video evidence it's unlikely to get much press because as you say there's incidents all across Scotland every other week essentially that are similar and it's also virtually impossible to prove it was rovers "fans" that did it without the evidence to back it up unfortunately.
It's only the second time iv actually seen it mentioned so I'm curious if any spiders fans can give more details about it, i.e where did it happen? Apologies if iv missed that being said already.
Daft wee kids about 14 / 15 at Beveridge Park where the bus was parked and then up the road a wee bit when we were on the move. Someone said it had happened at your previous home game too.

What a treat to wake up on a Sunday morning looking forward to watching the highlights.
Sad to see the return of young kids stoning supporters' buses.

Fair play to the Rovers medical staff who have conditioned their players to recover so quickly when they fall down like they've been shot by a sniper.
Shower of blouses.

Many thanks for the update and whilst I appreciate the club's reluctance to have the details splashed over P&B, there would be no need for this if the club were more open with the fans. Was there any sense that communication is likely to improve?
The new President has already taken a initial step to look at improving fan engagement and hopefully he'll follow it through.
Communication has always been very poor and my impression is that no one really has had this under their remit of late. Should it have been the President, the Secretary or the CEO?
My take on the AGM was that it was relatively successful in terms of telling the members what was going on. I think we all understand that the Willie Haughey involvement brings a more "complex" dynamic to the club and we'll just have to roll with it and hope that this involvement is, overall, a positive one. Without it, I honestly think we'd be jookin' it out with Berwick and Cowden to be the best of the ex-SPFL clubs in the Lowland League.
Hopefully the change in committee personnel will give the place the shake up that's needed in terms of listening to the paying punters.

Is that Keith cursing the linesman?
I remember a famous referee of the past (Bob Valentine?) saying that he hated officiating at "wee" games as he heard the individual shouts of abuse. He didn't bother about 30,000 chanting he was a b*****d but one guy down the front of an empty stadium questioning his sexuality or calling his wife an ugly cow hit home.

Quite an important night as the Club's AGM is being held.
There's been plenty of totally warranted flak going the Club's way in the past few years so hopefully people turn up and support those with an agenda for change who are standing for election.

Looking at QP, from the outside, it’s hard not to question how it’s even remotely sustainable aside from haughey chucking cash in
No QP fan has claimed that what we're doing is sustainable. Most clubs in Scotland are propped up by benefactors in an unsustainable way. We're maybe a wee bit more unsustainable than most.
Mind you, if the mad stories about our young goalie going to Old Trafford for a £million are correct, we only need to produce one of these guys every year and we're laughing!

Dunning 1974 - I didn't take issue with anything about the running of Morton recently. Good luck to you in what you are doing now.
My point is that you find yourself where you are (ie in a great financial situation) through a wealthy benefactor writing off the investment. Virginton not for the first time in commenting on us, didn't acknowledge that when it's the most important contribution to your enviable situation.
As for the £400k loan, have a look at the Golden Casket accounts.
As I said, best of luck in what you're doing financially.
Hope you crash and burn on the park though......

Probably best not to criticise fans of his previous clubs for having a dim view of him, then (this isnt a dig at you personally, as you dont seem to have done that).
You lads are all over this thread telling us our new manager is a fanny. How do you expect us to react?

To finish off, I couldn't give a shit about what he did. He's our guy now and I'm happy to support him 100% until it all goes tits up.

This is an awful argument.
He inherited one of the best squads Tommy Wright built, who over the previous 6 months had been matching Celtic for form. The fanbase was as close to the club and squad as it had ever been, and we had numerous young players in the team starring.
3 years later the whole club was toxic, the squad was the worst we've had in about 15 years, it was filled with shite and ageing players, and we'd gone from regulars in the top 6 to battling relegation every season and regularly going on 10 game winless runs.
Combine that with Davidson blaming everyone but himself every single week for about 18 months, and his unwillingness to ever defend the club, and its surely not hard to see why fans had enough?
Your question should really be about how a club legend, who won a double as manager, ended up deservedly sacked and had an entire fanbase united in thinking it needed to be done before he utterly destroyed the club.
We wont recover from his time in charge for years yet.
The future of about 90% of managers is to be sacked. Managing the likes of Livi, County, Saints is a poisoned chalice in Scotland. One slip and you're in the shite.
Again, if he "utterly destroyed" the club and drove it to a state of being almost bankrupt, you should be looking at the people running the club who should have reined him in.
Anyway, I'll be giving him the benefit of the doubt.
As for taking years to recover, would you swap this for the two cup wins?

Loads of negativity here from Saintees. When were you so successful as when you won two cups in the same year?
I'd be happy with either one of the League Cup or Scottish Cup. If you let him overspend that's the fault of the club and not the manager.
Pleased that Nuijten has been retained.

Have you seen Man United and Ajax recently though?
Aye, but they're both just about to improve immensely via these two crucial signings.
