We are generally not bad at dismissing the real dross. Probably better than the other top 4 teams at doing that. As you say, it's our abysmal record against other FT teams which has been our downfall. My mate was at the Alloa Binos game. By all accounts Stirling battered them and could have won by 3. Win on Tuesday and we are strong favourites at Alloa. 10 points from 4 games would be a pleasing start. I think Tuesday will be a difficult game. Can see Stirling being really hard to break down. It is must win though. Clearly.

Think as a poster said the other week that what makes McKay doubly bad is that he's both shit and clearly doesn't give a f**k. It's incredible we still have to play him

No idea about the performance but not the worst point in the world...

Anyway, let's rip into this scabby mob

Well the real issue isnt the new volunteers or the old ones. Is that there is a reliance on volunteers at all for a not that cheap paid service. I'm sure the new guys are doing their best. I think the club should have more responsibility to do this more professionally. And that was true of the previous setup too.

Did this new team ask Lewis and Stuart for advice? I know Lewis and there's zero chance he wouldn't have given it.

How often did that happen? So far these clowns have had unwatchable stream quality at Partick and an 'unforeseen hardware issue' the first away league game of the season.

Lol.. the switch from Falkirk TV continuing to look an amazing move.. Amateur hour

Big game today. I very much fancy chipfat heid to get sacked this season. A few early defeats to pile on the pressure. Probably a cagey 0-0 having said that.

That was a scandalous defeat Defending for their winner was eerily reminiscent of the Airdrie playoff defeat.

Also loved Marino Keith. He was excellent.

I'll always have a soft spot for Dennon Lewis as that whole false racism thing and the board f**k up actually made many fans realise how fucking terrible our board actually were and was one of the catalysts for us ending up horsing them. Thanks Dennon.

I think that's fine. As I said above if FSS spell out 'the new normal' it gives people the chance to choose As we've seen on here opinions are very divided on whether fans can support that new approach but as long as its a free choice no one can complain. There will be loads of FSS contributors who feel like you. That's all right. I'm glad the club will still get your contributions.

Is this wilfully misunderstanding or just trolling? The whole point of the last 20 pages is that FSS are being blocked from reaching 25% plus 1 Why you continually ignore that is beyond mysterious.

Maybe the right approach from FSS is to say the goalposts have moved, they ain't moving back, and investors have to choose if they still stay members (through gritted teeth or happily) or choose to walk away. What % would walk? Probably low. 10% maybe. A lot more than that will be disgruntled but still admirably want to support the club financially in this way. Maybe hope for change in the future. Interesting times. Some absolutely tremendous posts in the last week too..fascinating reads.

I've edited what I said. Hope that makes more sense now.

Not sure what part you resent as none of that post was even in reply to you. I suspect you've misinterpreted what I said. Happy to clarify. Ah reading it again I think I see the problem. What I meant was that there are FSS contributors who won't care about the shareholding thing. Maybe even a majority. So there's every chance that a large number of contributors are fine with this. FSS won't know until they ask. I'm not saying either side of that option care more than the other - only that for some it will be a red line and for others they'll shrug as the 25% thing was never why they joined or they accept the reasons for reneging on that. Hope that helps dude. Sorry if you thought I was suggesting don't care about the club.

So John Wright resigned on July 24th. Or at least that's when the story was on the club website. Presuming Nigel Serafini is still on the board and there's a spot left as an erm opportunity...?

Fantastic post

Can understand you want to give a good hearing here but I'm not sure what clarity you're expecting? It's already clear. There's literally no good explanation for this decision. None. Zip. Nada. All that matters I'd say is A) What FSS members want to do now? Ie How many cancel subs v those who don't care and will carry on anyway B) What the FSS reps on the board have done since this betrayal was mooted B) How tenable the FSS reps on the board feel their continuing in role is given this Et Tu Brutus behaviour

Think this is a pretty responsible attitude. Worth giving the FSS guys a hearing to understand what action they have taken already and will be taking in the coming days. Gary Deans would be proud of the board here by the way. This move is right out of his playbook.

It would seems obvious they don't want to 'burden' future Rawlings/Campbell types with a pesky supporters group who can actually do something. Which is an utter disgrace. I suspect this is a board panicking about the financial situation at the club and wanting to keep the option open of abandoning fan ownership. Which may not be palatable to the fans (many of whom to be fair won't have sleepless nights about black holes in budgets) Democracy is tough sometimes. As is being on a board.

The poster above who i quoted did say that. Incorrectly.

A controlling interest that doth not make.

Have they?
