Armand 2 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Did I really just read a Sevco fan attempt to claim superiority in terms of fan attractiveness? As one of my Sevco season ticket holding mates said "I've got no idea where some of these f*cking mutants crawl from on a Saturday". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Its like a scene from Shaun of the Dead with most of the Sevco fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 If his comments about the attendences at our Sevco cup games are true then he's fucked the budget again. A possible boycott could lead to Pressley having to sell a player? These cup draws are bonuses. A proper budget for the season would not be counting on drawing either former Old Firm side. A proper budget would ensure that the squad that started the season would stay together. We cannot count on a favourable cup draw, a cuo run or indeed any club paying money for any player we make available as and when we run out of cash mid-season. If what he has said is true then we are either staring at more financial strife this season or he is acting just as the SPL/SFA did in the summer(i.e. idle threats to cover up ineptitude). Fair point. What if you'd lost in R1 before x00 people? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundermonkey Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Fair point. What if you'd lost in R1 before x00 people? I don't think anyone can say 100%. Ritchie gives out so many mixed messages when it comes to finances that each side of any arguement has plenty of ammo. We can be facing HMRC oblivion and rolling in it due to player sales within any 12 month period. One pertinant point to make is we had finished with a profit from each of our first 3 seasons in the SPL (and in 7th position for the second year in a row). Somehow, despite gate receipts from a further 2 SPL seasons, 2 League Cup semi final gates and prize money, a Scottish Cup final appearance and prize money, European football (and I assume some prize money), a Ramsden Cup win and prize money and player sales of at least £1 million in the last 2 or 3 years we are in the grubber. I assume we are in the grubber because the HMRC had us printed in the Gazette for non-payment of tax. Later in the same year we were basking in the glow of player sales and massive gate receipts from Cup games (that could not be budgeted for). That's some turnaround. The only conclusion that can be made looking at Ritchie's actions and comments this summer is that we are still fiscally fucked. It would appear we were about to rely on selling another young lad. We wouldn't have been begging for Sevco fans to come to the games otherwise. Ritchie needs Sevco to cover up what I can only imagine are gross mistakes in the budget going back years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) So we now have enough in the kitty to sign one more player. I know I have said in the past that we have one decent striker so we should be looking for another but now I have changed my mind. We have got to do something about the defence we are leaking goals far to easily. We are needing a bastard in midfield who is willing to shout at folk, kick people and we also need to sort out this formation which we started with under Elvis's first season in the 1st div, only for him to change 6 weeks or so in when it failed then...... 2 league games and one testing cup tie we can judge as where we are = 1 goal in which Taylor had no right to score that goal We could still be playing now and wouldnt have scored from last nites game The Elvis post match interview is also a joke.....according to Elvis We Pressurised Rangers, took the game to Rangers For long periods controlled the game We didnt get result our performance merited better performance than last time we played Rangers Agressive football, lots of crosses from fullbacks which we didnt make the most off Patient football we turned into goalscoring opportunities, the type of football I want to see Sorry I mustve been at a different game......Fight was greater but thats about it.......

Just a bairn Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 The bit about playing better than last time really is complete nonsense. We should and could have scored more than 3 the last time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 The bit about playing better than last time really is complete nonsense. We should and could have scored more than 3 the last time. Rangers were not up to much last nite, If we had that same team as then last nite, we wouldve won easily last nite in my opinion.... We are sitting in too deep, far to slow and defensive at the moment to cause any teams danger at the opposite end... We are pissing in our own pants at the moment with this formation and tactic set up...... I feel sorry for the players as its making them look a lot worse than they actually are...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boaby ramone Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Not sure if they transferred over to Sevco, mind. these remarkable results can be achieved only by following the kevin kyle" special " diet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloth brain. Stop acting the cunt Kiddy. If you are trying to goad me into making unfounded allegations of criminal activity against Ritchie you are going to fail. Just a heads up Kiddy. There are a few lawyers crawling over Pie and Bovril at the moment for various reasons. It's not a good idea to link the current board with guys who faced embezzlement and fraud charges, even if your intention was to attribute the allegation to someone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Alot of my friends say they hate scottish fitbaw and will never watch it, I don't but by fcuk it can do my head in sometimes. Is our football so poor we spend more time talking about the politics of the game than the game itself? Lets just move on from this and support our clubs! *sweep sweep sweep* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bendarroch Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Oh f**k right off. It was a wee bloke on a tannoy - it wasn't the Arab/Israeli war. I remember when we could take a joke and used to point and laugh at The Sensitive Ones for being so precious. Just grow a pair, eh? Does P&B have a Captan Obvious of the month award? The cartoon, of course, was used to illustrate the double standards being flown so highly. And Don't blame me for the death of humour/insults in the fitba - blame those who have been fighting for such 'success' for years. The Tannoygate farce is as expected as it is inevitable an outcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
