Braes_Bairn Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Quite concerning that we’ve still not heard a date for the AGM or received the accounts. If the AGM is to happen on the rumoured December date you’d think we’ve have heard by now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won’t need to submit accounts till about the end of Feb so no real panic for me. Would rather the club comes with a clear picture of where we are and the plans moving forward than some of the half arsed stage managed nonsense we have had in the past notably when an AGM was held and 2 weeks later we pulled the plug on the Academy without saying a peep to shareholders Edited November 22, 2022 by Back Post Misses 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatapyBairn. Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) I’m presuming the AGM won’t be announced until the club has an idea what numbers they’ve been able to raise via these recent fund raising/investment initiatives that have been pushed, that and/or finalising agreements with shareholders for any soft loans that have been needed. There’s no point in calling us all to a meeting if all that information isn’t finalised and available, shareholders need to be given an accurate up to date position of where the club is and what needs to be done rather than a “we don’t know yet” or we’re “still in discussions with” such and such.

Although good numbers for the first year and without a background of administration. Don't know about the patrons group (the other fans group) but in total I think the two fans groups own around 30% of shares? I don't know if the patrons have bought more or not but seems likely some other form of investment will be needed to cover the shortfall. Cheers I would have thought if it was doing well the board would be pushing it out there to try and keep the momentum going . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 We've adopted what seems to be the latest tactics fashion of two defenders almost at the byline when the keeper plays it out to them which has just led to the opposition putting pressure on our pretty limited defenders so they either lose the ball, panic and knock it out for a corner (Henderson) or boot it aimlessly upfield. I've just watched France destroy Australia who were using the same tactic. Can someone take the hint and get this fad in the sea where it belongs? Unless you have good ball-playing defenders, they're always going to f**k this up and the Scottish Third Division isn't where you find good ball-playing defenders. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALL profits from the online shop sales will go to FFC in the form of sponsorships & the FD Highlander logo with his pint & jester hat will also be added very soon too Great effort with the song but maybe we could do something with Rod Stewart's World Cup song, Ole Ola? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am honest I would like to see us mix it up a bit more but 100% don’t want to see the keeper and CH’s lumping it every time. Most of the time we have been a decent watch this season.

It's one of the most consistent ways to encourage a deep lying defence (y'know the sort we are constantly faced with in this league) to press you and create space in behind. Of all the things going on with the team this would probably be the last thing I criticise. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC on Saturday, the chance Oliver made for Burrell and also Morrisions goal were set up similarly passing it across the back line before Henderson shifted it up to the left wing. There needs to be runners, and a coherent plan to up the pace and move the ball quicker when the opening comes, but having centre halfs do more than just launch the ball is crucial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 We won't win the league this year. We might sneak up through the playoffs. We are considerably better than any point over the last four or five years, but still too inconsistent. Keep McGlynn, and we'll win it next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this generally, but I would place slightly more emphasis on the playoffs. I think there will be player movement in January, and I think if we get it right we have a very good chance of promotion. There seems to be a slight despondency about the prospect of playoffs that I don't really share. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 There's passing it out from the back and then there's passing it out from your own 6 yard box which we've started doing and I'm not a big fan of I've got to say. You're just asking for trouble especially at our level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
