Ad Lib Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Decent cup draw. Hamilton is a winnable game and all three others near to Glasgow and a bit of history to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I'm sure I read on here Clyde are playing their home games in the cup at New Douglas Park so I sincerely hope we don't get both them and Accies away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Hopefully the QP game is the other away game after Hamilton and on a Saturday, f**k going to Airdrie or Cumbernauld 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She spends half the statement admitting her tenure as chairman has been a massive failure and gives very little reason for believing anything will change. She needs to go. What an absolute pile of fucking shite this is. The most in depth communication we have had from any chairman in the last 50 years yet the Firhill malcontents can still find something negative to say. Unbelievable and if you’re that unhappy with how things are being run or communicated why not contact the club directly instead of criticising and hiding behind a forum? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll not be taking lectures from anyone who was content with the previous statement about redundancies since it's just part of running a business thanks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorOnopko Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 The length (as in basic word count) of the statement is impressive - unfortunately, the content is mostly wheedling, self-justificatory, passive-aggressive drivel. At least our PR supremo chairman recognises that the club's PR has been an absolute shambles in almost every way. Sending a massive screed like this out doesn't mean she knows how to do it better, though. The Doolan bit is annoying too - I thought the major flaw in how it was handled was more about the sudden, brief f-off which KD received out of the blue from Caldwell after ten years of service, rather than how the announcement was made, but according to this it was just carelessly communicated. Hmmm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Low isn’t brief and she seems the sort that would constantly bring up that one time you forgot to wipe the lavvy pan after covering it in pish spray a full 3 years after it happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Mince LC group where the only redeeming feature is that we might get to play at Hampden again. Which means we won’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madton Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Amazing to think Archibald had a 1m budget yet struggled badly to build a competitive team when others did considerably better with far less resources! The fact Caldwell will have the same budget whilst your competitors are all cutting costs could be huge for you. Its not everything and doesn't guarantee success of course, but would expect you to be in the top 4 quite easily this year as everyone around you tightens their belts! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 If they use the fixture formula of the first two years of this we would be at home to Clyde and Airdrie. Was different last year so who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VladimirMooc Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Length of statement doesn’t equate to quality of statement. Really weird passive-aggressive tones in some sections, and more apologies than you’d expect from someone running your club. Not for me, thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Championship wages were inflated when Hibs, Hearts and The Rangers found themselves down there. A lot of clubs cutting their cloth now right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The percentage of Clubs with artificial pitches in the Group is concerning, OK we train on them but, I rarely enjoy watching competitive games on them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
