  1. The 1st of April related posts have started badly and show no signs of improvement, a bit like Zach Robinson this season.
  2. The " Bowling club" analogy is a perfect description of the WS, creditable fundraising and community efforts but not equipped or capable of identifying or securing significant investment. As has been said many times our fanbase is not large enough and never will be to realise true fan ownership, the WS is a piggy bank fund to help the club financially as required. This is great but I can't help thinking that the main criteria any potential investor is looking for is control of the club for their cash, which they won't get with the WS. So for me as a non Member the fundraising is good, but the WS identifying and securing additional significant investment is not going to happen
  3. A familiar story, a few good results, and the next game up is important, we take a big support get a great start then shit the nest and get feck all. Bottom 6 is looking very likely now.
  4. Olusanya is not sitting out a game unfairly, he got 2 yellow card so it was red and he walked. The ref made a call on the day for the 2nd booking, Var are not involved so in his opinion the red card was justified, and therefore a suspension for the next game so all legal and above board so far. Referees, the KMI panel, TV pundits, journalists etc re refereeing the game and deciding it wasn't a 2nd booking is just bullshit, he was a dirty bastard on the day and should have been off long before he was, along with Gogic and Laccoviti, as for Robinson he's full of shit.
  5. A great player, Arsenal slipped up letting him go, we never saw the best of him at Fir Park thanks to Charles Dunne.
  6. Correct, far more concerned with the expense paid trips abroad, Uefa and Fifa committee posts and their own SFA posts etc than getting a proper development structure in place to actually improve the national team.
  7. It's irrelevant what position he plays he could have been a striker, defender, keeper etc the point is he's 17, considered good enough for international football and was played, that does not happen if you are Scottish at least not under Clarke. Greece had a 17yo winger scoring, Spain had a 17yo striker scoring, Scotland had alleged experienced duds not scoring and under performing again and we wonder why we get relegated.
  8. Clarke has previous for filling squads with players he has no intention of giving any game time to. The boy that scored the 2nd goal for Greece was 17 ffs if they are considered good enough to be selected they should be played. As has been mentioned in other posts the promising young players in Scotland have been badly coached and developed for years,by successive regimes Some of these guys are regular starters for their respective teams, but get dumped in the nonsense that is the u21 set up, if they have the ability get them in the full squad and then maybe we could build a team for the future, instead of sticking with the so called experienced dross that constantly under performs year after year.
  9. I refer to the likes of, Slicker, Conway, Hirst, Adams, Dykes and a large list of non Scots given caps over the years because they had a Scottish Granny or Grandpa etc at the expense of homegrown talent like Miller, Turnbull, Doak, to name a few in a long list. The whole Scotland set up is a shambles as some of the best and promising talent in the country is constantly being overlooked.
  10. When will people realise that Clarke and the rest of the Scotland management are useless fuds, constantly filling the squads with bang average at best non Scots just because their Granny or Granpa ate shortbread at the expense of homegrown talent like Miller etc. Its time for the whole management team to be binned and replaced.
  11. Is the McGhee alleged pre contract thing still happening, given that was a Kettlewell choice, or is he going to do a Lammie and stay at Dens park.
  12. A quality tune " you got me" what a band they are
  13. A great point today, considering we offered feck all up front, the two goals apart we had only 1 other decent chance. Some of our play was excellent it actually looked like we had a midfield today, but we are still giving the ball away to easily St Mirren are thugs, the dirtiest team I've seen at Fir park for years, plus the ref was useless how Gogic was never booked is a disgrace. I'm a bit disappointed that we did not press them higher in those last 15 mins and get the winner but from 2-0 down it was a great point.
  14. Only one contender today, has to be Slattery
