Does it not have to be deliberate hand ball to be a penalty? Or are there other clauses in that rule that would apply? It's a long time since I read the rule book.

I'd be very surprised if that happened, tbh. The chance was there when Les stepped in to take over the club, and the queue seemed to be one person long. Just extracting the current Society from the club and reworking the existing agreements would be challenging.

Maybe he's worried nobody else noticed.

I don't think anyone in the club is unaware of that particular problem. I said at the start of the season, it was unrealistic to expect some instant or massive improvement with basically the same core of players. It's going to take some hard work and a little more time before we are even a middling SPFL team and finding our scoring is a key part of that puzzle. It's an added stress on the defence who know that conceding one goal at the moment means it's unlikely we'll pick up all 3 points.

The Society hasn't serviced any of the loan, has it? Or did I miss that.

If our defenders had read the opinions of Vigurs on here, they probably thought he wasn't worth marking.

+1 on the playmaker. We have struggled to find a consistent performer in that role. A fit Vigurs being the closest in recent times.

Apparently we finished second bottom last season, well behind ICT.

Aye, that was a long drive home.

Easiest job on the park for me is in the slot behind the strikers. Space, time and if you make a mistake, you get applauded for trying instead of slated.

You're right. Sportsmanship is going to be the death of our game.

In a game where there are many average players and managers whose talents are overestimated by the media, Yogi's talents seem to fly under the radar. His record holds up well against his peers.

Glory hunters.

Saw Murphy scored again today. Could be playing in the EPL next season.

Zounds! A pox on you, Sir.

He's still learning and developing, but happy to give him some time. It took guys like Porter a while to settle in and get up to speed and he turned out OK.

Soft (re-taken) pen + deflected goal. Bad day at the office.

Rangers are his big team, though. He was obviously upset post-match in last season's play-offs.

Whether he claims to be a St Mirren fan or not, you'd have to be blind not to spot his affinity with the blue side of the Old Firm. Only an Excuse is funny because it amplifies the truth with a bit of satire. Nothing wrong with that in principle - it's when it biases your interviews etc. that it becomes a problem. His discussion with our own GM after the play-off win is a prefect example of this.

True, but that was a one-off transaction because, bizarrely, the Society structure was not allowed to make loan legally that year. Still boggles the mind that the lawyers didn't spot that one during creation.

I read the terms and conditions, but it was still unclear if I will be able to use my plot to scatter the family's ashes in coming years.

Sounds like a typical lower league Conference team.

Or he'll just stop covering the summer tournaments, but stay on for SPFL coverage in the winter

As far as I know (which may be wrong), the club can't take any money from the Society. Only borrow it.

Someone who was at a Q&A can answer better than me - although I believe there are details published somewhere too. From memory, though, the loan was made ot the club and the club is supposed to service the loan. Once the loan is paid off, the Society buys the majority shareholding. I think there is provision in there for the Society to make up the shortfall if the club fails to make a full repayment, but nothing more.
