  1. That’s rich coming from Connelly, glass houses, stones etc
  2. Based on that line I Should now be calling for at least 3 of their players to be sacked for their gestures to away fans at the end which were given without any provocation …. As someone else said get a grip ffs.
  3. Don’t recall your post having a go at our assistant manager for getting sent off for foul & abusive language. Picking on the ‘big heavy guy’ easy target.
  4. Sadly it’s not wee kids but adults now who should know better. If the old Bill had to taser one of the arseholes I’d hate to think what Cosmic Joe thinks isn’t a pile of shite
  5. You weren’t there, so you don’t know the facts. Guy should more passion than our esteemed chairman has done for the past 2 years. The camera of course will not have picked up the Stranraer fans attacking a wee lassies’s dad 5 mins into the game or their vicious attack with weapons outside the ground, or their team walking to the away end to gesture to the away support that they had ‘humped us etc’ or that they wanted to fight with half the Clyde team anytime they were tackled. In this world of click bait you should be careful who you vilify.
  6. I understand your wariness of change now, but 3 month cooling off period is most likely to see us with one foot in the Lowland league as the current squad is nowhere near good enough. The mystery benefactor is as much a mystery as the proposed new investors. While those wanting change are asked to reveal all, it seems the current Board can hide their hand. There in lies the problem. If Mr or Mrs X exists they have a right be anonymous but the Board have a duty to let members know what deal they have cut.
  7. I totally agree that would be the sensible way forward but, the Chairman/Board have battened down the hatches and actioned radio silence. The only way they will engage with the fans in a formal way is if the Members of the club call for an EGM. For a Board that has ‘fans’ on it, they don’t communicate with the guys they left on the terraces.
  8. Genuine question.... a player throws the ball in the face of an opponent deliberately. Straight red or yellow?
  9. Already started. Was away last week at a doo which included a good Raith lad. Neither of us could make yesterday but planning to meet up for return leg....... #lanarkshire/fife alliance
  10. on the question of the budget ... I think it may be gone, going by the latest announcement that they want you to pay a £5 for the privilage of having a drink now in the Arria and you have to pre-book if they have not sold all the hospitality. So your Season ticket gets you F' all apart into the games now. The Arria brought the fans together last year, but now this is only going to create a division with those who can afford ..... Sorry, this season is starting to look like a complete downer before we are off an running.
  11. Hate to say it, but your board may just be planning on an assault on the Lowland League with these appointments. Seems awful late n the day for 2 Guys to turnaround the rot against oil barons plaything from Aberdeen ( be surprised if EK get through now). Best of luck.
  12. So the Sweet F*ck All and their lackey's were aware of what Clyde were doing but kept Stumm..... then took great delight in imposing the most draconian penalty ever handed out for fielding an amateur player, while admitting their own admin does not include for checking team lines etc on a timely basis which begs the question as to how they can insist on clubs adhering to rules which by their own admission they don't bother checking..... that's what I take from the statement. My opinion has not changed...... F*ck the SFA & the SPFL
  13. Serious question....... are you happy with your teams position in the Scottish game? Why do we have the farcical 10 team leagues..... not to suit the 'wee' teams but to suit the Bigot brothers, and their hangers on. By Wee teams I mean everybody outwith those 2 & their cousins from auld Reekie.
  14. Let's just quit the in- fighting. I'm no lover of certain folks on the board but anyone can make an honest mistake. The SFA are so corrupt it wouldn't have made any difference what we said..only today the Dons chairman has called for transparency in the Scottish game. The Sweet F*ck All are only interested in money...... if you have it they will pander to you, if you don't they will kick you in the balls. This fine has nothing to with one player...... this is there retribution to giving them the 2 fingers over 2 earlier incidents which they could do nothing about. They are a slimey self serving organisation, who claim to do things for the good of Scottish football, but will sell home live internationals to a to company which prevents a lot of Scots from seeing their national team, just because it pays much more money than a national terrestrial station...... that is the kind of association it is. If anything we should be looking for the smaller teams to threaten a breakaway to put the Sh*ters up them!
  15. F*ck the SFA..... won't get another penny out of me for internationals now... head of the SFA ex Cove Chairman...... team that can be caught..... just up the road from Aberdeen. my thoughts with Berwick who have been shafted by the arses who don't have to answer to anyone it seems.
  16. It is incumbent on the ruling body to check team lines in a timely manner. Clyde admitted the mistake which seems to have arisen due to the change in how Junior and Senior players are treated in respect of the transfer window. Had Clyde signed Messi, played him under an assumed name and he scored a hat-trick in each game the punishment would fit the crime; but he was an untried centre half playing in a the junior leagues whose parent club was Clyde and was played as a makeshift centre forward. He also scored nada goals. It seems if you are in a certain league under SPFL your punishment is different, had Hearts been fined, had all 3 points deducted and a 3-0 walkover given to Cove then there was the possibility that they would not have qualified from that group. What's the missing element in the above..... money pure and simple, or to be more specific keeping the cup sponsor happy. god forgive we have cup shocks like down south..... that would never promote the game in Scotland. Easier to punish Peterhead, Clyde and Bogstandard Boys Club and look as if you are strict legislators of the game........ the classic politicians smoke & mirrors
  17. Is there something missing from the official site post then.... Starting with Saturday's visit of Edinburgh City, supporters will be able to enter home games at Broadwood using the contactless card facility. Home turnstiles E and F have been designated as 'cashless' entry points and Clyde fans should be prepared to use their credit or debit cards, to tap on the readers which will be used by the turnstile operators. Apple Pay and Google Pay will also be accepted. Cash entry will not be available at these two turnstiles. Turnstile E will be designated as 'fast entry' with adults only going through this entry point, while turnstile F will accommodate both adult and concession entries. Clyde fans unable to use this facility should go to the ticket window (adjacent to turnstile C), where adult and concession tickets can be purchased for cash. Season tickets can be redeemed at any of the three turnstiles; D, E and F. Club owners wishing to access the Arria Lounge should use the ticket window as above and then follow normal Arria accreditation procedures via the main door. The above measures are designed to speed up entry in due course, remove the need for cash handling at the turnstiles and reduce matchday costs. The club would therefore appreciate the co-operation of supporters with this initiative.
  18. Not against it, but just don't see the time saving factor which is one of the reasons they are bringing it in. Why not still have a cash turnstile as well which would make it quicker faster for those not using this modern method, rather having them stand in 2 Qs? another thought I have had is, what if you are being signed into the Arria with a season holder. Does the ticket window take contactless, or do you still need old fashioned cash?!!
  19. Now tha's a real community club idea, we can then hand the fresh produce to the less fortunate! Thumbs up from me.
  20. Ah, the folly of youth, the infallible computer/superhighway.... I remember when we were told plastic straws were the way forward
  21. Innovative but don't see how this will speed up entry except for those who can/wish to use a credit card: those who do not possess the dreaded plastic, or do not wish to use it for such trivia having to first Q at a window then enter via a turnstile will surely increase the entry time? As for matchday savings, you still need the same number of turnstile operators unless they will now be volunteers: you now have to have vouchers printed for those who don't use card, which you didn't have before; it also looks as if the usual methods will still be employed for away fans which may encourage some supporters without colours to enter via that route if the Q at the window is taking too long. Innovative as I said, just don't see any difference being made and you are now at the mercy of an internet connection.
  22. CIC members are owners/ shareholders who can attend AGM, so can anyone clarify as to what role the Foundation Members would play in any sale of the club?
  23. Hd can't fault you for just wanting to go and watch Clyde and not bother about anything else but the name change and leaving /not leaving the ice station are not excuses but facts that happened and caused people to chuck it. Many also see it as the only way they can register a protest against what they see as mismanagement by the Board. If you contually turn up and don't protest then you get the status quo, which at the moment is seriously woeful football, and no hope for the future. Alternatively you can turn up, protest and be ejected by the yellow jacket brigade on instructions of the Club ( essentially the Board). The whole supporters owned club thing was also a sham designed to get the move EK ratified as quickly as possible. I was aware of EK before the initial meeting where they dissolved the shares and set up the Community club. My contention has always been, had those setting up the Supporters owned club, truly wanted to engage with all fans, membership would have been included with a season ticket, as it is at other member clubs, or at least at £10 or £20. The statement at New Year provides no further evidence of a Board with any clear direction or plan which, as I have already said is one step away from the END. Sad but true.
