  1. Bartley's surely got some dirt on Queen of the South's board that they don't want out, no?

    Been a running joke in the press box about his survivability after every abject result. The man's bulletproof.

    Although that said if we were to go 5 points clear of QoS with two games in hand that'd be a pretty hard benchmark to recover from.

    I'm not even convinced that all of these youngsters are even coming into the ground to watch games.

    decent fans can certainly self police in the ground but as I say, difficult after matches where most folk head back into the town centre absolutely none the wiser.

    Seen it all now and while I don't want to downplay what happened at all, as you say it's not fans there to see the football.

    Ally Roy's goal went in at 16:48:37 on Saturday, Kev's goal was a minute earlier and none of these 'fans' have seen them because they've already left to get to the away side. Pure trouble making for the sake of it.

  3. Winding up orders are very public. https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/4517832

    Didn't know the amount right enough. 

    Some paltry research:

    Quote

    Reasons for HMRC issuing a winding-up petition could include:

    Unpaid Taxes: The company has accrued a significant amount of unpaid taxes, such as VAT, PAYE, or Corporation Tax.
    Previous Attempts Failed: HMRC may have previously attempted to collect the debt through other means, such as issuing reminders, demands, or even pursuing legal action like statutory demands.
    Severe Financial Distress: HMRC believes the company is in severe financial distress and may not be able to meet its tax obligations in the future.
    Failure to Engage with HMRC: The company may have not engaged with HMRC in a satisfactory manner to address the outstanding tax debt.
    Exhaustion of Alternative Options: HMRC may have exhausted other available avenues for recovering the debt.

    Sorry to hear about your young fans getting attacked leaving the game. Our "casuals" are an embarrassment. Hopefully the club can do something about them going forward and keep them away from the games.

    3-1 flattered us a bit today. You didn't look like a club in the midst of financial troubles on the park. You're number 10 (Dean I think?) looked pretty good.

    Out of the loop what happened outside today.

    But I will say there was a few in trouble that I have never seen or heard of after the Hamilton game. I don't think it's a coincidence that we've got one of the most impoverished areas in the country across the road and kids kicking about with nothing to do, getting their kicks from breaking things. The culture is broken.

    Policing is dead soft now too. It's like they're not even around. Almost makes you long for a bit of Italian or French police brutality.

    How was young Finlay Marshall for Edinburgh City today? Have seen him in a few games over the last year. Big step up and will take him to develop but could be a player there.

    Wasn't one of the ones to catch my eye. Judging by the fact I questioned if he was playing for the first 65 minutes odd. Didn't mind Deane and Zaid but understandably not a great Edinburgh side.

    On 11 December 2023, a petition was presented to Livingston Sheriff Court

    Livingston trying to kill another Edinburgh football club. 

    I assume the petitioner is HM Revenue and Customs so it's a tax bill they've not paid. Local sheriff court because they're not big enough to go to the court of session.

    Probably quite inevitable Rodden would go. His opportunities likely to be limited with Sammon and Roy ahead in the pecking order. I liked Rodden and could produce on his day- always hungry and put in a ton of work.

    Our squad is pretty large, so if a few more leave to get more football then may pave the way to perhaps bring in less numbers but higher quality.

    Aye I'm pretty similar. I liked him when he got an opportunity. Still our top scorer this season despite the limited appearances and some tidy goals I've enjoyed this season. Don't think he's a player who can carry the ball when you're up against it and not supporting from midfield but a buoyant Stenny he might end up with a hatful of goals. Definitely the player I looked at and thought he would be one that someone would gamble on.

    Tough on the strikers in general because there's only space for one or two at a stretch with how Andy has been setting us up. Interesting to see what business we do coming in or if it will just be shaving the squad numbers down.

    The chairman John Dickson has said that the club is not at the stage where administration is being considered but they have admitted that they simply have no money which was why we’ve lost so many players, and folded up our women’s and under 20’s teams 

    If you have no money and a creditor comes calling... then there's not much you can do to avoid it. 

    I just wonder how enthusiastic home supports will be to watch what is on offer. Season tickets are meaningless as you already have burned through their money. Unlikely to have regular walkups for the home team and only really the big gate of Falkirk this year. Beyond that there's not too much away supporters. Certainly not enough to sustain the kind of wages that follows a League 1 side.

    There  is a heavy frost on the ground but hopefully clear up mid day , youngsters training on Kinross Astro when I was up at the butchers getting ma steak pie so should be game on 

    Not sure like. Rain better start soon if they want to start at 3pm.

  10. Couple minutes of madness happened. We were good today but failed to do the thing that great teams can do... kill the game. Andy said almost exactly what I said in the disappointed atmosphere of the Alloa press box... coming up as soon as I get my dinner.

    In tech news, my connection at the club...

    Article 48 seriously needs to get in the bin. It's a total myth that being able to watch the games at home hurts attendance.

    Preaching to the choir. Unfortunately looks like we'll be stuck with it for a while yet with the broadcasting contracts running to pretty much the end of the decade now.

    Cheers mate. I dunno why but I was expecting a PPV option. Oh well, £18 it is then. COYB.

    Saturday 6th January will probably be a PPV against QoS. Our game against Edinburgh will be.

    For some reason Scotland has an exemption that day but England doesn't (so no watching from English IP addresses. Awkward when my phone thinks I live in central London.)

    The SPFL might forward them their prize money to keep them going, 10th place at first, then any extra if they finish above that at the end of the season. That's what they did for Gretna which worked well.

    I don't think you get the prize money in a lump sum. It's regular payments throughout the year and topped up at the end with the difference.

    It would suit Alloa having dropped 5 points so far to Edinburgh for them to fold but I have my doubts they'll be going anywhere. They'll just drastically cut the cloth and get through with the bare minimum and kids. Most if not all of their player budget will be alleviated in January so unless they've royally miscalculated they'll be a League 2 side restarting next year.
