Not atall just a disgruntled fan at the current situation and not trying to gloss over it like a lot on here.

You put it like he chose Edinburgh over Berwick because we’re not fashionable or something. The reason Edinburgh can offer more money is because they are a lot more ambitious behind the scenes than what we are.

It’s all over the place because being ‘wronged’ was clearly dominant in his thoughts when writing it. This is the guy who equated his role as twitter guy to that of the team manager before being dumped.
The worst bit is the finger being pointed at the club for Henderson choosing Edinburgh over us, despite the difference in what each club could offer. Dom hated Henderson at Berwick and regularly slaughtered him on here to the point that Blair directed a celebration at him after a goal. He also hate McKenna who did similar and has also gone on to far better things. To then belittle fans for having hope in the manager when he was appointed, because ‘he knew better’ is hilarious.
As I said before, he skims over some of the things he has a point with and even then litters it with errors. It’s absolutely nothing new and people have gone more in depth on here, the difference being that he’s so far up his own arse it’s more attack and destroy, tinged with bitterness than the mainly constructive things you see here. Probably because most supporters are thinking of the club rather than themselves.Again he blamed the clubs lack of ambition not the club. Which again is correct.
Genuinely don’t know how a post could destroy our club? Maybe the manager is doing a better job of if that.

For what it's worth the boy Dom seems like a total bellend and that article is tragic. Last thing Berwick need now is that sort of poisonous moon howler getting space to write his stuff. Some of it may be accurate but the tone is utterly tragic.
Edit: right now all he is concerned about is himself. All he can achieve is exposure for himself and no good for the club.
Cant see that atall and may be the only 1. But all I can see is Dom highlighting exactly what is wrong with the club and why we are in the position we are in.

Thanks for your concern and yes I did say to Gary I wouldn’t be going back, in fact the actual words used are I’m done with it.
I wasn’t at Annan but a 6-0 defeat makes me angry because I care, like most supporters we all say I’m not going back at various times.
So to summarise, Dom was pretty much spot on with his post.

For those that couldn't be arsed to detach themselves from their keyboard only a week past Saturday, the Chairman elect, on behalf of the board, gave backing to the manager; who was also there to be open to all the questions. I guess some posters were there? Hard to say, I didn't hear any of the observations or questions here from the brave men here mostly articulated (only) from behind said keyboards.
Talking of bravery, at the time both guys stood up there, not knowing who would turn up, or what they might be asked, we were one point behind Albion. That's still the case, why the need for another statement? Must this be weekly to keep some folks happy? Daily??
Hey, credit where its due; and hang your head in shame posting vitreolic stuff on here about Board commitment if you could have been there, but didn't go.
@Fergie1, I tried something approaching conciliatory, but your response confirmed that you're a reactionary numbskull who (should have) lost the right to make comment about our football club when you called for fans to boycott the next matches; what planet are you on.Do you also believe @Disc Potato is a reactionary numbskull?

Yes plenty.
Basically blames Berwick as club for Blair Henderson choosing Edinburgh City. Which job would you go for if there was £100 a week difference in wages?
"Sadly, we’ve had nothing but rain since and the fund is now gone" Does Dom do the accounts? There is plenty left as the vice-chairman eluded to at the open forum.
"leaving a boardroom full of dinosaurs to run the club" Totally disagree with this comment. As reported by Berwick Mad, George Mathieson has provided to the supporters club a strategy for taking the club forward.
"Whilst it’s blindingly obvious now that Johnny was the wrong man for the job, I felt at the time this was the case" The biggest load of aftertiming I've seen. There wasn't exactly a list full of shit hot candidates applied and the fact only two were interviewed tells you everything. At that stage Johnny was by far the best candicate and deservedly got the job IMO.
"The first thing Mr Harvey did upon his arrival was send Cedwyn Scott – a striker on loan from Dundee – back to his parent club" Cedwyn asked to go back and this wasnt the first time he was spoken to for his attitude, the previous manager also had strong words for him. He thought playing for Berwick was like a kick about with his mates. Check his minutes on the pitch since his switch to Forfar.
9. Ahmed Aloualou - Fails to mention he is actually signed with a championship club in Alloa. Makes it sound like Johnny went along to a school hall and signed him up. FYI, I also think this was a poor signing.
"any style of play whatsoever as the players now seem to have no idea or direction" There looked to be plenty of direction in our recent match against Peterhead.
"Harvey arrived with a bit of a reputation for arrogance and talking nonsense from former roles. " Nothing wrong with a bit of arrogance if you are a football manager, I used to watch all his post match Penicuik videos and don't remember him talking much nonsense.
This may come across as I am sticking up for Johnny, I'm not, I'm simply telling you the facts. Had a long conversation with JH on Monday as he totally disagreed with some of my comments on other platforms of social media. I told him my honest thoughts and I'll go along on Saturday with my pray mat and support the boys to hopefully win 3 points. Will you be there?
A lot of contradictory from you there, biggest one is probably you saying on Facebook you wouldn’t be going back to Shielfield again this season and have just asked me if I will be there tongue in cheek.
He blamed Berwick lack of ambition that Henderson chose city.
I think JH record tells anyone he was clearly the wrong man.
First I’ve heard of the attitude issue with Scott, but is this was to be the case maybe trying to resolve these issues and keeping him would have been more beneficial considering his stats based on the photo attached.
Signed with a championship is completely irrelevant and doesn’t mean he’s a player. And I would question whether or not Harvey did actually see him play considering he hasn’t exactly played much football at Alloa.
Plenty of direction shown in 1 game. Again I’ve seen you mention plenty of time how the team didn’t even compete especially in the last 2 games.
His post match interviews have became a laughing stock, as evident on here where most people like to come on a joke about them.

Dom was asked to carry out a simple task by the vice chairman. Dom refused as he thought the vice-chairman was wrong and he was in the right. He was even allowed time to go away, re-think and still carry out the task asked of him. Dom still refused. Dom was released from his role.
Tell me one job where you would still be in employment if you had done what Dom did.
This has little to do with the actual tweet.
ps. There is plenty left in the pot Dom.
Ofcourse the club were right to relieve him of his duties. As you say if this where doms actual employers who pay his wages, he would have removed it & if he didn’t he would have been rightly sacked also. But going back to his post for paddy power, do you disagree with any of the points?

Whether doms post was bitter or not, can anybody disagree with any of his points?

Let's not delude ourselves into thinking Aaron was anywhere near SPFL 2 standard. Very hard agree on Willis and Phillips though, same for Scott and Todd as well (your mileage may vary on him though).
From what I’m lead to believe/heard murrell is set to sign for another league 2 side in the summer. And would I take him right now in place of what we have? 100%. The same could probably be said for every player he released with the eacception of O’Neill. Again referring to the interviews like dom has said, before the arrival of Knox he gave us all a great build up of how good he was going to be yet when he left said we couldn’t afford a player of his ability in the team. The player was only here for about a month surely he knew that before hand. And said the exact same about Willis weeks after praising him and talking about how influential he would be and was.

And it’s not until I read that, that you realise some of the shocking ongoing since Harvey’s arrival. Happy, Knox, valentine three players who basically never even kicked a ball for us and you could throw aloulou into that as well whilst releasing players like Willis, murrell and Phillips.

To be fair he’s on the money with a huge amount here. The fact Harvey will be in charge on Saturday is an absolute joke. Eyre is fast asleep at the wheel.He’s 100% on the money with everything that he’s said. Clearly Jonny was the one that had a problem with the take your face for a shite tweet and been the one to get Dom sacked.

The authority's have fcuked up big time awarding AR a 3-0 win, correct me if I am wrong but AR where something like 7 points behind BR and were dead and buried, the psychological boost they gained is also significant as I believe they had only won one game all season at that point, oppositely it has effected BR also.
I was waiting on somebody using the psychological card. What a lot of nonsense, there recent run of victory’s is down to the players they have recruited, there manager making them harder to beat. not a physiological boost

Mercifully this bit of the thread will become academic on Friday.
Meanwhile though, here is another scenario. Suppose it was QP in our position and ended up 1 point ahead of Albion with 1 goal better difference. The sanction for the 2 matches would mean that QP actually finish 10th and Albion finish 9th, despite actually drawing against Clyde whereas Albion lost! (someone check my maths)
Just saying that the sanctions should be against the side at fault, and innocent parties should not be disproportionately affected.
It’s all what ifs though isn’t it. What if Albion where to bring in some1 before our game on the 27th they win 1-0. A quick search on google for what happens when a team plays an ineligible player shows you that fifa rules state the team forfeits the match and the other team is awarded the 3-0 victory. What are we then pushing for? Are we happy that Albion would just be deducted there 3 points and we are still 1 point behind? Highly doubt it. This might seem strange why I am posting this and ofcourse we all want the same outcome on Friday. The problem is I can’t see it changing and can’t help but feel most of us will use this as the excuse as to why we finished 10th not the fact we have won 1 game since November Albion have won 3/4.

It was answered previously when you posted the same thing.
Yes our rules must be approved by FIFA but they do not have to be exactly word for word the same sanctions etc as for FIFA run competitions. Football authorities have some level of autonomy to decide their own regulations.
I see you chose to ignore my question as to why this punishment wasn’t used on hearts.I’m not sure why the same punishment wasn’t issued to hearts, could it be down to the fact it was a youth player whos new contract hadn’t been registered properly? Rather than recalling a loan player out with the registered window? Unless someone can show me something else in black and white that says otherwise to the rules I have shown from FIFA then I’m afraid it will be very difficult for me to grasp mate yes.

Why was this not applied in previous cases then including hearts vs cove earlier this very season?
This specific sanction has never been applied in our domestic game before to my knowledge.
You keep continually quoting FIFA guidelines which apply to FIFA competitions, these rules do not have to be adopted verbatim by all organisations.
Why is that so difficult for you to grasp?Sorry, so do we not comply with FIFA rules and regulations then? Genuine question that has already been asked and not answered? Can’t see anything in the SFA website/documents but a quick scan through a lot of these documents shows a lot of thing must be approved by guess who... FIFA?

I’ll say it again the punishment for playing an ineligible player has always been docked 3 points, not the result reversed this is new. Why? Who decided? Is it in the law no it’s totally ambiguous. A decent barrister would wipe the floor with this.
This is now the 3rd/4th time this has been posted...

We have 4 huge games left, that should be our focus nothing else. What will be will be on Friday but it’s something I am not going to get worked up or excited about as I can’t see it changing.

If Clyde were affected by say Peterhead getting three points awarded and it meant they lost the league, there would be holy hell to pay..being Berwick however, just saying.
It is not unfortunate Mr snake, it IS unfair AND unprecedented.I’m sorry mate I am only stating facts from what I have read in the FIFA(the governing body of football in case you where unaware) disciplinary code. Something which I think every1 else seems to be ignoring. Hence the reason why I can’t really feel hard done by, more unfortunate.

Let us suppose that Albion had won that game 3-0. Is it right that Clyde would (apart from a measly fine) go unpunished for that game but lose a point for the game v QP for exactly the same misdemeanour?
That would also mean that QP get 2 points awarded , but Albion get nowt despite the same crime being committed against both.
The discipline should affect Clyde and nobody else.
That’s a crazy post that mate, sorry.

The long and short of it is regardless of what has happened/will happen, it looks like it will all be down to what looks like it might well be essentially a decider on the 27th. Ofcourse a draw would have done us had the Albion not been awarded 3 points, but like somebody else posted, the way I see is we are unfortunate for us not unfair if the rules I have posted are correct. And at the end of the day when Albion where awarded there 3-0 victory on the Friday night we were still 4 points clear of them. So probably more down to our own performances on the field rather than anything else. Tough to say but unfortunately it’s the truth.

I’ve read all these in researching it. And the biggest thing that stands out is all these examples are of suspended players who have been booked sent off. Clyde recruited a player out with the window, could that be why there is a difference? Again just questions. And the biggest thing for me is, regardless of previous examples, it says in black and white in FIFAs disciplinary code, a team sanctioned with a forfeit is considered to have lost the match 3-0.
