Think this is a pretty responsible attitude. Worth giving the FSS guys a hearing to understand what action they have taken already and will be taking in the coming days. Gary Deans would be proud of the board here by the way. This move is right out of his playbook.

It would seems obvious they don't want to 'burden' future Rawlings/Campbell types with a pesky supporters group who can actually do something. Which is an utter disgrace. I suspect this is a board panicking about the financial situation at the club and wanting to keep the option open of abandoning fan ownership. Which may not be palatable to the fans (many of whom to be fair won't have sleepless nights about black holes in budgets) Democracy is tough sometimes. As is being on a board.

The poster above who i quoted did say that. Incorrectly.

A controlling interest that doth not make.

Have they?

This is utterly scandalous by the way, but easily solvable. As an earlier poster said, FSS should immediately stop all contributions to the club until this decision is reversed. Any FSS rep on the board must resign if this decision is persisted with. This is a very deliberate power move from someone who's watched Brian Cox in Succession too many times. It's not an accident and there literally is no justification for it if you understand how companies work. I completely understand why FSS contributors are utterly fuming.

Is it suspicious that the board have fucked over FSS just after they've taken out this loan of 350K through the Fan Bank?

Am guessing Agyeman could fill in up front if MacIver is injured. Or Oliver.

If there's a club in world football less suited to fan ownership than us, I'd be amazed

Good chance we'll see your mob next season to sword in the Championship again

Hibs under Lee Johnson are going to be the gift that keeps on giving this season. Hilariously bad.

The Big Hoose must stay open.. That's the bottom line.

Especially as we know a Rumarn Burrell goal is inevitable to make it 1-0

Oh and thought the singing section was really good. Definitely helped the atmosphere particularly in the first half when the game was brutal. Well done bumfluff growers.

From a second look on the highlights - Really brave header for the first goal. MacIvor could easily have been wiped out so fair play to him - great header. - Their goalie is the worst I've ever seen at this level. Looked like when a defender takes over when there's a sending off - Neither penalty claim was a penalty - MacIvor's first half miss looked even worse. Even if he'd succeeded in cutting back on the left he'd never have got a shot away. Brutal. - The pitch played really well even with the rain. Big difference from last season.

Agree on the part time thing. Annan went from looking organised and capable (bit Edinburgh Cityish) to a total gang after 60 minutes. Blowing out of their arse and completely incapable of getting out of their last third. Has to be at least partly fitness.

Different game second half. Annan tired really badly..played like they were into a gale force wind. Really stepped it up though. Night and day performance fron Morrison. Excellent second half.

I still like him. He's really direct and will get better I think. Unless our insipid slow ponderous shite beats the spirit out of him which it might well. Long long season ahead.

Annan were fucking dreadful for 25 minutes but looked the more likely to score after that. We're fucking shite. McIvor has been abysmal. So has Morrison. Incredibly I think we need to bring on Nesbitt.

Don't think today will tell us an awful lot, unless we fail to win. Really good opening fixture..home against a relegation candidate. Should be a comfortable 2 or 3 goal win.

I think 'failure to sign a right back' is pretty low on my 'Why McGlynn is shit' list.

I don't think anyone would be surprised if we reach January and there's another dire 'we're fucked' email from the board pointing out we have a large black.hole we need new investment thos season to plug.

Absolutely bizarre shout. Thought Rowe was a breath of fresh air at right back. He actually made loads of great runs that Morrison fucked up the pass for or some other clogger ignored. I'd love to have him back.
