I think that's the attitude of most Saints fans tbf. Sometimes a player just doesn't suit a club/manager and vice versa.

All very well until it comes to a vote about something

And here was me just querying what the definition of democracy was but thanks anyway.

So what's your idea of democracy. Letting a minority dictate to the majority. I always thought it was the other way around, silly me.

You're giving Steelboy a run for his money.

Football and politics just don't mix and only causes division so probably better giving it a wide berth tbh.

I've always thought you should have to pass some kind of intelligence test before they let you have a social media account.

If you're talking about the WOSL as an Association then I think you're wrong that they aren't committed to a pyramid. Why would they have even bothered setting it up if they weren't. What we do have is a split amongst the clubs, some are extremely pro pyramid some are lukewarm towards it and some are completely apathetic. That includes club officials and fans

At least we've stopped talking about Victorian drainage systems

That epitomises our season in 90 mins. An absolute roller coaster of emotions. I need a lie down when I get home.

Dont see any arm twisting from the SJFA going on to force clubs into entering the competition against their will. They go into it with their eyes wide-open in the knowledge that they're more than likely to have a long expensive journey somewhere along the way.

Oh I'm not blind but then again neither are the clubs, so to go back to my original point, if they dont like him or his direction of travel then they have the power to stop him in his tracks. If they choose not to then they must be happy to let him carry on with whatever quest he's on. Thats the thing about democracy, its great until it doesnt suit your own personal objectives. To tell you the truth I don't know much about the guy other than what I've read on here and that going by some of his alleged comments he's obviously got a soft spot for the old halcyon days of the former SJFA and that obviously sticks in the craws of some posters on here.

How can you have a hostile takeover of an association where any appointments and any changes to the constitution/rules have to be agreed by the majority of member clubs

The number of posters on here who must have the word "Junior" set up as an alert on their phones is impressive.

Has there ever been an SPL league game played behind closed doors (outwith the covid seasons of course) or would this be a first.

Apparently takes a couple of hours to lift the covers away so presumably they start that at 9am to allow for an inspection at 11am which means that if its raining that's 6 hours of rainfall onto an already sodden pitch. Hopefully I'm wrong but I can see a late late call off if the rain keeps up tomorrow. Any decent local games on if that turns out to be the case?

Don't think he'll he taking many prisoners.

Thanks for that info Busta. Can see where the interest in football comes from now and makes a bit more sense of his motives.

It'll be interesting to see what this guy's motive is behind the bid. As far as I can see he doesn't seem to have any major sporting interest? Maybe he sees some profit in the media angle or maybe he just wants somewhere to take his Hollywood pals for a pint and take in a game when they visit Scotland. I look forward to seeing Orlando Bloom buying a round in the Cooper bar.

A perfect day out imo

I've always thought we missed the bus a bit with Ravenscraig. I imagined a new stadium linked to the Ravenscraig facility with franchises like MCDs KFC etc based there generating rental income and giving community groups NL Council and the NHS office facilities like you say. A fully integrated community and sports facility in partnership with the different bodies. You can always dream.

The Angel of Death and prophet of doom that is Steelboy.

Sorry to mention SO again but someone there suggesting that US tax laws allows a write off for foreign expenses. Dont know whether that is the case or not or whether it applies to companies or individuals. Sounds good though.

My take on it is why would we appoint a new CEO and why would any new CEO accept the position if he/she knew that any potential investor was wanting to take a majority stake in the club and appoint their own man. I'm sure our new CEO would be fully aware of any offer before he took up the job so that gives me a bit of comfort that it might well just be investment with no desire for full control. As always the proof will be in tbe small print.

Great 5 games especially if it's close at the top and bottom Pity the other 30 odd are usually utter shite.
