No-one is discussing the foul on MacIver in the box in the first half that was ignored by the ref. I was a long way from it and the highlights don't show it, anyone closer to give an opinion? OK - there are about to be two more signed copies of the Untouchables Book about to be put up as prizes (Falkirk Daft already gave one away) to raise funds for the club. The FSS will have one and the other will be the Equity Bairns. Both managers and 14 players have signed it (only 5 copies were signed in this way). So keep an eye out for the competitions. I understand there are only c. 60 copies left for sale in the shop or online. I believe the ref was quite close to it? Wonder what his opinion was? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think clubs have had around 2,000 from Celtic for cup ties depending on the circumstances so hopefully we can push for at least that number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Problem with new recruits is who to drop? We already have a group of players good enough to start sitting on the bench. Who would have thought that 2 years ago? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already have a group of players good enough to start sitting on the bench. Who would have thought that 2 years ago? I don’t think anyone is talking about dropping someone. Every single player has been outstanding and deserves their place. It’s more about depth. One could argue, that we technically only have 2 registered centre half’s on our books, with one being out injured long term. I think a signing in that department makes sense. Also frees up Hendo to move into midfield, if we got an injury. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have two full backs who could fill in but it is a bit risky 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also puts pressure on tait and Spencer to maintain their form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMBairn Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I'd be happy to see most of this money banked to be honest, extensions and a loan deal or 2 and then building up our rainy day fund. There has been a lot of chatter about clubs running out of cash left and tight lately, given we don't have one big rich guy having a few hundred grand in the bank could come in handy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPM Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 1 hour ago, bairn88 said: Quick (probably wrong) maths. No official attendance announced but think there was about 50k in today v Hibs at £25 an adult. There’ll be about the same in for us hopefully and the price will most likely be the same. Accounting for concessions that’ll be £1m divided by 2 so 500k gross. Then the fabled “expenses” come in, but the tv pick means an extra £30k? Plus quarter final losers is £40k more than last 16 losers. I’d say we’ll maybe get a £400-450k boost to the bank account from the tie It is way way more complicated than that. Sometimes you get all the cash for your fans. Sponsor freebees have to come off, free tickets (players comps etc.) Less VAT less 15% to the home team, less VAR costs , less, less, less. If there is 50,000 there best guest is 250k tops IMO. Money not budgeted but not quite as good as it looks from raw numbers. Gives the Board plenty of headroom all the same to support contract extensions, loans and rainy day money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 This is unbudgeted revenue. I’d think investing in the current squad, via looking at extending those o/o/c in 25, to 26 & identifying/investing in probable targets (Adams, MacIver etc) would be prudent. The squad seem all in it for each other at present, so why not secure their future. If it stretches to a loan or two to strengthen/better the side all to the good. The league is where our focus should be. Just hope the experience of playing at a major ground, in front of a large home support doesn’t get to them & they do themselves justice. Its where they want to be playing regularly anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 It’s a massive occasion for these players who have blended into a one hellava close knit group. Every single player giving it their all, and the scenes at the second goal, I haven’t witnessed for a long bloody time. MCGlynn will absolutely play this game down, as weve got so many bigger games this season. Looking forward to the game, but the Partick game can’t come quick enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBairn Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 (edited) Echoing points already made and we should be wise & prudent with this unbudgeted money. Would like to see contracts expiring in June 25 extended to June 26, with maybe a loan or two coming in to bolster the squad cover. Ideally should have left over cash for general operating costs and rainy day fund. The way the Club's been run up to now, I'd wager the BOD are already ticking the boxes, dotting the I's and crossing the T's. They've earned it. I'd also bet we're taking the Challenge Cup seriously too with £100K for winning it. Edited August 18 by GunnerBairn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
