There are some moon-howling St Mirren fans (I know, I was surprised as well) who are convinced Kibble are secretly running the show as part of some plot to achieve... I'm not sure. It reached a head about 18 months ago when former chairman Stewart Gilmour was mounting a campaign to get voted onto the SMISA board. Coincidentally, the vast majority of conspiracy chat has quietened down since he was successful. They're undeniably a big part of the club but they're absolutely not calling any shots or running finances or picking Robinson's teams or playing in the holding midfield role. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kibble or Bible-k are an offshoot of the Mormon Church and their ultimate aim is to convert us to becoming Latter Day Saints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a bizarre time on bawarmy too. No surprise that the guy behind the “Glen” account chucked it as soon as that Smisa election concluded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprise the club didn't give you all the tickets to start with, since your fans normally fill the away stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Killie would have made St Mirren aware we would sell it out considering tickets were only being made available to season ticket holders and even then on a first come first served basis with no general sale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally bizarre. Kilmarnock are consistently the away side that sell out their allocation at St. Mirren park more than any other outside the arsecheeks so it's a strange situation that we haven't just handed them the full stand. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the outside looking in it would appear that (if they are running the club) then they are doing a good job. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think most of the level-headed ones amongst the support understand that there is a fine balance to be had between the SMISA representatives and the Kibble representation and generally it's a beneficial partnership for the overall good health of the club. Others believe that they are sitting back waiting to asset-strip or doing a jobs for the boys type deal and despite no concrete evidence of either ever being produced, several 'yer da' types unfortunately bought into this narrative. There was also a big thing made that we wanted Stevie Naismith (one of the two candidates along with Scott Brown) before appointing Robinson - apparently he did interview and some folk concluded through a look at the higher ups in Kibble that a relative of Naismith was on the Kibble's BoD so was being primed as a shoo-in for the job and ended up looking daft when he didn't even get close to being offered the job. Indeed, our former chairman, who over the piece, served a mostly admirable tenure are the helm of the club, seemingly decided that he couldn't let his legacy be what it was and had a few mates on socials putting out a lot of nonsense regarding the stewardship of the club - insisting he had to get back involved via the SMISA board (but not the club board) to take Kibble to task and hold them accountable and more or less ran a campaign that was basically solely along the lines of 'kibble bad' - he got his seat on the board as a result....just and no more. As yet, his vow to 'take them to task' has not transpired because, as suspected, there's nothing to take them to task over.

Doctor Sanchez Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 If Kibble are trying to ruin us, they're doing a fucking RUBBISH job of it. Attendances up, season tickets up, the most number of international players in living memory in the squad (some who cant get a regular start in the team), top 6 finish last year, pushing for Europe this year. I for one welcome our new Kibble overlords. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Merdy's Boots Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) Do St. Mirren fans really think fourth is completely out of reach? It is a bit of a long-shot I suppose, especially seeing as Sevco have just taken the lead, but it's not completely wild to think that before we play each other in Paisely you could be within three or five points of the mighty Killie. Win that, and it would be squeaky bum time for us going into the last week of the season. Edited April 28 by David Merdy's Boots 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Sanchez Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cv2rm73r06eo That'll be Kwon out for the rest of the season then. Hope we can sort something out for next season. He looked the real deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, in 2 weeks time it would be good if you could give us the 3 points, we can call it the European qualification derby and have a party afterwards. Always liked Kilmarnock. Good bunch of lads and lassies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
