His inability to see similarities between financial losses of clubs is up there with Ross County fan levels. Certainly battling hard to be the biggest thicko on this thread.

Your first sentence suggests that no one is battling harder for that title than you. 

Quite remarkable 👏

I don't see any similarity between losing millions and having to get loans from directors to cover and losing a few hundred grand which the club is able to cover without resorting to loans from directors. Completely and utterly different. ICT have taken on loans of millions from directors we don't owe a penny to directors. 

You no longer owe any money to directors but you have relied on them for massive amounts in the past.  Just a couple of years ago your club was sending out the begging bowl warning of imminent financial disaster.  Eventually bailed out by the Scottish Government.

Where are you getting this massive amounts from ? We haven't taken loans from directors for many years and the loan from the Scottish govt was to lay a new pitch ffs. Honestly where do you get all this shit from. Jesus wept.

Absolute bullshit.  You got over £300k from the government that had nothing to do with your new pitch.  You also got grants of over £240k towards the cost of £335k.

This is taken from your last published accounts -

We’re going to need some context here, Sarge. 

On his previous guise he was very prominent in the Falkirk thread, complaining when they went down,  but pontificating how well run they were. Then the arse fell out of it, contrary to his every word. I can't  remember who asked, but he was asked a few pointed questions  and disappeared, then came back, thinly disguised, when the heat was off.

My specialised subject is ridiculing basket case clubs, but not pretending there's any moral high ground. Even if there was, Falkirk and @Shodwall catdon't belong on it.

The supporters society took out a loan from the govt not the club. This was then used to buy shares to take control of the club. You really need to look into what you are coming up with.

If I remember correctly he was making bets that Falkirk would be 20 points ahead by Christmas in their first year in League One.

So you haven't taken a loan for a pitch and you have had recent funding from directors.  Glad we cleared that up and that you first post was absolute bullshit like I stated.

Are you seriously trying to compare us getting a grant for a new  pitch to the Inverness shambles. Come on. And noone denied we'd taken that out. It's hardly exactly irresponsible spending.

The other thing that is relevant here from the ICT/Falkirk perspective is that they both went after similar off-field activities with property and events.  There isn't as much difference between the clubs as Falkirk fans would like to portray. 

Yes but we made a lot of money out of ours whilst ICT haven't made anything. There's big difference we don't shaft out creditors .
