  1. Jesus wept. This shambles is beyond parody now, there's more life in Monty Python's Norwegian Blue.
  2. Option A - Rewatch that entire game Option B - Suck bowl of diarrhoea through a straw Correct answer - Pass me that straw
  3. His post match reactions after both results should furnish you with the answer. Loses against his first love and the club he started his career with and he shrugs his shoulders, loses against us and it's like his world just collapsed.
  4. https://streamable.com/lxkt3s Put on Radio Scotland as I was exiting the Pittodrie car park, the 10pm news was utterly joyous and put the icing on the cake. It really is a moment to savour.
  5. I sometimes think the whole world is conspiring against those running RSC's as each season every little change just makes it harder and harder. Other RSC's we work with are faced with the same so we hardly get any swaps now as there's nothing to swap anymore. Had the Travel Club still existed I'd have probably opted out of MyGers too, I felt the Travel Club being discarded was an act of disgrace at the very least it should have been a separate sub-section within MyGers. Personally I think we're relatively stable politically save the DK/Club72 stuff which is purely related to filthy lucre despite any claims to the contrary. I share your pain and frustration.
  6. I was always of the opinion that Murray was reasonably content to let the Club be criticised and castigated as long as it didn't spread to him and his empire. I get the employment of Jack Irvine by all the shady characters that have befallen us and agree with you as absolutely he was there to protect them personally at the Club's expense and you can argure that to large degree he succeeded in that brief. I digress with you regarding Whyte/Irvine assuming that is I'm reading it correctly. I too was extremely puzzled by the PR Communication strategy of for the want of a better term "good guys" at the tme around the "sale" to Whyte right through till the final push to the gazebo on the pitch. Iirc we were pretty much in tune at the time ploughing a very lonely furrow particularly in regards to Whyte et al. Looking back though I think I get their reasoning in doing it the way they did and in the cold light of day it I don't think it was as big an error as it appeared to me at the time. Post gazebo is an entirely different matter and like everyone else I'm both irked and puzzled by the whole PR and Communication strategy or rather non-strategy.
  7. Already stated ad nauseum the PR and Communication stuff, I'm shoulder to shoulder with you there. I'm more than content that the Board ignore the spend,spend,spend short termism that inevitably backfires. We surely all should want the Club to run sustainably within its means? Again I concur. The reactive rather than proactive nature of our PR irks immensely and is clearly a form of self harming. Whilst the price stung there's a valid argument that actually they priced it correctly according to market demand. I doubt you'll find anyone who doesn't think MyGers is a money raising scheme, it isn't perfect by any means but plenty are happy enough to join it. Such "loyalty" schemes are used all over Europe and beyond we're only playing catch up in that respect. I probably have even stronger feelings on this point than you, being a bus convener this has continually f*&ked me over, we can barely run a car to away games now let alone a bus. Removing Bar72 patrons from RSC lists has further compounded the situation for us. Fwiw safe standing is inevitable at some point but the simple fact of the matter is that it's way down the list of current priorities. One point I've noticed about some of those shouting for safe standing is a complete lack of understanding just what it is and what it entails. I hope those who do engage with the Club on the issue have a better understanding than the average keyboard warrior currently screaming for it. Personally I think when it is done it should be done correctly and those demanding the rail seating now because they have it accross the city would be selling the fans short in the longer term. Until recently I would have settled for wheelchair facilities that would have been far inferior those which the Club unveiled last week. I think the circumstances stances surrounding EH were pretty much outside the Boards control. Personally I'm absolutely delighted the sale of the Albion fell through if anything I'd like to see another storey on top of it. We should be looking to increase our property holdings in the vicinity of Ibrox not reduce them. That was a monumental failure of Murray's short term attitude during his tenure. I'm in the tiny minority that actually seen merit in the fixture Again I think it's maily the result of a PR and Communication failure which was entirely avoidable. I'm sure it'll all come out in the wash. I concur entirely, that was extremely disappointing to put it mildly. That's normal practice practically everywhere, can't see how that could possibly be regarded as a failure of the Board.
  8. I think their roots took hold long before the current regime gained control. They then failed to adequately convey to the fans just how far the Club had fallen in EVERY single department, a failure to communicate at the basic level. There are things we may not like to hear but we should hear (imho). In some respects their errors compounded already problematic areas (i.e. retail) but I don't think they're claiming infallibility. As much as Bisgove gets it tight from the fans he's the calibre of people we need to recruit, if only everyone fulfilled their remit as well as he does. Given how much the Board and the other backers have invested I expect them to get it right after it is their OWN money they're playing with. Whilst they did indeed listen to me regarding the disabled situation they're not going to be knocking on my door for advice on how to run the Club. 😂
  9. I'm not convinced that is indeed the case.
  10. Lawwell was a Dictators Dictator all powerful and answerable to one man. We have a collegiate structure than relies on the MD reporting to a Board and that Board reaching a consensus. Lawwell was virtually autonomous.
  11. I've been banging on about the PR and Communication for years so we're singing from the same hymn sheet in that respect. No Board should be immune from criticism and this is one area where it's absolutely merited. Weir is clearly more intelligent than your average footballer as university degrees are hardly two a penny in that particular sphere but I doubt he's what we need at present.
  12. Pretty sure I recall Martin Bain being described in those very terms numerous times
