Am I right that the last idea proposed at a meeting like this was the living true sportsmanship one and that was pushed through regardless despite being a load of bollocks

He won't be, little is worse. The 2nd goal really annoyed me, there's plenty of goals this season we need to do better on, but mistakes happen, not doing the ****ing basics of switching on immediately after a free kick is given is really disappointing completely unprofessional and there's no excuses for it.

Yes but at least we have a the positives for people to get behind Ok I can’t think of anything right now

Mehmet could have done better but he did well enough to give a defender plenty chance to be first too the ball, instead they stood around like statues

I see this line is once again being used is a club statement. The sentiment behind the pre-derby statement is quite good(basically don’t be dicks) I do take exception to this line tho living “true sportsmanship, championing fairness, respect and community in all that we do” Give me every single unfair advantage we can get. do whatever the **** you need to do to win including if that means folk moan at you, don’t care if that makes you unsportsmanlike, as long as the win is on your side. Respect is good for most of the week, but between the whistles it goes out the window, we’re here to do everything we can to destroy the opponent, their trying to do the same thing, go to war and find out who gets the better, don’t concede anything. Community is also good, but Raith aren’t anything to do with our community it’s our job to try to crush them, as it is every single opponent we face. Send their community home angry and disappointed, it’s what we’re here to do

His positioning is absolutely fine for a knock back. What you are right in saying, and he’s not the only one to blame for it is nobody has given miles a shout and that results in the almost panicked clearance. He’s probably in the best position to make that shout tho.

Wonder what goal keepers people rate at this level? Walton does ok from everything I’ve seen of him but that’s not a lot cos he’s very well protected. Everyone else is more than capable of a few clangers.

He’s not capable of covering the entire 6 yard box without chasing after some balls, nobody is

Every time a ball comes into the 6 yard box keepers should go relentlessly chasing it regardless of how likely they are to get there?

I know there can be frustration by some over mehmet not taking enough crosses but If you think the first is an easy ball for a goalkeeper to claim then I don’t know what to say, it’s an utter nightmare ball.

Formally they hand the club back to pars united, but it’s clear a few prominent figures(including but not exclusive to McArthur) were/are just worn out, that isn’t a criticism btw they gave a lot of time and money even if not directly to the club and we aren’t entitled to anyone’s good will. I believe they being pars fans to there core they’d step in if required but I don’t think that’s a long term solution. What I will say is that I know some were aware of who the pars united directors were and some particularly garmory with the purvis involvement were part of the pre admin regime but largely to the fans as a whole they came out of nowhere, the is the possibility that there’s other fans out there who for whatever reason haven’t been involved so far can step in. Failing that the only option is to fund a fully professional b.o.d from normal revenue which comes with consequences on ability to fund other activities, particularly first team if as I’d assume without the investment we’d either cancel or massively scale back the academy

Can't say for certain on cook but he's been virtually ever present. Meagle was certainly there. Must say my attention on the directors box wasn't as much as it would be had the action on the pitch not be so entertaining. Another notable thing would be our former GM attending in the area normally assigned to guests behind the directors box.

I expected that TBF

I'm main stand loyal 🤪 Want to say, as much as I have heavily criticised the investment group it about there lack of attendance it would have been really easy to dip out of going yesterday in light of the financial results they did show up for a rare appearance, wonder if they put themselves out into the community as well?

Agreed, we've not suddenly turned into a great team, but we have put in enough that we're back to going into every game competitive. It's not just our performances tho, neither rovers or dundee united are handling the pressure at the top well and the good work morton and partick have put in to be in strong play-off positions is beginning to fall away. The division is as always tight as **** and its all about momentum IMO and we're beginning to turn ours into a positive fashion.

Not good unfortunately, as funny as it is.

I think that covers things fairly well, If we had a statement along the lines of ' our revenue was in line with what we expected, first team spending was in relative terms similar to our last spell in league 1 however a planned loss of 1m is recorded in the accounts as DAFC fussball has provided a cash injection of the same figure in order to fund academy and training ground costs.' Then an understanding between fans and board would be quite clear. But we don't have such a statement, we have one which looks to be scrambling for reasons for the loss and that leads to a loss of trust.

Something I'd be curious of how the accounts compared to projections? Did we plan on it being a million pound loss, or did money need to be put in to cover unexpected losses?

It can’t be called in, it has a 5 year period on it after which it is written off if it hasn’t been converted to shares. On the why reason, I’m not quite sure, to me GmbH have kinda lingered on without ever taking on the majority shareholding for some reason, they were apparently going to take a majority shareholding straight away in 2020, then due to Covid this became 30% due to be increased within 2 years, then due to McArthur leaving they didn’t take that option up and we’ve ended up with this agreement where they have a further 5 years to take it up.

This, I have massive concerns over not only the spending but more the seemingly lax attitude towards it. We've been here before where losses are explained away as expected and the BoD apparently have it under control and it nearly ended us, there's an incredible amount of examples across world football where its collapsed under 'it will be ok' promises. There's far fewer examples of clubs who just took the hit for a while and that investment proved worthwhile with both club and owners in a better place.

Lower league play-offs home clubs keep all revenue, premiership play off SPFL takes 50% of revenue.

Big questions to be answered and that statement just creates more.

Didn’t see any of the game, it’s not a terrible point , take care of ourselves over the next 2 we won’t be 9th entering the final quarter but the overall results tonight have bumped us back down a bit both in the table and our overall mood

You've got me going grant. DAFC champions league winners 2027!
