Needed him on last night for the 2nd half. No idea if he's injured or otherwise but only real creative player we have, surround him with the other guys and let him get some space to at least pass or try turn a man. Sad end if he is away that a club servant of this duration never even got a run out in the last game and not accepting he couldn't have been on instead of Woods. Probably see him at Elgin or HL next year.

The yoyo on this thread based on the last month is hilarious. Dodds is a fraud, his tactics for 2 seasons are basic, we are tepid and negative with a long ball to short guys in desperation. Successive mid season collapses with excuses every time and dressing room issues. Injuries has been this years get out, but the line ups changed yet we never changed tactics or shape to compensate. Over the next few wks I expect apathy to reduce and fans reflect with the golden egg of a cup final being enough to appease so this lame duck gets another season or more.

Tepid, slow, negative especially in the first half. Sums up our season,followed by desperation of hoof (Dodds) ball. The irony hooking Devine to continue playing high balls into a box with Billy & Samuels when we could have at least trued Danny up there for target. Few guy around me getting proper worked up about Harper never pushing on and playing back.......can't blame the guy for playing the strategy put in place by the manager.

Assuming we reach the play-off final as well, then I'm assuming that the 2.5 hour reduction in recovery time is taken into account?

Hardly knee jerk or sacking. It would he non contract renewal based on 2 seasons or inconsistent and at times rudderless performances. If giving someone the full duration of a 2 year contract before parting ways is seen as reactionary then how long and on what metric do you let managers continue?

Celtic request running scared of the Caley and our SC history............all the rest is just a smokescreen

Least that's half the debt gone and when we win the SC with our fine manager at the helm, that £3m minimum from our Euro tour plus the battery farm project spearheaded by our high integrity board, we will almost overnight become the 'ballers' of Scottish football.

Great short sighted viewing, what about the form in our other 32 games, including successive mid season collapses? Point of note, McGlynn isn't in this league for good reason but its a pretty low bar to use as a standard given he has a career of being mediocre and achieving nothing noteworthy with any team.

Explain your working behind that please?

Surprised the amount of spin didnt make everyone dizzy

Not illegal, but morally & ethically questionable. I'm assuming the general lack of response to this by fans suggests so long as the club extracted the cash before the company went tits up, its all good and **** everyone else. Really wonder if these are the sort of people I consider as being the heart of a community club and whether they actually care about the community at all. Hardly behaviour that will have fans flocking through the doors when they have links to local companies screwed over by this, not sure who is in charge of club PR but this isnt a good look. Lucky they set up a separate company (still involving some of those directly associated with the club), managed to accrue some profits and find a legal way to extract it back to the club, which can therefore indirectly pay for business costs such as salaries/invoices (potentially) associated with those who may have been involved in the separate company. Win-win. Nice.

Maybe for some, but I strongly disagree. While I have no desire for Dodds to continue beyond his current contract, that does not mean I don't consider and expect us to win. While it will be a tough game and maybe being favourites is an unusual position during this cup run, lets not forget that we are in good form and that Falkirk are a division below for a reason and have players at that level. Dodds needs to get his tactics right and line-up to our strengths based on availability, however motivation should be easy as for many of these players this might be their only chance of getting to a national cup final. This is our final IMO, when we get there its just a free hit and hope we dont get embarrassed on the day, but first its tie to show why Falkirk are a division below us.

Final countdown now. Anyone planing on asking anything remotely controversial or challenging towards the board?

Agreed, but while its much more positive now and good feelings are out there, it shouldn't detract from the fact this season has been a failure and a shambles both on and off park. Even if we get successful outcomes in the remaining games, there still requires serious questions regarding both financial stability/management and how the club has presided over a manager who on successive seasons has perpetuated horrific mid-season collapses which ultimately have cost us winning the title.

Timing is looking even more inspired and should see the board given an easier time unfortunately.

Wonder if this poll was started now, or even end of next wk whether the outcome would be the same. Personally, I've not changed my position but I feel there will probably be much closer vote as some fans will see the upturn and good feeling around as being enough justification to wipe the soul-less mid-season from memory.

DoF missing, assuming there was a game in Dingwall

Clever timing, couple of days before a big cup semi & Hampden visit. Anyone would think they will be trying to big up the positives in that to blindside fans regarding the matters around the finances and running of the club. Surprised they never left it til the Friday night hoping fans will already be in transit. Least its scheduled, lets hope someone will now ask the tough questions and challenge the undoubted spin that will come out.

Do I think he should get another deal - No Do I think he will - 7/10 (using the apathy monitoring approach)

It's stated as a must requirement from companies house, however im not a legal expert, but the below suggests there are implications if companies shirk their responsibility. Perhaps this is outdated and the power lies with the organisation to decide what they do. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/46/part/13/chapter/4/2009-11-06?view=plain

No offence to anyone, but to those who represent parties has anyone gone to the club or made direct contact (not via email) and requested a meeting with any of the board members face to face to ask this question? Like many organisations those in charge will focus on matters that they prioritise and in the case of the club, this is not the only business interest of some. Alternatively a formal letter requesting an AGM using the details outlined by various individuals citing the legal requirements sent to the club (director) in a signed-for and recorded capacity with a realistic deadline for response or engagement - after which actions can be taken. While contact via email is traceable its easily lost in the myriad of electronic communications and in many organisations (not saying this is the ICT case) its PA's or assistants who filter the mailbox of the senior positions, therefore act based on the priorities and instructions given. I am in no way a defender of the club or the board as its clear they are avoiding their legal obligations and it can be reported to Companies House. Apologies if those from supporters groups or outspoken individuals have already exhausted avenues for contact, in which case escalation seems a practical option to force the issue. Otherwise there needs a united approach from all stakeholders to press harder in a manner that allows accountability.

Post grievances on the internet, isn't that the solution to all 21st century problems?

Alanis Morisette - Ironic

Boyz II Men - End of the Road Cast - Walk Away

That could be read as criticism of SG and those in charge of the club. Watch out as the 'fanboys' will not be happy.
