  1. Storm in a tea cup, but there are people out there who will take offence at this sort of thing and as a family club, the board need to be seen to be responding accordingly.
  2. A few people getting their knickers in a twist here based on the mistaken belief that we expect to get Buckie's captain for free. What Robertson says is that we won't be paying "a substantial fee", implying that we would be happy to pay a modest fee - what that means in monetary terms I have no idea. No doubt we will want to get him on the cheap because we can't afford otherwise, but it seems wrong to criticise ICT for expecting him to be free. Meanwhile, Buckie's manager comes out with the rather ridiculous statement that they need a big fee because they'll have to sign 3 players to replace him. It would be better for all if the transfer fee negotiations took place in private.
  3. £10
  4. Is the apparent inability of OWF and Raven to find new clubs starting to get seriouly concerning? I suspect that between them they are costing us around 5 grand a week, and the cumulative amount since they were advised to find new clubs has already used up the resources to fund 1 "normal" player for a full season.
  5. Wee hiccup or two writing our striker's name on the team sheet!
  6. Hopefully the only hat trick he gets is his 3rd consecutive relegation.
  7. Looks like we are effectively out of this tournament already. Looking at the other tables it's hard to see how we could end up as one of the best runners up - even assuming we manage 2nd place.
  8. Unfortunately all of Polworth's were crammed into 2015/16.
  9. Our unbeaten start continues. In fact under Robbo, including the end of his first spell with us, we are unbeaten in our last 5!
  10. We use the small-ads section of local newspapers. "Desperately Seeking Zschusschen......."
  11. An update on The Lionel King, the legendary Djebi-Zadi. Here he is playing in the Champions League earlier this year. African CL, qualifying round. Now 35, he is still playing in Reunion, for St Louisienne.
  12. 3-0 is very much at the upper end of my pre-match expectations. Good start to the season and a big improvement on the Elgin performance.
  13. "Absolute disgrace ref - these ****s only drink it by the half bottle!"
  14. It can actually happen if the user is very careless. When you log in to your Companies House account to make any changes, you see a list of directors and against each name is a "Remove" button. Click! (I think there is then an "Are you sure...." validation step) The other type of "mistake" that can happen is that the person who does the club's Companies House filings was genuinely under the impression that Finlayson was no longer a director....
  15. What happened is that the club submitted a termination form for him, and then contacted Companies House to retract it. So for a number of weeks, he was not listed as a director. If he stood down and was reappointed, separate forms should have been submitted accordingly. But assuming the club did things properly, it looks very much like they had submitted his termination form by accident, no doubt when doing Kenny Cameron's one on the same day.
  16. Can I ask our resident player name pronunciation expert how "Zschusschen" should sound?!
  17. It could be any of the things you mention (apart from getting rid of the puddle!) or it could be nothing. It is very common even for companies with no immediate fundraising plans to pass these resolutions so that the board can, if they ever need or want to, allot shares and raise money quickly and easily.
  18. I'd be pretty sure OFW's wage has already been excluded from the budget so there's no additional money when he goes.
  19. There's already roughly a £200,000 difference between keeping and selling Draper - what's that, about a fifth or a quarter of our entire wage budget for the season? Easy to see why we might sell him and bring in several additional players, but hard to imagine that any of them could be of the same calibre and influence as the one we'd be losing.
  20. It all has a ring of familiarity and inevitability.
  21. But wouldn't it be better if we could stop going on about the poor guy's uncle!
  22. Impressive gobbing technique, gets far more power and volume than most players at Championship level can muster. Great to see it in slo-mo.
  23. Like Boden did this time last year
  24. Scott Boden is due to be unveiled by Wrexham today. Amusingly, their Red Passion fans forum has some less than complementary quotes about him lifted from this site!
  25. Asked whether County will submit an improved offer for Draper, McIntyre said "Wait and see" so this might not be over.
