Gutting result. Kinda feels like our fate is now sealed and the rest of the season will be a waste of time, with home attendances dwindling even further.

We’re not a Kelty based club, but we are a Glasgow club instead now!

That’s what I had in mind RM and 2 others actually). It generated a cash sum that I’m sure dwarfs the various fees incurred in submitting the application. Regarding the concerts, we know that we rented the stadium out. No sums ever mentioned but I would guess at a good 5 figure sum. We also provided services to the concert company for providing staff and selling tickets etc, which I’m sure would have been at no less than cost, and probably a margin built in. So even though both projects could be deemed disastrous and regrettable for various reasons, it appears to me that the both generated money for the club. Sorry if that’s not what people want to hear!

I don’t think we were, were we? Anyway, as a reminder, ICTFC made money from both the concerts and the battery farm, even though both projects can be considered failures overall.

It sounds a bit unlikely to me, but worth exploring I suppose given that the worst that happens is that we stay as we are. We either get a bit of extra income or we don’t, we can’t lose money on it.

Makwanageddon!

Investing in another Scottish club would certainly explain the conflict of interest point that was mentioned last week.

We all knew about the 15 point deduction, but what I didn’t know until today is that it seems we will also start next season with a 5 point deduction.

So our trio of new signings - Stephen, Cohen and Crooks - what positions do they play?

With the Administrators now in place, we all need to prepare ourselves for more bad news and unpopular or unpalatable decisions.

A condition known as premature administration!

Directors need to have done really bad stuff, eg clearly fraudulent and/or illegal, to get an adverse report. Being weak or incompetent isn’t enough for issues to be raised.

I don’t think much of Ferguson in terms of tactics or getting the best performances out of the team, but he has conducted himself very well and made sacrifices to help the club when faced with the financial crisis this season, so best wishes to him when he goes.

Rooney has now been released by St Mirren, after being with charged with assaulting a woman in a takeaway.

My understanding of this notice is that it protects the club from creditors and legal actions between now and the administrator being appointed. It also looks like Ross Morrison, as floating charge holder, has to either consent to the appointment of the administrator or be given at least 5 workings days’ notice before an administrator gets appointed so that he has opportunity to choose his own administrators.

I guess this match could be the last time we ever see a lot of our players and management team?

That’s my reading of it too. Satisfaction was in respect of a floating to charge to RBS created in 2016, but we haven’t owed banks anything for years as far as we are aware, and also, Morrison would not have been able to get his own floating charge if there was already a valid floating charge in place to somebody else. Looks like an admin tidy up to remove a potential complication that might slow down the administration process.

Great, looking forward to seeing a well supported front two!

Head office is arguably better than Makanwa’s! 😛

This bit was particularly interesting. You can actually feel the seethe! “He responded with a lengthy statement that was written in red and drifted into block capitals.”

The way that article comes across to me, it’s as if Gardiner issued a statement to the journalist making the points he wants to make, the journalist then added some background info to pad it out, and SG then had final sign of off what was being said, to ensure there was nothing critical of him. There’s certainly no evidence of any critical/questioning journalism taking place.

All seems corrected now, 5-4 on pens after Robbie Thompson’s was saved. Had a feeling it might be our day after we found the net not once but twice during a game, but sadly not,

Trying to follow this from a beach in Mexico. We seem to have lost the shootout, after having won the match 4-3!

“we travel to Almondvale (Set Fare Arena)” “Home of the Set Fare Arena” to be precise. Livi are constantly raising the bar when it comes to terrible stadium sponsorship naming deals.
