Savage Gardiner?

There are problems and concerns, but come on, you seem to have forgotten that only last season we beat 2 Premiership sides on our way to the final where we put in a very competitive performance against Celtic.

Brilliant strike from Doran by the way. Shame it didn’t really count for anything, it was a goal that deserved to win a match.

Sportscene tonight said that he has a broken hand.

Billy Dodds is available. So is Derek Adams. Spoilt for choice!

When the player’s dad had travelled up to see him?!

Well the cash inflow to the club is over £1m and the amount they risked on the planning application, don’t know but I would guess to be in the tens of thousands and at worst still a small proportion of the cash gain. That is a low risk, high reward project, and I don’t see how it realistically risked the club’s existence. Criticise them all you want on other matters, it’s justified, but on this particular one surely even you can put your grievances aside and acknowledge that it’s a rather miraculous rabbit out of a hat!

Ah yes, the magic of the cup.

A forum member questioned why it had been allowed to remain. Some other, more insulting comments were removed from the thread at the same time. As a reminder, criticism is absolutely fine but personal abuse is against site rules.

Based on the highlights I thought Hibs were better than Celtic last night.

You’ve made quite a few interesting and informative contributions on this subject, which I appreciate and I’m sure others do too. I’m curious though - is it the case that you didn't want this application to succeed?

The only success he can point to is being above a team that has taken 3 points from a possible 54!

I wonder how long (in seconds) it took Billy Dodds to get his CV in?

Hope so. This deal seemingly clears the debt and puts some cash in the bank but I’m pretty sure we are still losing money on a daily basis and that will probably remain the case until we get back in the Premiership or go part time.

This would seem to be one of the biggest days in our history in terms of off the field activities. After all the negativity, criticism and derision on this thread, I think there should be some recognition of the achievement of the club and its partners to have firstly conceived this remarkable high benefit, low risk deal, and then to push it through and overcome the considerable planning permission challenges. Morrison and Gardner have played an absolute blinder here, haven’t they?

Coming soon from Charles Bannerman. Against All Odds 2 - the birth of ICT Battery Storage Ltd!

The highlights show that we played some stuff and it’s a surprise that we failed to score. As for the goal we conceded, defenders just standing back and letting him get all the space he needs to take a touch and pick his spot, oh dear.

For comparison Dodds in the Championship averaged 1.5 points per game, Ferguson is on 1.35.

Home games against the bottom 2 sides: P3 L3

17 shots to 4 but 0-1 FT. Awful result.

I’m feeling very confident about this. We never win when I feel this confident.

If he had spare cash at the time and decided to donate it to bail out the concert company, I suspect that the vast majority of that money would have gone to the multimillionaire artists and not to local businesses. And then he would not have had the money to inject into ICT and keep us afloat.

I think that’s a fair summary except on point 6. Morrison has a charge over ALL of the club’s assets, not just the shares in the battery company. So if those shares are worthless he’d still be owed his money and the likelihood is that the club would have no realistic means to pay him back for the foreseeable future.
