Gallagher, Moult and Watt featuring for Dundee United who are currently 3 0 down. Big Declan just sold a goal.

Absolutely. As a fan owned club, its not unreasonable for members to be told if we have a CEO and if so, who it is.

It appears that Jon Obika is injured. No idea if it's just a minor knock or something more serious.

Will they even bother? Given their track record, they may just approach the person in question or their agent directly.

I agree with what you say Denny. I emailed the Society on Sunday to query why the bucket collection was in support of the Community Trust and not the Society. The answer I received was that the theme of the day is that MFC is a club for everyone and the Society wanted to help celebrate the great work that the Community Trust does, and to encourage its members to think of donating to them (the Trust) as a local charity. The Society hopes to get lots of people signed up, or rejoining on the day, which will be worth more to it in the long run than a one off collection. Now, thats laudable in principle, but to me, is contradictory to what is happening right now in terms of working up an investment proposal. I don't undertand how getting more fans to sign up or rejoin on the day is mutually exclusive with a bucket collection in aid of the Society. Lets be clear, a bucket collection on its own will not make a huge difference financially. The impression that I have, maybe wrongly in fairness, is that the club needs an injection of significant investment by October. That news alarmed me and possibly many others. Many of us want the Society to plug any hole with its its own proposal, which it is working up as I type. Given this situation, many members, like me, have restarted monthly subs or increased them and quite a few new members have joined this call to arms, specifically to help it financially. At this time, the Society cannot afford to ignore any potential source of cash, however modest. I believe that every penny counts just now. I just find it odd that the Society will be raising funds for a sister organisation at this particular time, when it is in need itself.

Something very fishy about the way Aberdeen is conducting business. Its convenient that Neil Warnock "resigned" just as They were concluding negotiations.

I believe part of the reason for the low turnout in the recent Society vote was out of date contact information (now the subject of this updating exercise) and emails going into spam folders etc. More to it than that of course,but please check your details folks.

There's a good chance that they'll have a new man in charge for next Saturday. I just hope they treat Lennon Miller with more respect than they did at Fir Psrk last time out

Just received a Society email this morning. I'm glad to hear that we're having a Society event on the day of the St Mirren game. Strike while the iron is hot as they say. There will be a bucket collection but it's being undertaken by the Society on behalf of the Community Trust. Now I may be in a minority of one here, but although I support the Trust 100%, surely on this particular occasion it should be to boost the coffers of the Society itself? Especially so, given financial concerns articulated at the Club AGM and the need to back a Society proposal with hard cash.

A true modern day miracle, to emulate Lazarus who was raised from the dead after 4 days.

Apparently he was seen training after being out for 4 days. 🤣

£750K?

Not worth a thread on its own but we're playing Ayr United today in a bounce game to keep us ticking over.

Big changes over the summer I think. I'd say that Devine, Vale and Gent will all move on. Shaw should be allowed to return to his parent club. I'd keep O'Donnell and Mugabi as backs ups; Of the others, I'd try to keep McGinn. Nicholson looks to be a player if we can get him fit. Elliot - who knows. Ferrie - not shown up much so far? Spittal is a lost cause, as he'll move on. Can we keep Bair and Miller - maybe one but not both. Slattery is a real frustration as there's a good player in there but he's stalled and now injured of course. Help him to recover and then move on. . I'd like to see a bit more of Nicholson and something of Elliot and Ebileye in the coming games.

It'll be all over the Scottish media shortly.............not. That would undermine Clement's post match comments and that just won't do.

Enough of the biblical banter folks, and I include myself in that rermark! Back to serious discussion. An unexpected odd but interesting signing. I wonder iof this is where the Obileye PCA rumour originated? As Melvin says, I hope so. In te short term it'll give us more srtiking options. He's 6-1, so no wallflower I assume. If rumours are to be beleived he's a bit of a poacher; a type of player we don't have on the books. A deal until summer next year will give us an chance to fully assess him. If he's been with us for a few weeks, I assume that we know a little about him.

Hope he's not a basket case.

The source of the Livingston Obileye PCA rumour? A simple mix up?

Not quite sure why they signed him Ally. They will not finish 3rd. Maybe 4th spot is the holy grail for them? A costly venture for Mr Bowie.

The panel should comprise 2 ex players from each side.

Thanks to Philip and Jay yesterday. I attended the morning Zoom meeting. Its fair to say that the Society had stagnated in recent years. It seems the recent elections have rejuvenated the Board and there's now a wind of change. blowing. I have new found confidence that the Society Board can come up with a workable proposal but it will need members' backing and assistance.

Yes, his great grandfather, I think, hailed frrom Coaltown of Balgonie. He's already been picked up by Canada though.

Yes, I'd offer him an extra year. I doubt if he'd accept 2. No doubt the predators have already been alerted. My kind of player. Skillful, fast but physical enough to hold his own against big defenders. Not in any way dirty. He's certainly won over the fans and rightly so.

An ex work colleague of mine from Fife caused some angst and confusion when he applied for a job with a Local Authority in the west of Scotland. Before deciding which colour of application form to send him they asked him the obligatory question of which school he attended. His reply was St Andrews High School (which is in Kirkcaldy). Hilarious! Not really football related, although he did play for East Fife, but funny nonetheless.

By way of context, Dunfermline recently announced an annual loss of £1m, largely covering the period they were languishing in League 1. Ross County has just announced a loss of £580K - to be made good by Uncle Roy's company.
