A quick summary of what was discussed at the AGM earlier this evening. All in all quite low key. Business was taken care of and a short Q&A was all undertaken inside around 45 minutes before shareholders were invited to relocate to the boardroom for nibbles. Or bolt down to try to catch the train back to Bargeddieshire... Financial wise much of what was mentioned was already released when the summary of the accounts was issued a few weeks previously with similar language such as a Haley's Comet style scenario where all factors of the business (football and commercial) were near perfect and a with a bit good fortune we recorded probably the club's biggest ever profit. Instilled is a sense this will be far from the norm and a review of the club operation is ongoing with a view to reaching sustainability. The debts it were noted were reduced modestly to JB and LH. An anticipated sum of around £200k is expected to be wiped courtesy of Les extending the double your money scheme. A large amount of the debt is to the WS and it was put that whilst this could be paid back it is in a sense a protection should the worst ever happen and the WS would be the largest creditor with the greatest say in how to proceed. Costs increased on ground expenses such as the scoreboard and Hunter Stand roof. Quotes are out for a replacement PA system. This is increasingly becoming a necessity rather than nicety since the Green Guide issued to clubs raises standards each year. This will cost circa £250k. The protective sheets seen earlier in the season in the South Stand were damaged (ironically) but should be back in place soon. These helped cut cleaning costs and enabled the club to use the POD for visiting supporters but the club are aware of frustrations of POD patrons as regards away fans in that stand and are reconsidering their stance. I was near the back so missed the full line but I gather some kind of netting or equivalent has been purchased to attempt to limit stray shots smashing into weans in the Cooper Stand during the warm up after a further incident at the last home game. Increasing costs like these and the various refurbs and repairs around FP took the conversation on to exploring Ravenscraig as a potential option in the longer term. Alan Burrows answered a question on the frustrations of lack of PATG options and said on occasion the club have tried to assist by sending MFC staff to sell at turnstiles but this was driven by individual clubs. Colt teams were discussed and it was felt in principle it would be a positive move for MFC to have a Colts side in "Division Four" but to run with a set up would be akin to running almost a second club which would be extremely financially challenging and detrimental to the funds required for the first team. There are discussions ongoing to see if loan options can be expanded upon. Stirling was chosen as the "base" for the 20's primarily as it was the closest available grass pitch that the side could play on. It was felt it would also be beneficial for any returning first team player to return to play on grass rather than an artificial surface. Stephen Robinson is actively looking to strengthen and has two or three on his radar but acknowledged people will need to go out. He remains hopeful David Turnbull will sign but again referenced his agent. He believes the offer made stands well when set against others who have played more games at his age or have had greater representative honours. On international matters he insisted the club were delighted at the likes of Campbell and Cadden going away and representing Scotland last summer but acknowledged it has had a knock on effect in terms of tiredness and that players of that age require to be managed. He was frustrated the Cadden appeared on the cusp of recapturing his form of old before suffering injury at Ibrox. On injuries he bemoaned the freak nature of some of the injuries striking down players. Tanner is unlikely to return before the end of the season and the injury that Dunne suffered earlier in the season was apparently one, the physio of some 30 years standing, had never seen before. Carson is at a point he can run again but no timescale has been set for a return. He is happy with Mark Gillespie and Rohan Ferguson as his number two. An interesting point was made about Robinson's choice of words during interviews and the phrase about having too many footballers was put to him as being unhelpful. SR laughed this off firstly by saying it depends on what interview you read. He went to attempt to clarify saying that he required a balanced team of players with technical ability but who could equally do the dirty jobs. He noted how because of our reputation teams have routinely changed formations and tactics to attempt to counter despite as Robinson said we actually have only two players apparently nudging over the six foot mark. And there my scribbles ended...

The bigger picture is we gave up 3 points without lifting a finger. It's totally unprofessional and that lack of professionalism is one of the reasons we've been at the end of the table that we are. I didn't go to Celtic Park expecting a win tonight but I did expect the team to put in more effort than I did walking from Bridgeton station. A no effort performance. A nothing performance. A pointless performance. And I'll say it again Celtic weren't even any good tonight. We rolled over like a trained dog.

Perhaps instead of a season ticket we should just have a bottom 4 ticket. You know, just the important games.

Funnily enough I've been watching a few Bill Shankley videos were he reiterated over and over - play for the fans. Well the fans, paid £28 tonight to see not an iota of energy expended in what was clearly a match written off by the management, based on team selection, and the players, based on performance. And the thing is Celtic were garbage and still went 3-0 despite barely pressuring us in the first half hour or so. Charles Dunne is a player who has won me over despite some obvious weaknesses in his game but his performance was embarrassing tonight. The rest weren't much better. A team that turns it off and on based on whether they feel like it. Won't get relegated is good enough for these guys.

With our second string I see they have had 5 shots at goal. Sometimes you see 27 shots and 1-0. We need to shut up shop. 5-0 and move on. We have huge GD advantage v bottom 3 but will take a dent tonight. Celtic should be beating every team 5-0+ with the financial disparity / gulf.

Not much to say about this one, could be a paddling. Anything but a heavy defeat will do.

+ still in the Scottish Cup. (winky face)

We are 5 points clear of Hamilton and 9 clear of St Mirren and Dundee coming into a run of winnable fixtures. Anyone thinking Stephen Robinson is getting sacked anytime soon needs to have a word with themselves. Never gonna happen.

He is untried at the top league level, so time will tell how he turns out, but if he is being recalled it looks like he has earned his chance to show SR what he has to offer, it's up to him now, best of luck to him.

Three nil, and I would have probably taken that at kick-off, and definitely at half-time. Never happy with a defeat and our style of play is not what I would wish for, but we are where we are and seven points from the next three games is probably the target now.

I'm going to assume your fishing here and just leave it at that.

We're crap. Play an awfull style of hoofball. Nae left back which is a first in my 45 years of watching football. No other team in Britain i'll bet has no left back. We have sandancers in Gorrin and Bigriama in our midfield and duffers like Conner Salmon up front. Ma managerial knife has been out for weeks. Mourinho got sacked for less incompetence. Robinson out.

Give yerself peace. 4 first picks rested, 3 first picks injured. Next 3 are the important games.

The old firm at their homes is now extremely difficult to get anything other than a skelping. Just need to ask a good in form killie team about that. Players have made mistakes tonight, and we've been punished. Which is hardly the fault of the manager, tho the usual suspects who having been posted missing on Sat. will ignore and again put the boot in.

Young Celtic players breaking through have a habit of scoring against us. Two more added to a list that includes Hay, Beattie, Watt, Forrest etc. Really disappointed in Robinson’s approach tonight. I understand the need to rotate but we’ve effectively written off the points against a fragile Celtic under a rare bit of pressure. Shame, as one of Robinson’s refreshing characteristics at the outset was to fear nobody.

Not defending Tom Boyd in the least as I have heard enough from him to know that he is a complete twat, but is half our problem with him deriding our players and club the fact that we see that particular task as a job for our fans?

Greatest come back ever coming up second half? Have we had a shot on goal?

The Motherwell twitter posted a video of us beating Celtic three years ago today. Funnily enough it was Moult and McDonald who created and scored the goals rather than Wes Fletcher and Faddy......

Tom Boyd should never be allowed in the door at Fir Park again a despicable indivual .

That aged well.

I think Cadden for his own sake needs to move on as he’s in a rut at Motherwell, Turnbull would be better staying but if he goes he goes seen it all before ,can’t think of one player who moved from fir park early in recent times and was a success.

Anytime a team needs a result Fir Park seems to be the place they get it enter St Midden
