I agree that the Society doesn't run the club, but it does own the club on behalf of the members i.e. the fans. I don't think folk on here, including myself, want it to get involved with mundane issues like the cost of a bovril or the plumbing in the POD. However, I'd say that a study into the pros and cons of replacing the POD versus moving to a new stadium is of great interest and a summary of the findings should be made public. Now, we don't need to know detailed costings or a line by line account. All we need to know is the conclusions with some basic reasoning behind it. The report was received back in February, about 7 months ago. Surely the Club Board and the Society have got a good grasp of what its recommending and why? If that isn't a major strategic issue then I don't know what is. Finally, the POD seating. There is widespread concern amongst inhabitants of the stand about the seating and Brian Caldwell, under pressure directly from fans, was forced to issue a statement. That was helpful up to a point. However, the Society, as representative of the fans, has, ostensibly, taken no part in the issue apart from passively passing on complaints. We have no idea, despite asking, if the Society has even discussed member concerns, let alone expressed them to Brian. The Society has been great for the club and lets not forget it has saved it and I'm a firm supporter, but it isn't above criticism.

Oooooo you are awful.........but I like you Now shut that door! 🤪🤪

Cmon now. We have just finished a two month run of two games a week traveling all over Europe. In the process playing some outstanding football. Nearly a with a new team and new manager. Lost once in the league yesterday to a team with a massive budget and away from home . The team is knackerd Your concerrened ? Good grief some people are hard to please.😂 The team is doing exceptionally well and the way we are playing is so enjoyable it's unreal. We have signed well and sold well . Full houses at Fir Park, Enjoy it while it's happening .

Bloody hell it's started. Calm down a wee bit. Beat at ibrox 1-0 and everyone is hopeless. Cmon let's be sensible here

There is always constructive points that need to be raised that may sound negative about specific factors. A bit like Grizzly I stay on the positive side of things and I've raised hundreds of positive comments before. I'd like to raise a couple of points - that I think went wrong yesterday. I believe after the St Mirren game - and the managers emphasis after the game about chasing goals led to us pulling back a bit yesterday on risk appetite. Playing out of the back is fine when you break the ball to Watt (last season) or Priestman to then push it forward to the next line of attack. There is far less point in it when you break the press and don't get it moving forward quickly enough. We can play 30+ perfect passes to face 8 v 10 in the opposition box. The reward is to break the press and use our pace otherwise we hold onto possession as a relief but our likelihood of getting chances is far less great. This was a big fault yesterday. I think the forum allows especially after a defeat to analyse what I think we can do better.

Excellent post. Most on here talking sense ( unlike Facebook....jeez!!!) Considering we had 6 European games and this is our first league defeat in 5 its been an encouraging start. Also remember AJ has 11 new players and a horrendous injury list to deal with and hardly any proper training sessions. We now have a 10 day break to work on training ground and then start to establish what best line up is but loads of options off bench. RCC and Sparrow main fall guys yesterday. I've never been fully impressed with RCC but still very important part of squad. Sparrow unlucky as had to fill in a position which isn't his main one but with plauers coming back he can play further forward. Said has went off boil a bit but we know will bounce back and JT just needs to knuckle down and work away. I would really like to see Longelo and Williams on left side, they could interchange and that would be huge asset. Final point is remember where we were 18 months ago. The phrase "night and day" springs to mind. COYW

I think a lot of the disappointment also shows how far we have progressed in past 18 months. Any trip to ibrox always filled me with dread but we have win 3 times there in past 18 months and we don't go to park the bus. We didnt play well yesterday but all teams have off days. I am still very upbeat about this season and strength of bench shows you that competition for places is fierce. You don't perform and you are on bench next game

Cheers Spike ! 🤣🤣

I must admit I was disappointed with yesterday result, but I have to put it in context of where we are just now with effectively a new manager and a new team, having as others have said travelled across Europe, been put out by the team sitting 2nd in the German top tier who sold 3 players for £120m to our 3 players for £9m, started the SPL with just 1 defeat more points than last season at this point and to a team admittedly not playing well, but having spent well over £30m in transfer fees and at home in front of the knuckle dragger fans. We have to remember that the season in long and we have started well, we have 10 days now for injuries to ease, players to re charge and AJ finally a chance to bed in his ideas and come back with a fresh impetus. I agree JT is no No9, Thor cannot be judged on 25 minutes of football after an injury, I think with AJ style he could flourish in the middle with Palmer and Tom Sparrow gives his all wherever he’s asked to play, yes JK is my preferred RB but he’s injured…again, and it’s a fact fir me we miss Oscars energy in midfield although Hodge n Lowry have been good, so on overview we have for our wonderful wee team a great squad of talent that I’m sure we will mostly agree is the best for decades that I feel will do well this year. We could be like Killie with McCann at the helm shipping goals for fun but no, we score more goals in our first 4 games than we have since the 1920’s. We need to be calm and be realistic with expectations, AJ and the team will do well this year just give them a chance, we ain’t going to win the league it looks like the horrid Selic will, but let’s win our own league within the league. Let’s see what a break does for the team and hopefully come back n pump Robbo’s sheep!

Yup, part of the paw paw and prickly pear family 🤪

I been waiting all day to see what folk have been saying and its embarssing to say the least.The toxic levels on social media some of things being said today these people are beyond having a word with themselves. We have lost one game of league football i repeat one game of league football,got put out of Europe by the joint leaders of the Bundesliga and got put out of the cup by top club in the Championship unbeaten so far this season!(not that i think thats a good thing btw but it is what it is). We are not the same as last season people need to let it the fek go its progress we are still progressing.

The problem is some of our fans are believing the hype. Against Dundee United we played well but we were against 10 men for 75 minutes. To listen to the media and some of our fans you'd think we were world beaters and we weren't, just as today we were poor but we weren't as bad as some are making out. We are 3 points better off after same games as last year. . It also took us until 25/10/2025 to win two league games. We also lost to Falkirk at home in round 8 and the second half performance in that game was worse than today. So lets take a deep breath of reality.

Changed days. 59% possession at Ibrox and getting beat by a single goal is regarded as a really poor performance. Not meant as a slight on the comments from anyone but rather a reflection on how far we have progressed that this is how we view today’s game. just wait till AJ gets them all sorted out and they come to Fir Park.

All anybody needs to know is that the premiership is set up and constituted to suit and pander to the needs of the ugly sisters, the other 10 teams dont matter. Change only happens if they both want it, or teams like Aberdeen vote with them.

I would be delighted and I am sure the vast majority of non arse cheek fans would as well if the two of them left to form a two team league. Unlikely to happen , but a good thought nevertheless.

And its true.
