When Tim's only comeback to ACL's latest manoeuvre is to complain about financial details being leaked to the press, when this whole administration move came as a direct result of him threatening liquidation in a national newspaper, you have to wonder if we're still dealing with a master...

Tim Fisher, today: Tim Fisher, five days ago, to The Guardian Worryingly desperate from Tim.

My word, you're hysterical. I sincerely hope we can remind you about this post for years to come, this is a meltdown of epic proportions.

It's almost as if the owners have been in some way perceived to be untrustworthy...

Grow up. From the moment SISU decided to play chicken with the rent strike, this was inevitable. I want the rent negotiated down as much as anyone, but the brinkmanship has unfortunately backfired in a big way, and everyone saw it coming.

I know this might sound completely mental, but it is possible to have a good day at the office and still be worried about the overall state of your employer. To claim there's no impact on the players is ludicrous (frankly I'd be more worried if they were so insulated from reality that they...

Funny. I was barely a teenager at the time, but I remember the whole West Terrace holding up posters calling for Richardson and Robinson to go. Even the bloke doing the halftime penalty competition had one.

You don't?

Equating SISU with CCFC suggests that you believe a club's owners always act in the best interests of the football club. Still, at least it sounds like you'll still have someone to support if CCFC goes under (I don't have that luxury). Look, it's obvious that there needs to be negotiations...

Looks like a debate on the stadium situation's been called in parliament for Tuesday - only half an hour, so doubt they'll cover much ground though! http://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/offices/commons/speakers-office/wadjourns1/

A few of the reactions I got from some Scottish friends of mine on another board I'm on (none are Falkirk fans): "Off the top of my head, before Pressley, in Scotland alone, I'd have: Butcher, Shiels, McCall, Adams and Lennon, before I'd go for Pressley. All of them have achieved far more"...

Not quite sure what dear old Kevin has done to find himself in the Catch-22 of having people criticize him for not playing games, which therefore apparently disqualifies him from playing games.

More important than the prestige of the JPT is that we might FINALLY have a moment where we can galvanize the fans and the city around a successful team. Even if the tournament isn't worth anything to other teams, those are the moments that give a team winning momentum, and energise the fans...

Fair play to you mate, but I can't believe it's easier to take a day off work and queue up in sub-zero temperatures for hours than it is to get the online ticket system working! Glad you got one anyway.

Nah, I'm not bitter. My only worry is that as someone who can't queue up outside the Ricoh, I don't want the fans who happen to be able to do that to get preferential treatment, just like I wouldn't expect me to get priority online. As ferret explains, it's a complicated situation, which is why...

Have you thought about the people whose computer systems are down AND can't afford to queue up outside the Ricoh for two hours? Maybe we should reserve a few hundred tickets for them too.

Why should they be rewarded for buying tickets in the most inefficient way imaginable? Just because they inexplicably decide that buying tickets should take two hours instead of two minutes doesn't make them more dedicated, it makes them a bit weird.

No, my argument is that everyone deserves an equal shot at getting tickets. Reserving tickets for people online would be just as ridiculous.

Why are they holding tickets for people who are queuing? Are they somehow more worthy because they can't work a computer and don't have jobs to go to?
