Cet Homme Charmant

If you live abroad and haven't done so already, I highly recommend purchasing this live match streaming subscription. It's a no-frills service without commentary, but streaming quality is generally pretty good and it's more-or-less glitch free. Not as good as actually being at the game of course, but it's the next best thing.

We're paying the price now for 20 years of neglect under the Raes. If they hadn't spunked away stupid money on jobbers and spent just some of it in maintaining and moderinsing the ground instead, we wouldn't be having this discussion now. And it would have left Dougie with the legacy he always craved for to boot.

Indeed, asking fans every summer to give the old place a lick of paint and clean seagull shite off the seats won't cut the mustard for much longer. Serious investment in the stadium and its infrastructure is going to be needed in the next few years, and we can only hope and assume plans are being put together to finance this. The lack of communication on such plans for futureproofing the stadium is however concerning.

Ach that's shite news, He couldn't have been that old, early to mid 60s or something like that

That's undoubtedly true, but a lot of Dunfermline fans do have a delusions of grandeur.

I was wondering if any other overseas fans have had problems paying for the livestream subscription? PayPal is the only payment option, but despite multiple attempts to pay with this method it kept getting rejected without any explanation. No idea why as I've used PayPal for all previous streaming payments. Luckily I was given a one-off access code to get yesterday's match, so many thanks to Gareth for arranging that at short notice. Hopefully next week I can pay by another method, but I was wondering anyone else had issues with the PayPal payment. I used it last week for other purchases without a problem, so it's a bit annoying.

Full and half-season subscriptions now available for interested fans living outside UK and Ireland... Passes – GMFC TV

In fact I just got a reply from Gareth confirming that the season subscription will be available later today.

Yeah I've already emailed the club. I think it was 150 quid last season as well. Normally for the league games with a Saturday 3pm KO they can only offer the live stream to subscription holders outside UK and Ireland.

Indeed, I had a streaming subscription the last two seasons so I assume there will be the same on offer this season. You would have thought though that existing subscribers would have been contacted by now with a renewal offer, rather than having to chase them up about it.

Have any other overseas fans heard if they intend to have a subscription for live match streaming this season? Sent a mail to the club and am awaiting a reply, but was wondering if there had already been a communication about it and I missed it. Ta much!

I actually caught some of the big-spending Raith game yesterday, and they were dreadful. Which in normal circumstances would be nice, except for the fact it was against Airdrie

Defining who the 'best' candidate is is so subjective, that's an impossible question to answer. I see that regularly as part of an interview panel, where the opinions on candidates can often be diametrically opposed. It's actually quite rare to get a consensus.

No. I would hope and expect there are many other KPIs, e.g., increasing revenue streams.

Just because you don't see any evidence of executive review of the GMs performance, it doesn't mean it isn't happening. In fact, I'd be astonished if there isn't a regular review, although I agree that did indeed seem to be the case under the Rae's tenure. If there are indeed regular reviews by the board of the GM's performance, then of course they will not make any conclusions from that public. But if there are no such reviews, than I agree, that's amateurish and tin-pot.
