Anyone know who took that picture? It's brilliant.

A lot of Thistle fans will be disappointed to learn that we are providing assistance to a team representing an oppressive, racist state.
I stand by anyone who protests against it and if you can't understand why, I know who I consider a moron. Disgusted at the club.

SPFL board member and Dunfermline chairman. Fucking hates Thistle apparently.
Thanks for that.
Just saw the whatspp messages posted on Twitter and wondered where he fitted in.

Who is Ross McArthur?
And why was he 'threatening' people ?

I'd be surprised if our sixth tier was stronger than San Marinos.
I used to watch Serie D football regularly in Italy. That's about Tier 6 and probably on a par with West League 1 I'd say.

No guarantee we would bounce back. Hibs, Dundee Utd recently. St.Mirren? I'd much prefer to keep our top flight status than win a cup, if that was the option.I don't usually post here (happy lurker) so forgive me butting-in but.....
My old Dad was born in 1921,watched Thistle all his.life. I was born in 1953 and started going to Firhill when I was about 6-7. The only trophy Thistle have won in both our lifetimes was on 23rd of October 1971 - the day I got married, so we both missed it. He died a few years ago, never saw us lift a major trophy. I'm 64, so I'm getting worried.
I get what you're saying HM, But for me I'm pretty sure a big cup win would be one of the greatest days in my life.

Got the drinks in
Don't mind saying that this game can't come soon enough for me.I know you're enjoying noising everybody on here up a bit - can't say I blame you really, your boys have taken a helluva beating of late.
But a serious question.
I've noticed a definite split in the TFKAR ranks in recent times - on the one hand there's the die hard FTP knuckledraggers, showing all the arrogance and triumphalism of old, letting everyone know how much they're going to enjoy getting it right up every one of their 'enemies'
On the other hand, some are taking the line of 'let's enjoy the journey through the divisions and make some new friends along the way'. I've even noticed it on RM - there was a thread today by some lunatic imploring everyone to belt out TBB for the entire 90 minutes of the Brechin game. He was shouted down pretty quickly by the more level headed.
Putting aside the banter on here, most of us will know decent fans of your team (although some will be reluctant to admit it). I've always thought the less bigoted fans needed to stand-up and be a bit more vocal in decrying the more anti-social element.
Do you think this is more likely to happen now?.

Anyone outside of the U.K. able to get Radio Scotland online?
I usually can but it's giving me the auld "for contractural reasons.." guff.
Think it's because of the Olympics - BBC radio subject to extra territorial restrictions.
I know you can do it using a proxy server (used to live abroad). Not techy enough to give you instructions, but it's pretty straightforward.
Google is your friend

Last week I was heading for the juniors next season but after that last statement I might become a Clyde supporter.

Right now I'm absolutely sickened by what's going on.
I'm 59 years old, I've attended Firhill since I was about 5. My father & grandfather followed the Jags. My grandmother, my mother and her sister, and my next door neighbour all worked at Firhill. Thistle have been in my blood since I first knew what football was but it's over I think.
I'm not particularly proud of how the Thistle BOD have behaved throughout all of this, but that's not wha'ts done it. I just can't stomach what's being put together here.
It'll be the juniors for me next season. I love the sport, but the "business" has totally ruined it all for me and I can't see any way of fixing it.
A sad day indeed.

. 'The Rangers' should be begging for the rest of Scottish football to give them a second chance, like an ex that has cheated on their partner.
That's a wonderful and very accurate analogy. Have a greenie

For every SFL club that stands firm against this outrageous SPL bullying, I'm gonna buy a bit of their merchandise. Won't be much - a hat, a mug, a scarf - but if everyone who is opposed to this nonsense does the same, it might make a bit of difference.
Plus of course I'll take in a game at their ground. Kind of like a reverse boycott. Groundhopping with honour. Could be fun.
Nice idea.
I don't really need that many scarves, but I do quite like the idea of a collection of good-guy mugs.
Might make a start on that one

I know but we've nothing else to amuse us at the moment except spin and bull. Might go and fill in the Scotsman fan survey again.
Any amusement at the rumours going around that a 'deal' has been done for Greenco to make their appearance in SFL1 after consultation with Sky?
FF is full of it at the moment. Worst of all possible worlds I'd say......

Don't know if anyone's seen it yet, but there's a rapidly growing thread on RM about a McCoist/Smith fronted bid being put together to approach Green. Finance coming from Kennedy or the Blue Knights.

From the SFAs standpoint the fact they said they thought about explosion seriously but considered it too harsh might allow an argument that it's still too harsh.
Sometimes you've just got to love auto-correct

Snip...........
Despite all this "plastic paddy" branded at our fans, i can honestly say i've yet to meet a scotsman who considers himself Irish first. I'm not saying they don't exist. but i've never crossed paths with these individuals
Enrico, I enjoy your contributions to this thread (not to mention your excellent avatars).
But really...........I take it you don't make many visits to Maryhill then as it's full of them. Very trendy amongst certain sections of the community.
Every club (including my own) have their share of morons within the support, but the thing that differentiates the OF is that they manage to attract morons from all across Scotland (and Ireland) - Rangers even more so than Celtic.
It's the concentration of half-wits that surround these clubs that increases the scale of the problem.
I've got plenty of friends - good, decent people - who support one or other of the ugly sisters, but there's no denying that the OF have the most obnoxious and largest groups of undesirables following them.
Life would be so much sweeter without either of the OF..

No, its just playing well with Rainjurs Meeja. The GersNetOnline Twitter account was at the same meeting and their timeline reads, in summary 'I smell shite'.
Yup, saw this

Interesting meeting at Ibrox earlier. I'm afraid Green was far from convincing & there wasn't enough time for any difficult questions.

Believe the original source was twitter feed from reps at the meeting, probably more detailed report soon, but I'm not sure I can survive much longer inside RM.
It's funny for a while, but the madness gets to you after a bit.............

I see no mention of billion dollar global investment or multimillion pound 'war chest', or is that just implied in the being miles better than Celtic in 5 years and being the winners forever more part?
My take is that he's just telling them what he thinks they want to hear to keep them onside - the Ticketus deal doesn't seem to make much sense unless the court case had some bearing on it.
Seems to be playing well with ra peepul though

Feedback from today''s meeting between Fan Reps and Green, according to RM,
- season ticket prices frozen
- Ticketus deal terminated, RFC now owe them money, not tickets
- 5 or 6 investors already committed, pot at over £20 mill
- RFC more financially secure than Celtic within 5 years and winning title regularly
- Whyte definitely out of the picture, documents have been signed
- No chance of RFC being kicked out of SPL, would result in 5 or 6 clubs goin bust
- Shepherd and MacDonald among 20 potential investors
Seem likely?

I've just started playing this. Somehow won the Scottish Championship in my first season (on goal difference). Still really struggling with a lot of it - transfers in particular. I used to play Champ Manager years ago, but this is a different world.
Really enjoying your posts.
