    The kryptonite only kicks in when in Tbilisi.

    Tuesday night should be fine, and hopefully we have got ourselves into a position when we can actually still afford to go over to Georgia and make a complete erse of it.

    Aye, I´m not thinking ahead to Tbilisi, only to Tuesday. If we can take care of that we can probably afford a slip up or two. And as I say, Georgia really don´t look up to much from that first half...

    Yes I’m sure it will really help a Partick team going for the title when only a handful of fans turn up to away games.

    Would help aye but large away supports is pretty much a uk phenomenon anyway (maybe Germany, Italy and a couple others in Europe too). In the likes of Spain, even the bigger club have very few travelling fans...

    Thistle are 2 points behind with a game in hand..

    To relegate in this state of affairs would be grossly unfair. 

    If any of the other teams were in this situation you would all be taking the exact same stance as Thistle are.

    Forfar have openly said they voted for the proposal just so Thistle would be in the same league next year for extra income.

    Absolutely! Yet apparently it's only those voting against that are acting out of self interest....

    Even if we had been sitting in 8th, I'd genuinely have wanted us to vote against the proposal, in anticipation of another, fairer one (eg, pay out for current league positions but hold off with relegations/promotions for now). I care about my club but I don't want us to benefit unfairly, to the detriment of others. Even if a future proposal meant we would be safe but say, the HL/LL sides were cut out, that wouldn't sit right with me at all.  The fact so many are saying our position is selfish is completely disingenuous.

    If we do end up in League 1 next season, I can see fellow jags fans boycotting Forfar away and potentially others who voted for the proposal...

    The SPFL have already distributed the funds clubs minus the final placings. Every club was given on 20th March the money that the bottom club in their prospective leagues would receive. This current situation is so that the difference which is based on finishing position can be paid.

    So the club's that are claiming potential financial ruin would've been screwed anyway if they'd finished bottom of their respective leagues? Could you not argue that they're living outwith their means if they're a poor season away from oblivion? Genuine question.

    Self interest strikes again.  Dragging this out to suit teams who have, quite frankly, been pish all season will cause other teams to go bust. 

    We clearly don't need the money enough to be willing to drop down a division. And why should we? We've been pish aye but Queens have only been 0.03 points better. So as they're obviously doing it for the good of all, not out of self interest, why not offer to go down in last place instead of us?That should settle it. Nah though not...

    With one team sitting idle every week after the split? 

    I guess the only real issue with that is that a team could finish their games before the final day of the season, but need certain results to go their way, giving the other team/teams an advantage...

    And that's a pretty big potential issue to be fair. Could end up with a 'Germany-Austria scenario'...

    However, all said, as a jags fan, I wholeheartedly support this proposal! ;)
