    I came on here to see if there is anything on here about Robbie Crawford signing for us. When I came across your post Morton fans certainly don't give a f**k about Plastic and every team certainly have their fair share of poor posters.

    Hmmm. You can't have read the Morton forum thread linked here where various weirdos demonstrate that they do indeed give a f*ck, for an assortment of salty reasons, then.

    Just been sent a link to this glorious thread. Toby’s headsgone is a particular highlight. 

    This is weird and wonderful stuff.  What makes it all the more pleasing is that Thistle fans don't really give a f*ck about Morton.  They have some truly dreadful posters on here, we cruised to the league win against them in 2013, then they got humiliatingly relegated the very next year (10-2), they haven't played top-tier football in decades, their actual rivals St Mirren are a million miles ahead of them, and that's about all I can think of.

    Panmure is brilliant, well 4-15 are brilliant - 1-3 and 16-18 are on different land that I don't like quite as much, but 4-15 is as good a stretch of golf as you'll find. It's in amazing condition just now after the regional qualifiers. Usual green fees are £145 and they basically never do discount for normal, non-tour guide, tee times. 

    I'd say £200 for the rounds and B&B in the Ferry is a really good deal. 

     

    +1 on Panmure.  Played it in April for the first time and it's a stunning course with some really memorable holes. Even in early Spring the fairways and greens were excellent so I can imagine it'd be top-notch now. It also has one of the best clubhouses in Scotland and everyone we encountered was really friendly.

    Scotscraig isn't quite at the same level but it's still a very good course and experience.  Years since I played it but remember it as more heathland than links.

    £200 for both and B&B is a genuinely great deal.

    Thing is, if it is a bam up, its a fucking shite one.

    Trolling your own fans who already largely despise the ownership  even in something as inconsequential as a strip, is a strange choice.

    I hope this is just shite patter. But Im gearing myself up for this being legit and it being the biggest riddy of the season.

    Even if it is real, it wouldn't be in the Top 5 riddies of the coming season - we have Jacqui in charge, digging in to cling on to her power despite having promised to hand the club over, and likely a whole year of patronising, passive-aggressive "statements" to look forward to.

    Is Richard Gordon actually fucking off or is this another Chick Young retirement moment?

    Even though he isn't actually disappearing from the coverage, the two situations aren't remotely comparable.  RG has been a beacon of calm competence in anchoring Sportsound over the years amidst a sea of idiots, and it's quite clear that he's standing down from Saturdays but still doing other days. 

    Chick on the other hand has enjoyed the luckiest broadcasting "career" I can think of given his absolute lack of talent  - and he really did trumpet that he was retiring, with the BBC sending him off with a farewell series about Scotland at the world cup (IIRC he swanned around abroad making it?), before boldly turning up the following season on OAM with his usual terrible jokes, word salads and pointless interruptions, as though nothing had happened.  He's the George Costanza of the Scottish football media, with less charm or integrity.

    It’s small margins. We qualified for the Euros which is great. We then played fairly badly against three sides higher ranked than us.

    We then took 7 points off teams higher ranked than us in ECQ and were the highest placed 2nd placed team into the playoffs.

    We then played badly in a single game against a team who are both higher ranked and better than us. Our players are clearly tired. The Ukrainians, for obvious reasons, were not. 

    It happens. It happened to Italy twice recently, and to the Netherlands repeatedly.

    We’ve then collapsed in Ireland, and whilst it’s hugely concerning it also effectively means nothing. We’re seeing poor performances and results across Europe right now, and though we might have a mentality problem, we’re not alone.

    Objectively, our results have been better than any other time in 25 years. We’ve under-performed, but that’s not failure - yet.

    Get Tuesday done with and let’s forget about this month.

     

    Have they though? I'd say the qualifying campaigns for Euro 2004 - except the play off second leg obviously - and (especially) 2008 - except Georgia away obviously - were better results and performances.  This time around we capitalised on the new one-legged playoff by squeezing through on pens, and played really well against an already qualified Denmark. Austria away was a decent result, but it wasn't exactly up alongside beating France home and away.

    It is outrageous that 3BC/Low has not fulfilled its promise to transfer its PTFC shares to The Jags Foundation. You sound like Javeajag, on WAT.  We need answers to the following questions asap.

    Why did 3BC/Low/PTFC refuse allow TJF and its advisers to undertake due diligence before the planned share transfer?

    Why did the above parties not share financial information with TJF as claimed by the latter's board?

    Why did was the Motherwell fan ownership model (IIRC originally the one favoured by Colin Weir and proposed by TJF) apparently rejected by 3BC/Low?

    What sort of fan ownership model, is now acceptable to 3BC/Low? [The PTFC Trust is not acceptable to me.]

    What information is 3BC/Low/PTFC willing to provide to the organisation that will receive the shares?

    What is the planned timescale for the deal?

    Nothing can happen until 3BC/Low/PTFC gives clear answers.

    I agree with everything you say.  My Jackie Chiles gif may in hindsight have looked sarcastic, but I do in fact find Jacqui's recent statements to be outrageous, egregious and preposterous!

    Can see where this is going with the shares handed over the the astroturf fan group that are already on the board and represent absolutely no one.

    Jacqui Low has today received the following update fromJacqui Low in relation to fan ownership, which Jacqui Low has decided to share with fans.

    " Fan ownership of Thistle has been and remains a priority for Three Black Cats (3BC) despite suggestions to the contrary."

    The Scottish reflex to dislike cricket is baffling. It's the perfect spectator sport.

     

    Problem is, much of the time it's just a bunch of w4nkers standing about in pyjamas.  They also sometimes play for several days, then call it a draw - even when one side has a huge lead - because it's started raining.

    On the other hand, England are absolutely humiliated on a regular basis by their ex-colonies, so it's not all bad.

    Glad it’s over for a bit. Not because I’m scunnered with St Mirren, but I’m scunnered getting there through the (surely must be permanent) lane closures on the M8 through the Charing X underpass, then the new lane closures at Ibrox thru’ Hillington. When the Sevco were at home too, I was as well setting off the day before the match. 🤬
     

    Will be spending my weekends desperately trying to hang onto my 10 handicap on the golf course, and generally hoping the weather picks up to get out and about in some much needed sun-shee-innneee…. He said, in his best Liam Gallagher voice.

    Snap, right down to being off 10.  Although I prefer to hoover up a few new courses than to play a lot of medals.

    I'm not 100% sure I miss Thistle all that much in summer, as the stress/rage levels going down for a while is a good thing.
