Some kind of suspended punishment would draw a line under things. Can’t understand why you guys didn’t pursue some kind of compensation payment back in April rather than the legal route. Gerry Britton seems to think he’s smarter than the average bear. Doncaster said quite eagerly on Sportsound at the time that that was something that could be discussed. I suppose Thistle thought that reconstruction was still a possibility, not sure why. When that didn't work they should have obviously gone the compo route with the threat of litigation behind it, Budge had to get her fans back onside though.

Yet another condemnation of self interest where that self interest isnt Partick Thistle's self interest without even a hint of irony in it.

Not a true fan with a statement like that or are you more motivated towards a wind up? You are right, re the statement. Utter embarrassment and as many have said on here the management and leadership has been poor at both the top of the spfl and Thistle, no arguement there. 2 hours ago, JagsCG said: Quite an embarrassing thing to say. It’s only a statement. No fan would wish their club didn’t exist.

Truly mortifying. I think your club are Past Masters at putting out cringeworthy statements. You tried hard to cease to exist in recent years, but getting your zero pence in the £ CVA kept you going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I dont think we do. Ann Budge's statement is what you would expect from the losing side in a dispute. Still cant comprehend how they lost, repeats the same things again, bit bitter but its not unexpected. The Thistle statement with its 'everyone's out to get us' paranoia tone along with the creepy 'Thistle Family' patter is much worse for me. As I have said all along, I blame Hearts for this legal debacle entirely. Once it already existed Thistle can hardly be particularly blamed for taking a free ride along with it, especially as any fool can see they were MUCH more unfortunate than Hearts in the calculations. However, Thistle's public statements on it have been massively more cringeworthy than Hearts ones. They have been consistently dreadful attempts to play the 'everyone is going out of their way to pick on us' card. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always felt Hearts needed Thistle for the genuine unfairness credibility, wouldn't have been surprised if they contributed to Thistle's costs. Let's face it when Hearts go beat off St Mirren before lockdown they were not coming back & were basically relegated. Thistle on the other hand had every chance. Hearts are the true villains here and I can only feel sorry for PTFC but the member clubs voted for it & it's a members competition so it has to stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
