Ah, so the vote was not specifically one to decide if the named teams stayed in the leagues they were bottom of then? So no such vote took place then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Norrie Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Will Thistle continue to plough valuable resources traditionally meant for the first team into rainbow related projects and women's football now that the financial landscape has changed somewhat? Maybe time to refocus on important things now before it's too late. Just saying. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe time to refocus on important things now before it's too late. Just saying. Considering we’ve just appointed a new managerial team to the women’s team, then yes we’ll continue to have one. What “valuable resources” are you specifically enquiring about? The women’s team have very little to do with the men’s team is what we’ve been told before (certainly from a financial aspect). What’s a “rainbow related project”, if you mean being an LGBT friendly football environment, then yes absolutely we will continue being one I’d imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Norrie Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 The resources that I mention means money. Okay, I'll have to assume by your answer that Thistle's women's football is financially self supporting (if that's what you've been told) and if that is the case, I would have no issue (if I was a Thistle fan). As for rainbow issues, I was unaware that there is a problem with anyone's sexual preference with regards to football. Probably one more unnecessary box ticking exercise in my humble opinion. Aw well, as long as it keeps someone employed. Personally I would spend all the clubs energy and resource on first team footballing matters. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only assume these "rainbow issues" you are on about are the rainbow colours on our away strips last season? Or Thistle's positive engagement with the LGBT+ community? Considering neither cost the club money and are examples of probably the only positive PR from the club in the last few years, I'm not sure what your blubbering about. As for your suggestion that football doesnt have a problem with homosexuality...seriously? Away you go. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes that will be why there isn’t a single openly gay current professional mens footballer in the UK, only one in Europe and only three on the entire planet, despite it being estimated that 7% of the world’s adult male population is either gay, bisexual or otherwise do not identify as heterosexual. But sure, football doesn’t have a problem. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sure, football doesn’t have a problem. Surely the fact that television, acting, hairdressing etc probably has far more than 7% of that quota, why have you a problem with professional football not attracting gay men? I really fail to see why it's important to know about someone's sexual preferences, or have a problem with them keeping it private if they want to. I don't hear people in the aforementioned traditional gay avenues bleating about heterosexuals being under represented. You guys can of course focus on what you want, but I'm glad that my club just seem to focus on mainly football issues (even if they're not very good at it). Personally I would keep politics well away from football, but everyone to his own. -17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem isn’t professional football not attracting gay men, it’s the gay men in professional football don’t feel able to be open about who they are. I have absolutely no doubt that if a player came out tomorrow, there’d be fans at every club in Scotland who would use that against them. That is also a problem. ”It’s fine though because the gays have hairdressing and that” 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
