The Partick Thistle thread


Recommended Posts

The Thistle mascot's reign as an edgy, different, divisive symbol will be short lived. Thistle fans already creaming themselves superimposing the image into a variety of situations....it's reminiscent of students latching onto Rolf Harris or a Glastonbury crowd 'grooving' to Dolly Parton or Shirley Bassey. Pretty soon it'll just be a cnut in a daft looking yellow outfit.

You lost?

A boring and pointless club sponsored by Waitrose and owned by a disgusting Tory scumbag.

This is the gift that keeps on giving.

Whilst this is true, it's clearly a light hearted statement by Reading as well.

I'm laughing with Partick right now, but in another light, I can quite see why someone might laugh at them. It is, of course, so brutally bad that it's fantastic, but that's a tough thing to get right. It certainly isn't a PR nightmare.

How can this be either 'shameful' or a 'PR disaster?'

For starters it's knocked a provincial Scottish club completely viral. So PR job done.

Secondly, it's fucking completely and utterly bonkers to the point of total genius. I don't see how anyone can be negative about something quite so gloriously horrifying. Utter nightmare material for under 7s. One of those things that in years to come will haunt the toddlers of today's dreams well into their teenage years, buried firmly in their subconsciene and never quite understanding if they actually saw it or was a figment of their childhood imagination. And that's healthy, it builds character.

A bit like me with the scary balloon thing in the moomins. :lol:

Precisely.

Not a bit of it. Just messing... Thistle get a ton of publicity and a six-figure deal? Well played. Still think the novelty will be short-lived... Like Queen with Adam Lambert, but hey, ride the wave...
