What's the most "Tin Pot" thing you've seen in the SPFL


Recommended Posts

I don't think you can tar Berwick fans with the beast brush on account of Kilt.  Clyde fans though have a long and storied history of odd behaviour.

I'm sure the CTWD-SaintSam episode is in the Gold forum.  CTWD went to a St Johnstone-Partick Thistle game in the Saintees end and then posted in their post-game thread that he'd been there and seen SaintSam.  Bear in mind that CTWD is a large, intimidating looking man and SaintSam, at this time, was an 18 year old lassie.  Hair sniffing was unconfirmed.

ETA - Kilt has hilarious form with Saint Johnstone fans though, I'm sure the messages have been posted here many times.

It was also "the Bet Butler Stadium" and "The Strathclyde Homes Stadium".

 

3 out of 4 stands at Queen of the South's Palmerston Park are sponsored.

"The Rosefield Salvage Stand"
"The Outback Services Terrace"

And as a young kid I grew up dreaming of scoring in front of a packed out "The Gates Power Transmission Stand".

Two stewards posted at Palmerston for a pre-season friendly a few seasons back, and one of those police tapes in the stand to "segregate" the fans.

Folk just laughing as Killie and QoS fans with identical scarves duked under or back and high-fiving each other.

Loads of both all laughing in the pub afterwards.
 

High fiving is unacceptable behaviour. Scumbags.

I posted that at 6 this morning; you post that at noon?

 

 

 

Too slow.

You say that like shitposting to P&B first thing when you get out of bed in the morning is something to be proud of. Most of us are sound asleep when you're treating the internet to your words of wisdom.

Remember, not everyone in the world is like you. Estragon waits until noon before shitposting to P&B first thing when he gets out of bed.

I'm not sure if this tin-pot-ness applies to the SPFL or the Weeg/WoS. What an unadulterated piece of pathetic nonsense (the first story, although the Riordan story...y'know)

You forgot about the time ten years ago when they tried to turn themselves into a Rangers tribute act, bringing in puffing 'Rangers legends' to play in Clyde jerseys against Rangers' first team.

An absolutely vile institution then. Luckily they were punished with relegation at the end of that very campaign, followed immediately by another relegation to the fourth tier and permanent oblivion. While their big team was also punished with liquidation and death. 

 

:lol:

Why can't they just police and punish these cretins appropriately instead of wetting their knickers trying to make sure Celtic can't win the league against Zombgers?

This *is* appropriate policing. Rearranging fixtures to avoid crowd trouble is a far smarter form of police work than the stupidity and inefficiency of actually attempting to fight and then process hundreds of fans after the trouble starts, and the best way of punishing the cretins making this kind of trouble is to gently arrange the world so it doesn't start in the first place. This isn't anything to do with changing the result, just ensuring that when the Celtic fans get the news they've won, they're not about to send 40,000 Rangers fans into a state of near-terminal goading.

It's not as if league fixtures aren't routinely prearranged with the police - it's for that reason that Celtic and Rangers, or Hibs and Hearts don't play home games on the same day, and it's the same in the (presumably not quite so tinpot) English league system.
