Dundee Hibernian Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Thistle has always been an away day favourite of mine, the Firhill Tavern and what I think was the original social club in the stand being ports of call when visiting. Looking forward to Maryhill this season. My wife's grandpa played for the Jags in the 'thirties, and they are a beacon for fair(er) minded supporters from Glasgow. Distinctive colours too, which stand out in Scottish football. Lots to like (excepting Brian Graham), and I'm sure they'll get out of this situation in time. In any case, there are very few Scottish clubs I'd like to see in severe difficulties, and you can probably guess who they'd be. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still some work to do in the humility front I see, but only to be expected after you came so close* to having your ludicrous scheme pay off for you. There are many things you can point at our club and laugh for at the moment, but a "gormless and gullible fanbase" is a very odd choice, given that in the course of last season over 1000 fans joined the Jags Foundation, and successfully ousted a dreadful chairman and board (who we were aware were incompetent) to get us on the road to fan ownership. The fans were therefore neither of the things you claim. Meanwhile, I think I am right in saying that Greenock have only recently achieved relative stability based on your sweetie prince writing off a couple of "millions" of debt? All in all, this thread is peak Morton in its desperation to score some points and wish to see a fellow smaller club liquidated. It's cringe-inducing stuff from start to finish and maybe would have been better on your dedicated "We Hate Partick Thistle" thread on your own forum rather than making complete fannies of yourselves here?

Heid_The_Baw Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 To be fair to the Jags, they were the best team we played last season in the Champ (Raith). I would be sad to see the end of Glasgow's second oldest team.......

'Humility' - coming from you . We've nothing to be humble about - a hated board fucked up with the money we had (and a lot we didn't), then fucked off when they couldn't avoid admitting it anymore. We'll sort this, without any help from anyone else. Couple of seasons, and we'll be on an even keel - may get relegated, may get promoted, but we'll still have a club. Off you pop! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 It would be cool if Hearts/Partick Thistle could organise a pre-season friendly at Firhill. Many Hearts fans would be happy to help the Jags and it's an excellent away day. I'm sure plenty tickets could be sold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah especially if you've been through it at your own club, you'd never wish it on anyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jives Miguel Posted June 9, 2023 Author Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) What's actually funny is that despite Partick FC fans being NPCs whose only personality trait is bleating "loooook, we are not Celtic or Rangers!!", they would probably be in administration right now without The Blue Pound they received for playing that cup tie at Ibrox.

cb_diamond Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 This state of this thread...no wait, that's not right, hang on, I've got it... ...the state of the Morton fans on this thread. That's the one. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Your Own Socks Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 18 hours ago, GiGi said: Morton have literally moved to fan ownership in the last 2 seasons you absolute fud. If your fan owners include the wallopers that come on here with their wee red dots then Morton will be playing Cowdenbeath and Berwick in a few years. If the SPFL just had the brains to say “if we put Morton in the Conference would you back us”… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came on to say this - there's been some discussion about it on some Hearts forums and social media and Firhill makes a great day out. Think it could sell out tbh. I know you want to sort it out yourselves, but both teams would benefit. Gutted with what happened in the play-off btw, but that's fecking football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jags Foundation can be prone to sensational word choice in their statements, usually followed by a 'sign up to-day!' plea. I'm not necessarily expecting great things on the pitch next season though. I think we'd have struggled badly in the Premiership in any case. Some fairly predictable patter here from fans of some teams who bitterly hate the Jags, like Ayr and Greenock, who have much smaller supports, play in crumbling husks of stadiums which make Firhill look like the Allianz Arena, and havn't made the top tier since the late 70s/80s respectively, before I was born. The 80s, you say... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like at all. Last time she left, we had to honour the nonsense budget she’d given Gary fucking Caldwell, so had to cancel team busses and stuff like that. And I suspect it would’ve been much worse back then had Fitzpatrick not gone to Norwich and Lindsay’s sell on fee not come through. The woman’s a fucking moron. To appoint Jacqui Low once could be considered unfortunate. Twice sounds like carelessness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was punted originally by one of our previous chairmen, but then snuck back in on the Colin Weir “fan ownership” ticket before proceeding to take over the club and run it as a dictator rather than a fan-owned enterprise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think there's any bitter hatred from Ayr fans?? You're just talking pish there. AI think most Ayr fans are pretty sympathetic given that we were in a similar state 15 years ago. About 90% of the patter on this thread has been supportive, save for the perennially snide Morton posters who stink up every thread. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Clavdivs Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Season Ticket sales opened at 1300 today and by close of play at 1600 had sold 25% of last years total already with 25% of that coming from new season ticket holders . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
