Are we about to get shafted twice in a year?? Scottish Cup: What would you do about this season's disrupted tournament? - BBC Sport

QUOTE: . . . . . "the bickering is doing reputational damage!" . . . . . stinks of POT calling KETTLE. What does the arrogance emoji look like???

"If" reconstruction does actually happen then I hope the Premier League are no longer allowed a SPLIT to allow the rich to get richer and the rest to fight over any scraps that are left. The whole set up is corrupt. In the 'top' division lets have 17 teams play one home and one away against each other. No play off. No split! Leaves plenty time for mickey mouse competitions and winter break. Next divisions similar Although there are bigger things to concern ourselves with right this very second. Stay Safe, Stay Home, Save Lives.

They appear to be blaming us for their change of vote Their website statement doesn't say how they benefitted It's such a pile of $h1t that they cannot come out of it smelling of roses (surely???)

The VOTE should never have been tabled at this early stage. There's a max of 5 weeks of football remaining so why the sudden rush to get this voted on right now except ££££'s Incompetence? Greed? Stupidity?

Reading BBC reports but haven't read all the posts here but . . . . A lot of arrogance in my mind where there is a bigger picture than football. People (outside of football) their livelihoods are at risk too and people dying out there and the SFA are debating this, this early!!!! Who? Who gave them the go ahead to consider a vote??? This smells of the rich getting richer . . . . and maybe even UEFA driven??? 9 games left is in theory 4.5 weeks of matches??? Delay start of 2020 season, but oh SKY Sport might penalise. Tail wagging dog??? I despair but as a Jags fan we have suffered many many injustices where the 'Voting system' is £'s driven!! Saddened but not surprised. However it reeks of double standards where it is ok to complete the premier league outstanding games but f**k the rest of you.

Seems a tad QUIET on our Official Site?????? From watching the news, this situation should be addressed immediately (or earlier) by the SPFL. In my opinion (for what its worth) I would expect the minimum the SPFL do is penalise HofM and also claim some compensation for the JAGs for the expenses incurred NOT TO MENTION the travelling support who may have planned weekends around the match etc. . . . . . . . Hopefully their own fans will show their discontent and direct it towards the Ms BUDGE. . . . . . . . . . There definitely seems to be an injustice over the years and WE always seem to suffer. Remember WE had to build a suitable stadium to ensure Premier League capabilities but spent all the money on bricks and mortar and NOTHING left to spend on players = WE SUFFERED and nearly disappeared forever. Then the 'unwashed' rented Hampden to ensure BIG £'s still arrived to finance their ground upgrade and now HofM played at Murrayfield to ensure their £'s rolled in and now they cannot provide a SAFETY CERTIFICATE for a venue they hope to fill on Sunday with members of the public. Less than 48hrs to sort it, hmmmm!

Thoughts are with you Maggie and Fiona as well as Dereks extended 'RednYellow' family. I am sure CCJag and the Thistle Family will help you find the strength as the empty seat lies amongst you. Sincere condolences Neil xx

Hmmm, that means SEvco need to finish in the Top 6? to make sure Dumbcaster doesn't have to rethink the reshape. Might be able to seek advice from Sebb Splutter? OTIG

Is the ref somebody Davidson?

There's only one Dougie Somner!

Hmmm, not too sure about all the different theories except I am kind of siding with the idea that we cannot wait tooooooo long for a LT decision especially f it were to hinder our chances to sign someone else on our radar or even worse miss the opportunity altogether so maybe all cards on the proverbial table and call! It is easy sitting in the fans seat isnt it?

Well we've got a strip that certainly deserves a run in Europe

All those GOK WANs in the house must be a tad younger than me. I remember those socks in 1971 (But they only had two yellow hoops before anyone becomes pedantic). Red Shorts in 1971 also (albeit with the black stripe) I LIKE the kit. . . . . . . . I am more concerned to see what goes INSIDE them. OTIG :fan: :fan:

A real Jags man and then a real groundsman (before machinery was purchased) Jimmy Davidson would don his trench coat and black wellies and push his lawnmower or wheelbarrow around Firhill. Alongside him another great Jags man Jackie Husband = A gentleman.who had magic sponge and dextrose tablets wrapped inside bandages for sock tie-ups that us Ball boys used to run up & down touchline to distribute to tiring players.

And who can remember the match at Shawfield when the referee was the only person in the ground that thought the ball went in the net through the goalposts awarding a goal to Clyde where everyone else, including the "Bully Wees Ballboys", saw the ball land on the net and fall through. The aforementioned ball boys even pointed at the hole in the net. Can't remember the final score.

After my initial shock, I do believe the publicity today has been tremendous! A SCARF worn round neck(waist) I think would complete it OTIG & One Kingsley in Glasgow!

I first thought it was '72 season after LEAGUE CUP and a UEFA match? HONVED? or am I way off? . . . . . but I'm also looking at the shorts and brought back memories of when my PE teacher at Stonelaw High gave me and my friend and fellow Jags Fan 'Parrot' a ribbing for us having a black stripe on our PE shorts. Asked if we were in mourning! I also had a thought of Aberdeen!

Nobby Clark & Scruffer (I was ball boy). OTIG

I just went onto my facebook to find the same story about why or where my fears are based. . . . http://partickthistl....blogspot.co.uk Do we need to spend the money on a team to watch and to keep us in the top flight? . . . . or. . . . do we want somewhere to stand?

I hate to be a party pooper but . . . . . When the announcement that we all needed seated stadiums happened years ago then we used up ALL available £'s to ensure we met the criteria and that in my honest opinion led to us having no money to invest on the park and we slid down the tables and nearly out of existence!!! So, lets be careful and spend WISELY!!!!!!! OTIG

Boo bl00dy hooooo! I just watched Reporting Scotlands report on that poor wee diddy club and how they miss that other poor wee diddy club and how they are the only ones to miss them blah blah blah. (Actually what he meant was £££££££££££££££'s as if they deserve it all) Time for them all to talk about heading south again! ONE TEAM IN GLASGOW :fan:

1) Stopping at sweetie shop at Queens X for bag of "Oddfellows" 2) (As a ball-boy at reserve matches in the empty Shed) Firing 'Ring pulls' from cans at each other and not noticing the ball had been kicked into the terracing and getting shouted at by players and Main stand spectators! 3) (also as a ball boy) Getting Dextrose tablets from Jackie Husband wrapped inside a bandage to hand to players to tie-up their socks. It always felt so secretive as if you were giving them some sort of boost to improve their game. 1970+ ah the memories. Shed a few tears thinking of the Firhill Family and all the greats no longer with us. Tob Jag

And I think I'm correct in saying his testimonial was against Manchester United??? He was a great practical joker, as ball-boys we would be the 'mugs' to his humour. As Physio he'd help Willie Ross and they'd be a bit like 'Little and Large' in their White Tracksuit tops with red piping and Red trackie troos with white piping. Belated Happy Birthday Donnie, you still owe me 2p from a bet!!!!!
