  1. So you are happy to get gubbed every week providing we play with kids from the juniors ? Personally I’m fed up of losing. I just want a winning team and I’mnot much bothered what age they are or where they came from
  2. I would strongly disagree. What we need to get rid of is the losing mentality. It doesn't matter if it is young or old players, if we play expansive entertaining football, or win 1-0 on the counter attack. The most important item to address is 3 years of losing more games than we win. PERIOD. Lets start winning games. That is the top priority. Once we do that, then introduce the youth players into a winning team. That will do more for Partick Thistle and for the players themselves. Put out a team of kids who get gubbed 5-0 every week by Cove/Clyde/Forfar and you will completely kill their careers before they start.
  3. Who is going to sign any players without some indication of when football will restart. I don’t see how closed door games would be financially viable for the liked of Hamilton, Livvy, Ross and St.Mirren and without them there is no Premier League
  4. But he has already said that he would honour it.
  5. Even if they have relegation contracts, who is going to sign them in the current climate ?
  6. The R number. Just like Covid-19, but you want it to be over 1. Very confusing to this old brain
  7. I think that is what he is saying. Queens Park and Cove are safe as they have chairmen who have big wallets
  8. Point me to a supporter of any club who doesn't think that the officials are generally against them
  9. For virus nerds... Dynamo Dresden have quarantined their entire squad and their first 2 or 3 Bunesliga 2 games which were behind closed doors have been cancelled In Germany it will take about 300 people inside the ground to put on a closed doors game.
  10. The other thing to factor is who would pull the plug ? Normally it is HMRC who hit the final nail in the coffin due to unpaid tax, but that is highly unlikely in the current circumstances. Often it is the board themselves who are the ones that lend the most money The only possible one I can see is Rangers, who have one of the biggest overheads and allegedly are in a poor financial position and that is before they have to pay out hefty fines and anything that might come from SPFLgate. I still can't see who would actually kill them off
  11. Less any money due to tv companies in compensation for the incomplete season
  12. That is what I thought, but you were asking what if 2 or 3 clubs do this. I would expect all clubs to take this option
  13. I'm not sure what they mean by "mothballing". Most L1 and L2 clubs, plus a few in the Championship, will have no contracted players by the end of June and I can't see any of them recruiting until there is a prospect of football. I would also expect that we would honour our contracts, but can't see anything beyond that. Maybe reduce pitch and stadium maintenance to basics. Whats to stop them doing that and thus getting outgoings down to the absolute minimum.
  14. That depends on what you want the statistics to prove
  15. If only it was just you and me allowed to vote. Sadly BJ’s approval rating is rising as we go though this
  16. Not in anyway condoning anything that the UK government has done, but I don't think it is a coincidence that the largest city in Europe (London) and U.S.A. (New York) have by far the worst statistical evidence of virus spread. London had gone a long way to skew the UK figures.
  17. and it takes the SPFL 35 minutes to digest the 200 pages and issue a statement to say there is not a shred of evidence against them. I wonder how thoroughly they read it
  18. I have checked and these are not percentages but raw numbers. So England has a far bigger population than the other uk nations, so is bound to have more deaths. This is a completely pointless comparison that proves absolutely bugger all.
  19. I have no idea what the figures are, but I am highly skeptical of that chart which shows England being so much worse than the rest of the UK. We all did the same things at the same time, so while there may be some regional variation, I would expect them to be broadly similar. (I am assuming that the numbers are a % over the average for time of year. If it isn't, then I'm not sure what comparison it is trying to make).
  20. I'd settle for that. wonder if it is a permanent change, of just for a season. It would be difficult to go back to the old system, so I guess permanent
