The quality of the football in every league we have played in from Premier to the 1st had been called dreadful. It depends who or what league we compare against. The best two teams in Scotland are dreadful in the champions league this season. Historically we in Scotland always compared our football to that in England. Now we can compare it to football all round the world and inevitability it doesn't look good. Genuine question. What should we use to compare our league against another?

Here goes! AAHH HHAH HAHA HAHA AAHH

TBH I think the famous five would be out their depth in a paddling pool

I'd like to hear him and Low questioned by Spiers which is why it will never happen unless they can say 'no comment it's commercially sensitive' at every turn.

AHAH HHHA HAHH HHAH HHAH AHAH HAHH AH thanks again for organising this again BB

Not fearsome!? Have you been to Aberdeen in October, its bound to be baltic!

George Square in 1919. The only time that the government sent tanks onto the streets of Britain to intimidate the population. For those interested I recommend Maggie Craig's book 'When the Clyde Ran Red' a fascinating retelling of Red Clydeside

Thanks for the clarification WJ

As I recall the St Mirren board operates with 6 board members with 3 from their Trust. If the PTFC Trust have any aspirations it should be this!

One representative on the board falls well short of any sort of fan ownership model that I'd find acceptable. Never mind everything else in the 6 pages of nonsense.

I'm with you on this Sandy. I'm scunnered with all the shit that has gone on. I'm still 100% behind TJF but for now I'll find an alternative way of spending Saturday afternoons. I hope that a time will come in the near future that I'm desperate to get back to Firhill but right now I'm not sure if even promotion to the Premier would be enough to entice me back. Sad days.

Rubber stamp if their approval process for rangers is any guide

Watching Thistle often causes me to wish I'd taken plenty loo rolls

Probably both...

Thanks for the explanation WS.

Mrs fifexile has a very special birthday on Thursday this week (she turns 60). A membership to TJF seemed a very good choice as a birthday present. Delighted that her membership number is 865! Great to see the numbers still climbing. Wonder when it will break 1000?

TBF injuries have dictated the set up in defence for the last 2 games. Can't imagine either Turner or McColl wanted him at RB. Expect Hodson will slot straight in tomorrow.

Another great piece of detective work. I really enjoy reading these back stories.

I might be shooting in the dark but does any potential owner of the shares have to pass a fit and proper test by the SPFL? I don't doubt that the Trust would pass the test (Jacquie has friends in high places) but surely objections from a wide fan base would at least get a decent amount of publicity and force the SPFL to review the track record of the Trust? (Criteria for membership, lack of elections, unaccountably etc.)

Most important is that you get well as soon as possible BB. As and when sales restart I'd be happy for either any profits to be held and handed to PTFC at a point in the future when we own our club or donated to the charity that has recently been set up by Jags fans (sorry cant remember the name off hand).

My concern is that Tiffony seems to be prone to picking up injuries. However if he can be used from the bench he might still be a key player. Ee relied far too much on him for creativity last season, hopefully with the stronger squad this year we can rely less on him.

Phew!

Because Duncasterand the rest of the blazers let them....makes no sense at all. Who in their right mind would see an issue of every game on Saturday being streamed....Sky won't be broadcasting any games so their precious viewing figures won't be affected. Just more proof that when it comes to Scottish football the SPFL board just hasn't got a clue, or the best interests of all but 2 of its members at its core.

Apparently there will be no live streams of games this season because Sky won't allow them. Interested to see exactly how many games in the Championship and leagues 1 and 2 Sky intend to broadcast this season. In fact how many games not involving either of the ugly sisters they will cover. Also its been stated that the SPFL are 'continuing to discuss streaming with Sky'.... SPFL ' can we allow clubs to earn a bit more money by streaming games please?' SKY 'No, now sod off' SPFL 'Right you are' ....Quick, get a press release out saying we are in constant dialogue with Sky on streaming

Just as likely the clubs don't want them injured in meaningless games given most carry a 1st team squad of around 20. The squad players can get a run out in the challenge and league cups.
