    Unless he is a known Nazi, then your comment was totally inappropriate. It was the utter dregs of language. Shameful on your part.

    ohh behave yourself, talking through your backside again.

    you could have called him out more constructively ARUS... sometimes 'opinion' can go too far 

    I suppose I could have, but to be honest, that would have been more then he deserves, the guy is a constant pain in the arse, he spouts filthy opinions that appear to originate in a gutter.

    That's a pretty disgusting remark.

    but completely appropriate for an idiot who continually rubbishes some of PTFC more 'woke' endeavors with regards shirt design. Drivel like this has to be called out.

    my opinion of course

    I know nothing about the private life of Leigh Griffiths but that sounds a bit harsh.  I have to say I was pretty impressed with his professionalism in a game against us at Firhill.

    On the bench first half, he was put through a personal warm up routine at half time to which he looked totally committed.  Start of the 2nd half he promptly scored.

    Still don't like him though.

     

    He recently was dropped from the Celtic team that went to France for being seriously overweight

  5. The Raith Rovers cup game was on BBC Alba at the weekend, that was hard to watch again, but it was a timely reminder that at our worst, last season, we were a team that were easy to beat. I can only hope the enforced layoff has helped Thistle work out their multitude weaknesses.

    There has been overwhelming voluntary compliance with the Lockdown provisions in Scotland...police enforcement has been with a very light touch and was only required to deal with a few neds and dafties who wanted to get bevvied. People who went to Botanic Gardens remained socially distanced so it was no big deal.  The prevalence of Coronavirus in Scotland is currently a fifth of England where a less strict/shambolic attitude prevails. Someone on this thread even insisted we should align with the UK Government and rely on their "world beating"  contact-tracing app.

    Not enforcing a strict Lockdown and relying on the good sense of the population doesn't seem to have worked out that well in Sweden.

     

     

     

    I think we have been fortunate in Scotland that we have politicians doing the politics and not cheerleaders, I think also a fair point was made a few weeks ago by one of the  English Labour politicians that the UK didn't need a 'world beating' contact tracing app, but just one that worked.

    This is worth a watch:-

    I think the most telling part is the quote at the end.

    "It is time to restore liberty and move to a voluntary system: to ask for continued caution but ask people to use common sense. The country is ready to be trusted. The question is whether the Prime Minister feels ready to trust us.!"

    This may be OK for the Norwegian population but I'm not so sure it pertains to the Great British public!

    Cant really blame him for that. If some mugs were willing to pay me £300k a year to ponce about in a Blazer, getting the best seats at games; free travel and accomodation ; a nice pension scheme; company car; health insurance and  as many Boardroom lunches as I could manage in a week. All with very little accountability, I would jump at it.

    True, he must have been overjoyed to be offered the gig.

    Maxwell being fair to us? Hahaha. He's a pure establishment man and corrupt as the rest.

    I'm afraid IM is typical of the breed, that he has found himself in a job that he has little or no  skills to hold, and is getting paid an enormous annual salary .

    He will not be the one to 'rock the boat', it's more likely he will keep quiet and just hope he can keep earing his inflated wage for a few more years until he can qualify for an SFA pension. That is his purpose in life .... arbitrate over the current clusterfvck in Scottish football is something he has little interest in doing. [IMO]

    Thinking again, once the Premier League fixtures are published on Monday, that will be it for any reconstruction this season.

    I wonder what the 'wee red book' will look like this year?

    By what measure do you claim "majority" ? Have you polled the membership ? (if so, I think that my voting slip has gone missing). Although I don't have any facts to disprove your claim, judging by the total number of members, and the numbers who have replied on this topic, I would suggest that the "majority" are blissfully unaware of anything Woodstock Jag has said. Without any facts to back up your claim, this is exactly the type of propaganda put out by the SPLF.

    For the record, I do appreciate what WJ contributes, although I'm not convinced by some of his conclusions and I think that there are still enough things which we don't know to make it hard to be quite so black and white. For me there are enough grey areas to give me hope of a result of some sort in our favour. 

    I think the subject demands a debate!!! Should we set up a committee to decide future actions? how many will be in the organization, that will give us an indication of the required quorum?

    You'll forgive me for getting mildly irritated at people asking personal questions and rummaging around to find out more about me simply because I've said stuff they don't like on a football forum.

    understood

    I’m not whinging. I’m simply pointing out that Norgethistle is feigning ignorance as to my credentials while regularly checking them.

    In other words: asking in bad faith.

    I have been on annual leave...?

    WJ relax a bit please, you commentary on the legal action has been appreciated by the majority of the forum

    Tear Gas played our final year school ‘disco’.......I remember the did a stonking version of whole lotta love 

    That is impressive ..... I remember my last two years at secondary school, I refused to attend the school 'disco' as the music played was so kak ..... having a live rock band  play was  simply unthinkable!

    Haven’t got any sympathy at all for John Nelms and Dundee, leaked out they got covered for the Insurance for the pandemic before they actually got paid out ( schoolboy error) . 
    The power trip he got off on with the missing vote and his incredible naivety in listening to Doncaster and Co and doing a U turn which has changed Scottish Football after publicly backing fairness for all Clubs on Dundee’s official site .

    What goes around, comes around .

     

     

    Agree 100%, as the saying goes 'what is for you, does not go by you', Nelms and Dundee FC deserve all they get from this situation, even when the controversy of the missing vote was at it's height and his own people were telling him to back off, he continued with his self gratification.

    They do say a little bit of power [and a little bit of knowledge] is a dangerous thing ..... this character Nelms is a good illustration of this.

    You missed Tear Gas !

    I saw Alex Harvey and Tear Gas [before they decided on the name SAHB] upstairs at the Apollo [it was called 'Clouds'] they were supporting Stone the Crows.  I think the entrance price was £1.00. I have to say, Glasgow was excellent for live music in the seventies.

    I liked it as a boozer but I never thought McLean's second home, Heraghty's Bar, could be described back then as sophisticated.

    I'm told 'The Georgic' is a better place than 'Heraghty's'. It was the watering hole of  Gus [William] McIlvanney (The Big Man, Laidlaw etc etc ) until his untimely death so it cant be bad!
