Derby Jag Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 One of the few threads on here that people, like myself, who tend to just view topics relating to the club has been ruined by this nonsense. Some good discussion and points were being made prior to the puns. Everytime I have come on here in the last few days seeing this topic with no posts has made me click to see if there has been anything of interest happen and I am pretty sure I am not the only one to be disappointed. You may all think its hilarious and reactions like this OTT but people used to use this site for getting up to speed on the latest Thistle news and discussion; interesting topics resorting to this put people like me completely off coming here. Thanks guys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 To be fair, agreed. Let's get back to the fitba stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Gums Murphy Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Partly my fault DJ as was trying to figure out what a spangle was. •waves at Linda as he loves to pretend he's not looking & has blocked certain posters* He'll be back on in a minute to call me GUMS despite not being able to see this.

allyo Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I really feel for the precious folk who have their precious threads ruined by people having a bit of fun. It must be awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) I really feel for the precious folk who have their precious threads ruined by people having a bit of fun. It must be awful. I have to agree with you. As a nomad, this is the forum to come to for the up to date information on the Jags. Although not agreeing with everyone on the serious business of us staying in the top league, I see no problem with a humorous aside or twenty in a thread during a down week when we have no fixture. For example, the week before the St Johnstone game there was next to no traffic on this site. I appreciate that the humour may not be to everyone's taste, but nor is everyone's opinion on our progress on the field of play. Let's at least enjoy each other's company, even if we don't always agree. Edited April 21, 2015 by Barney Rubble 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanieD Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Things might become a wee bit clearer after Friday night's Hamilton Motherwell game - Hamilton are in freefall - they got their work done early (and deserve a bit of praise for their pre-Xmas run) - Motherwell are desperate (for points as well as in terms of their general performances). It is a derby match so perhaps form goes out of the window. Motherwell humped them a few weeks back but Hamilton have horsed Motherwell twice in the league (and in the league cup?). Having said that probably a dire 1-0 to Motherwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags on tour Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I take it we all want a Hamilton win for this game? yeah we would love to get 7th place but safety comes first.hopefully a Hamilton&Jags double. the good thing is the following week Well play County at Fir Park while we play St Mirren at home.

partick monkey Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I really feel for the precious folk who have their precious threads ruined by people having a bit of fun. It must be awful. There was a thread last year regarding the youth teams and how they were getting on. Although I didn't actively post on the thread I was quite interested in reading about our various future stars and their progress. It was a good thread up until the point it degenerated into to some shit-jokeathon with about 2 full pages of excruciating puns. That was the end of that for me. Thread ended which is a real shame... If the mods could create a special 'pun' area of the forum where all yous fun people with a 'great sense of humour' can go and enjoy yourselves without wrecking interesting threads then I think everyone would be happy.

In a game that is a must win for Motherwell, against a team in freefall, I was amazed to see them at 15/8 to win on Friday while Accies are 11/10 (Hills online) Jags 19/10 to win at Dingwall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaroon Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I heard Cowan having a wee joke on Saturday's Off The Ball - he suggested jokingly that Hamilton might not want to put up too much of an effort as they wouldn't want to lose next season's Lanarkshire derby fixture. It was only later that I reflected on his jolly jape and wondered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinistar Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hardly anyone was posting on the forum at the weekend. The main people keeping this thread going were Lindau and BGM having a pop at each other, rightly or wrongly. It was funny when the jokes started and cool that it actually brought people back together. I didn't see any of the Pun Police posting anything so they've got a cheek moaning. If the mods could create a special 'pun free' area of the forum where all yous dull people with 'no sense of humour' can go and be serious without wrecking interesting threads then I think everyone would be happy.

allyo Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 The thread is back on track. Not by moaning, but by people wanting to talk about the topic (npi). No problem. Reckon a Hamilton win would be huge boost (npi) but I don't see it happening. See that would be the problem with a no-pun forum. You'd be walking on eggshells. But not mini eggs. That would be a poor pun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. I created a thread especially for puns in the past. You can see how well it worked. I'd suggest if anyone feels the need to pun on a football topic like this, they start up a new thread for it and make it clear in the title that it's a pun thread and they could even link to it from the relevant thread. It's not that difficult really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Fair enough to the people that don't like puns. They amuse me, but After Eight or nine in a row they can become tiresome. ETA: Wouldn't a draw on Friday be a decent result from our perspective? Edited April 21, 2015 by Jaggernaut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I'm not worried about Motherwell catching us. I'd certainly take a win for them and move us closer to 7th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThickAsThieves Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hamilton win for me. It's all about getting safe as quickly as possible so that we can start making changes to our squad for next season. Dundee have the benefit of being able to sign players - Nicky Low (who I'd have liked) on a pre-contract agreement - by finishing in the top six. Hearts, who have secured promotion, have told Eckersley he's going, told Keatings he's free to go and been told by Wilson he's off. It'd be good to be in a position to do that.

Paulo Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Jeez, this can really be a soul destroying place at times. I'm not the biggest fan of the puns, but scrolling through a dozen posts that aren't of interest to me is hardly going to ruin my day. Same as I don't mind scrolling past a few posts of people moaning about things, I guess. I'd agree that we're looking for a Hamilton win on Friday, but given recent form I wouldn't be expecting it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. One of the odd things about Hamilton's run is that haven't actually seemed to play that badly (for instance when they got beat by Dundee Utd they actually made a load of chances and lost by United taking about their only chance of the game). It depends I suppose how badly their confidence has been affected by playing well and still losing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 A point people may be missing is that a win for Motherwell on Friday and a win for us against Ross means we will only be 2 points behind the Accies with a fairly better goal difference than them. With St Mirren and then Hamilton next up, we could be in a great position come the middle of the final fixtures. The way our defence is playing makes me think we will get at least a draw on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaty FC Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 split the difference - take a draw for the Friday fixture. If we perform to our best over the 5 games we could still catch Accies for 7th and if not we would still need a few points to keep "well" above 'Well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
