cheese Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 A flag is like having a child or pet to some people. There’s that glorious moment where you submit your own individual design to the flag design company to be worked on. You know that in a matter of weeks that your flag will be ready to be collected. It’s been brewed to perfection like a nice cask of ale on the south coast of England. It’s then yours to be enjoyed. Perhaps in your bedroom or with ravers at music festivals. Then, there is a flag which is even more special… A football flag. Partick Thistle has a small but proud following. ‘Real time banter’ can be heard flowing from each stand of our ground every couple weeks at home games, mixing with every whiff of Bovril emanating from foam cups. It’s a social environment you’d want to bestow on even your worst enemies. Unless, that is, your enemy is Sevco. On Friday the 15th of September a Sevco fan group broke into our majestic ground, Firhill Stadium and stole 3 flags out of the North Stand which belonged to supporters of our club. The board, in our opinion, has released what we’d at best call an ‘average, lukewarm’ response to investigating the whereabouts of these flags. It comes with great reluctance and regret that the Firhill Radicals must come out of our dormant status to bail the club out and find the perpetrators of this callous act. Mark our words. These criminals will be caught and dealt with by the Firhill Radicals. We’ve been in early discussions about the punishment for these silly neds that have done this. However; one popular repercussion was discussed and chosen. The Firhill Radicals can confirm that be for the robbers will receive a ‘mass pile on’ from current and former members of the Firhill Radicals. Please be patient with us during this operation as it may take a couple of days but as Eddie Prentice found to his cost, we’re not a group to be messed with. Yours, The Firhill Radicals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jukebox Rebel Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 I quite like this measured approach of a mass pile on as opposed to an outright knee capping. Über thuggery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Who, out of curiosity, are The Firhill Radicals? Something like Free Radicals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglas clark Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Jaggernaut, That is not entirely helpful. What is the background and the history of The Firhill Radicals? A group I have never heard of before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMCF Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Something like Free Radicals. More like The New Radicals - You Get What You Give One cannot condone violence, of whatever kind, with more violence. Karma Komrades. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

douglas clark Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Well, that's a relief. We all ought to be aware that even veiled threats of violence are, as MMFC nearly says, very bad Karma. This web site is vulnerable to 'take down' by people that think it is all fun and games until someone loses an eye. The thing we are most likely to lose is this very web site. For the vulnerability that it has is folk that think that there is a 'free pass' to the extent that it can be neutral about 'comments' advocating, in even the most roundabout way, violence. It cannot. If the site is 'threatened' by closure over folk that advocate violence either tacitly or openly, it will be shut down. I would prefer that that does not happen. ---------------------------------------------------------- Any future suggestions on this thread of implied or potential violence will be deleted. As will any supporting comments. So too will any attempt to open another 'thread' on this. ---------------------------------------------------------- Keep it clean guys! We are better than this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
