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?

We also need to know whether an unreturned vote is a YES NO not a YES not a NO or not counted. also, how long do we have to vote (maximum and preferred return date) and what votes can and can't be changed upto the deadline. Basically it is a can of worms to know whether WJ has support or not, so we may need to let the courts decide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that there are people like myself who read threads but don't feel compelled to reply to absolutely every post like certain blithering idiots do; so whilst this thread (like so many) has been dominated by a few mouthy individuals who must heartily enjoy the sound of their own voices, there is a usually silent contingent who read what WJ has written and finds his contribution illuminating. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weebaw1 Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 I wouldn’t want WJ on my side in any kind of confrontation. I want winners, believers, grafters, initiators. The board and our legal team are fighting for the existence of our wonderful club. He’s worse than a man short. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allyo Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 A couple of things that concern me around this debate... Ever since the legal action was announced my main argument with WJ was that Thistle had no choice. Once the money was offered they had to pursue this or risk losing the fans. Others have argued with WJ, why would Thistle pursue this if they really had such little chance of success? Well there, in my view, could be your answer. And... A lot of people seem to object to the SPFL dictating and pushing the agenda, rather than reflecting the clubs' wishes. This to me misses the point. True democracy will always fail to provide a "fair" solution in a case such as this. Our only chance was for the SPFL to push the agenda. My objection is with the particular agenda that they pushed, not with the principle of them doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyo Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 And another question, purely hypothetical. Let's say the action is successful, and Hearts, Thistle and Stranraer were all reinstated at the expense of the "promoted" clubs. Would we expect reconstruction to be proposed, this time to enable promotion, would we vote in favour, and would it pass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote to 'call' the season (and distribute prize money) 2. No relegation 3. Meaningful talks on reconstruction to reward teams at the top of their respective division with promotion. This 'to reward' emphasis would have resulted in a more positive approach/debatd and IMO 14-10-10-10 would have been accepted have been accepted 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
policemans whistle Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Jags, Hearts and Stranraer are relegated due to the Covid virus and the leagues ending early. Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers are promoted due to the Covid virus and the leagues ending early. Three clubs punished and three clubs rewarded.

From now on whenever there is a vote, Thistle should have 2 considerations. Whatever benefits Thistle and also if possible get some revenge on those teams that voted against league reconstruction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
