The only way to show that we are better is to behave with honour, dignity and integrity. We should therefore accept the trophy, perhaps like Hearts not with complete enthusiasm, but certainly with good grace! Agree with all of that, and especially with the part in bold. No need for any broad grins or smiles; just polite and silent acceptance (other than perhaps a simple "Thank you") would get the message across.

Garscube Road End 2 Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 All this banning SFA,SPFL is just extreme childish behaviour. Spitting the dummy out just shows we are just as low as the authorities. I don't think they will lose any sleep over this. Once again it shows how amateurishly Thistle are run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowenBoys Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 We have to move on from here sometime. I would prefer it to be now. By all means keep them away from the trophy presentation, by agreement. Make a point, drop the bitterness and move on. Banning them is Rangersesque. The only way out now will be for the club to relent one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earnock Jag Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 I think we are correct in banning the SPFL and SFA from this seasons presentation but now that we are back in the division from which we were demoted we should move on and invite them back next year to present the Championship trophy!

I hope that's what's meant and that's what will happen. I agree the latter would be rangersesque. If it's the former I personally think it's a reasonable action to take. Make your point and move on. If the SFA/SPFL raise the issue after that it's them who'll look churlish. Of course not allowing them access short or long term is hardly living up to our Cuddly Toy image. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianlucatoni Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 I agree with LIB - a good unanimous decision and no doubt club insiders will have been exposed to more incompetent administration than we found out about - ok for presentation and will make a point. But then move on thereafter. However, never forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First section is all about Thistle Darryl Broadfoot is a tadger, always has been and always will be. I think what we're doing is the right thing to do, have our trophy presentation and let the players have that and their medals but don't let the SPFL be any part of it. Once that's done we have made our point and we move on and it's done. No need to extend this ban any further than that as far as I'm concerned and it seems the club are of the same opinion.

laukat Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Listened to McCall's interview on sportsound and thought he handled it well. Clearly a bigger interview with Tom English to come which may put more detail on what happened. Can't believe Doncaster sends a text saying worthy champions, he could have at least tried to say something more concillitory or tailored rather than a generic text that he must send out to all league winners every year. I think the club are correct to not have Doncaster or some other SPFL flunky present the Trophy on Wednesday. However I would like to think they could have raffled the prize of presenting the Trophies so that a fan could have done it and the club could have made some money. If we ever win the Championship I'm more than happy to have Doncaster back to present the championship. He should face the wrath of the the Thistle fans and it will easily sell a few more tickets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagged Edge Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Any decent child psychologist will tell you not to reward bad behaviour. Allowing Neil Doncaster to present the League 1 trophy would have been to reward his bad behaviour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiledjag Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 I have said my piece previously about how I think the club should behave. I see nothing in this action which contradicts my views about behaving with dignity and integrity by: - accepting the trophy and therefore recognising all the hard work of everyone at the Club ; they deserve their moment! - making the point about being wronged and not wanting an SPFL/SFA presence.; don't forget it's not just about relegation there is also the unfair distribution of Government money; - its too soon to forgive and forget but after presentation we must move on. Just a couple of final points - being mischievous, I think I would have been nice for SPFL President McLennan to present the Trophy in full view of the press; that would be a good dose of humble pie for him And When Dundee and Raith next visit can we ban Nelms & Clark? This would also be nice but probably not consistent with moving on! Come on the Jags! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Perhaps we should just have let Doncaster turn up at Firhill........., "Sorry, Neil, we've already done the presentation.

scotty Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Just one thing that's got me thinking. As it's the SPFL's trophy, how are we getting our hands on it? Have the blazers sent it to Firhill before we banned them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
