My brain isn't so frazzled as to see that PTFC's management team aren't up to moving us forward on the playing field. Unlike yourself maybe?

Sorry, still none the wiser, and I've an ok imagination. I've asked on here quite a few times what a "fanboy" is and never once has anybody given me an answer. Still never heard the word being used in conversation only on forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 1 hour ago, Third Lanark said: The problem with that is there has been an almost penny pinching attitude for many a year at Firhill which has resulted in many seasons signings being left to the last day. This would mean having little to discuss all summer till the last day of the season. Granted the trend has been bucked a little this season with the signings of Dowds, Milne and Muirhead. But we still are well short of players, not least in the attacking/forward areas Good post @Third Lanark. I’m surprised to read that McCall thinks our midfield was good this season. It’s one of the worst midfields I’ve seen at Firhill. As some might say, powderpuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike yourself maybe? But they have moved us forward. Objectively speaking, we are further forward than when they took over. Yes it was a step backwards before 2 steps forward but I can live with that. Whether they can take us further forward remains to be seen, but we are on an upward trend at the moment.

Whether they can take us further forward remains to be seen, but we are on an upward trend at the moment. Since January we have been on a downward spiral. We haven't had a good 90 mins. From where we were at the point it has been an awful decline. I certainly don't think they are moving us forward. Initially 2 steps forward then 3 steps back. A manager who didn't have an earthly on how to fix it. We only made the play offs due to Raith Rovers' collapse. Our form from January was of relegation proportions. And witness the dreadful sequence of results against teams fighting relegation. Morton( x2) Dunfermline by 4-1, Hamilton by 4-0 and last game at Ayr 3-1, going on 5 or 6. Pitiful stuff. That is not moving forward, but going backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to refer to male fans of nerdier subjects like comic books or Dr. Who. It’s evolved a bit and now is used to denote any male having a borderline romantic obsession with a topic or person. Used in a sentence: “The Marvel fanboys from ComicCon got into a fight with the Ian McCall fanboys. No one was harmed, although several calculators were broken and Gerry can’t find his asthma medication.” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as I now read it when some folk accuse someone of being a Thistle fanboy/fangirl and they think they're making a disparaging remark, they may in fact not be. Maybe kinda like being called a "happy clapper" by people who boo Jags players during a game. Your next task, should you accept the mission, is to let me know what's the antithesis of "fanboy".

I am pretty sure the word describing the antithesis has been around longer than “fanboy”…. That word is “hater” and I believe it’s still gender-neutral. Although I’m now singing a version of Avril Lavigne’s first hit: “He was a hater boy, I said see you later boy…” and I do NOT like how it’s sticking in my head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
