Meister Jag Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Scum newspaper, don't go near it, doesn't have an arts section and doesn't have features that involve babes dressed in corduroy.

King Kenny Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I read it and took it for what it was, a bit of harmless insight to what goes on off the pitch with the guys we watch every week.

Or the team ten years ago who won us back to back promotions? Why is it that people are content for football to stand still while the rest of us move forward? I'd argue that's more of a reason for the bad state the sport is in in this country, rather than the gentrification of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were bloody media darlings if anything. Â Un****ing believeable. I'd rather not be a family club to be honest. Who the hell wants to be like ******* Livingston and their plastic pishy atmosphere anyway? Its a waste of time and money. and this is exactly why we're ****** as a club. the club works hard to promote family values, free entry, out to schools, has a new sponsor that says its there because holds the same values, has kids zones and family days and wants to be seen as a good alternative to those other two. but the fans don't want that it if this thread is anything to go by. we can't have it both ways. the club's website promoting an article that goes the opposite way from everything they've been doing for the last two/three years is unbelievable. times change and that's why the lambie 90s and wimbledon comparisons are irrelevant. i've lived through and enjoyed those times and many before them so i've seen how it used to be but it aint that anymore.

I'd argue that's more of a reason for the shitty state the sport is in in this country, rather than the gentrification of the game. Not that you're necessarily saying it but I wouldn't say football has stood still. It's just moved forward in a wrong direction. Besides moving sport forward need not involve gentrification. For instance a lot of us would advocate the return of terracing or standing area enclosures but that doesn't mean that we'd want uncovered toilets or wish to use those covered ones at Central Pk, Ayr or Morton as a template. We're repeatedly told by football authorities that providing terracing would be a backward step where I'd argue providing safe standing areas would be part of the way forward. Sorry all that's off on a tangent but no more than discussing the pros and cons of the Sun newspaper and its readership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just moved forward in a wrong direction. That's a fair point. There are remnants of the past I'm sure we'd all like to see retained in a safe and controlled manner, but, personally, the booze culture of the 80s can stay there.

Peter McLindu Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I dont understand how after one article about a few of our current players in our squad now stops us from being a family club. Under 16's for free , entertainment (bouncy castle ect) outside firhill and now this article has came out it all suddenly stops. Need to stand back and weigh things up for a minute. Also i am not a reader of the sun but because you read a certain paper how does this possibly make you a moron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
