Lindau Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Afraid we will probably get club policy here but will be delighted to be proved wrong!! Jackie has already had his say on yet another part of the Southside Scandal http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/2012/06/20/ex-celtic-star-jackie-mcnamara-i-would-take-no-pleasure-in-seeing-rangers-stripped-of-their-winners-medals-86908-23898362/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Murray Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Beattie and Mcnamara should be keeping quiet on the whole situation and see what develops. All what has been achieved so far is stopping people buy season tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) Beattie and Mcnamara should be keeping quiet on the whole situation and see what develops. All what has been achieved so far is stopping people buy season tickets. Correct. Not the best bit of business by the Chairman, it has to be said. Having said that, if he were to come out with a statement now to the effect that based on Thistle fans' comments, PTFC would not support an automatic entry into Div. 1 (or a newly named though essentially unchanged SPL2), then there would probably be a surge in season-ticket sales.

Lionel J. Botch Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Jackie says Beattie has been misinterpreted over his statement according to a reply to a text sent to OTB I think this is correct. The ET putting their own spin for their own ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Passenger Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I think that's a load of p*sh. Yesterday's statement in no way distanced Beattie from the quotes. His opinion appears clear to me; give us league reconstruction and we'll take Rangers in the second flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I think this is correct. The ET putting their own spin for their own ends. Mmm maybe but the recent statement on the OS dampens any enthusiasm over a possible misinterpretation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Beattie has to immediately release the 'No to Newco' statement otherwise he is in danger of destroying our season before it begins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cup Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Jackie says Beattie has been misinterpreted over his statement according to a reply to a text sent to OTB Total rubbish from Jackie. I understand if he is covering for Beattie but I would like to hear in what way his several points on the matter have been misinterpreted.

Fellow Traveller Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 It was rubbish, but diplomatic and sensible rubbish (?). The last thing we need is manager and chairman being publicly split on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Jackie did start off by saying he was against Rangers in the first and has said that all through the programme so far. What did you expect with the Beattie question ? No way on earth is he gonna call out his chairman on national radio IMO. Fudged it pretty well tbh , although I think Chris jack at the Eventing Times may be getting a lack of stories from Thistle for a wee while.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I might have misheard this but I thought Jackie mentioned a 23 club in favour vote was required in the SFL to allow the newco into the first. That's a 75%+ vote. Even if we thought it the greatest idea under the sun to vote them into Div 1 surely we could only muster 9 votes in favour? Why would any of the 20 Div2 & 3 club chairmen want to miss out on newco visiting their leagues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinny Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Why would any of the 20 Div2 & 3 club chairmen want to miss out on newco visiting their leagues? Not answering your question, but wouldn't it be terrible/funny if you were a 2nd div chairman who voted for Newco to start in division 3, only to get relegated as Rangers get promoted?

Thinking of any sevco 5088 supporting Airdrie Utd chairman in particular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
