Watson Towers Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 boycott? Forget it. Are you really saying that if the first game of the season is at Tannadice you WON'T be there to cheer on your team? Fk that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you really saying that if the first game of the season is at Tannadice you WON'T be there to cheer on your team? Fk that. being champs will we not be at home on the first day? Jackie will probably show up and say he done all the hard work the wee dirty scrounging arab b4stard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I certainly won't be following in the footsteps of Sevco Rovers. OTIG Jackie will certainly appreciate your money! I'm sure there's a few more players of ours he wants to steal. And this has eff all to do with nuGers. Completely different reasons, just like Motherwell fans had their own motivation for not going to Tannadice. Thistle are a football team with supporters just like nuGers are a football team with supporters, so perhaps you should stop supporting Thistle, lest it looks like you're following in their footsteps a wee bit too much. Pretty sure Ibrox has floodlights too, so perhaps we shouldn't turn ours on again, in case we get mistaken for them in that regards as well. I live in Dundee and was really looking forward to going to see my team play here next season, but I won't be giving McNamara more money to help shaft us once more. All this crap will have to be sorted before I darken Tannadice again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on.As I said in another thread it would be nuts to add to utd coffers and help them build their kitty for transfers or bonus payments. Someone suggested boycotting but giving the gate money to thistle. what a brilliant message to send out to Scottish football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Are people seriously saying they won't go? I can't believe that. In any circumstance, Due to increased costs a lot of Jags fans will be struggling to attend SPL away games. If someone is intending cherrypicking away games then I can see fans striking Tannadice off their itinerary. That of course would hardly constitute a boycott. It's easy to turn what's a personal commercial decision into calling it a boycott. Any concerted effort to organise a boycott of a match would probably require our club becoming involved and most certainly the withdrawal of all supporters buses. I cannot see that happening.

Dizzytheegg Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 The idea that Thistle have a screening of the Tannadice game at the Aitken Suite or the Alan Rough (or both) and charge admission is a good one. That way we keep the money, and we can still watch the game. We should also put pillows in all the main stand seats, and rebrand it as an 'executive/superior stand' for their visit, and charge them about £50-£80,000 a ticket, depending on how much the die hards are willing to pay.

little_miss_jag Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Aye make the team suffer because of the actions of 1 man. This season has shown the difference a vocal support can make.

Gary Peebles Tackle Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I don't like the term 'boycott', but I certainly won't be going. Remember, there is a very good chance that our trip to Tannadice might be on Sky & if it is I'll watch from the comfort of the pub with a nice few beers - and I'd be up for donating my entrance fee to the Jags too.

Guy Incognito Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 If it is McNamara who is liable for the compensation rather that Dundee Utd then I don't see what boycotting Tannadice will achieve. Neither do I see a point in boycotting Utd over McNamara's daft win bonus claim - it isn't Utd who are trying to shaft Thistle, it is Jackie. Tannadice is one of the grounds I am looking forward to visiting next season - hopefully to see Thistle hump Dundee Utd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peagreenboy Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 At the very least we won't be contributing more money to them to help pay players and get them on pre-contracts. Say we do really well next season, how many more players is that grasper going to come in for? Also Tannadice is full of miserable mumping Dundonians and is pretty grim.

Guy Incognito Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 McNamara accepted the liability in order to free himself from his contract, but United were always going to be responsible for paying it. I am not sure I understand what you mean. Is there not a difference between being freed from a contract and resigning? It had always been my understanding that Jackie resigned so that Utd would not be liable to pay the compensation which would be necessary to free him from his contract, and now Thistle are saying that Jackie is liable for it instead. Maybe that is McNamara's point: if you say I am liable to pay compensation stipulated in a now void contract then by rights I must be entitled to the bonus payment stipulated in the same contract. Jeezo, this is complicated. I think I have confused myself now. Nae wonder lawyers get paid so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) Bhoycotts? We should be milking this plastic rivalry with Dundee United to increase our home and away supports, imo. We are on the up with one of the few clubs in the SPL who will have an increased playing budget. I totally agree that McNamara has behaved with little morality or loyalty to Thistle with his various shennanigans. The matters outstanding will now be dealt with in the courts unless an agreement can be reached. Unfortunately any judge will not be able to bring morale indignation into his summing up. It is down to the minutae of the contracts that will resolve this issue. Personally I will be concentrating on the football while gently winding up the DABs I know in Glasgow and keep in contact with via T'Internet.
