Have they lost their minds? Celtic v Rangers at any level is an excuse for the moron class to make trouble. And you can just see some of our media outlets queueing up to swallow this up. Celtic Colts v Rangers Colts four times a year on the cheaper TV channels who won't pay the SKY TV money. And the drones will lap it up. But the social cost could be enormous.

And the chances of the game being on are? Especially if we adopt the same approach as last week (not employing USH). Temperatures to be down as far as. - 5C overnight on Friday in the Central Belt.

If you can't hold a handstand for any period of time then lie on the bed with your head hanging down off the end of the bed. Gravity is a wondrous thing. GWS.

Might be worth noting that the article was published in The Spectator. The same mag/rag that published an article by Mary Wakefield describing how hubby Dom Cummings was incapacitated by Covid while the same bloke was out on epic motorway journeys to the Far North.

This should be simple. It's a football association. Members should be asked do you want to play fixtures? If the answer is no, step aside, move to the back of the queue and let those who can and are willing participate. Its a bit of joke teams (Ayr Utd?) saying we can't play unless the govt provide financial assistance (not going to happen) and those blocking teams preventing others from playing.

First every death is a multiple tragedy that simple numbers cannot even begin to convey. I also wonder, in suggesting that attendance be restricted to those under sixty, if the writer has a clear understanding of the fan profile of those who attend Thistle fixtures. I don't mind paying for a Season Ticket, last season and for 2020/21. But I do draw the line at the suggestion of naked ageism (which would in fact place the business at risk of legal action against it)

This may be about survival. Looking clumsy or doing the ugly to reveal the awful things that some people - SPFL management group - are doing is necessary. People in our organisation are going to suffer, many of them monetarily. But hey, let's give the SPFL plenty of room to wriggle out of what they have created? As I said perhaps it's time to pick a side because the SPFL have drawn the line in the sand.

I'm impressed with how you put "clumsy" and "SPFL" in the same sentence without actually connecting the two. If you think that the enemy is within then that's old news and actually helps only the SPFL. This is a group who need seriously looked at and to provide them with a smokescreen is unbelievable (except that it happens here too often), this shooting ourselves in the foot while others are busy stabbing us in the back. It may be time for some people to pick a side. And in this case the sides are PTFC v SPFL cabal Ltd.

It's difficult to beat eleven players +2/3 of an officiating team who could barely be described as competent.

You may be pointing your guns in the wrong direction here. So let's focus on the real villains, the management of the SPFL. This group have most assuredly mis managed a crucial vote, been less than open with a so called "investigation" (did anyone actually get to read their report?), misdirected the football community with a potential reconstruction and now pretty much unilaterally vanished their own reconstruction. Now their are more important issues according to them. Well perhaps there are. But the issue is would you trust any of the current "leaders" of the SPFL to deliver us from the crisis? The recent track record indicates that there is further calamity down the road. But the likelihood is that the last people to ho down when it's all collapsing are the management of the SPFL having become massively skilled at ensuring their own survival at whatever the cost.

I have not followed all of this debate. Regularly however I see mention of clubs not surviving in the near future. And this might have an impact on where Thistle might find themselves plaui g and the structure of the leagues. My question is, who are these clubs in peril? Clearly during the "Votegate" affair representatives of Inverness stated that they had "one knee down". But are there significant others who may just vanish? And please no daft Parkhead driven the lights are going out at Ibrox stuff because its just part of their on-going boring spat and I can't really get enthused for any more of it.

Section 5 Essentially no pubs open or large gatherings /events for the foreseeable. If they can't open the schools before August (?) then sadly football is probably much further down the list.

Here is the problem. No-one really cares outside of Scotland about Scottish football. Looking around, the only mention of the current events that you might see is in The Guardian. Because it attaches the name Steven Gerrard to the story. And the reason for this irrelevance is simple Scottish football is built on hate. Celtic hate Rangers. Rangers hate Celtic. Most other "football supporters" hate the Old Firm. Hearts hate Hibs. The feeling is very mutual. And all those fine folk from Edinburgh hate Wee Gees. Dundee hate Dundee Utd. And it seems that Dundee Utd actually hate each other. People from the City of Discovery regard their neighbours in Perth with utter contempt. Aberdeen hate everyone who is poorer than they are. I could go on. Morton - St Mirren, Hamilton - Motherwell, Killie - Ayr - Queen of the South. And who can explain the mystery of Fife? And on a national level we, allegedly, all hate England. It is poisonous and like everything when you are addicted to poison it will reduce you and then it will kill you. And when did hate ever help us overcome adversity? Did Manchester Utd rely on hate to rebuild from Munich? Did the community of Liverpool F.C. recover from Hillsborough through hate? So I'm not going with all this Get the Board. / Sack the team. / Penalise every other footballing organisation in the country because I am angry. Because, in the words of the Twelfth Doctor "Hate is always foolish. Love is always wise." I love my team. I reject all the hate and fear that created this current situation. Today I bought my season ticket. Onwards

This comment was sent in the 1950's and has only just arrived at weareetc. Fully expect a follow up requesting that it be ignored in the mode of the current era.

The carrot for some will be "vote for the proposal, you get the money and the possibility of reconstruction. Which will buy the vote of second place clubs except the FOD . But after thirty seconds of possibilities things will be "just too difficult to reconcile. And by the way Ms Budge, sue us if you like but you really don't have the money to sustain that .....
