Really? A disastrous tenure makes you the obvious candidate? Sums Thistle up these days. Couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. I know, it's a weird situation. But she represents the biggest shareholder, was the closest person on the board to Colin Weir and it's clearly all about his legacy right now. And she's done it before so, regardless of record, she obviously has the appetite. And maybe she'd have learned from it. I'd totally agree that another candidate would have been less divisive, but I have no idea whether anyone else was prepared to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only suggesting that from the Jacqui Low/3BC perspective i think Colin Weir's legacy is a high priority.

Still worring We're bottom of the league with clearly little going for ourselves. The team, whether deserving or not need all the support they can get. That said I fully understand Jags fans saying enough is enough and not attending forthcoming games. It's just I doubt there's anyway to equate not turning up to support the team with dissatisfaction at the appointment of Low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenski Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 It's weird how some individuals are vilified, some ignored, and others lionized by the mob. The truth is probably in there somewhere, but nowhere near as extreme as portrayed... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
