JAGSMAN1968 Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Starts off with : "The last 12 months have been remarkably eventful for Partick Thistle, to say the least. In that time the Firhill club have survived back-to-back relegations." Stopped reading there and then! usual lazy journalism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlgarveJag Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 it is lazy but sadly that's the nature of journalism these days - it took a whole month to get it written up and/or published and it still wasn't checked for veracity. I did wade through it and found some of Ian Wright's comments interesting. "My vision of the future is involving all of the Partick Thistle fans in a community structure, getting them to feel and realise that this is their club," he said. "That’s what Colin Weir has left us, he’s left us a football club. That will be his legacy. What we have to do is convert somebody who turns up to watch Thistle now and again to believe fully that Thistle is their club, that ‘We Are Thistle’ could not be any truer. then consider Ian McCall quoted elsewhere in the same rag (...concerned SPFL will be unable to complete season)... "Some clubs are worried about the financial future, but I feel in these situations, if you have a group of fans who boo and shout abuse, they are the ones who gather round when there is trouble. They are on the phones wanting to help and rally around. I think it is an irony that the unhappy ones are the ones wanting to help and it is fantastic." We are in incredibly interesting and unusual times as a football, sorry, family club. How we react to fan ownership and how we pull together in the coming months may well define the future of PTFC. The fans, as always, have a massive role to play and the idea that we can criticise our team and boo them on the park yet support them to the hilt as they are part of our family is very important. We can no longer sit back and complain about Us v Them. This truly is OUR club and it's time for everyone to take responsibility for that.

JamesCairney Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Hi guys, I’m the lazy journalist who wrote the piece. Sorry, but I don’t see what the problem is with my intro? We were relegated in 2017/18 and stayed up on the final day of the season last year. If we had went down, that would have been back-to-back relegations. We didn’t, so we survived that outcome. What’s the issue? James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesCairney Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Hi guys, I’m the lazy journalist who wrote the piece. I’m sorry to hear you had problems with it but I’m a little confused. We were relegated in 2017/18 and spent much of last season fighting another relegation. We stayed up on the last day of the season, but if we had gone down then that would have been back-to-back relegations. We didn’t do that, so we survived that outcome. What is the issue?

Garscube Road End Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Basically, just a wish list, bluster and wind. Nothing concrete said. 5 months on and still no transfer of the ground to the club. Still in the hands of TBC and our dreadful chairman J Low. Very concerning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMCF Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Given the pause since Colin Weir 's death, just over three months ago, it's understandable that not much progress has been seen. Or is it the case that the call for unity is falling on deaf ears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinhead Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 As soon as Low is away i will back this but for as long as she has her grubby mitts on our club it is not for me. These charlatans that are going for fan ownership are weak and will keep her as chairman of the club for sure. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is less than 12 months ago that we beat QotS and in doing so avoided back to back relegations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
