Rednyella Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I get the comments and disappointment that we as a club don't stand up against these arseholes but looking at it from a different angle, why get dragged into the mud with these scumbags? I do think our board and admin including Maxwell hates having to bend over for these reptiles but we have to play them and therefore like with the other half of the dirt on the east side we have to accommodate their large traveling sectarian away support. The club makes money from it that helps us turn it into a positive and sign players to help us achieve our goals. If we fight it and don't choose what we want to spar over we run the risk of looking foolish and hurting the team who want to hurt them the best way we know how. On the park! Like Friday night. No doubt we should have won. It's really not the clubs fault. It's better possibly to say little and allow Archie and Shaggy to get the team ready than have us in the papers for trying to match up and fight these morons. I do also want sometimes to stick it to them but I think the club is being mature and deals with the issue behind the scenes. I don't think they neglect our support. But many parents don't want to take their kids to see the OF at Firhill. No matter where we all sit. And that's their prerogative. I wouldn't take mine to listen to their bile. Mon the Jags!

Barney Rubble Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 How much money does the club actually make from these fixtures though? Sky/BT take every one of them when they cross the river, so the TV fees are the bulk of the income for Thistle. Why does the club feel the need to shaft its own by moving them elsewhere? Has the financial benefit ever been quantified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 How so? What do you mean "how so?" it's because that's how it works. The TV company gives the league an agreed amount which is added to the pot, and it's dished out via league placing. You get one off payments for your game being televised in the cup, but not in the league. Been that way for as long as I've been aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes they do have us over a barrel and yes the deal for TV we have is shite. But it's money we need end of or we wouldn't have a league. Shite deal is better than no deal.

Cerberus Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 This game was the first time in 22 years that we've taken a point off either of the *** teams. It turns out that when they can't cheat they're actually shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one expect an emotionally mature response from the goblins to this, with absolutely no references to us being mini-*****s etc. etc. Let alone the official Rangers* statement - no doubt paying lip service to having to actually do anything meaningful about it such as banning any of the mutants found culpable for the theft... edit: if there is any that is.

dave.j Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It's reassuring to read all the posts from rangers fans on here, breaking ranks if you will, and calling out their union bears as nothing but filthy theiving b*****ds.

Good on you, lads. Gone missing again. Just like they did when their club was on its knees, just like they did when they were embarrassed by their rivals (or diddy mobs from Luxembourg), and just like they're doing now when their own fans have been involved in acts of racism, vandalism and theft in the aftermath of a match. Scum. To a fucking man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
