Suspect it's related to the same cull that happened with Soccer Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Swanson took up a new job. I’d imagine this is them modernising and giving equal opportunities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 From the BBC website, this gem amidst an appalling Championship preview: "Partick Thistle were relegated to League 1 in the cruellest of fashions when the pandemic struck, sport was suspended indefinitely, and formulae rather than football decided league placings." Even if we ignore how badly punctuated it is, we're left with the content. Thistle's relegation apparently had nothing whatever to do with football. It's just staggering. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky sports news is just basically a 24/7 advert for games the man sports channels are plugging. Ultimately they could operate with no actual front of camera staff and it would make little difference. I doubt the channel itself makes much money, so maybe these guys have gone as part of an overall tidy up. You would be amazed at how low Sky sports news and Sky News's viewing figures are.

They were unlucky and we were bloody fortunate. It's the suggestion that relegating them was arbitrary or corrupt that was stupid though. It's irritating that a 'journalist' can still imply such nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably make the argument that every league table is decided by formulae, if you wanted to pull on that particular thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. The whole thing is a construct. I just love the notion that Thistle were somehow relegated via the luck of some draw, rather than in relation to what had unfolded on the pitch for several months beforehand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a situation to absolutely be sympathetic with but you draw a line at the point people think it was some sort of premeditated injustice put upon clubs. If I was being cynical I’d say thistle and hearts have identified this ‘siege mentality’ as a marketing tool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
