Tough times and vicious infighting afflicts fans of the media darling club in Maryhill:

Ffs. I’m sorry but this shite is out of line. I understand the anti-Caldwell position. I’m not a huge fan of the guy either. I’m not even that pro Lowe and Gerry as Chief Exec as he’s so far not shown me much he’s going to be an equivalent or improvement on Ian Maxwell but the abuse towards people who love the club just as much as we do is a little much. I’d like to see you c*nts do the jobs they do and succeed. I believe some on the Twitter-sphere actually want us to lose on Saturday v Falkirk. It’s truly astounding the state of some of our support. Gerry is a club legend. Just as Archie is and the rhetoric needs to stop as he and all those at the club are trying so hard to turn this ship. You don’t believe that. You’re crazy.

 

F*cking pure cowardice to do shite like this online hiding behind your sh*tey made up names pretending to know what the f*ck you’re talking about. Have some respect. If you knew anything about Lowe you wouldn’t post this bile on here, joke or not. The woman gives an incredible amount of time to the club with little to nothing in return except a passion as a supporter who’s willing to lead during a difficult period. Yes, we’ve been dreadful for 18 months, of which only 6 months of it she’s been Chairman, but it doesn’t mean they don’t know what they’re doing. When you get in a rut like this it takes perseverance and a lot of work to get out of it. I own my own business and I can tell you it’s a f*ucking grind. Sleepless nights, 16-20 hour days most nights, even weekends. It’s stressful as your responsible for people’s livelihoods. You don’t take that lightly so lighten up on abuse. It’s irresponsible. This isn’t just a game. It’s a business. Mistakes get made, that’s how you learn and I’m incredibly concerned about our position as I’ve expressed in my last posts but I don’t resort to childish and pathetic abusive caricatures.

 

The last 6 months online I’ve been really disappointed by our fans. Some on here, and I’ve remained relatively quiet, but mainly the trash on Twitter and Facebook. Don’t even get me started on WAT. I haven’t been on there for months. It’s a joke. The Twitter meltdowns are like a bunch of teenage girls falling out at a sleepover. The crazy chat with little to no evidence. No perspective. No reality and jumping to conclusions is comical. Social media is the perfect place for fans to just talk utter p*ish with no consequences to their lazy chat. Criticism is fine but we’re past that now.

 

If we want to turn the tide and assist the club to change course and correct our path, we have to get past this pathetic bullsh*t. Going after Miles Storey for example after he has actually been working his socks off for the club is another disgrace. His performance v United was excellent, especially in the first half. He also has played better in the holiday and new year period but fans barrage him. I give credit to him and the manager for having the character to continue to do so and with low confidence. Fans should be ashamed at the way they’ve treated him. I’m fine with being critical but it’s way past that if you read the crap on Facebook and Twitter. Regards Erskine. He’s one of my favorite players of the last 10 years as I’m sure he is too many but the outrage without the full picture is ridiculous. At this time we as fans are finding more conflict and jumping to conclusions. Making the situation worse. Lowe probably has nothing to do with it. So the above is shameful.

 

We’ve got to stop pointing fingers and being abusive and start being proud of this club, our history and those trying hard to change the tide, starting with this weekend against Falkirk. Getting behind the team in the stands, and when the club asks for us to spend some money on half season books or in the club store, or attending a dinner at cottiers to show support for the players we do it. The players need to see it, as that’s what proud supporters do even in the hard times. The players I’m sure would respond to it positively.

 

If this club was in League 2 I’d happily try my hardest to give what I can in time and money. Yes we’re a club that wants to be in the Premiership or competing at the top end of this league but that doesn’t always happen. It’s time to stop the negativity. It’s getting boring and I for one am exhausted with the constant finger pointing.

 

I’m a Thistle fan. I’m not always happy. Some times I’m high and sometimes I’m low but I’m always there. Im always ready to back them and the administration. It’s time we all did that and let our board make the tough decisions. They mean well and want to stop this slide. They will. But we back who’s in the dugout and who’s on the field. We have too or it’s not going to improve.

Some true classics of the genre are coming out of lower league England: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/01/08/forest-green-rovers-row-bolton-escalates-club-decides-sell-t/
 

Quote

 

The chairman of Forest Green Rovers has escalated his row with the controversial owner of Bolton Wanderers by taking the extraordinary step of selling T-shirts in support of the fans’ group who want to see Ken Anderson ousted.

Dale Vince launched a scathing attack on Anderson this week, accusing the Bolton owner of reneging on promises and legally binding contracts after the collapse of Forest Green striker Christian Doidge’s proposed £1 million move to the embattled Championship club.

Vince raised questions about the way Anderson runs Bolton and has now stepped up his offensive by selling T-shirts emblazoned with the anti-Anderson message “No Ken Do” and vowing to give all the profits from sales to the Bolton Wanderers Supporters’ Trust (BWST).

 

The Bolton chairman has responded in true Traynorian fashion: https://www.bwfc.co.uk/news/2019/january/a-note-from-the-chairman2/

(Why is it always "a note" whenever someone wants to make what they think is a succinct point but is more akin to a messy break-up from the facebook thread in the top fives forum?)

Quote

Despite what the media and Dale Vince, the chairman of Forest Green Rovers, has said about us being unable to sign players as we are in an embargo, I can confirm that we have had directions from the EFL on how we can sign players.

As regards Dale l can only say that during my several telephone discussions with him, l have found him to probably be one of the strangest people that  l have ever come across in football - and in my 20 plus years in the game, l have met hundreds of players, managers , directors and club owners, so that’s saying something! 

I have read and heard his recollection of our telephone conversations and have given them the credit they deserve and promptly dispatched them into the bin.

Nearly coming to blows over in Alloa thread:

Nah, it'll resolve itself amicably, as it always does with Alloa infighting. Disappointing, I know.

Wait, I'll go start some shit. BRB.

Edit: done. I won't survive the night.

Estate agents. Particularly in Switzerland. In the UK they have the reputation for being sharking b*****ds who will do anything to punt a house and close a sale. Over here they appear to do everything they can to avoid actually selling houses. We are looking and have tried viewing several places over the last few months. Most estate agents here will not do anything outside standard office hours(Mon-Fri 9-5). We are trying to get an appointment to view somewhere at the moment, took us 10 days to get a response from the agent who is dealing with it(sorry for the delay, I have been very busy), and she has told us that she will only do viewings between 10am and 4pm during the week. Given anyone who is going to be in a position to buy is probably going to be working then, and given the town I fucking live in is basically a commuter town for Bern, Luzern, Basel and Zürich, she is pretty much making it as difficult as she can for the vast majority of potential buyers to see the place she wants them to buy from her. This has been the case with most places we have wanted to view so far. If I do buy a house here and end up having to sell it, I will probably do the fucking sale myself rather than ask one of these work shy fuckers to pretend they are earning their vast fucking commission.

Well that's certainly not brain dead.

The guy has almost certainly just lost his career and will be looking at a criminal record and having to pay criminal damages all for the sake of £600.

A well thought out course of action.
