SandyCromarty Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 43 minutes ago, Highland Capital said: The refuseniks must be the most overrated group in Scottish football. If every ex-Caley and Thistle fan who didn’t support the merged club all changed their mind in a oner and came to the next game at the Caley Stadium you wouldn’t even notice. Probably many of the anti merger crowd have passed on and I recall some of them went over to the Caledonian FC thread on the old HL Forum, (now the Pyramid), however that thread died in 2020 on its 59th page. Plus we have now a new set of fans who had no ties to Caley or Thistle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) Is 'refuseniks' a common term? *shudder* I thought the peice was pretty poor - and one sided. That boy crying into his match winner shirt was great telly though. Cry more. Edited April 1, 2023 by Derry Alli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems some folk who were presumably around at the time didn’t enjoy it. I have no ties to the previous clubs and personally enjoyed seeing some footage around the merger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophia Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Refuseniks was commonly used at the time to refer to a cohort, characterised by Alan Douglas who appeared briefly in the piece storming out of The Rose Street Hall, who were certainly committed but quite comical at the same time. Simpler times when "Rangers of the North" was a badge of pride. Every time I see those clips I get the reek of freemasonry in my nostrils. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict the following series of results ... W W W W W W W or if that is unreasonable, I'll settle for L L L L L W L A quick glance at the league table shows that over the last five games we're in top two form. The run of games we now have in front of us makes me think that there does remain a chance but I have my doubts on whether the wheels will come sufficiently off either the Ayr or Partick wagons.

PB1994 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I can see Partick winning 3 of their last 5 putting them on 57 points. That means we need to win 5 of our last six. I don’t see that happening. Think Ayr would be the most likely team to drop out but I still don’t think we have enough games to catch them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Nah the results went against us this weekend. 5th is the best we can hope for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB1994 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Aye, it would just be good to have a few wins in April to go into the Semi Final in decent form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityDave94 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Nah, I'm going to enjoy the chase. See if we can upset these Thistle fans, see if the pressure gets to them. No pressure on us, we aren't expected to make the playoffs. I'm not going to write us off until its mathematically impossible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthStand10 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 We need to give ourselves a chance of making it going into playing Ayr on the final day, our run is easier on paper but we’ve always had our struggles against the bottom feeders. Hendersons injury not being long term is very important too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put that down to my Presbyterian up bringing Sandy. Having now considered the likelyhood of Partick sh#@*ing the proverbial bed during the run in, it would probably be academic as we are likely to do the same based on this seasons inconsistencies, unfortunately. On a completely unrelated note has anyone been to match day hospitality (Highlander suite) and how was it? We are going there for the Ayr game, which hopefully will not be the last home game of the season... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an sme, doing it's best to be the best it can be I went once and got mince and tatties. I might've been offended but we won so that was a good night There have been other times when I have been overly indulged and forgive me but the results escape me @DonnieMurdo I hope you enjoy the event and the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune play as we would wish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 We aren't making 4th, there's too many teams with too many points ahead of us. It's not Christmas time, lads. It's April, the season is nearly finished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a couple times years ago and it was good, the second time though was at a Celtic game and I was seated with a whole table of burly Celtic scrap metal merchants, (I've given them that job description to provide some respectability). However given the clubs non communicative and disregard stance nowadays with fans I don't hold out much hope for hospitality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Talking of Hospitality, and a time when the club looked after it's fans, how many of you remember David Sutherlands kind generosity when he laid on free fans "refreshments" at the Grosvenor Hotel before the Hearts game. I recall I got 5/1 on our win, a great day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
