What's the most "Tin Pot" thing you've seen in the SPFL


Recommended Posts

Partick Thistle got a guy in today to tape patches of what looks like black bin bags over a couple of adverts on the side of the main stand. I assume they no longer sponsor them.

I can't post photos from my phone but, take my word for it, it's extremely tin-pot.
I've worked out how to attach photos from my phone again. This is Thistle's attempt at removing previous sponsor's adverts. 20210615_135343.jpg

I'm finding this lower case sponsor absolutely demeaning, it's a fucking farce. 

cinch Premiership

It does look odd.

Who can forget mid-2000s dalliance with SPL illogically meaning:

Normally I'd say it's tinpot and I did cringe when I first heard we were doing a dvd. But in a unique season where nobody could attend matches I can see a justification. I wish they'd used that as a selling point rather than a fightback at L1 level.

The tinpot element is the fact it’s on DVD
It’s 2021 FFS! 
Short of asking for payment by postal order with a stamped, addressed envelope, it couldn’t get more tinpot.

Think you're forgetting about the Thistle das. Have a look on WAT, there's several (or at least a handful) who are delighted it's a dvd and not a digital download. More collectible too I guess.

Relax, DVDs were the height of cool in 2004/05.

The number 55 appearing this year, ad nauseum.

Its almost like they don’t believe it themselves, so in EVERY bit of media correspondence, they have to shoe horn it in, to try & convince themselves.

That’s tin pot. 

They're flying it on flags across the unionist parts of Northern Ireland too. As a reference to a footballing competition in a different nation it's incredibly bizarre but, to be honest, quite a nice change - given that the flags normally bear some sort of reference to a centuries-old battle. Again, in a different nation. Or the same nation. But a different country. For now.

Some less than savoury posts and no doubt more to come once folk have been out drinking.

This is idiotic.  I just read through the thread and only one comment could be regarded as slightly unsavoury.  The overwhelming majority of posts were very sympathetic to Bertie's situation.

You are the epitome of a half-wit who runs about looking for things to be offended about.

No.

1. Its nothing to do with the SPFL

2. No one gives a shit about your tit for tat pish with Rangers

3. If you go swimming in a sewer and come up with  shite in your mouth don't moan about it

I know why.

 

Looking at the rest of the list I'd suggest "Because it's a shithole"

I was lucky enough to be picked in the ballot to go to Ibrox and get a stadium tour and see the trophy and it was excellent to be fair, given we couldn't celebrate in the stadium at the time we won it.

Still, this tour is nothing more than a decent money spinner for the club.
