Bairnardo Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Tbh, anyone who is arguing its not tinpot based on potential for revenue is welcome to defend St Mirrens Celtic shop in the same way. Anyone? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 11 hours ago, Monkey Tennis said: Is it? Is it worth debasing yourself with OF badges on a club publication in this way? I'm not so sure. Elgin can't be "sure" either but they're better placed to judge than you or I. It may be that reaching out to armchair supporters of big clubs is doomed to failure but at least it's trying something. I appreciate that people who live in one horse towns like Dumfries must get frustrated and angry with their neighbours following rangers and Celtic but just telling them they're a bunch of c***s is hardly likely to improve the situation. Just repetitively posting about how much you don't like the Old Firm is the most tin-pot virtue signalling this side of "I love my kids" Instead of posting here you should get a blue cardigan, a sign saying "Matthew 12:42 " and head down to Dumfries city centre and start accosting people with Union Jack or Tricolour tattoos and say "Have you heard the news?, the good news? Can I talk to you about our lord and saviour Wullie Gibson.... " Be the change you want to see in the world! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 It's not the first time Elgin have done this. I don't think their crowds have seen any increase since they started it.Tbf even if they got ten people in buying pints and going to watch Elgin on the back of it then it would be a win for them. Don’t have a problem with it personally. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Hibs are borrowing him. Man U are loaning him. At least in US English. In the UK we usually say "lending".
