My comments were based on anger at events over the past year and on reflection we're completely out of order! Over the past few days I have reflected on my comments and the pelters I received in response - which I have concluded were richly deserved! I occasionally let my emotions run away with me as I did in this instance. So I would like to say sorry and offer my apologies. I am sincere in saying that I do have sympathy for what has happened to your club and like PT Fans you will be feeling a sense of injustice. However I hope that whatever league you find yourself playing in you win it and return to the National Leagues very soon. Its time to start a new era for both our clubs and I look forward to our next meeting on the football field. I hope that you can accept the apology offered. Best of luck in the future. A very contrite PT Fan. A Partick fan has no reason to apologise to anyone for anything. I don't see any injustice for Brechin City. Just karma. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utter p*sh. The first time around, all playoffs were frozen by the SPFL which is why neither Brora or Kelty got the chance to play each other, never mind Brechin. This time around, in a last ditch attempt to stay up, Brechin's proposal was that League 2 should become a 16 team league, which would have seen both the LL and HL champions promoted without the need for a single playoff round, never mind two. Yet in your clearly warped mind that's denying teams a chance to rise through the pyramid? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Feet Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 What is bugging me most is the thought that other clubs with ambition need to take a place in the SPFL. What this in reality means is that someone (and they are free to do so) has launched a decent wedge at LL /HL clubs to get them up, Cove and Kelty particularly but Edinburgh with no ground does not incur the same cost as others so surely have a decent budget too. Rewind pre 4 years ago and we were a pretty successful club with championships and promotions in there. You don't get these without being ambitious. Alas like many PT clubs you are only a few poor decisions away form our position. Change is coming that should help rectify the situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have just been very successful in getting corporate sponsorship. Do you think Spartans are letting Edinburgh City play at Ainslie Park out of the goodness of their hearts? They'll be paying a decent rent, similar to what I imagine they pay the council once they're back in the redeveloped Meadowbank. Many clubs don't own their ground but lease it, Stirling Albion being an example in SPFL2. So long as it a secure tenancy and they're not taking the piss geographically, what's the problem?

Play off spot does not equal relegation spot, therefore no "progressive" clubs were denied the chance etc etc. What other playoffs took place in the SPFL last season as a matter of interest? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH she is not wrong, there are too many clubs in Scottish football. There should be 2 large divisions (3 at most) and a north and south conference with teams feeding into it. I was all for the wee teams but after being shafted by them they can sod off. Clubs happy to relegate us cause they had us and Falkirk in League 1 and they could get money from our travelling support (covid fucked that thankfully) and part time clubs in the Championship seeing us as a threat happy to get shot of us and save their own bacon! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Getting relegated the way we did was shite, but every option would have fucked over someone. I don't think we can really complain too much. The club was an absolute shambles at the time and that's the reason we found ourselves in last place. Wanting to kick East Fife and Stenhousemuir out of the national leagues is not exactly a proportional response.Grow up, suck it up and move on. Bitterness and grudge-holding never looks good. We've just had an incredible end to the season, let's ditch the petty negativity and look forward. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On yersel happy clapper, you might be happy being ridden raw and be a Jacqui Lowe fanboy but we should never forget the injustice served upon us by those who were corrupt and in positions of power. If you are happy to accept it once you will be ready for a pumping when it next comes along. Stop being so limp wristed and man up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimto90 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Cove have specific investors Utter pish to suggest otherwise. If it was stenny who had a sugar daddy/s I would just embrace it and flaunt it to wind other fans up. Kelty are the worst. Trying to convince themselves they are a well run club and that's why Austin et al is there. It's a strange attitude, almost as if they are embarrassed. Embrace it and shove it in our faces until it eventually runs out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're the one parroting her cringeworthy "injustice" pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
