I recently watched a Scotland match were there was a hertz flag at too ! Though I don't think that represents the vast majority of Scotland fans at the game . You will always get a few numpties carrying flags to games though that doesn't mean everyone supports or agrees with whatevers on a flag .This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

As to the champagne on ice for another day , I'm sure there's a lot of good people who follow partick thistle and are genuinely worried about there football club with its future not looking good , we of all fans should know how this feels tbh . Anyone from Glasgow that has turned there back on the old firm and all its vile sectarianism to follow partick thistle has my respect and I hope they come out of whatever difficult situation there in .

Scotland's stadiums need a massive cash injection along the lines of the kind of money spent on the Commonwealth games a few years back. The only way for that to happen is for us to get a major tournament ... the men's Euros are a no go, but what about the women's Euros. For that tournament there's only a few teams going to attract crowds in excess of 10,000 where the big stadiums will be required, but that would be a perfect excuse to chuck a few quid at smaller grounds like Firhill, Falkirk, ICT Dundee and Dundee United where the less attractive games could be played.
A total of 425 million quid of public money was spent delivering the Commonwealth games, less than a quarter of that would be massive for the quality of our stadiums.
Upgrade to the shed end at Tannadice
A new main stand and renovation of the opposite stand at Dens Park.
A 4th stand at Falkirk
Renovation of the main stand and a new end stand at Firhill
A total revamp of ICT's mess.
Sounds fanciful I know, but then they spent £14,000,000 turning Hampden into a temporary athletics stadium for about 3 days with absolutely no long term benefit to the stadium after it was all put back.

I had a neighbour in Mount Florida that's from a Celtc mad family but supports Thistle, for the exact reason you quoted.

Went through to Thistle v County with my brother and nephew, all Hibs season ticket holders. Was so nice to be at a Glasgow match without the OF baggage. All fans were warm and welcoming, surprised at the number of Celtc fans we chatted to along to support Thistle, nae huns were encountered.

Good wee club. Decent fans and a good away trip.
Missed out the top league IMO.

Every gimmick hungry yob,

Ian MaCall can give them the proceeds from his amazing book he kept banging on about that was going to shed light on the whole Hearts and Partick relegation season. If he ever writers it that is.
He was on Sportsound every day slagging off every other club Chairman that didn't agree them.
As a club, they didn't give a stuff about any other side in the leagues. Screw them.

Meh. Yet another football club in financial trouble through mismanagement.
They will survive. Another spell in league 1 if it comes to it will be their destination.

I can see why the Jags Foundation are unhappy - there's some rather misleading accounting going on in their accounts to 31 May 2022.
There was a donation of £1,716,300 showing in the P&L, but that was all used to refurbish the stadium so the comparable costs don't appear in the P&L. That means that instead of the reported £1.5m profit their operating loss was a bit over £200,000.
They've also revalued the stadium to £14,000,000 which is an uplift of the donation plus £7,783,700 - a total of £9.5m. That makes the balance sheet look rather healthier (£14.3m bottom line) than it has any right to be (IMO).
None of that is illegal but it does make the headline figures much better than the underlying circumstances.
Having said all that, I don't think Thistle look in any immediate danger.

We now live in a world where a sociopathic disregard for the wider picture and making up facts to suit whatever situation you find yourself in has become accepted and even expected. No thanks.
I’d like to think that we would not have behaved in such a manner.
