TPAFKA Jersey 2

Virtually every top league in the world consists of umpteen teams. They all seem to be able to cope with the potential for “meaningless” games. Why should our league be any different. I do speak though as a daft old romantic who still believes that there is no such thing as a meaningless game.

And in fairness me auld China, you seem desperate to give him that attention. Just sayin.

We disagree completely mate. Let’s leave it at that. There’s no facts here. Only opinions.

Eh??? This is desperate stuff. I’m far from an apologist for racist patter, but where the f**k does FS’s post suggest black people are black because they take sunbeds?? Surely the gist of the “joke” (with the exaggerated context that jokes usually have) was that Oaky would need to take a helluva lot of sunbeds to look like the chap in the photo. Think it’s funny or don’t. That’s your prerogative, but it’s not bloody racist. Certainly not in the way you’re suggesting anyway. Yours and FS’s views on this debate are polarised enough that you should be able to challenge him on the debate at hand, without sinking to this embarrassing level of desperation to score points.

Ha ha. Look at these khunts pretending they care about Hearts.

Right, just catching up on this thread and I’m about to commit the cardinal sin of responding to posts before finishing the thread. In doing so, I will probably make a rip roaring khunt of myself. I’m on record as saying I’m a fan of both your posting styles and content on here, polar opposite as they are. On this occasion tho Oaky, I think you’ve let yourself down a wee bit. Agree with it or disagree with it, the above post must be just about the most fulsome post I’ve ever seen FS make on here (didnae think he had it in him). Your response is poor I’m afraid. He took the time post what he did and it was worthy of a reasoned response. I think your guilty on this thread of posting responses when you think you have one and then just playing the “I’m not discussing this with you” card when you don’t.

Another example as if it were needed that Germany just oozes class in every aspect of football. From the very top to the very bottom. The country that should be the pro forma for football the world over.

Gary Peebles and Barry Lavety for starters.

Aye. Don’t dispute the possibilities of anything other than us playing in the Premiership next season are extremely remote to say the least. Just thought it was a strange (or maybe just bold) move. My reading of it was that they were responding to fans who had expressed a wish to support the club financially and have done this so that those fans can do so and have something to show for it, for those showing faux outrage there is no compulsion on anyone to purchase the season ticket. Re the first part of your response, fair dos if that was the case. Re the final part, not sure if that was directed at me or not, but for the avoidance of doubt, there was absolutely zero outrage in my part, faux or otherwise. You’re going to need to point out to me where I said or even remotely suggested the club was trying to rip me off. The club said season ticket prices would be the same next year even if we were in the Chanpionship?? Would be surprised if that was the case but fair dos if is.

I’m very much in the category of wanting to support the club in any way possible but I’m confused with this season ticket thing. How can the club accurately price season tickets when it is not yet certain what league we will be playing in. No decision has been taken re this season, so in theory we could still be relegated and no decision has been made on any potential change of format. So are the club expecting fans to pay Premiership prices to for potentially championship games.?

Do I detect a modicum of sarcasm here? 🤣 That’s fair enough. I thought it might have been for the NHS.

What are they raising money for?

Top Class!! 👍

Regardless of what you think of the plans in general, the massive fly in the ointment/elephant in the room is the mention of colt teams. Quite frankly, f**k that!!!

Yup that’s it. Good to get the additional info. 👍

Sorry Chalky, I’ve posted as much as I know. I’ll try to find out. The whole thing (other than the North and South League 1s) sounds f**king bonkers.

I have a friend who is involved with a member club.

Sorry CS. Yes I meant 26 games. That was typo.

I am hearing on the grapevine that the plans for next season involve the following. 14 team Premiership. A championship and separate North and South League 1s. The Premiership split after 24 games into a top 8 (SPL1) and a bottom 6 with the bottom 6 being joined by the top 2 in the Championship to form SPL2. Trophy for the winners of SPL2.. Home and away matches post split.

As if I wasn’t devastated enough not to make GMan’s good guy/wank list, now I don’t even figure Oaky’s Chums, Plums and Bums list. I’m beginning to feel all insignificant and unloved/unhated on here. As Oscar Wilde once said, there is only one thing worse than being talked about and that is not being talked about. Far be it from me to speak for Hiram, but on the subject of “no evidence to suggest the lockdown is working” or “no evidence to suggest that the lockdown isn’t working”, isn’t he just saying that in the absence of any real evidence either way, shouldn’t we have just gone for the option that didn’t completely f**k up the entire country/world? Just playing Devil’s Advocate here.

Had a quick listen earlier but have already forgotten what he said. If he said the cup win wasn’t the “proudest moment” in his career in favour of his debut for Celtic, then as a Celtic supporter I think that’s fair enough. However, if he said his debut for Celtic was the “greatest achievement” of his career, then the horrible wee ned is talking bollocks.

Hmmmm. Not a very scientific way of measuring. I reckon a better way would be to add every finishing league position (1-42) in a club’s history together and divide by the number of seasons participated to give an average league position, would be a better measurement. And on that basis, I reckon we’d be well below 9th.

I sang that at karaoke a few weeks ago. I sang it once a couple of years ago. It was actually easier than I thought it would be.

Please follow the advice. We are a couple of weeks maybe 3 behind other European countries like Spain and Italy. We should have taken action 2 weeks ago, we really need to do it now. The numbers we are seeing right now are a result of behaviours 4 weeks ago. I am doing. I’m just not convinced that it’s necessary in its entirety. But I’m employing the better safe than sorry/don’t be a khunt for the sake of it logic.

I think I’m sitting somewhere in between the “knickerwetters” And the “irresponsible twats”. Im pretty much observing all the things we’re being told to do, but I am not scared in the slightest (and I’m normally a bit of a woos when it comes to health anxiety). I’m not sure why that is but I’m not fretting at all. Maybe I should be fretting more. I don’t know, but I guess you can’t make yourself worry about something. If I’m worried about anything, it’s more the impact all of this will have on our lives, rather than suffering from or worse dying from the virus. Similarly, whilst I completely understand and agree with the rationale and ultimate goal of the actions that everyone is being asked to take, I do have some sympathy for the argument that the measures are maybe a little excessive and the ultimate damage that will be done to everyone’s lives as a consequence may not be commensurate with the risk at hand. Who knows? Answer = Nobody. I guess we’ll just all need to ride it out and at the end of it all, make our own minds up as to whether the ends justified the means.
