While I was enduring Diocesan Synod yesterday, Partick Thistle Nil was visiting another "soulless" place, aka Livingston. The Nil, playing in their away pink strip, were the men against the boys yesterday! A 4-2 win keeps us in contention for promotion to the League of Greed, although few fans really want promotion. It would mean having to play Celtic and Rangers twice every year, and our stomachs could hardly bear that! We're not yet ready for the Big Boys, methinks. Maybe next season!
Before the match yesterday, the Italian owner of Livi had a statement read out to the crowd about the fact that tabloid newspapers in Scotland were giving him and his team a hard time. "Is it because I'm Italian?", he asked publicly.
No, you silly man... it's because you have been persistently late in paying your players wages and the balance sheet is looking in critical condition under your stewardship. We love all things Italian in Scotland! Chippies especially! We just don't like folk who make promises they then cannot keep. Stop blaming the tabloids for your mismanagement of a petty pathetic football club!
