The other thread was an absolute car crash
I literally don't care what Partick Thistle have on their strip so if they want a rainbow or sparkles or even the poo emoji they can do what they want.

How long until they try to sign the womans world cup star player and put her in the first team squad?
Attention seeking pish I feel.

I don't see how anyone who calls themselves a bear could have any problem with it.
(still think we're missing a trick by not having a float in the pride parade 'Bears for Bears')

PR stunt
The other thread was not a car crash. It was however ruined by the 'woke' who refused in any way to allow diversity of opinion. Ironically.
Ohh that's looks wonderful. I wonder if Primark will stock them.

That shirt will look super on a lovely summers evening, wandering alongside the Forth & Clyde Canal at the back of the ground .....

I think the whole rainbow branding is a wee bit naff. However, if there’s one gay/lesbian/trans person who also follows Thistle feels a wee bit better or comforted because they have done this, then it’s job done imo. Nothing to get offended by.

That's exactly it.
It makes absolutely zero difference to me, being neither LGBTQ+, nor a thistle fan, but if it helps one person who is feel a wee bit more accepted by society (hopefully in 2019, LGBTQ does feel accepted. Thistle fans maybe shouldn't), then it's job done.
Point taken.
There's virtue signalling to be done.

Its a Partick Thistle kit.
That's why they're getting ripped to shreds, not the rainbow.
Exactly. It’s reminiscent of the Eid post.
There is no harm in it, and if it makes one person feel more included then it is worth it.
Although part of that was that they don't do the same for Sikhs, Hindus or Jews. Or even Easter.
It was also virtue signalling and while not 'bad thing' was ludicrous arse licking.
If they can get away with the mascot then I suppose anything goes.
If you went to school in the 80s. Does anyone genuinely give a shit about sexuality anymore?

No real feelings on it one way or the other, although what I would say is that;
A) If ever a club would get involved in a publicity stunt like this, it would be thistle.
B) Not saying that it's right, but I imagine the players and fans will take absolute pelters from the opposition any time it's worn.
In British football, that's a brave brave move.

Why would anyone be offended by this?

True that, just taking wondering why it needs to be on a football strip? Don't all the teams in the league already wear a rainbow armband for one day of the season already?

Muslim/Christian footballers being forced to wear branding they don’t want to when they go to work. An employer shouldn’t put an employee in that position.

Well this thread lasted a good ten minutes before descending into the same shite as before.

I never seen the original thread that was chopped on this but going by the OP's first few lines I'd assume people were offended by it.
No idea why anyone would be offended but there are people out there that are for some reason!

No, but you know what football fans can be like from the stands.

It was people challenging/asking a guy why he felt the need to call the flag "horrible" and "disgusting" at a school. He didn't really answer.
Ironically his posts showed exactly why this is a positive thing for Thistle to do, should be welcomed imo.
Although the strip itself is probably going to be honking. It is Partick Thistle after all.
Easter isn’t the same as Eid. There was a Christmas message.
Saying “they don’t do it” for other mainstream religions is surely an argument for them to also do it for them. However, such an argument seemed to be made by those not supportive of the Eid message.
Let’s try coming at it from the “great post guys! Let’s do it for the rest now hey!” angle; that wouldn’t suit the agenda but is the message they’re pretending to push.
Will leave it there as don’t want to de-rail. Religion is BS anyway, but again, if it comforts some folk..
Which is probably why they’re doing it.

Would love to see them attract a crowd akin to a Rugby 7s tournament, Rio Carnival extravagance with poached egg and smashed avocado in the kiosk.
At the end of the day it is a few diagonal lines and hopefully done for the right reasons and not to give them a bit of free PR and exposure but it's hardly going to make them better! even that horrific mascot went global and they were still shite.
I wonder if any religious leaders will be commenting?

It doesn't need to be, but then does anything?
By having it outwith that one day of the year where a rainbow armband is worn, maybe its telling LGBTQ kids that they're accepted the rest of the year too?

Dunno about that mate. Schools are much, much better since the 80's in every standard but it's still a rough place to be if you don't fit in with the crowd.

Let's get rid of Show Racism The Red Card while we're at it. It's offensive to racists and only serves to pander to the ever growing number of non-racists.
Al Needham Loyal

While we're at it, let's ditch Armed Forces Day and Remembrance too, also pandering.
On a serious note - I presume those who feel that the one day a year that rainbow laces are worn is sufficient won't be taking part in the annual FF "Poppywatch" - you know, that fun event where people watch TV to be offended at someone not wearing a poppy in the month leading up to remembrance Sunday.
