101. Author: Higgys Mohawk Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 13:26 bannerpar, Wed 13 May 12:49 For a young player I think Tod did alright as far as standing up to Ashcroft was concerned last night. He was on the receiving end of a lot of heavy challenges but just got up and got on with it and was still willing to run with the ball. A lot of players would have hid. Yeah that’s fair. I was more meaning he should give as good as he gets, as the refs are giving him nothing whenever he goes down. I think as he gets older he’ll fill out a bit and be more of a handful in the physical confrontations. Sometimes forget he’s barely turned 20. Reply
102. Author: ReturningParsFan Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 14:20 Final thought from me...what a terrific atmosphere from the near-7000 crowd. Full marks to Thistle fans for coming out in numbers and being heard. We were all rewarded with a great game. Just shows you that crowds will attend when the product is good and the pricing is realistic. (I don`t expect these prices in every game, the business couldn`t afford it, but I think Thistle have definitely missed a trick with their prices for Friday). Reply

How can it be right for clubs in the lower leagues to have to fund a parachute payment for clubs failing in the top division? And therefore helping those clubs in their fight to go back up? What a set-up😡 Reply
107. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 16:14 Ridiculous, if true. It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply
108. Author: kelty_par Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 16:19 After costs, it`s a 50/50 split between the SPFL and the club. It`s all well and good saying that it`s ridiculous etc, but we could well be needing them in the not too distant future and if it keeps people in jobs at the club and allows us to bounce back, many of you won`t be saying it`s ridiculous then.

109. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 16:53 How the parachute payments are financed is not as important as the fact that they exist at all. I`ve always thought that they are an admission that the split of revenue between the Premiership and the lower leagues is so unfair that the teams being relegated from the Premiership have to be compensated for their losses. On the other hand you could argue that it`s quite generous that clubs who finish as low as fourth in a league of ten teams get a chance at promotion and they should pay for the privilege. Reply
110. Author: ipswichpar Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 16:53 Is it not just favouring those teams, making it harder for others to get promoted and preventing other jobs being created elsewhere? I don`t get the logic why it is those who are competing for promotion being the ones that underwrite the ones coming down having better odds to go back up. Reply
111. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 17:01 If the money wasn`t coming from the play-off gates it would have to come from the general `pot` and so reduce the prize money available to clubs generally would it not? Reply
112. Author: doctordandruff Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 19:11 Its a con and I hate it. St Johnstone were always going straight back up. Thats 6 years in a row I think. You come down with a Premiership squad, a nice parachute payment to part fund it and take the loss hit for 1 year knowing you are going back up again Reply
113. Author: twin par Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 19:43 Yes I agree.Its definitely loaded in favour of the premiership club. The system is totally unfair. Reply
114. Author: KnebworthPar Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 19:49 Another demonstration of the corruption in Scottish football. Reply
115. Author: veteraneastender Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 19:54 Didn`t the Pars benefit from the parachute payment back in 2007 ? If so, how can there be complaints about other clubs in the same position ? Reply
116. Author: Jeffery Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 20:02 I get the idea behind parachute payments - to prevent financial difficulties and job losses at a relegated club. There`s such a financial gulf now though that it`s become a nonsense. Teams come down, retain a lot of premier league standard players/managers/staff, enjoy winning games for a year, and go straight back up. Reply
117. Author: ipswichpar Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 20:07 veteraneastender, Wed 13 May 19:54 Didn`t the Pars benefit from the parachute payment back in 2007 ? If so, how can there be complaints about other clubs in the same position ? I don`t know. Both things can be true. We could have benefited historically AND individuals could still believe that it is a daft system. Reply
118. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Wed 13th May 2026. 20:24 Higgys Mohawk, Wed 13 May 12:27 On reflection that was a hard fought game between two evenly matched teams. If only Robbie Fraser had found the corner with that chance or we were awarded one of those penalties. There were times we looked nervy and we were lucky not to concede in that frantic last 5 minutes. In the next game Tod needs to stand up to Ashcroft. Surely we won’t get a ref giving us nothing again in the 2nd leg! I think if 2 of Mullen, Ngwenya and Bene leave then we could do with signing a centre half with similar qualities to those two at Thistle. If we keep Ox, add in another experienced (and quality) CB to complement what we have then we’ll have a strong spine of experience with Gilmour, Kane and those two. I think the winner of this tie will give St Mirren a run for their money. Let’s hope it’s the Scottish Cup Winners Cup Playoff Final 😉 Hopefully we`ll have another beach ball/inflatables match through in Paisley!🙏🤞 Reply
119. Author: Parsdaft21346327964 Date: Thu 14th May 2026. 09:58 Anyone know how many tickets we have for tomorrow if we are getting the full stand or just the half they have been giving us Reply
120. Author: DBP Date: Thu 14th May 2026. 10:17 I remember the beach ball’s - Asda and Tesco both sold out of all inflatables before hand brilliant laugh! Reply
