  1. "Partick Thistle fans have hurled abuse at their new mascot - but they are wrong" Really annoying piece in today's Guardian http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jun/23/partick-thistle-mascot-david-shrigley-kingley accusing Thistle fans of being hypocrites based on a totally unsubstantiated claim that we are horrified with our new mascot.
  2. I listened to about an hour and half of BBC Radio Scotland on the way to the game today (the bus was slow). The best bit was the discussion of Rangers - particularly Derek Ferguson talking about walking into Ibrox and the fan saying "welcome to hell". Where the the programme goes wrong is when they stop focusing on stories/ talking points (stuff like the Old Firm) and instead go round the grounds in a very perfunctory unthinking way filling us in on the team line-ups and totally inane chats with managers. I just don't care who is playing for Kilmarnock, ICT, Aberdeen, Hamilton etc... today. They shouldn't do this anymore, yes there are a precious few seconds when they tell us the Thistle team - but that's tainted by the fact that i know the great majority of the listeners are just not interested. The pre-match intv's with managers are just a string of interchange-able cliche's and are so dull and meaningless i'd much rather listen to Chick Young talk about St Mirren or his wildly inaccurate take on the Rangers situation. So..... I prefer Open all Mics (is anybody saying there is a better radio alternative?). Off The Ball is annoying but funny, Jim Murphy was good today (his PR team will be delighted be came across as human and passionate about football)
  3. More full view tickets now available - just been tweeted by the club
  4. Confused - re-newed 3 season tickets via iPad last week no problems (already received the u-16s by post) doesn't seem to me that there is a problem with Apple devices. However - thought the online site was rubbish, had no confidence in it.
  5. FFFFS! Finally Alan "the Total Idiot" Archibald has made us the laughing stock of the entire football world by signing a player that doesn't even exist! Prince Baubles isn't real - he's a fairly tale Character! What next Rumplestiltskin? Rapunzel? Puss in Boots? Bring back Brown McMaster to sort out this mess!
  6. Disapointed - he clearly had the talent, but he needed to up his game this season to make a real impression at this level and it just hasn't happened. i guess he's like a lot of talented players that have passed through Thistle over the year on their way to "other things" - Ricky Gillies, John Paul McBride, Ryan McStay, Paul Wilson (one for the old timers)....
  7. Don't think Harkins was a realistic prospect - just don't think we have the money to afford him. When they released the list of debts that Dundee had the last time they went into admin he was owed a huge amount of money (£80,000?) and that was just in the wages he hadn't been paid. Also have to agree with above he doesn't track back and hasn't really looked fully fit since he left us - however we still need a replacement for Erksine.
  8. Have to agree - we must have re-organisation to help the full time clubs in Scotland that fall out with the SPL. Ross County and St Mirren simply voted against a new league structure cos they felt they had a better chance of clinging to top level football in the current limited set up. SPL is a horrid organisation but the status quo is just not an option.
  9. Crackin' footage beautifully composed - club should try to gather all these clips together for an end of season video. I didn't really register the goal at the time - just went totally mental. Love it LOVE IT! LOVE IT!
  10. I would start Lawless for Forbes and Craig for Doolan on Saturday (just to keep players fresh) I'm sure SOD is tired but he probably looked like the strongest player on the pitch in the last 20 mins on Wed night - i don't think you can drop him and not weaken the team. James Craigan took a right kicking throughout the game on Wed night so could be a game to start Elliot. Actually looking forward to a trip to Airdrie - how weird is that?
  11. errr think this topic is a fishing exercise - nothing to see here. Maybe the OP has parental issues but there must be better ways of generating attention BTW: blllggggghrrrgh! great result tonight!
  12. If indeed we do "score when we want" then those were two of the best timed goals of the season - just before half time and then with 15 mins to go to kill off the game. A thoroughly professional performance, Hamilton to be fair played some pretty decent football and will feel hard done by not to have at least scored. 2 thoughts from today's game - firstly Archie might actually be a better reader of a game than Jackie, his substitutions are more effective and the team generally sorts out tactics and copes more efficiently as the game goes on (poss something Archie learnt from the mighty Lambie). Also the team spirit genuinely looks to be amazing - the way the players celebrated Elliot's goal was great, they were ecstatic and truly delighted for the guy. Bannigan was of course excellent.
