brian-

We're partick thistle( fans).........well moan when we can

Just,just in had a fleeting glance through this thread some of the drivel on here is appalling,Sean welsh made a tackle/ foul which was for the team he got a second yellow sometimes these things happen,if we look at his first then Archie/ jackie should shoulder the blame as it was so obviously not a free kick let alone a booking that led to it ,we obviously don't have a policy on complaining during matchtime As far as some comments re Forbes totally unwarranted he is a class above ok some times he appears to be lazy but his skill factor over the piece more than makes up for it. let's not forget that this team we have now are the best we've had for decades.support them don't slag them

I would give rowser 90 minutes in this one,he's still got it in him and deserves the chance to be in a successful thistle team after having carried us on a number of occasions

We did have Barry Douglas as a youth player(let him go because he was too small I believe) I think he'll have a reasonable career at a good level

Not disputing that regulars will get tickets but i think You're missing the point ,there are fans who for various reasons are not regular,but will move heaven and earth to attend our first final in forty years,and who knows may even become a "regular"

Also worth bearing in mind this will be Thistles first cup final of note in forty years, and we have a history of coming out in big numbers for games of note eg Scottish cup semi at hampden,quarter final at tynecastle,celebration in paisley,cup game against Ayr (when we were in the second div) to name but a few

Don't know if the venue can be changed,but I think we should be asking the question. To gauge the ticket requirements of both clubs, would it be possible to pre order your ticket requirements At £5 a ticket (fee returnable if tickets cannot be honoured) if this was done say through the month of December it would mean that the clubs,sfl and sponsors would know with a degree of accuracy what size of venue was required and have time to respond. As I've said previously this could be a showcase not just for teams involved and our league but for the sponsors

Don't understand your logic as to everyone who wants a ticket will get one,even before last weeks game the majority of fans felt that the ticket allocation may well fall short of the actual numbers required. As to getting about 5000 tickets to a ground that only holds just over 10000 ,I think we'll be about 500 short of that.bearing in mind that both teams may well be chasing a title. As to putting everyone's concerns into one thread , I agree But I also recognise that the op does have a valid point ,and being a fellow supporter I don't think a response of "deal with it" helps anyone

Sevco would've bit your arm off for it ( not that that means much)

My quote is based on many long years of following thistle,and I do know approx 10 - 15 people that will want tickets, that for various reasons can't attend regularly,a story that will undoubtetbly be carried throughout our support

At least !

I reckon 6000

There are a lot of thistle minded people/ fans,that for various reasons ( all justified) don't attend games regularly. This forum only looks towards a select minority. The venue chosen ( in my opinion) is too small to accommodate thistle fans that would like to attend

We seriously lack in the set piece department ,today I can't think of any that put raith under any pressure.

Your mates sound like fun

Always thought it would be much better if we were shooting towards the shed end in the second half rather than the first. The last few home games have been fine when we've taken a lead in the first half, but if we get a game where we need to push for an equaliser or winner in the 2nd half I think it would help to have the fans behind the goal encouraging the players. Have to disagree on that point if you heard the support for our players and the abuse of theirs today Take for example our last goal, their keeper was shellshocked

Don't think we can expect away supports to be anywhere near what we take to away games ,honestly believe we are in the top six in the country for that( ok slightly tinted glasses on)

I admire those that pay monthly for their chance to win a car,and at the same time help thistle.i have a slightly different approach to help the club. If every fan who was at the game today brought 1 lapsed supporter,or new fan to the game (equivalent to 5/ 6 beers throughout the week) not only would we help the club but would surely put the shits on the opposition I therefore require that 2500 becomes 5000 for the raith game ( who knows some may keep coming of their own will) I rest my case Ps lets make it firHELL for raith on Sunday

Don't think muirhead will get it , he's underrated and hopefully stays that way

Think jackie is a cert this month

Liverpool are a repulsive club. I despise everything about them. From their half-wit of a manager to their scumbag players like "nae neck" Bellamy, wife-beater Carrol and racist Suarez. They're the Celtic of England with their relentless and tasteless public mourning. Not to mention their scumbag, racist, theiving, murdering fans. I take it that you sit in the orange section at upton park?

For those of you who follow p&b I think we have our own version Your thoughts on who?

Hindsights a great thing but maybe if we had an Ashoka shack in the stand we could be competing with teams at a higher level, or at worst arguing over unpaid debts ( which historically sees clubs thrive) Time for change at the top ?

The manager has worked with those players long enough to know their strengths and weaknesses and work on improving them, bottom line he played them in those positions and chose the gameplan and to my knowledge he has not learnt from his mistakes ( he's too soft) As for wanting his bags packed I can't recall saying that

If we get rid of jackie it will make no difference to the team on the park (you can only p##s with the c#¥k you've got scenario) we have 2 issues outstanding jackie is too nice and the board won't invest in the club
