Tremendous scenes. Looks like proper head’s gone there

Many years ago I had family friends in Wiesbaden, who then played in the 5th or 6th tier in Germany. One of the family was involved in the club and I went to quite a few games and saw things running behind the scenes. I remember being amazed at the professionalism of everything. The dedication of the players, the faculties. Everything was run really well. But there was no room for sentiment. If a decision had to be made it was made with the only thought being whether it was right for the club. We might not be the only club run in an amateur fashion in this country. But the jobs for the boys culture and general air of total apathy at Thistle seems particularly obvious. I live 25 miles from Dunfermline and couldn’t think of anything I’d rather do less than spending time and cash to watch that shower tomorrow night

And her communications were such a joy at the time. I remember watching one with her Caldwell talking about what great things we were going to achieve under him . I thought I wouldn’t let either of them run the local village fete. She left her position on the board and then reappeared I believe. The same tired old faces round the place. A culture of underachievement. What does Archie bring to the party? Everything about the club feels like amateur hour. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if there were financial troubles. And how many season tickets will be renewed watching football on that tatty field? All very depressing

A lovely day in Fife today and would imagine the pitch would be fine for 3 today. Sunshine and a bit of wind and no rain since yesterday lunchtime. I presume the tv coverage is the reason we can’t play it today but playing it today would be fine with both clubs surely. But then sense and Scottish football don’t really go hand in hand

Looking at the efl highlights show and the Vanarama highlights we must have the worst pitch in the U.K. by a huge margin. It looked appalling. There’s no doubt it is affecting us. Some of the stuff played yesterday was very decent and it makes you wonder what we could be like on a proper surface. And as has been pointed out it ain’t going to improve any time soon

I guess it is pointless comparing ourselves with other leagues because we will never play anywhere else but I guess my main point is that it seems to be getting worse. It’s hard if not impossible to maintain any interest or enthusiasm when the product is that dire. Allied to the utter numpties running the game you can’t see any improvement. I have an interest in what thistle are up to but other than that I’d rather do the gardening or play golf than watch any of the football up here. It is what it is but it is quite depressing to think what the standard will be like as time goes on

As someone said on another thread the other day, if they weren’t brought up as a thistle fan they wouldn’t pay a moments notice of Scottish football. The standard does seem to be getting worse and being like the northern Irish league before long isn’t far off the mark. Not just that but the cost of it is the big issue. The fact you can watch Bayern or Dortmund for less than st Johnstone v Motherwell in the spl is mind blowing

Watched Sportscene last night for the first time in years. Couldn’t believe how bad the standard was/is. Dundee and the Edinburgh derby both utterly dreadful. Presumed lockdown was back on with the almost empty ground at livi. All in all thoroughly depressing. Watched it with an English mate who’s up and he couldn’t believe how bad it looks. We got talking about where Hibs/hearts/ Aberdeen would be if they played down south. We both thought mid table league one with rangers and Celtic maybe top end championship. Does that seem about right?

As jordanhill jag points out it’s too simple to blame the unjabbed for this. I know plenty of people who have been triple jabbed and are getting it and will then be passing it on. Jabs stop you getting really sick. Other than that we have to get on with it. We can’t keep opening up, locking down , opening up, tier two, tier three, opening. It will kill people every year, just like flu. This culture of fear and scaremongering has to stop. What’s the point of being alive if you can’t actually live?

Was looking forward to going to the Ayr and Morton games with mates from down south. Now it’s back to square one. Take 3 jabs, wear a mask, wash your hands, work from home, avoid travel, take a test, socially distance. And still the bedwetting continues and people can’t go to the football. We were told vaccines would give us our freedom back. When will we learn to live with this, accept it’s another thing to add to the list of things that kill people and get on with life ? Two years of this and they still can’t come up with anything better than this. Just shut us down forever cause this virus is never going away

To Rio probably not many. But they’re maybe just going to end up with herd immunity as so many of them get it. The virus isn’t just going to go away and we might just need to try and get on with it. For the vast majority the virus is statistically no risk but our governments and media have made us think its an automatic death sentence. Crowds should be allowed back. If you’re scared don’t go. If you’re not then go. I’m more scared of thistles football than the virus

One stand at the Brest game against Marseille is full. Wee nippy won’t be allowing fans in in any great numbers soon. New Zealand may well have almost eliminated the virus but their economy which relies on tourism even more than ours will be destroyed. What’s the point in living in a place like that if you turn your economy into something akin to Zimbabwe.

All the big games in Europe being played closed doors. PSG tomorrow. Bayern on Saturday. The Ruhr derby. Bayern v Chelsea next week. Why can’t thistle games be played to empty grounds to spare our few punters the pain

What a shower of losers. Just lose on Saturday and get relegation over with. What a spineless shower of wasters they are. Imagine leaving a team near the top for this. Doubling his wages I guess otherwise you’d go nowhere near firhill

I got the first part of my prediction right. Utd to go 1 up within 2o minutes. You can write the script with this shower

Utd to go 1 up within 20 mins. We’ll huff and puff a bit and they’ll knock in 2 or 3 more before the end. We might offer a token bit of resistance near the end as they get complacent and make it 3-1. McCall to then say that we looked a real threat and was pleased with the application

I’ve hated Saturdays for about 3 years. In fact any day we play

I’m really, really pleased with how they played in the second half, they were terrific, It’s the best they’ve played. We were really solid, but that’s the way its going. Shea Gordon has had a great chance, Brian Graham has had a great opportunity too.” If mccall thinks that was the best they’ve played and we can only draw 0-0 at home to the second crappest team in a crap league it begs the question. What happens if we don’t play as well as that? By that logic the best we can do is draw games against the worst teams. Sounds like he’s been on the Deludemol tablets like the clowns in the boardroom

That level of delusion sums up the clowns running the club. Totally detached from reality. We are horse manure on and off the pitch and these idiots think we are set up for the top league. They probably think we are a champions league outfit given time

Not hard to work out why these are the two shitest teams in the league

Incompetent @rsehole is being a bit generous is it not? She looks like the sort of woman you see in a Tesco’s car park reversing back and forwards to try and get the car in a space with no car on either side. Sat there in her wee 10 minute interview clips with coco the clown looking for all the world like the worlds biggest rabbit caught in the worlds brightest headlights

Exactly Gre the whole thing stinks. The most useless chair person ever seen brought back in. They sure know how to win the fans over. She hasn’t the first clue about football. Anyone who fell for Caldwell’s pish is obviously clueless. Wouldn’t have her serving the teas at half time. This club just stumbles from disaster to disaster and to be honest we deserve everything we get. We’re an embarrassing shambles

Exactly LIB . Punters need to start making their voices heard. Turning up and leaving on mass at a certain point would be perfect. There’s not many who turn up anyway so it should be easy to empty the ground. What low knows about football you could write on the back of a postage stamp

Here’s what I just sent them, Congratulations to all at Thistle, At the end of a depressing week comes the news we have a new chairperson. The return of the most useless chairman we’ve had in recent times. Responsible for appointing the utterly useless G Caldwell. I look forward to more of her monthly video interviews where talk of what Thistle can achieve will be discussed. League one is what will be achieved. The team is utter garbage. This re appointment confirms what I already knew. I won’t be back and neither will several of my mates. Good luck playing to crowds in the hundreds in league one. Yours

I know it doesn’t achieve anything and the people who need to read it won’t but I urge everyone to e mail the club and let them know what they think
