36 games 20 goals Deserves a thread for that alone. Both his goals yesterday were down to his desire to score. A leader and example of the benefit of standards and positive attitude.

A nice big to whoever bought Season Ticket No1971. Refused the freebie and in turn donated to a "worthy fan".

Very interesting interview with Scott Allison

Final standings Congratulations jaggy. Great that the competition was alive until the end. Unlucky Auld Jag. Thanks for playing everyone.

Quarter Finals standings Auld Jag takes the lead. Just 3 games to go. It's going to be tight.

First erection I’ve seen since we signed Tiffoney.

I dunno, but for some reason Sneddon seems to be an easy whipping boy for quite a few folk on here. He had a couple of good stops on Saturday, again. Maybe he should have or could have stopped the first goal, which was a fast and swerving shot of the kind that beat world class keepers every week. Completely blameless for the second. I wonder how many QoS fans are calling for their keeper to be dropped, given that he was beaten by a header at the narrowest of near-post angles (our first), then failed to hold or punch away a rebound off the post after his save (our second), then got beaten by a toe poke through his legs (our third). Some people want to replace Sneddon by an OF loanee whose main interests are elsewhere. It kind of reminds me of the "foreigners-must-be-better" mentality that sees so many average players from other countries holding down places (and wages) in many teams for doing absolutely no better than home-grown players could do.

I have to say that I was a bit underwhelmed when Graham signed. He looked like just another journeyman coming to extend his career. I have to admit that (for once) I was wrong. Not only is he far more of a goal threat than I could ever have hoped for, he is absolutely committed to the club and gives 100% every game. A great player to have and probably a horrible one to play against.

It's good to be back

Over the last 20 years, one of the greatest benefits of being a member of this site while working abroad - and there are plenty of them - has been Camallain's wonderful goal videos from the North Stand. My favourite ever of these was Kris Doolan's 100th v Ross County. I'm now retired and back in the West End - but a very warm welcome back to your videos Camallain!! They reflect so graphically our collective passion and spirit for the Jags!!

I'm sure Tam didn't enjoy being injured or subsequent loss of form and confidence probably from those injuries. He would have suffered mentally I am sure. He was arguably the best Championship defender when we signed him with an impressive scoring record in his final season at Morton. It's a shame for him and the club that it did not work out but good news he has new employment with a club that pay a decent wage.

Spot the new t shirt. If you haven't visited for a while, you may see more than one. Time to get kitted out for the season. https://redyellow.org

Seconded. But remember that those guys wouldn't be near the top without the contributions of us cannon fodder types lower down. So, a big hand to all us (perennial) losers!

Semi Finals standings Back in a while with an update.

Bannigan doesn’t get the praise he deserves, boy is a quality fitba player

The draw makes its virtual return on Saturday so let's start off with a great first prize (which also helps our club). Hopefully at some point the old fashioned version will return but at the moment there is nothing set in stone. https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/virtual-50-50-draw-10th-july-2021/ Good Luck!

McCall's reaction when the fireworks went off

A great way to start the season with 3 points and unfurling the league flag. Yes the defence needs work, thought Bell was poor today, Holt put in a few good challenges. Graham and Rudden striking up a very good partnership. Good to speak to some fellow forum users before the game and after it.

end season now.

Agree, everybody who has bought a season ticket has made an important contribution by committing to support the team for the upcoming season before it has started.

Nothing against the guy, but he did sweet FA for Thistle in his time at Firhill; got paid for doing very little for too long.

Somehow, I feel this “prize” for the 2,000 st purchase is counterproductive as folk may well be holding off to try and win it. And why should that person be singled out. Without the previous 1999 there wouldn’t be a 2,000.

Congratulations to Sunday's winners (a well known poster on here winning the cash): https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/virtual-50-50-draw-results-25th-july-2021/

There will be an update very soon. It will be the most information packed one yet. It is envisaged that the information contained therein will be sufficient to be a catalyst for transitions to full membership. Keep the faith and thanks for the support.

Agree - nevertheless it was stupid by Foster to stick his leg out like that. He can hardly be accused of naivety at his age.

Is it too late to enter your child for the shot putt in Tokyo?

Oware is also one of our highest wages and while unlucky with injury even when fit has done very little. Makes sense to try and move him on though I guess if he wants to sit and pick up a decent wage while not playing there’s not much else the club can do. was a terrible decision from McCall at the time to give him a new contract when he had either been injured or at best mediocre when played

Agree about Turner. Considering the job he's been brought to do he still manages to get stuck in. Perhaps what Fearchar was meaning was he's no replacement for Docherty. In that respect a central mid pairing of Bannigan & Turner is lightweight. There's no doubt in my mind that we're using these league cup games as kinda competitive friendlies, in so much as we're resting and rotating players and also playing about with different formations/line ups. If a league game, and say Docherty was unavailable, we'd have had Sena or McKenna (maybe even Bell) in the holding role joining Bannigan & Turner in midfield.

I have just been watching the live stream on Warriors TV and would have to say that is the best commentary I have heard on opposition streams. Very fair and very complimentary about Thistle as opposed the the usual biased rantings you have to endure.

The goal from Lyon on Thistle Twitter. Great goal, good start for the young man.

Evidently the young lad's goal was a cracker. eta from the Stenny twitter account

Yep, first of all thanks BowenBoys for running this! And congrats to winner jaggy and to Auld Jag who was just pipped at the post. No third-place play-off in this one anyway so will take a shared bronze medal with BILL.H from my debut tournament!

Difficult to tell from far end but defence seemed posted missing. No cover for Jamie who appeared to have no chance with any of the goals.

Yeah. Such is the level playing field in our shitty league. Which puts into reality that 5th/ 6th next season will be a decent season.

Remember that 13 games was at least half a season in the strange circumstances of last season. Personally, I am happy that we have not pulled a Fox out of the hat to demote Jamie to Number 2 without the possibility of fair competition. Jamie has a reasonable opportunity to establish himself. Equally Harry sounds good enough and keen enough that he will be a challenger/deputy as required.

Eliminated by an own goal and a bad break after saving a penalty that wasn't even a clear-cut penalty!

OK Eric!

Indeed

Get in!!!! 3-2

Wasn't it the case that we let Buchanan go because we we're skint and Dunfermline bought out the rest of his contract?

In answer to your questions, in the order posed: 1) No 2) Yes 3) Very

Better to win 4-3 than 1-0? Maybe, sometimes. Usually, not for my nerves, it isn't.

Would that not unfairly deal with the “winning” team ? Maybe one goal advantage for the winning team and 3 goal deficit for the forfeiting team.

Bring back George Gillespie! I was surprised that Luljan Gjeloshi had a 100% clean sheet record from 2 games. I though that he was supposed to have been a joke/disaster.

Admittedly I've only seen the highlights, but while naturally there were some hopeful crosses aimed at Graham, who got in a couple of (fairly weak) headed efforts from them, there was some good overall movement and fast attacks up front. For me it's the defensive play, perhaps also the covering midfield efforts, that need to be looked at by all concerned.

Just to say great to be back at Firhill. Thought the event was very well run and organised so credit to those involved in the circumstances, though it was all a little surreal. Not much to add to comments already made on the football. In typical Thistle fashion raised expectations in first 20 mins, then the roof fell in. New League Cup set up always throws up some strange results, so lets hope there was an element of that. Thought Turner, Bannigan, Docherty, Tiffoney and Graham looked generally decent.

Let’s hope all restrictions are lifted by then so no one misses out.

Got one right at last!
