Hi Bobby,
Sorry you are withdrawing from the forum. Like you I have been a Jag for a very long time - almost 60 years. I will die a Jag!
Unlike you I have had long periods where for one reason or another, young family, money, geography or all 3 I couldn't attend matches.
I was fortunate that these periods of absence tended to coincide with the 'bad' times so that probably insulated me by preventing me becoming too close to the problem that is Partick Thistle. If ever following football was a roller-coaster experience its being a Partick Thistle Supporter!
It obvious the Jags mean so much to you and are a big part of your life so keep the faith.
Take a breather, reflect and once you feel refreshed come back!
I can't wait for the day when I travel from near Peterhead to Firhill for home games. Its a long day but it's worth it especially when we win! I smile all the way home.
Cheers, take care and look forward to seeing you back on the forum in a more temperate mood.
PS: You might also try changing your cargo to Heiniken!
