  1. Whatever the merits of sacking the manager, as many others have said, the timing stinks. The wider footballing public and media who know next to nothing about our run of results (and the reasons) will simply see it as "sacked because they could only run Rangers close at Ibrox" sort of thing.  

    Yet again the club is up there vying to be PR disaster of the year. If only we had a communications guru on the board who is media savvy. Someone to put a spin on the decision..............Oh haud oan a minute.....

    Thanks AFK.

    How many times have we  knock these 3 out of the cup including todays win? No hurry just when you can manage.

    Cheers

    Hearts = 1 in 15 (1921)

    Dundee Utd = 6 in 12 (1925, 27, 30, 48, 50, 60)

    Dunfermline = 3 in 12 ( 2008, 21, 23). 

     

    In case anyone is interested...

    Celtic 0 in 11, Rangers 2 in 18 (1887 and 1921)

    Am I just making this up, but in recent years have we not had a disproportionate number of Scottish Cup ties against Dunfermline, Dundee United and Hearts?

    Thistle have played 348 Scottish Cup ties involving a total of 77 different teams. Hearts (15), Dundee United (12) and Dunfermline (11) total 38 of these matches. They represent only 4% of the teams we have played but 11% of the matches played. Hearts have knocked us out of the cup 9 times, Dunfermline 8 times and Dundee United 5 times.

    From PT official site.  Common sense from Dundee. Well done!

    Dundee FC have confirmed that cash gates will be in operation for our trip to the Kilmac Stadium at Dens Park on Saturday afternoon. There will be no facility to purchase tickets in advance with four turnstiles open in the Bob Shankly Stand for the Red and Yellow Army.

    Tickets are priced as follows:  Adults – £24  Concession(over 65)/Student – £16  Under 18s – £10   All tickets will be sold through cash gates at Dundee. There is no facility for purchasing tickets online for this fixture.

  5. Just for info. I emailed QPFC  about admission to the match. Usual bugbear. Ticket only or PATG?   Their reply is that it is tickets only at the moment. They will consider whether PATG  is  an option nearer the time - presumably waiting to see how many tickets they sell on line.

  6. 27/2/1965  Motherwell 0-2 Partick Thistle.   It was Harry Davis' only appearance for Thistle at Fir Park.

    Motherwell...Wyllie, Thomson, R McCallum, Delaney, Martis, W McCallum, Coakley, Murray, McBride, Hunter, Lindsay.

    Thistle...Gray, Campbell, Muir, Davis, Harvey, Cunningham, Hogan, HAINEY, McLindon, EWING, McParland.

    A defensive mix-up led to a hand ball and Ewing scored with the pen (14).  Hainey got an easy 2nd (35) following a defensive error. Thistle were well on top by h-t with the Motherwell defence all over the place.  They improved in the 2nd half but constantly fell into Thistle's off-side trap.  A comfortable win.
     

  7. I don't know the answer to the slump in form. There has been a lot of posting recently and some posters could do with a break.  Some have been posting twice a week.  Some are posting while only 60% fit.  Some of our posters didn't even get a good pre-season due to keyboard problems. At least November sees us only having to post once a week so that will be a help. When posters from other clubs sit down at the keyboard they look as if they could fire off a post every time - even from distance.  We need to sort this out. The boys will be in soon for a meeting to show them the posts from last week and to have an open discussion about what can be done.

  8. Cumulative aggregates are notoriously difficult to identify electronically so happy to stand corrected if anyone wants to have a go!  A visual check back over goals conceded (excluding friendly matches) suggests you have to go back to September 1974 to find more than the current 15 goals conceded in 4 consecutive matches. 16 was the tally (Rangers 2-3, Airdrie 2-5, Hibs 1-5 and Morton 1-3). That's around 2,350 matches ago. But, as I say, if anyone knows of a more recent 16-goal run, happy to hear about it.
