Just curious about a comment above that caught my eye (AUFC live stream available). I thought perhaps it was a reference to subscribers outside the UK and Ireland, so I looked at Ayr's OS. Lo and behold they are advertising their next live screen being for 5 November. No mention of restriction if you live in the UK. I thought live streams were stopped this season.

Please don't have thoughts like that!

I emailed Accies on Wednesday asking the very same question. Still waiting on a reply. If they can't be bothered to reply I may not bother going. Their loss.

You've probably thought of this, of course, but there's always the official history book.......
Thanks, Jaggernaut but the match isn't listed.

This is a long shot (as long as a Jackie Husband throw-in) but to try and bottom out the line-up and used subs for this friendly with Stenhousemuir on 6/8/1973 does anyone have a programme for the next home match (either Dundee Wed 15/8/1973 or St Johnstone Sat 18/8/1973)? Hoping there might be a report and line-ups for the match. If so, please PM me. Thanks.

If the new majority shareholders decide to reach out to the trustees (ie, ST holders, most of whom like me never knew they were trustees in the first place), would be illegal to obtain a list of ST holders' e-mail addresses from the club under the current Data Protection laws? If so, interested to know how they will" communicate".

If it's the Cloudflare 520 error, I've been getting it on the mobile a lot recently. I cleared the cookies and it's not reappeared. Maybe worth a try ....
Correct. Everything else working fine. The message says it's a problem with the host.
Admin: What's being done to investigate and rectify?

Thanks MJ. Tried switching to Chrome but, as with Edge, still getting the error message intermittently. Noticed this problem started as the views on the share stuff rocketed. May just be coincidence of course.

Anyone else being bombarded by error messages saying there is something wrong between the site and the host? I'm using Edge and can get all other sites no problem.

Don't think it's alphabetical FT. All other things being equal I think it's down to head to head(s).
Reminds me of the old joke about Rangers and Celtic finishing joint top of the league at the end of a season. Same goals scored, same goal average. The two matches that season ended 1-1. The SFL hold crisis talks and agree they cannot be separated. They announce to the press that they have decided to go alphabetical and announce Rangers FC are the champions and The Celtic FC are runners-up. (Have a look at their club badge.)

The prevailing view on here is that the recipients of the shares will be the PTFC Trust and that, it's fair to say, doesn't look like being a very popular decision if it comes to pass. Curious to know what the reaction might be if, say, a group of Jags-supporting business people had got together and put themselves forward and been chosen - perhaps with the intention of putting money into the club. Could Woodstock Jag offer a view as to whether Colin Weir's vision of a fan-owned club would be satisfied under these circumstances? Is there a definition of "fan ownership"?
A purely hypothetical question. I have no inside knowledge as to who the chosen recipients are.

Exactly. And the demographics of attending football fans are not representative of the UK as a whole. Everything from age, to gender, to income, is massively skewed compared to the population as a whole.
For all the inclusivity stuff that we witter on about, we don't seem to pay much mind to those (albeit small number) people (mainly older) who, for whatever reason, do not have access to the technology necessary to purchase e-tickets and so on.
And the simply fact is, it does impact numbers. Sometimes at 2pm when I'm leaving for Firhill, my old man will drop me a text and say he wants to tag along as well. Fantastic! But now, unless I have his ticket all pre-booked for him, I'm not confident whether he will get a ticket outside the JHS, nor whether he will get into the ground on time. And for away fans - forget it!
It might seem like a small thing, but it is something I'm really passionate about (and will bring up with TJF). It's just another example of the traditional aspects of football being eroded away in the name of convenience with little thought for those fans who were once the pay-at-the-gate punters who kept this bloody club going over the past how many years.
The hot topic of the moment! OS now has info up about QP next Saturday at Stenhousemuir. All very helpful etc etc BUT no mention if there is a PATG on Saturday (and whether they accept cash). Do they not realise that there are people (eg Y&R's dad) who wake up on Sat morning and decide because they are free after all or because the weather forecast is good they'd like to go to a match? As the vagaries of the Scottish climate become obvious as autumn and winter approach, weather on the day of a match can often be the deciding factor. I shouldn't have to contact QP to get an answer to my question. PT staff are not entirely innocent either. Why can't they ask the question when the home team supply them with the details? Never ceases to amaze me the lengths Scottish football will go to to deter people attending.

Always remember Davie McParland's one and only sending off, when he got hacked down by a Porkheider at Firhill and then got up fast and looked at his assailant right in the eye. "Oh this won't do at all!" thought the referee (somebody deservedly forgotten), who deemed that this "retaliation" was an immediate sending off offence. Don't remember if the real swine got sent off as well, but somehow I doubt it (should be verifiable in the newspapers). To this day I swear that I saw tears in his eyes as DMcP started his walk off the pitch, due to the injustice ( was near to where the action happened).
Had the privilege of talking to him about it decades later in the AR Lounge (along with many other more interesting topics), and it was clear that, despite his exterior calmness and diplomacy, he was still raging about it.
Could have happily talked to him all day and all evening.
Don't know how many yellow cards (or "bookings" as they were known before cards were introduced) the Legend received.
In my book, theee top Jag of my lifetime, though there are several others not far behind.
Shameless plug for extract from "You Couldn't Make It Up" in The Thistle Archive...
In 595 matches there is no record of mild-mannered Davie McParland ever having been booked. He was sent of against Celtic at Firhill on 14/10/67 to spoil his previously unblemished record. Your researcher is still seething! The alleged offence of retaliation was the mildest of reactions when Celtic player Wallace lunged at him. As they trooped off embarrassment must surely have been overwhelming. They were Chair and Vice-Chair of the SPFA (players' union) at the time.

Shameless plug from The Thistle Archive.
Thistle legend Jackie Husband was always known for his long throw-ins. Proof - if proof were needed - can be found in the "Kinematograph Weekly" newspaper of 21/10/1948. In their review of the latest sporting educational film releases "Lesson Group E -The Throw-In" featured close-ups and long-shots of "J Husband Partick Thistle and Scotland" demonstrating the skill.

Shameless plug for "You Couldn't Make It Up" extract from The Thistle Archive...
Ah, the witty banter of the football supporter! The 2-1 defeat of Dundee at Firhill on 14/4/2007 was also memorable for the red card for Dundee's Alex Rae. Always a ready target. He claimed afterwards that he had made just 3 tackles and had been booked for two to them. This cut little slack with the Firhill faithful and the "Glasgow Herald" reporter was able to repeat one of the more printable taunts "Even yer maw an' yer da' hate ye!"

lt should have been 4. He missed a penalty.
Was this not the game the public address operator was ejected from his booth adjacent to the away support having had "words" with a Thistle fan?

A German student where I used to work told me there are only 3 laws of football in Germany,
The ball is round. A game lasts 90 minutes. Bayer Leverkusen must never win the league.
She told me they were hated for selling out their birthright to chemical company. The same may now apply to RB Leipzig.

Info on PT OS just says no cash gate. Once again, not at all helpful! Does it mean literally no entrance without a ticket OR entrance on the day can be by card but not cash?
I phoned RRFC. Entrance to away end is by ticket only. No cash or card gate. I was told there is no facility to buy a ticket for the away end on the day. Ticket sales on the day are for home fans only.
