Pay at the gate fans paid £20 for a match that never finished - could that not be deemed a breach of contract? If it was any other event a refund would surely be due if you couldn't make the rescheduled date.

According to Facebook pages the club will be issuing a statement on this issue after having discussions with the Trust

Are we the only team in the SPFL to have signed some players that haven't worked out as hoped? Of course the reality is that every club signs some good fits and some not so good. Archie is no different to others and it's to be expected that some of his deals this month will work out but sadly some won't. Maybe as fans we could accept that and stop putting unnecessary pressure on our own manager?

What's the point of this thread? Are you somehow nostalgic for racism of the past and want people to refresh your memory? We should be glad that we've left the attitudes of old behind us, both as a club, and (for the most part) as a society. Asking people to post racist nonsense from the past does no good.

24th December........please be our 1-0 win at Brockville!!!!

Including Ross Cty apparently. On radio they said well less than 2k were there.

"Second-tier dross clubs like Falkirk and Hamilton" - Christ aren't we a billy big time? Clubs like that have outperformed us regularly over the last 20 years. They both have established youth structures that are far better than us. They both will likely finish above us in the next 5 seasons. But of course to you they are "dross clubs". It takes time (and no little money) to put in place a structure that delivers regular achievement like ICT/St Johnstone are currently capable of. That however doesn't mean that those clubs will not fall back into Div 1 in the future (ICT did just that a few seasons ago). The fans of those clubs had to show patience, so do we. I personally will applaud our board if they stick with the manager - as long as the manager is showing signs of growing and developing - I believe that will be better for the long-term future of our club than yet another managerial change. I hold that view even of we were to go back down this season.

Sadly the lack of aerial presence that causes us problems when defending set pieces is also our undoing when we have attacking set plays. As has been said above the balls in from corners were getting past the first man so it wasn't a delivery problem.

Nothing soft about the penalty, in fact it reminded me of the Scottish Cup last year v Dunfy. As soon as the striker is goalside of the last defender you cannot catch him in any way or you'll be off, double trouble if he goes down in the area. The real sickener is that they score two late goals and the press get to write it up as a comprehensive victory.....when it was anything but.

FFS get someone to sit at right-back!

Yep people are getting narked

Very lucky only to be 1 down but we are just 1 down. We can still get a result here if we sort it out in the dressing room at half-time. C'MON THISTLE!!!!

There are monumental gaps in our defense every time they attack. Going forward we are just lumping it.What a turnaround in our performances since Aug/Sept.

I went to Firhill from the age of 11 without an adult (and likewise away from the age of 13) and don't remember my age being a problem. If any kid,and indeed any adults, are behaving badly they should be tackled by the stewards but lets be careful not to class all kids who turn up without an adult as troublemakers. Likewise kids who are there with their parents aren't exempt from needing a telling off sometimes.

I remember as a young kid (around 1976) seeing Ronnie score a 25 yard free-kick for Celtic against us at Parkhead. Was there that day with my Selik supporting uncle and sneaked in my Jags scarf before proudly putting it on right in the middle of the Jungle (the natives weren't happy).

Who was refused permission to speak to any other clubs due to the way football contracts worked in the 1970s/1980s. It's very different now.

Great idea.... I'm in - £6

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-24578915 An amazing feat from a true superfan. Do we have a Jags fan of similar dedication?

Thank Christ we have Archie in charge and not the knicker wetters on here that would advocate signing a player that has been disruptive at every club he has played at ...and also has been incapable of scoring anything near the level he is capable of for at least 3 years now. Football is about so much more than what you did 5-10 years ago. Christ almighty he hasn't kicked a ball for nearly a year despite every club in Scotland crying out for a goalscorer, doesn't that tell you all something about his 'value' to football?

I think the key issue here is how we reacted in the days of terracing to 'away' fans in the 'home' end. It wasn't an uncommon sight to turn up on OF days to find that the area behind the goal had been turned over to their fans that had bought tickets 'illegally' for the home end. Of course we all wanted them thrown out, not least because the tickets said that fans in the wrong end would be refused admission, but of course the club and the police never did so - despite them turning up in full colour with strips and scarves on show. However the terracing allowed a floating segregation line to be setup and maintained and frustrating as it was for us fans I could understand why the people in charge allowed them to remain. The days of all-seated grounds make this issue a very different matter. Now you are more likely to have these opposition fans sit there in plain clothes seeming to blend in but making it quite obvious to anyone nearby that they aren't a Jag. This is more likely to result in trouble than back in the 70s/80s. When we played Rangers in the cup a few years ago the police setup a small segregated end at the north of the JH Stand and made a point of moving any of their fans to that end of the stand who were stupid enough to make it obvious they had bought tickets intended for the home fans. The major issue here, which has been raised by our club and the authorities, is of course their claim that Celtic fans cannot be housed in the Main Stand due to safety concerns - quite simply they cannot be trusted in there - so what happens when some turn up on matchday with tickets for the Main Stand home end? They can hardly move them to a 'safe area' of the Main Stand as that stand isn't safe to house them.

Willie McGuire..... .....signed from Airdrie and everyone hated him. Played badly most weeks and everyone hated him. Scored a hat-trick and everybody loved him. Went back to playing badly and everyone hated him again.

They've already rejected Celtic minded requests for minutes, correspondence and details of committee members so the rejection of this request is no surprise.

Years ago I visited Feyenoord and their players trained twice a day, the morning session was physical work but the afternoon was all ballwork. It's no real surprise to me that continental players have better technical ability when they dedicate double the time of our players to their skills.

And similarly have you personally contacted the club to give them the opportunity to address this issue?
