Pure Dead Magic...Thanks to the PTTV guys for the whole season.
Indeed. Tommy Dunnett (cameraman) is another in a long line of long standing, unsung yet heroic PTFC foot soldiers. And a top bloke too. I sat (i.e. drank) beside him on the coach to Metz. When we got back home to Glasgow he kindly lent me an unedited copy of the 3-0 Rangers on VHS. My old dear only went and taped The Bill (or some such nonsense) over the top of it!
The guilt will never leave me...I really miss Campbell Hughes. He was our "in house" Arthur Montford.
Tommy Dunnett (cameraman), Fraser Gorman (analyst), Campbell Hughes (commentary) = the PTTV dream team.
Now THAT would sell a Tag or two.

Actually, make that 1729. I've just had intelligence reports that suggest there will be at least three minky bams who shall seek vantage from the hill.

OK! It's Friday, so it's time get the Attendances thread back to the top of the list! As the latest PTFC programme showed (27th April, page 19), Thistle have contributed to six of the top away attendances this season, as well as - of course - to the outright top SFL1 attendance of 8875 at home to Morton. The last time we played away at Dumbarton - 12th January - an instantly forgettable match! - the attendance was 1530. Let's see how close readers can get with their forecast of tomorrow's attendance!
If Dumbarton played this as a subbuteo game in the boardroom they'd still contrive to sell only 10 of the 12 seats. Thistle, of course, would have sold their 7 seat allocation no probs.
1, 732.

I would back this but I think it would be impossible to get all jags fans on board. You would get the stubborn ones who follow the team everywhere who would go. Also, the supporters buses would all probably run. Get the buses on side and we would have a real chance.
Aye, you're right, but it all starts with conversation. And we've got time to debate...

These undignified jokers haven't got any power.
SPL2 my a**e.
This reeks of shallow brinksmanship.
I'm so glad we stand apart from these muppets.

Together, we've got power.
We should use it to hit back at Dundee United who, although not contractually liable, are almost certainly pulling the strings of Judas the Puppet.
A 2 game boycott of Tannadice 2013/14.
Away attendees absolutely 0.
No scabs.
2,500 @ £22 = £55,000
1,000 @ £10 = £10,000
A £65,000 wallop. Maybe even more.
Red and yellow solidarity in spectacular effect.

Fascinating post. These personal accounts bring those seemingly untouchable eras closer.

Dear peagreenboy,
I write in regards to your misappropriate use of the photograph with my friend and his 1 year old son.
Almost gleefully, you have now reproduced the image on not just one, but two threads.
Why would you make snide remarks about an individual that you don't know on the strength of a photograph?
And why, with no good reason, would you run down your own football club on threads associated with football violence?
I would ask that you kindly refrain from posting it again.
Speaking as both a friend of the accused and a supporter of Partick Thistle Football Club, not only do I find your motives for posting to be extremely offensive, but your kangaroo court judgement to be wildly inaccurate.
That boy has supported Thistle for 20 years ever since I took him along to the Tennents Sixes in the early 1990s and is a football man through and through. A wee bit daft in the heid sometimes, but in a good way, and a gentler soul you couldn’t meet. He’s a hard working boy and does everything for his family. As well as that he gives up his free time to voluntarily coach kids at grass roots level. He’s very well thought of by all in that community – officials, parents and boys alike. I hardly think he would have gained this level of respect were he to be anything remotely like the character you seem to have painted for the supposed benefit of everyone on this forum.
On a Thistle level, his loyalty to the cause is so extreme that he chose Peterhead over the birth of his first child in 2006. Both children are now season ticket holders and even the wife (who has clearly forgiven him his “Peterhead” moment) is a now a converted diehard herself. He is, in fact, a Thistle legend within a close circle in the East of Scotland.
In his hundreds of games over the years he has never ONCE been involved in ANY incident that could even remotely be associated with hooliganism or violence and for you to associate this photograph as such is, at best, misguided, and, at worst, outrageous.
On Saturday his exuberance took him onto the pitch to celebrate with his son. His “daft in the heid” side took over and he was singing “Going down, going down” to some Dunfermline fans. He’s even laughing while he’s singing it – it’s some way away from the bile and hatred surrounding the events at the Glasgow Cup Final. In hindsight, he’s a wee bit embarrassed about doing that now (time and a place has been mentioned). However, it’s hardly up there with the football hooligans referred to in this thread. Earlier on in the game there were hundreds of Thistle fans singing the same. I was one of them. Big deal. I mean, really, big deal. It really is nothing. Any one of us could have been captured in an unflattering moment at some time in our Thistle supporting history - pointing to away fans, screaming abuse at a referee, ranting at a bad tackle, whatever. For that image to be then used and abused and portrayed out of context to suit a journalistic agenda is a far worse crime.
I suspect a deep rooted social prejudice could lie at the heart of the matter here.
Surely Scotland’s already divided enough without presupposed class divisions being added into the mix?
There’s only one walloper on this thread.
And I can assure you, it’s not the guy in the photie.

Given Billy Brown's meltdown the other week, I dont fancy the idea of any East Fife players being anywhere near the standard required to play for us.
Barr is apparently a bit of a headcase as well.
Billy Brown's psuedo-seizure was classic. As for Barr, who knows? Lambie's Jags were full of headbangers as you know, so no necessarily a bad thing. I'm sure Archie and Shaggy will do the right thing...
p.s. Hi Grant, it's me, Billy!

"You Can Leave Your Hat On" was the Jess Roden Band's classic. I bought the original single that was released in 1976. Tom Jones covered it with typical blandness.
I think you'll find that the original was by the author, Randy Newman on his album "Sail Away" (May, 1972).
Stop.............
...Carry on...

So it's a post 2nd WW record then?
Cheers Willjag, we'll say that
Games were harder then played on a park nearly a mile long and the games were 4 hours each way, plus the players came directly from work after a 10 hour shift and returned directly to their work after the game, the goal nets were made of ships chains to stop neighboring buildings being damaged due to the old ball weighing a ton in the wet, moustaches were mandatory and alot of good young players failed to make the grade due to the fact they couldn't grow one
The tough tablet stones of management as read by Shankly, Stein and Lambie... -
In the 1901-02 season we got 31 points in the Second Division while Rangers and Celtic got 28 and 26 points in the First Division respectively.
True. Although we played 22 as opposed to their 18 meaning we averaged less points. This time around we could do it truly and clearly... it's all to play for...
Looking further back we truly did it 1896/97 with 31 points from 18 in the old Second as opposed to Rangers (25 from 18) and Celtic (24 from 18).
Doh

cheers for posting that, I was thinking about their head to head record and thinking Archie's must be better. a red card stat would have been good!
>>>
Under Judas: 5 Red Cards in 20 League Games (1 in 4)
Under Archie: 3 Red Cards in 14 League Games (1 in 5)
Not good in both cases.
Archie's goal difference record is amazing in comparison...
Archie's GD: + 1.71 game average
Judas's GD: + 1.20 game average
-
Judas
P W D L F - A Pts GD
20 12 4 4 44-20 40 +24
Archie
P W D L F - A Pts GD
14 11 3 0 29-5 36 +24
Judas: 2.00 pts per game.
Archie: 2.57 pts per game.
A resounding case on whose mettle has actually won this title. I'm 100% sure Judas would have finished second. Thankfully, he f***ed off and we will score an £80K bonus. What a right result.
Can Archie actually get us more points than Judas with 4 fewer games?
What will our new record points total be?
For the first time ever can we get more points in a season than both of the ugly sisters? (self edited update: actually it'd be the THIRD time ya clown)
Hopefully we can keep it going and we have none of this end of season faffing around... we need six points from our last two games...
