  1. Seems as if he's had a really good season with Raith and has been rewarded with a move to a bigger club. Delighted for the boy. I still think we were a bit too hasty to get rid of him, especially considering what a poor season Welsh has had.

     

    i miss jimmy

     

    as young imac states, we were probably wrong not giving him another year. while i like welsh as a individual, and fact he has been dreadfully unlucky with the sicknote years with little game time, there is no disputing that he has been overall underwhelming this season, despite being a near ever present ..... the talent and footballing brain he showed in our champion winning season, has not transferred itself to the premiership.

     

    i know some may argue craigen didn't manage the step up either (though i respectfully disagree with that viewpoint), but i personally would have preferred to see jimmy play in almost every game that welsh has featured in this season ..... he has an energy and speed and bite and for want of a better expression a "nuisance value" that welsh doesn't have or hasn't shown anywhere near enough ..... plus i think jimmy would have worked better (than welsh has) alongside our new signings this season like amoo, dumbuya and pogba. but archie can't get it right all the time, no one can, such is nature of football.

     

    guess the hope we must hold out for is with another year on his contract welsh can eradicate his shortcomings for example cut out his slow pondering on the ball and get up to speed of this league and be the influential player we need him to be, otherwise he'll end up having to drop a level to a morton or queens type club.

  2. so the earth is flat, hmmmm?

     

    let's for a minute imagine i haven't had chewie and hapless hans do a flyby of earth in the millennium falcon with me in it, or that i've never visited the earth from space, or seen it in rear view mirror of the falcon as i've left it to train jedis in other galaxies ..... and i am only a mortal human whose feet has never left the ground.

     

    in that imaginary situation now are we, good, begin i will.

     

    if the earth is truly flat .....

     

    what does the flat surface of the earth sit on?

     

    or is this flat earth floating around on? water, or is it space, or what other entity or substance?

     

    if antartica is a wall, the edge of the world, what is beyond it that the military are guarding? and does antartica surround the earth on all four sides, and if it does can you show me how? if it doesn't surround the flat earth, why doesn't the water in the oceans drain away by falling off the edge of the earth?

     

    that bright burny looking thing in the sky that we sometimes see, that rises on one side of this flat earth, travels slowly across sky and then sets on the other side ..... is that a real round planet of fire, or is that flat too, or is it a cgi effect projected on a big screen canopy that covers the earth? and if it is not fake, how does the burny bright round planet jump from one side of the flat earth when it sets back later to where it rises again next day ..... does someone switch the burny light off or does it have a cloaking device?

     

    same goes for all these other allegedly round planets people see in the night sky ..... are they not round either or like the often rarely seen bright burny thing are they projected onto this big canopy screen that covers the flat earth like a roof?

     

    and if it isn't a real galaxy we see above us and other galaxies we see from standing on this flat earth, and these are not real planets, stars, and galaxies we see, but are in fact cgi on this big canopy screen, who invented this technology and how many millions or billions of years ago was it constructed?

     

    i've many more questions but specific answers to these questions will do for now.

     

    thanks in advance, now let us pray for the truth to come out.

  3. Jean Claude Junker is a shape shifting lizard and Angela Merkel is an out of control cannibal lesbian android originally built by the Stasi to lure dissident perverts who escaped the facility when the wall came down.

     

    The world is not flat, it's a computer simulation programmed by evil death aliens who keep your brain in a jar in a huge hanger on the dark side of the moon!

     

    Don't believe Sabbath... he is one of them.

     

    ^^^^^ all true it is

  4. my fellow jags ..... today ask not what your club can do for you ..... ask what you can do for your club.

     

    today sees the visit to our glorious home from one half of the dark side, a odious club with a support averse to using soap and deodorant, a club that is the antithesis to what we are, believe in and stand for. they are an enemy who attract the brainwashed, the uglies, the unwanted unwashed, and they will come to our home in large numbers and occupy the jhs territory of our galaxy, outnumbering our red and yellow army ..... but we have greater spirit, we have greater values, we have the jaggy force on our side ..... plus we have alan archibald, kris doolan, tomas cerny, david amoooooooo and many other great warriors on our side.

     

    so, a plea to every jagite i make ..... let us repel these unwashed invaders, on the pitch and in the stands ..... strong in number they may be, but they have a weak centre, led by a weak manager who will be replaced soon.

     

    so players, get into them, don't give them any quarter, let them know they are in a battle, fight to your maximum capabilities, and they will crumble while we shall be victorious. in our last skirmish we were on verge of a famous result, where barring a late slice of luck for them,, we showed a fight, determination and style of battle that has been missing for many years recent in confrontations with them ..... the green dark side are there for the taking, we can win and win well today, so let's believe.

     

    and to every jagite in the stands ..... this is our home, we will occupy two out of three sides, let us all in the stands attending today silence the jhs territory, every jagite sing your hearts out for ninety plus minutes ..... let's see the excellent main stand be a cauldron of red and yellow noise and colour ..... and north stand attendees, you have been often magnificent, but today, raise the bar to new heights ..... be louder than that night we killed off the moronic mooreled morton, be that twelfth man to the team that you have often been in the past, let's see the northy be shaken to its foundations, be proud to be a jag, supporters of glasgows oldest surviving professional football club,

     

    let us observe today not just a victory of three points, but a celebration of freedom, free thinking and triumph of good over evil ..... symbolising an end, as well as a beginning ..... signifying renewal, as well as change ..... for i have sworn before you and almighty kingsley the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and two score ago.

  5. Would like to see us give ourselves a real chance in this one and go 2 up front.

     

    As you say we have nothing to lose and nothing is expected of us. Yes, a heavy defeat would be horrible but I honestly don't think Celtic are capable of doing that to anyone at the moment.

     

    We'll probably never have a better chance to beat them than we've had this season, and this could be our last shot at them, so I'd happily accept a defeat as long as we have a go at least.

    If big Pogba has anything left in the tank I'd like to see him start - he caused Celtic some problems in the last game at Firhill. A front 2 of him him and Dools could cause them problems with Pogbas presence and Dools finesse. We really should have taken something from the New Year game so lets hope we can get something out of this before our games against the teames below us.

     

    ^^^^^ wise old men

  6. On a related theme, at kick-offs why do we always float a hopeful high ball down the right wing? We have been doing this since Brian Whittaker used to fire long crossfield punts for Bobby Houston to chase in Bertie Auld's time....I can't remember us ever actually retaining possession and on Tuesday night we put the ball straight out of play from a restart. We would be as well trying the Rugby tactic of aiming to kick the ball out by the corner flag to hem the opposition back in their half...or even better take them by surprise by dribbling and passing the ball up field straight from the kick-off

     

    novel idea from leftfield but it will never catch on.

     

    same as a keeper booting ball away from the mass of players congregated in a ten by ten metre square area, with preplanned runner or two ready to bolt after it, will never take off.

  7. Got a spare ticket for the game on Saturday available obviously at face value. PM me if you're interested. Can hand it over in Glasgow in the morning tomorrow or Edinburgh shortly before the game.

     

    a jinx and a curse you are ..... from now on, attend only friendly matches, permitted you are :evil:

  8. Lets face it most non Celtic fans aren't really bothered, the real test will be the first Celtic v Rangers next season and what the Celtic programme prints.

     

    really? plenty thistle supporters and other non green arse cheek supporters i know are firmly of opinion the club formerly known as r*ng*rs died in 2012 and the club that now operates out of ibroke is a club with less than four years history ..... regardless of what the new club is supposedly called or who they pretend to be.

  9. I wonder what will be next. A flag or a t-shirt would be my guess.

     

    this saturday ..... it is to be foam hand with middle finger extended ..... perfect for waving in direction of the unwashed and giving them a huge girfuy with each of the four goals we're going to score against them.

  10. Lucky we don't have any Irish players in the team so the supporters can show what a class act they are. But yes, a good gesture from Hearts towards us.

     

    agree i do with you your earlship..... though it is to be hoped they have nothing against the welsh ..... or ex hibees either :blink::frantic:

  11. to be fair to the young twinster, he does live in a galaxy far far away, and his opportunities to see the thistle are rare ..... so while i would never deny him chance to see the jags, given the choice, i'd rather he attended a match vs any of the top three, than any others.

     

  12. mr mac and mr resigned ..... the zombies are showing their lack of class already

    wishing a leg break on him, unsubtle paedo insinuations, he's a ira supporter with an inbred sister, a spastic, where he went to school and more are all there ..... and that's only the first page of thread i've read.

     

    so much anger and hate from the dark side, why do earthlings let these zombie creatures live? can't you not even deport them to another planet (preferably barren with no oxygen)?

  13. has likely opened himself up to being a target for neanderthal zombies, but not often you see a current pro come out with the truth that the tainted establishment media and authorities and even most club officials are too scared to admit or say publicly what almost every football supporter in scotland knows.

     

    so take a bow ggh :clapping:

  14. while it's not a poll of the entire regular two and a half thousand, or the other two thousand or so semi attendees who attend some games on an irregular basis, it is pleasing to see that this foras members are currently over two thirds firmly against an artificial pitch at firhill. you'd think as a straw poll it is reasonably accurate and reflective of what the entire thistle support would poll if ever quizzed by the board on this subject.

     

    in summary, sort the quagmire out come end of season !!!!!

     

     

    suggestion ..... while not ideal, if we can get into top six before split, could we ask the spfl to approve us playing our post split home games back to back, then finish our season with consecutive away games? ..... with early season start next season, we need to get as big as window as possible over the close season to dig down deep and extensively to fix this issue and then get a pitch laid and ready in time for the new season.

  15. and just to flip it again, I don't think we have played well in any game since the turn of the year (bar the Parkhead game) Too many people think the games in hand mean we are in a great position. That will only be the case if we win some of them. This time next week, if both games this week get the go ahead, will hopefully make things a bit clearer. Yes, we are very capable of taking a haul of points, but given the tightness of this league, the opposite is true as well.

     

    disagree i don't with your assessment of our play since turn of year ..... but last eleven scheduled matches have seen disruption of four postponements in amongst two wins, two draws and three defeats (cruel undeserved loss at porkhead, a loss in game that should have never gone ahead (and exacerbated the problems with our pitch), and a cup game where an experiment went horrifically wrong). prior to that eleven game sequence, we were on another run of games that saw us play some exceptional football in entertaining ways and ground out valuable one nil shitfests ..... if we can replicate that run in our final eleven games to the split, we will be top six and strong chance of fourth. it will be hard, with the increased frequency of games, but on flip side when we haven't had a run of games to get in our stride, we've suffered and struggled ..... sometimes when teams get on a winning run, the next games can't come soon enough, so this may, and i emphasise the word may, work in our favour.

     

    point is, let's not turn up to games thinking negatively, looking down and almost defeating ourselves before we start ..... let's be positive, think of how we have opportunity to climb upwards and show some belief in the players and archie and shaggy ..... we've yet to see what the new signings can contribute and a fit again fraser and a no more long haul internationalist edwards as well a returned christie and a level of performance we know our keeper, defence, osman, banzo, dools, lawless and co can produce ..... they've got it in them, so it's up to them to do their business on the park, while the supporters turn out to back them strongly. for example look at the manpreet young team, they are upping their game and backing, how about the some of the doubters do the same?

     

    just the way i see it.

  16. another aspect of our current situation in the midst of how this season is playing out is ..... this is the tightest the premiership has been in any of the past few seasons ..... with our games in hand, coupled with the fact there is currently eight points between eight teams, we have never had a better opportunity to see us comfortably top six come the split ..... an achievement that will surpass anything of the previous three seasons, and be statistically speaking, one of the clubs best ever seasons in its history ..... if that isn't motivation for the players and management, and reason for us as supporters to back the team (and turn out in numbers consistently and vocally), then i despair.

     

    we all know what happened in sixty three, but we could do the opposite here and make these catchup games count and propel us upwards ..... would also mean more money too from league position payout to help get our pitch properly sorted to avoid drainage and flooding issues of this season in future seasons.

     

    yoda glass half full jag :drink:

  17. Have you had a look at the league table ? 6 points from top 6 place with loads of games in hand. We should not be pissing about with play-off talk.

    Flip it on the other side, yes we have games in hand, but we are joint second bottom. Games in hand are no bloody use unless you take points from them, sadly!

     

    flip it again and ..... if we win our all our games in hand, we will be in fourth and snapping at hearts heels. yes, it's an if, but it is possible, not as if we haven't beaten before all the teams we've to play in the postponed games in the premiership.

     

    we have the potential to go more up than down in both points and league positions with the games in hand ..... let's back the players and archie and shaggy and have belief that they can have us looking up rather than down once the games in hand have been caught up.

     

    lets encourage the players to roar on the pitch as supporters roar them on to victory off the pitch.

     

    all together now ..... we will follow thistle, over land and sea ..... :fan:

  18.  

    And why on earth would we want to give away a big chunk of the gate money, while increasing the overheads to accomodate more fans ? If it was for the game in Perth and we got to trouser some of Saints gate receipts then I am all for it.

     

    simple solution, shift the away game to saturday fifth march, and split both the firhill and muirton gates equally ..... publicise the fact to both supports to encourage maximum turnouts so each club wins equally.

  19. played every minute of every competitive game this season (twenty five games)

    started the last thirty five competitive games

    thirty nine appearances to date

     

    these are impressive stats, for ANY player at ANY club.

     

    when callum first appeared there were some grumbles of discontent around me, some were not impressed and stated that he was a downgrade and wouldn't last with us.

     

    it's a measure of the lad, and those who coach him and look after all the gym, sports science, dietary and other aspects of a players fitness, development and application, that callum has grown into such an established and important cog in our team and how we play.

     

    callum has improved throughout his time here there is no doubt or argument and it is a reflection of how far and how well a player can progress under the tutelage of archie and shaggy and all the backroom team at firhill, if players are like callum and have the right dedication and desire to succeed and improve themselves.

     

    he is still young and booth can only get better, and we shall continue to see that progress for at least another season, as archie continues to build a squad of huge togetherness, spirit, dedication to the club and his teammates and who obviously loves playing for thistle.

     

    the longevity of keeping the core of our best players together long term can only help in the quest to become a established premiership club who is knocking on door of top six and having cup runs regularly.

     

    the best is yet to come.
