Been there - done that. Yes, it's inevitable.

Perhaps that is why we now have a Director of Football - to guard against administrative errors like that.

Well, if you insist on playing head tennis against Ayr United, you're likely to lose. 🤨

Too young, dwells on the ball too long instead of passing it back and who would provide accommodation - especially for a youngster with only yellow instead of red-and-yellow hair? 😄 Perhaps he'd only be snapped up by Livingston, who, for a club with 4 fans and an industrial hinterland of roundabout-building have remarkably strong financing. 🤨

IMHO segregation is more of an insult than a help, and if Falkirk or other fans at our level want to mingle they'll be welcome. Segregation is a measure best reserved for the clubs that actually need it. At other games, it stops fans from getting to know each other - which is detrimental to a sport that already has far too many blinkered outlooks.

What a shame the football authorities in Scotland couldn't at least try to get a grip of the recurrent financial problems at all levels of the game. After all, it has affected all levels, from the Old Firm to the likes of Albion Rovers and probably lower, and encouraged financial adventurism (Dundee FC, anyone?) as well as sobering restructures and rescues. Instead of splurging inflated salaries on executives that don't even reside in Scotland, they could spend much less on sending out, say, two small teams of retired accountants to spend a week with each club, going through the books and then attending a game before delivering a report with recommendations to the club board - much better value for money, and helpful at all levels. Setting up a small fund to help with refurbishments and repairs (e.g. Morton's seats or roofing), perhaps exacted from all clubs' takings at 0.5%, would be another sound move. Likely to happen? Not in Scottish football! ☹️

My eyes hurt after that. Both teams worthy of having 3 points docked. 😄

Looking around the JHS many came prepared for a low, bright sun by wearing caps with brims. Why don't our goalkeepers at Firhill all do this? Surely a cap with a brim should be part of their kit. In fact, the same applies to officials and visiting goalkeeper, although they at least have the excuse of not facing these conditions predictably.

In my view, that's the matter closed: individuals' views, whether controversial or even ludicrous (flat earther, young creationist, a believer in transubstantiation - whatever) are not something the club or any voluntary society should be policing or even commenting on. As for public bodies like the SFA - surely they have more pertinent matters to attend to too, e.g. the precarious finances of football clubs or pyromania at games.

Not just through the keeper: this team must be the slowest in the division at switching from defence to offence. (As a side note, the modern tendency for a player on the ball not to turn with it, but instead to look for a back pass, must surely contribute to this tendency.)

As there was a challenge to go to what is now the bizarrely named X, here is the heartfelt declaration of a father from that same source: https://x.com/SophiaSLorey/status/1889380745870975479?t=YahU1JuWP6_6UW4hSDsDhw&s=19 For my part, my tolerance for castration cults is very limited (as is that of my gay friends), but more pertinently in this sporting context men have invaded and continue to invade women's sport to the detriment of all. The club really needs to get up to speed on these issues if it's going to wave flags at us.

The "trans rights" flags represent an ideology that says women's sport is for men too: in a word, misogyny. Given men's physical advantages, that is anti-women. (Let's not go down the path of mentioning men romping about in women's private spaces - oops, I just have. There is a reason for having a women's team that isn't just a repeat of the men's team.) Let's keep Partick Thistle - men and women - respectful of women's rights.

What a scandal to see the anti-women flags alongside the red and yellow! 😡

Proper yellow is better. 😉

A lucky win in the end. Unlike another fan on here, judging from the TV picture IMHO the Accies' top was bowfin'. Ours was ace, though.
