Auld Jag

I dont think that this has been mentioned anywhere else,but i do not think that any rule has been brung in if another club goes bust and becomes a newco.Surely this has to change so that this endless debate does not happen again and just in case anybody from our board is reading this i think that any newco at best should start in div3 at best.This is not the only reason but remember the double vote to kick us out the SPL..

Can they not just start a thread on this forum yes or NO to newco?

Couldnt agree more.The SFL clubs must get more,imo we will never get another chance like this.Lets get back to bigger leagues and only playing each oter twice a season.We are only getting this because the SPL clubs want to say to ther fans we said no to newco.But if this goes ahead they will be back in a seasonThey dont want to lose fans why should we? Do we want to kill our club off to save newco?No way.

When this lot were called Rangers they were nothing but trouble and now the newco are just the same.At best they should be starting in the 3rd.Also our media has been shown up for what they are as well,they just suck up to Celtic and newco,where was the mention of TV contracts being ripped up when the 2 of them wanted to chase the EPL £ all the media said it would be the best thing to happen now we cant survive without them and also surely they cant be called the old firm any more.Nobody that has anything to do with PTFC should forget how we were shafted with the double SPL vote,they didnt care how that effected us.

Feel we need another 4or5pts to make sure we dont get involved in any play off.

Imo Scully cost us the game.First goal a terrible mistake,2nd and 3rd confusion between him and our defenders,why did he come rushing out of his goal ? which caused the 3rd.It was avery good finish by Russell but if Scully had stayed on his line i dont think he would have had a shot.Fox must come back in as i feel we need another 4pts at least to be safe.Once we get them give Scully another chance.

Good performance and a good 3pts.Thought we were very good in the first half and should probably been more than 1up.Second half we werent quite as good but Erskines goal was the best i have seen us score for years.Imo if either of the goals we scored yesterday was scored by a bigger team you would have seen them countless times by now.But then the SFL doesnt have any TV coverage

The way they were going on, on the radio yesterday you would think it was nothing to do with them.For years they and their fellow ugly sisters twins have said they want out of Scotland and join the EPL, now they want us all to help them.NO WAY.Remember the SPL double vote they didnt care what happened to us.Next on the hit list Celtic ,Hearts ,Hibs and then the rest.

I dont think we have been woefull all season.We have though been very inconscictent.Tuesday nights game summed our season up for me we showed how bad we can be,but also showed how good we can be.

Are some Thistle fans being unfair on McNamara saying it is time for him to go?This is his first full season as a manager and yes he has made mistakes but at the moment we are not in the bottom 2 of the league and after seeing a number of rookie managers coming to Firhill only to be saked because we were close to the relegation area,not finishing in the bottom 2 might count as some sort of success.I know that is not an ambitious point of view. But i would expexct to see an improvement next season.Does anybody know if our manager ever gets any tips of Lambie? As i feel that our managerial team is very inexperinced and getting some advise from an old head might help.I dont remember hearing anything about McNamaras contract,anybody know how long it is? Also looking at our league, if there were play offs to go up to the SPL every team in our league would have something to play for either to go up or to escape relegation.I am sure this would mean the crowds would be higher.

Tuesdays game imo summed up our season.It showed how bad we can be and also how good we can be.Another 3 wins and we should be safe enough.But we need to get off to a good start next season and keep it going.

I know that we cannot score at the moment,but i feel that in our last 2 home games we have been a bit unlucky.We have come up against a couple of keepers who have had very good games and we also hit the post in the last minute of the Dundee game.It is alarming to hear the amount of people on this forum who say they wont be back because we are playing pish.We are no world beaters but i do not think that we are rubbish either.We are going through a rough patch in front of goal just now.But i hope come Tuesday night that all changes.People not turning up at Firhill will only do harm and the product on the park will suffer.Some might think it cant get any worse but it can.I have been a Thistle fan for over 50years and only missed 4 first team games at Firhill since 68/69 season and that was due to going to Florida a few times.So i know what i am talking about i have seen a lot worse.Ihope the fans who are feeling so down about Thistle and not turning up at Firhill change there mind and come back because Thistle need everyone of us at Firhill.If we were to fold it wouldnt be first thing on the Scottish news for a week the way it is for that Govan mob.If we dont care nobody else will.

See Portsmouth are back in administration again.Imo instead of deducting points no matter who it is Rangers included,they should be automatically relegated and if it happens more than once to the same team put them down a few divisions or throw them out the leagues altogether.It is the only deterent imo.

The next 2 games will imo tell us where we will be.Anything less than 4pts and we are in trouble.The teams below us have been picking up some points,but thankfully for us a lot of the games have been draws.I think there was a 3week period where there was only 4 victories out of 15 games.We were defeated twice in this period.This shows how tight this league is.Lets hope that our manager has let the players know how angry he is about the perfomance against Livie and we see proof of that on the park.Could Christie be our local hero.

Our form this year so far has been poor,although i did feel with a bit of luck we could have beat Dundee in our last game at Firhill.I feel after our next 2 games both at Firhill will tell us how we are going to finish this season.A minimum of 4pts is required and if we got that or even 6pts imo we will finish either 5th or 6th.Anything less though i feel we will be in a battle to avoid a play off position,i feel that Ayr will go straight down.So lets get behind the team and hopefully cheer them on to 6pts.I know that this point has been made in other posts but i really do not see the point in getting theese loanees in from SPL clubs and either loaning our own young players out or not giving them a game at all.I really feel that the loanees we have have not added anything to our team at all and i would much prefer seeing our own young players playing.

I have thought since the start of the season that Ayr would finish bottom and that the play off place would go to one of the other more established first div teams and because of this i feel we cannot afford to lose on wednsday night.Imo we need at least 4pts out of our next 2 games although 6pts would be great.

I found an old 1971 league cup winners scarf rescently and wore it at all the home games starting with the match against ayr.After our loss to Ross county i will revert back to the scarf i have worn for a number of years starting tomorrow until we lose at home again.

Hope i am not proven wrong,but imo no matter what team we put on the park(within reason) we should win.

I remember a number of years ago St.Johnstone were doing badly and Sturrock got his team in for extra traning for a number of weeks and the results improved.I am not saying it always works but is worth a try imo.If we are doing so well in training some extra sessions wont do any harm.I just hope all the Thistle players and manager realise that this result is just not dissapointing but very embarrising for our club.

First off all thanks to Tom for doing all the work he gets through on line and in the programme, if our team showed the same commitment we would not need a replay and also be higher up the league.I do not think that the manager sounds angry enough in his after match reaction, i am hoping that he is being restrained with the media but been totally diffirent wth the players behind the dressing room door.I would have had them in today.I know Jackie is at a coaching coarse but we must have others who could take training.Iwould also have them doing double training sessions for the rest of the week at least.

Would we not be the first 1st div side to be knocked out by a Junior teeam if we did lose.I know Berwick and ICT have beaten the old firm but they are league teams.Any way it wont happen

I think it is more to do with England not getting the world cup.Also as other posters have pointed out the title of this thread is extremly insulting

We are in a no win situation tomorrow.If we run riot and win by a barrowload everybody will say that is what should be happening.If we only win by a goal or 3 we will be slated and if we were to lose it would be the biggest shock ever in the scottish cup imo.

It is alright speaking well after the game but hopefully when he sees that things arent working he will change it much sooner than he did yesterday.We were abismal in the first half yesterday,infact about 20mins into the game i said to my son we are playing like the away team.I know that our forwards arent getting the best service at the momement but i think that they are all struggling up front.The next 2 league games are really important come out of them unbeaten and i think we will finish about 5th lose them and we will be in the relegation zone,
