    Still not understanding. Clubs have been getting matches postponed all through this because of “illness” and injury. And when Covid testing was part of the regime for football to continue the number of cases at clubs was being reported.

    Not understanding what?

    Players are employees and have a right to medical confidentiality- that’s why the manager shouldn’t speak publicly about people who have contracted Covid - as much as that might annoy supporters who want to know everything

    Can anyone make an educated guess at what McCall meant in his post-match interview about not being able to say anything in public about missing players? It could be any number of things - Covid, the pitch, the protracted fan ownership transfer - or something else entirely.

    Just find it a bit weird that me mentioned it to say he couldn't mention it. (Instead of not mentioning it at all!)

    Who’s not allowed ? Anyone at Thistle ? Why not ?

    Why??? 

    I assume Docherty was out with it? 

    Medical confidentiality, I presume.

    They are employees of the club and are entitled to a right of medical confidentiality, exactly the same as employees at other organisations.

    Best practice would not to name individuals who have illness issues, for whatever reason.

    Haha don’t know about that.  There was an article linking us with him in January.  Mind you a bit worrying if we couldn’t even afford to sign a lad from the junior football 

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/sport/19871809.amp/

    We didn't try to sign him during any transfer window - nothing worrying there to be honest. He is a player who, I believe, impressed when we went to watch Ocholi during his loan spell at Benburb so we asked to play him as a trialist in the Glasgow Cup.

    No. I pick out facts to counter your narrative that McCall was brilliant in the January window that season. (By implication that it had been missed by a previous poster). I was pointing out that we actually took a backwards step.

    My recollection is that it was an injury to Brownley (possibly O’Ware) that forced him to move Bell as a defender that changed the form. It was not some miracle transfer business. (And before you say it, Bell was brought in as a midfielder)

    Funny way to be brought in as a midfielder - to be announced as a ‘versatile defender’.

    9 games in 32 days now given Arbroath rescheduled date …..including 3 in 7 days vs 3 of the current top 4 . Surely ICT game will be moved now seems mad to play Tuesday & Friday when loads of spare midweeks in March & April ?

    The Friday game won't move as it is on the BBC. Is playing Tuesday-Friday any worse than playing Wednesday-Saturday which we'll have to do next week?

    I note with great interest that Bobby Linn's testimonial dinner is scheduled for Sunday 27th February - hopefully they are still wellied on the Tuesday!

    Going to be much harder next year with the new rule where any club can only have a total of 4 loans in and 4 out at any point in time.

    That’s not too dissimilar to this season. We can have five in at once, though not sure on a cap for outgoings(where did you see that?) but it does place a greater emphasis on playing players when they come to our club and picking your loans carefully - but we’ll deal with that next year.

  7. We can still loan players until the end of February so while we might not get them in for Monday, there is still quite a long way to go in terms of us being able to loan players. A lot will depend on Premiership teams getting who they want in before they decide to loan out.

    Having, just seen the alleged  ‘red card’ on Sportscene I would think it likely that we’d win an appeal. That of course, is predicated on everything being fair and above board down Hampden way

    Remember, for an appeal to be successful it has to be proven that there was a clear and obvious error. From the footage seen on Sportscene, while it is clear that it clearly shouldn't have been a red card, there is contact between the two and the way the ball bounces right into the path he would take means it could be interpreted as denying a goalscoring opportunity so I'm not so sure we'd win an appeal.

    Not confused at all!!

    from Warriors website:

    "Proof of vaccine certification: Following further clarification from the Scottish Government and Glasgow City Council, Glasgow Warriors do NOTrequire supporters to show proof of vaccine certification at upcoming home fixtures. This is because Scotstoun Stadium has a capacity of less than 10,000 and is fully seated."

    from our website:

    "Until further notice, supporters attending matches at Firhill should be prepared to provide visual proof of vaccination, which includes a booster vaccine for those who had their last dose more four months ago, to gain entry to the stadium, unless exempt."

    From the Scottish Government's site(https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine-certification-scheme-information-for-local-authorities/): 

    "As of 17 January, live outdoor events with capacity above 500 were able to go ahead, with the existing certification requirements applying. The Scottish Government has increased the expectation of the proportion of attendees who should be spot checked to 50% or 1000, whichever is higher."

    Seems like Warriors have spoken to Government to get that special rugby exemption! Again from reading the Scottish Government site, and others in the SPFL, it seems they are following it correctly - however much a pain in the arse it must be.

    I searched for live coverage of yesterday's match on Youtube, but couldnae find it.....

    It was an away game. PTW aren't allowed to stream their away games but I think they have offered a live stream for all non-televised home games this season.

    Those two need to patch up their differences. Taking a shot instead of squaring for Rudden was dreadful, and cost us 2 points.

    There isn’t an unresolved conflict between the two. There is an abundance of bad decision making which is to be expected with young players. 
     

    I do like that they have the confidence to go for goal themselves but learning to get the head up and have a bit more vision and understanding to pick the right option will improve them as players.

    Exactly AJ plus this will be a different Accies we play. They have bought 3 players in on loan already including the lad Mullin on loan from Livingston who scored twice today.

    we know while being solid at the back we need more goals and hope we are not waiting many weeks to bring in attacking options. Had expected an announcement already that Hastie would be back at Rangers 

    Mullin has been on loan at Hamilton all season. He played in both our matches against them so far.

    What are the current rules regards signing a loanee who has already been on loan elsewhere?  Eg I think Nouble looked like someone who would enhance our attack but would that be allowed?  That’s also assuming he would want to sign down and not stay at Arbroath.

    As long as a player only plays competitively for two sides in a season, then he can go out on loan. A good example is Jack Hamilton last year who spent the first half of the season on loan at East Fife before swapping to Arbroath in January. 

    I think Nouble can play for another club but obviously Livi have eyes on playing him in their first team. Callum Hendry, on loan at Kilmarnock can only play for Kilmarnock or St. J for example as he has featured for both so far.

    Have the club said what is happening with non ST holders who bought the stream? Nothing on Twitter? 

    Yes. 

    It's also on club site: https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/ppv-refunds-for-ayr-stream/ and was on the banner when I logged onto the website just now.

    If he us unattached ( free agent) I think he can. Might be wrong though Barney.

    He can’t sign for anyone in Scotland(or England for that matter) until January as he wasn’t a free agent when the summer window closed in August.

    Very strange timing considering he could have came on loan to a Championship club anytime until 30th September - must have been a mega fallout to not get the professional courtesy of being kept in the game until the next window.

    Help!  I have signed up to an account with ICT.  I get a message that there are no tickets available for the south stand.  I noticed above to try and buy tickets without logging in but I get the same message either by  clicking on a section within the stand or by using the drop down list.  I have tried all of these on firefox and chrome.  Any suggestions?

     

    Are you logged in? Don't be signed into your account and it should work. Only log in when you have the seats in the basket.

    Not yet ready to begin talking about the game, line-up, tactics etc, but just wondered if anyone else had yet attempted to buy a ticket(s) for the game?

    I followed the link on the Jags website and it was very easy to set up an account with ICT. However when it came to trying to purchase a ticket in a specific location. all it would offer me were places in the home stands. The away stand is the South Stand. Blocks G & H in the South Stand were included in the drop down options, but both claimed to be sold out, which is hard to believe!

    I was too late for office hours and have meetings tomorrow morning, but will be able to phone ICT in the afternoon and hopefully sort things out. In the meantime, if anyone has any helpful insights, please let me know. For example, was there a place to signify that you were an away fan, which I might have missed?

     

    When I click the link on the Jags website, it takes me through to Inverness ticketing site, I can pick from sections G and H(like a seat picker with green and red) and place them in my basket - hasn’t asked me to create an account yet though(although I never finished the purchase)

    The draw has already been made. If we win we’ll play Broonhill(formerly BSC Glasgow) or QOTS away. They play tomorrow afternoon

    With Rangers in trouble due to covid, I was sure there would be a change from the 3-0 forfeit. 

    Make up the rules as they go along.

    The 3-0 forfeit is only in cup competitions due to the "congested fixture list" and the need to get the games played at that specific moment to allow the tournament to advance. League games have always been a postponement and an investigation if something has gone wrong - see the Clyde v East Fife game last season which was shifted to the last game of the season.

    I imagine Falkirk will be unhappy about this. Didn’t they have to play Cove with several players missing due to covid

    Falkirk had players who could play - that is the crucial difference. Their isolation ended hours before the game which meant they could play. The SPFL should have moved the game to the Sunday out of common sense but Falkirk had a squad who could play - Airdrie and Ayr United do not.

    Still no word of signing the 3/4 additional players  McCall said he was looking to bring to Firhill. 

    Can anyone share any inside information - a name, a position or even a statement that a signing(s) are imminent? 

    How long do we have before this transfer window closes? 

    We have two weeks to make permanent signings. 

    Loan signings can be made until the end of September.

    This is just another example of lack of planning and a missed opportunity for the club. They have had plenty of time to prepare for this situation and find it quite surprising that they are operating under the assumption that all season ticket holders will want/be able to attend in person.

    With a bit of planning, they could have allowed season ticket holders to deactivate their ticket allowing them to put tickets on sale to the general public generating an additional revenue.

    Doesn’t feel like the club are showing a great sense of togetherness or thanks to fans who have purchased up front to help the managers 2000 ticket target or declined refunds on tickets from the previous season.  Stark contrast to the message coming from other clubs in the division https://ictfc.com/2021-22-season-tickets

    Maybe I am being naïve but are there really that many Thistle fans who are looking to do the club out of revenue by sharing tickets and streams. Are those people likely to have paid in the first place?

    This is literally why you buy a season ticket - to attend the game in person. 

    If you can't make the game/feel it is unsafe then send them an email saying you can't make it due to COVID-19 and they'll give you a stream code - pretty easy and straightforward. It's clear the club have to operate within constraints set by the SPFL and they are being as flexible as they can. It seems like what ICT are doing is against the rules as I read them further up the page.
