Well, Bowen Boys, I think that everybody in the JTF should take a deep breath before they enter into a deal like that.
To be as clear as I can, I want PTFC to be a fan owned club.

Just wonder whether you do think the last minute loans are positive or not?

Thanks for the link. At the tail end of that highly entertaining Jim Melrose reminisces, it said that they are doing more with other ex players. Anyone know where they can be watched?

Can someone please help me? I woke this morning and can't stop feeling very satisfied, smug or get this smile off my face!
Help please!
Well, I feel more or less the same.
Smug, not exactly.
Satisfied? You bet
Smile on my face? Oh! you got to believe it!
I'd think that this is astonishing. Quite an amazing turnaround.
Luckly to support PTFC.

I thought we fought pretty impressively. That was a pretty hard game and. apart from the interesting idea that we will top this league, we got an away point. So I assume it all depends on our game against Falkirk. Is that even the consensus around here? Is it even true?

I am quite astonished at the turn -a- round over the last month or so. I thought we had become a 'seaside' league club what with the canal and such like. I am now quite excited that we might actually win this division. It was only recently that I started to buy pay to view, and whilst nowhere near the excitement of actually being at a game I felt, at the very least, connected.
This football club will always remain 'special' to me and it's attempts to retain, through pay to view, at least a link, has been impressisve.
It seems to me that, whilst in almost perpetualyl struggles to survive, it does just that.s Perhaps with better luck, we might thrive after this season.
Just saying.
Y'know. Hopeful like.

patrickthedog,
Thanks for that. M y memory is, ahem, bad. Or worse!

Perhaps this has been answered elsewhere on this forum, if so excuse my poor googling skills. When was the last time we won 5-0 in a league game?
-
I seem to recall that Sena, elsewhere, had a lot of respect for Gerry Britton and the fact that we were willing to pursue his registration process when other's would not?
The guy comes across as having been on a bit of a roller coaster ride.
I, personally, hope he goes on to do great things.

If I won the lottery, I would give the club over to a hand picked bunch of lawyers and accountants whose only aim would be get us back to the top level of Scottish Football.

Perhaps, if you had just announced your new web site and invited folk to visit, you wouldn't have looked like such a plonk?
Just saying.

May I ask?
Why does:
"2) Even if the SPFL resolution (authorising ending the Premier season early and actually ending the other seasons early) is annulled by a court it doesn’t help Thistle. It just forces the SPFL to revisit the matter. "
Revisiting the matter may well be the point.
No?

For goodness sake. We have, at least three players that we are likely to lose to Premier Clubs. Not necessarily as 'first choices' in their teams but.. at least as substitutes.
You all know who they are.
This is likely to be a fire sale.
This is a terribly sad time.
No income, no squad and a rebuilding from the bottom up.
The only thing the club has is you. And me. Lets keep supporting the club!
Let's make the best of this.

Auld Jag,
"Thanks to Thistle for the offer of a partial refund. I will not be taking them up in this offer as my small way of helping the club. "
I am currently a 'pay at the gate' fan. But I'd expect that very few season ticket holders will want a refund. It is folk such as you that are the heart and soul of this football club.
The genuine support that folk have given is quite overwhelming.

Me too. I will buy that, I would like it it in grandchildren sizes too!
You are doing great work!

My alternative:
Wait until COVID - 19 had passed and things are back to normal, no matter when the 'all-clear' is given. Continue this season to it's eventual outcome. Which might well take us to December. Play a shortened 'home' and 'away' (once only) season in the Winter of 2020/21, Spring of 2021. Let these results also stand. All fixed for a full season in 2021/22.
Any thoughts?

May I suggest that our goalkeeper merely stands up, rather that diving right or left? As his anticipation appears to be always wrong, perhaps he should tell his anticipation that it is always wrong? Standing still might have saved a few more penalties than his current nonsense.
The man needs to break with his beliefs and save at least one penalty, once.

Garscube Road End,
Just so's you know, your post 3 hours ago is pending moderation.
"
Intially TFL were to purchase the major shares with Colin Weir's money. Didn't happen. Three Black Cats now hold the majority shares.
Bought out Propco to take Firhill into club hands. Three Black Cats own the ground. Not Partick Thistle.
An interim board appointed ( fair enough) with a space for another director. Now one of the interim has left( last of the old board) and is replaced by a previous director who was hardly on the board before his removal and is there only until March. He hardly knows the club and what does he bring to the club? I suspect he is J. Low's puppet. Buzarre
Training ground. It was said that with the takeover this was to gi go ahead. Now we are to piggy back a junior club's ground. We were to have sole use of the training ground, now we are to be tenants.
The money for the academy and the Women's team are welcome. But the Academy are only getting back what was withdrawn when Colin Weir spat out the dummy.
It all stinks to the high heaven."
At first glance it makes statements that require backing up or deleted. If you cannot provide evidence then I'll delete your post.
This is a forum which is vulnerable to the wrongful charge that by allowing comments (yours in this case) to be shown the light of day makes us complicit. I doubt, very much, that you want to kill off this forum. You have the ability to delete your post.

admin,
Please e-mail me.

Anyone else remember the enclosure? Memory isn't what it was, but I think I saw most of my early days of supporting this club in there. Until we found our own, personal staunchion across the park. We were ahem, 'a tad annoyed', if anyone else took it first. Much like our modern season ticket holders!

eljaggo,
Fascinating.
It flies directly in the face of the issues. Which, for all their obvious faults, neither party, Jordanhill Jag nor JaveaJag could realistically be accused of failing to address. It is what they do. Controversy is good. It is what a web site expects. It is fuel for further discussion.
I kind of doubt that our good friends Jordanhill Jag or JaveaJag have the impact on the media that you imply.
This, it seems to me, to be local.
I am unaware of why admin ought to close down anything.It is not my call, but why, exactly?

So what happened to the site? I thought it was just me that had been banned for being a crap moderator? Incidentally, the rules I apply come from my friend Callie Arcale who moderated Space.com. for ages. I have very few hero's or heroines, but she is certainly one of them. If you think that this site is controversial, you ain't seen nothing yet. And, sadly, Space.com no longer has a forum, a.f.a.i.k.
Because their controversy was 'interesting'. You had folk believing in ET, and you had folk that thought they were crazy. But there were corporate interests that appeared to want the site to be in the pocket of capital, and not having folk talk - often rubbish - which wasn't attractive to folk with a buck to make.
I do not want this site to go down that route.
Could we please be as respectful on here of others opinions as if we were meeting face to face?
There has been aggression expressed on here that would start a fight in a nunnery.
I will do my best to moderate that. However, it is frankly down to you to moderate yourselves.
The more 'interesting' debates are not free of ad hominems nor aggression. You know who you are. Stop it. You'll get a warning, then a temporary ban then a permanent ban. Is that a route you want to pursue? It is not a road I want to have to follow.
If you do not recognise that as your behaviour then you, probably, have nothing to worry about. If you do recognise that as your behaviour then pause and reflect.
Peace and mutual respect guys and gals.

Independent Fans Statement
in Main Jags forum
Posted · Edited by douglas clark
At the risk of being super pendantic. I have held a Thistle Season ticket, sometimes, but not all the time (I am quite old). For several years, my family and I have 'paid at the gate'.
I do not see myself, nor my family, as lesser supporters because of that.
The people that come through the gate, and the excetera's of extras, are all more than welcome to my Firhill. I frankly don't get this new division of pay at the gate and season ticket holders.
Just out of curiosity, what would the 'gate' be if it was limited to season ticket holders?
That, it seems to me is an unjustifiable snobbery. And, probably a death knell for the club. No growth, no future.
And absolutely no Jag fan should be happy to be called a snob!
