Regardless of whether the game itself was good/bad (I don't have sky so got no idea) seeing the 2nd half delayed while broken glass was removed from the pitch and a member of staff having to be treated after being hit by a bottle hardly serves Scottish football well. I'm coming round to the idea of both arse cheeks going off to another league but I wonder which league would be desperate enough to think they would add anything to their existing league?

Nope most wouldn't care. They are Thistle players wherever they come from. Saying thatI'd love us to continue to develop home grown talent as well.

Not much more we can do on that pitch it just won't allow passing football. Thought there was a bit more confidence in a few of the players particularly Akinola and Mayo looked good anchoring the midfield. Baby steps I know and it was pretty ugly to watch but after the last few games and still missing a few players, a draw wasn't a bad result and better than most of us (myself included).

I emailed the club 3 times trying to get my seat fixed. They promised each time to have it fixed 'for the next home game' when it wasn't fixed at the 3rd time I opted to move my seat...not even close to the one I had which was almost in line with the half way line. Now nearer the 18 yard box. If the current regime can’t/ won't do simple maintenance are they cutting every corner and dumping it all on the new owners?

I'm in no position to comment on the ins and outs of all this but to me the longer the current Board delay providing meaningful information whether in a DD or other independent way, the more I become concerned that they are trying to hand over a club which may be debt free as promised but one facing huge costs that couldn't be met by a fan ownership scheme

Out of likes for today!

Im not good with social media but think this is worth sharing on Pie and Bovril if it hasn't already. I hope Arbroath fans that travel down on Saturday would want to join in when they know the background.

Worth raising it with O'Neills....

This was mentioned several times before. The rumour (and it is only a rumour) was the loan deal was done because Rudden effectively threatened to 'down tools' if he didn't get the move to Dundee in January. It suited Dundee to loan us back a player who wasn't going to get game time with them. The only people who know the truth of what went on are those involved and we can only guess how we would have fared with Rudden in the team. I suspect if he had a couple of bad games or missed a couple of chances there would have been posts on here saying he wasn't interested in playing for Thistle with a 3 year contact with Dundee signed and sealed.

And Docherty too I think. We couldn't furlough him because we were committed to his signing which was after the furlough started. Hence he was the one in all the publicity pictures for the new kit etc at the time.

It should be. No point raking over the coals

If Auld Jag and Eunice have no objections I feel it would be appropriate to acknowledge Robert's life with a minutes applause at the 31st minute at our home game with Arbroath.

So well put PTD. No matter our differences on here we can all agree that the loss of Robert left a gap in all our lives, but most particularly that of his family and close friends. I'll say a prayer of thanks for Robert today and I hope Auld Jag and Eunice get some measure of comfort from your words.

To be fair DD at some point I'll break the course of the early thread

Hope you are eating your words tomorrow night!

So, a chance to put Saturday behind us and reset for the run in and play offs against the bottom of the league or a repeat of Saturday (shudders!). Who will be fit? Will we have a full bench? Only prediction is that Sneddon will start. I know he was at fault for couple of goals on Saturday but overall he has had a great season and made some crucial saves.

Where did you see this reported?

One for Goalie Mistakes vol 2

I think Rough may have been. If so Jackie definitely deserves to be inducted as an individual

We're all the '71 team and Davie McParland not the first inductees?

H please. Thanks for running the competition again Phil.

Can't remember all the details but Thistle were promoted at the 11th hour when Forfar Farmington announced they were folding. I thought that following the vote by the Women's Association to join the SPFL that there was another reorganisation with 2 teams promoted from the 1st division to the Premier with no relegation.

Has the reorganisation of the leagues for next season been approved yet? IIRC the top league is to be expanded so I assumed that there would be no relegation this year.

It's a big hole in the ground. Police are looking into it apparently

Has Greenock decimalised or are they still on LSD?
