  1. Thistle have been part of my life for over 40 years. I love the club and can't imagine not being at Firhill on a Saturday but I will not be back if Thistle and Scottish football is bullied/blackmailed/bribed into allowing the newco into Div 1 to appease the current SPL clubs and Murdoch and his Sky mob.

     

    I'd rather go watch a local junior team than a team playing at Firhill who had sold their souls for a few pieces of silver...'cos it wouldn't be MY Partick Thistle any more

  2. Nicely put together and at risk of taking away from this push, I think I'm same as quite a number of folk who, if we get the correct assurances re Thistle's voting intentions with an RFC newco in Div1 from the BOD then I'll be up as soon as to renew.

     

    What he said

  3. Stick a fence up at the bottom of the bing (one of those ones that slot together fixed into concrete bases would do the job). Let the flag holders/owners in to attach them before the game & get them back after. Lots of colourful flags to distract from the bing. Would need to leave a space to allow one of the gates to open so the ballboys can collect Paton/Atchie/Rowser's shots (delete as required)!

  4. Not sure if it should be something rousing or ironic ('Promised You a Miracle')!

     

    Think the club should ask for suggestions, maybe use a couple of different ones during the season. IIRC Dungdee used the theme from 'The Great Escape' which made a point to their own fans

     

    Personally I'd like something noisy by the Clash, but I fear 'White Riot' or 'I Fought the Law' wouldn't fit the family friendly image :unsure:

  5. The celtic thing is a bit nauseating as us diddy clubs are always suffering at the hands of the OF (er, well not recently, ahem, but you know what I mean). But I've banged on about referees before.

     

    Fact one:- there are too many West Coast referees.

    Fact two:- certain profession are over represented (especially law, which should be a disqualification in my book as lawyers are literally professional liars).

     

    Probably true:- there will be too many OF supporting refs (even allowing for the larger population size).

     

    I bet this is true:- most of them are Rangers fans. Did anyone else notice Chick Young's near hysterical reaction to Pete Wishart's suggestion that refs declare what team they support? A lot of people would be really disgusted if they found out how riddled the ref's association is/was by Rangers goons.

     

     

    Can't see the point of asking refs to declare their alegencies, I wonder how many would admit to supporting one of the ugly sisters & even if they genuinely support one of Scotland's other sides the next question will be 'So who do you, REALLY support?'

     

    As for Reid & Lennon, this is a great smokescreen to hide the fact that Sellik have rebuilt a whole team & still are 2nd to the other lot who have had more or less the same team for 2 years.

  6. 1st Bearsden for me from JBB right up to officer, our JBB had 3 teams. My main memory as goalkeeper in the 2nd team was playing on full sized pitches (Thorn Park anyone?) We were so wee corners had to be taken from the junction of the 18 yarde box & goal line & goalies were easy to lob!!
