Fair enough, that's true.

We're a British team too. I don't like flags. Countries are just made up political entities, so there's no such thing as a non-political national flag.

Great result, very good performance, but I'm going to be a really grumpy old man here. I mean you really can't begrudge little kids enjoying a Thistle game, so disliking myself for saying this but..... That constant banging on the gates down the front of the JHS was REALLY annoying. Apologies.

What's the deal with tickets? Can't seem to buy home ones on the website

Yeah. I supppse I disagree on a single point. I think all of the above does mean that the quality and ability of player has increased. Otherwise, what's the point?

You don't think we're playing a high level of technical football compared to many Thistle teams of the past? Scoring better crafted goals? Scotland may be dropping in level relatively, but I think football generally is of a much higher standard than it used to be, and our game is being raised in that way. Try watching a rerun of Scotsport from the 1980s and you'll see what I mean.

I was somehow confident thoughout. Maybe it's just the Friday night on the telly thing (which used to be a disaster)

Arthurlie but it wouldn't be the same. It would just be something to do.

Entertaining game I thought. I think we have been entertaining under Kris Doolan, but unfortunately particularly for the neutrals. We play a lot of good attacking football but we seem vulnerable to losing games that we should win, and yesterday was a perfect example.

I'm not convinced that a great big decomposing hulk of emptiness is a great tribute to anyone.

"...the whole potato thing"?

Cardboard cut-out? (Sorry, disrespectful)

I don't remember being offered a card

Thanks for that. Turns out I was missing something, but not something obvious in my opinion, and without this forum I genuinely don't think I'd have found it. What do people without smartphones do? It doesn't seem very inclusive to me.

So I bought my season ticket ages ago, have received nothing, and I don't believe the club has advised me about how to receive it. I've tried downloading the app, and while it recognises the sale I can't see anything that actually looks like a season ticket (or which would get me through the gate). I must be missing something.

Zander McKenzie is not going to impressed with these comparisons.

I'm.getting a big cigar and a sheepskin jacket

Lots of complicated arguments but for me it was always quite simple. For me, what Partick Thistle is, will always be more important than league position. I'd have no interest in supporting a club that is part of a group where it lies down the hierarchy and feeds others. In fact I'd argue that at that stage it ceases to be a "club". I'd struggle to support a club with dodgy ownership. I get frustrated by one where the owners are just a bit useless. But we've been there and it's never really put me off. I'm delighted to support a fan owned club. For me that's the ideal. I just really hope we can make it work. I dont expect it to be plain sailing, bit I'm feeling positive.

Sorry. I've heard this argument so many times and I just don't get it. We didn't get a third goal at Firhill but we did get a good 2-0 win and then we did get a third goal at Dingwall. We were 3-0 up with 20 minutes to go. How anyone can say that game was lost at Firhill is totally beyond me. Regarding the shootout, I'm not up for excuses, but it's a fair question. Yeah the flares and incursions were annoying but it wasn't exactly the most combustible situation that a penalty shootout has ever been conducted in. There's no reason why normal rules shouldn't have been applied. Everything else was just the usual shite.

Said it before, will say it again... Fair play to those who called out the previous board. I wasn't one if them. Without that I think the state we're in could have been worse.

Oh no no no no. When you wear stripes, you don't introduce a third colour into your stripes. That's just not on. Objection. I do quite like the goalie one though.

What physically is a season ticket these days? Am i waiting for something through the post?

Done

Nisbet apparently going for £2 million. I assume we don't get anything, given that he didn't sign from us.

Just another point, and it's one that I think I'm more extreme on than anyone else, but interested to know if anyone else shares my thoughts. I definitely wouldn't buy a season ticket for the Premier league. In fact I'm not sure how much I'd go to games in the Premier league. This is because, for me, var absolutely ruins football. This has nothing to do with last weekend. To me, the essence if football is absolutely reliant on the immediate release and joy of a goal being scored. If goals have to be checked and rechecked before they are counted, something essential is lost. This essential ingredient in what is supposed to be entertainment, is much more important than every single decision being "correct" (which var has failed to provide anyway). I very much doubt it will happen, but I really hope that var is eradicated. If everyone felt like me then it would be, because attendances and live TV subscriptions would crash. But I don't think everyone does.
