  1. He was a legend in the time he was with us, a far better player than anyone else in that team... he played football, wish he had stayed but as we all do in jobs we look for something better and with more pay.

     

    Class act to watch, never tire of watching that goal or remembering how he cooly took the ball from defence when 95% of defenders would punt it to row z

  2. You work for a private company, you now work longer for less, your company pension has been cut and the retirement age is raised, add to that your state pension isnt worth pennies

     

    You work in the public sector, they want you to work longer for less, your pension has been cut and the retirement age is raised, add to that your state pension isnt worth pennies

     

    Unfortunatly most of the counrties workforce are in the same boat but being a public sector worker you have greater numbers to make your feeling known.

     

    This is the fault of this government and the previous ones, the people running the Britain dont really give a toss about those people living in it

  3. New Partick Thistle whisky range being released according to tonights Evening Times. The recent Hall of Fame evening had some commerative bottles celebrating the League Cup Final victory

     

    My Dad still has 2 bottle of the whisky that was brought out in 71 to celebrate us winning the cup...... he's been waiting 40 years to open it waiting on the next cup win

  4. Cant believe anyone really thinks he will be back, he stagnated at us, tried to jump ship as soon as dundee came a calling, and the rumours of his resignation would write him out of the job for many many moons, but then again were thistle so expect the unexpected

  5. If this was done in an office or factory P45 would be the result.Excuses about it being a bit of fun would not be accepted.They are

    bringing the club into disrepute.

     

    You honestly think they are bringing the club into disrepute?

  6. This.

     

    Even if they get up to shenanigans with their team-mates when not training, I don't see how that affects their performance on the pitch. When I'm on my lunchbreak or after work I'd sometimes do daft things with my mates, but I don't think it affects my ability in my job.

     

    Exactly and Dark Passenger if you don't like their tweets stop following them on twitter

  7. My employer has a social media policy, yes. If I posted something that it deemed unacceptable then I'd expect to be hauled over the coals for it.

     

    As I've said, the topic presents two scenarios - blanket ban or restrained use. A player tweeting about how he 'enjoyed the game' or 'wishes to thank the fans for their support' or even 'think their was an overreaction to yesterday's result' is completely different to posting a picture of a knob while wearing club attire.

     

    This whole sanitisation of the game is one of the reasons its dying, if the players cant be characters off the park and express themselves what chance do they have of doing it on the park.

     

    What they did in the picture is nothing more than you would find in any factory up and down the country, its tom foolery nothing else

  8. This is nonsense, twitter had nothing to do with us being mince yesterday, bad tactics, lack of fight and poor management on the day did.

     

    These guys have a life outside the club and should be allowed to, unless the forum pc brigade decide they shouldnt, when we were doing alright people were happy that conrad etc were tweeting on how the game had went etc.

    Get a Grip

  9. Cup shocks happen, just happened to be our turn today. Keep the faith.

     

    Twice in one season!!!

     

    1st time we had a new team and they were bedding in, but was against a league team

     

    Today was unacceptable, from the manager and players, they have to learn from this fast and go out and hammer culter in the replay, a struggled 1-0 may be a result but wont boost the morale or confidence of the fans or team

  10. Berwicjk result was worse. We missed out on an away tie at Easter Road. We're still in the cup. Let the fans in for a fiver and the kids for nowt then we can move on.

     

    Thistle till I die B)

     

    Berwick are a league team who got to that round to play us on merit

     

    Culter are a pub team who got to play us after getting beaten by another small non league team who messed up their paperwork.

     

    This is a worse result on the park, just lucky we have a second chance

  11. He better get the whole team in for a double training session tomorrow at 1st light, this has ruined mine and a lot of other fans weekends, should ruin the players and managements too.

     

    Not good enough :thumbdown:

  12. I think he'll be happy to get match fit and get in the shop window for january. Two boys livi signed recently are playing for Travel expenses and win bonuses. It could be a win-win for both parties imo.

     

    Fixed that for you

  13. Good luck to them if they get there.

     

    Totally agree, this carry on about having to put 10,000 8,000 6,500 deats in, undersoil heating pitch protection in and having it ready for the end of the promotion season , start of next season , half way through the 1st season is nonsense. 3000 seats and adequate standing areas is all this countrys teams need, whats the point in bankrupting clubs for a 1 or 2 year flight with the big boys to occupy 4,000 of your seats to then drop back down to utilise half of that with your perfectly good terracing now unable to be used as you have played with the big boys

  14. Out of curiosity, would that apply if we sink to bottom place and start looking like we might stay there?

     

    Before anybody wets their knickers, the question is just out of curiosity!

     

    If we had lost all our games so far, yes i'd agree with some of the calls for change but we've not, we have beaten top of the league by 5 goals at home, broke our hoodoo at dens, but we have also lost games we should have won.

    Look at who is in this league this year who have bigger budjets and expectations than us

     

    Dundee

    Livi

    Falkirk

    Morton

    Accies

     

    Thats 5 out of 10 that are expected to be challenging, add to that Ross Countys exceptional start (with a settled squad and manager) and we are probably where we should be, we are a mid table club these days after years of financial mismanagement and decline, anytthing above 5th is a huge bonus with the squad, its age and inexperience of the management team
