Shaun Maloney just sacked. Just sayin'.
You're as bad as McCall. He mentioned on the pre-match (defeat) discussion from Ibrox that he'd been discussing a managerial vacancy with Billy Dodds just after he mentioned Thistle. I reckon you're both just trying to start rumours!

I add my thanks to the others. Being responsible for this site can't have been easy over the years and I wish you all the best. The site has been a (sometimes) welcome place to talk things Thistle and your hard work behind the scenes has been welcomed by many of us who have not always shown due appreciation.

A friend once told me years ago about a saying in (I think it was) Albania: "He's busy crawling under the table sniffing for farts", to describe people desperately trying to find something to be outraged by.
I believe this is much more than a few outraged people. It is an orchestrated pro-Israel campaign which seeks out so called anti-semetism in its support for Nehenyatu and the IDF's actions in Palestine.

People might take you more seriously if you didn't come over as such a cretin.
I often have issues with JJ's points and don't agree with a lot he says but personal insults are not necessary.

Just watched this. The Airdrie commentator was sure it should have been a penalty!

How do you go about claiming a prize? I have just noticed my name in one of the other prizes but have had no confirmation.

I just don’t get why some people appear to think that appointing Brian Graham as manager is the answer.
Can someone please explain it.
Not sure many people look at it as " the answer", more of an inevitability due to lack of finance. Doolan got the job because he was already employed by the club therefore was a cheaper option.

A very long winded way of saying, it's been quite a fall since Mr David Beattie.
Whose desire not to be a major share-holder was the beginning of all this.

Why is it waffle to suggest that Players step up when there contract is being renewed ?
Because then the reverse would be true and players would switch off as soon as they signed their contract.

Just watched the "highlights" on Jagzone. In a 5 minute reel there was one corner for us and that was the only time it showed the Raith half of the pitch. I can't recall ever seeing a match where the media team could find so few positives. Even the live commentary yesterday was depressing.

They haven’t happened yet. Apply from April this year.
Yes, but budgets will need to be adapted to accomodate.

Thats the point - we are not Fan Owned - we are Fan Run - TJF decide every aspect of PTFC - now for those in TJF this is ok - but thats less than 50% of the Fan Base
However - what has to be accepted is that we are rapidly running out of cash - we are going no where -on the park or off it -there is No Plan B - we have had unprecedented levels of cash input and its been blown
TJF are 100% responsible for the direction of travel of the Club
Its on them if we fail
Im not against Fan Ownership - however what we have is going to kill the Club
Despite being asked several times on various threads, you have never come up with an alternative (never mind a viable one). You spend a lot of time criticising PTFC Trust and TJF but what would you have instead?

We can support and fund the Club without giving the money to TJF
TJF are not PTFC - albeit its very hard to differentiate these days
They have 1800 members - thats half of our support
1 - How?
2 - TJF are not running the club no matter how often you repeat it. They are supporting the club financially.
3 - How are the other half of the support giving money to the club that TJF members aren't?

It's much easier to sign up than cancel. I can cancel a streaming service at the click of a button. Why make it a process to email TJF and wait on a response or the same by contacting a bank? TJF have never actually made it clear on how to cancel your membership, I had to get an answer on here. Gives the impression to me that the process is being protected and locks people in by having to look for answers then contact someone to get out. Are TJF worried about significant cancellations if it was easier to do so, given the clubs on field performance and continued losses? Knowing if people have to sit and compile an e-mail and wait its much more likely to be seen as a hassle and slip their mind and infact I have been personally guilty of this, I looked in the past and when I couldn’t figure it out it just slipped my mind. Uch its only £10 per month not worth the bother. Just comes across as sneaky. An open organisation allows people to come and go, not put up barriers to those wanting out, if someone emails TJF are they going to be pressured into keeping their subscription? What if someone doesn’t want to personally cancel because they know they’ll be seen as not buying into the vision as such?
The organisation is very vocal on its growing membership numbers etc but has never made it clear on how to cancel or made it easy to do so. Well, I know now I suppose.
Did you read what WJ said three posts ago?

Or the player didn’t want to come, or the wages required by player or parent club were too high. There is various ways a transfer doesn’t happen
Aye but we'll all pick the one which suits our own agenda.

Jagzone commentary reflecting the teams efficiency! Keeps breaking up.

Auditors do not tell you to make the change to incorporate the ladies team.They can only confirm that the change is OK to do, or facilitate the change.
The decision was made by someone on the board.
Which is precisely what WJ said.

I was alluding to Mr McCall being quoted with an interest.
Not for me personally but plenty will see him as an option.
Not sure if he'll be considered by the board though?
We'll find out soon enough...
When a certain poster talked about this previously, there was an opinion put forward that the Director of Football (or whatever it is titled) would be responsible for mens', womans' and youth teams and this ruled out certain names, either because they wouldn't want to include all football or it was felt they were not interested in anything apart from mens' team.

Good to know the board read social media including this forum 😀
Still looking to add 3 players (therefore loan or out of contract) within a budget that is 20% lower but we are hiring a Sporting Director. More details in the link.
What difference it makes to a story when it comes from someone who knows what is going on compared to the guesswork and embellishments of the social media version.

The "trans rights" flags represent an ideology that says women's sport is for men too: in a word, misogyny. Given men's physical advantages, that is anti-women. (Let's not go down the path of mentioning men romping about in women's private spaces - oops, I just have. There is a reason for having a women's team that isn't just a repeat of the men's team.) Let's keep Partick Thistle - men and women - respectful of women's rights.
This is simplifying an issue of peoples' rights down to a nadir which also claims that supporting Muslim rights to worship only involves banning Christmas.

Enlighten me - what exactly Im I proposing ?
The Club is a mess - off the park & on it
We have blown a massive Football Budget & are clinging onto 4th
We run at a £280k loss ( despite investment over the last 2 Seasons of circa £1.5MN)
We dont respond to fans correspondence - despite having more office staff than we did in the Premier
The reason we dont need to worry about Fans is because all the Board needs to do is keep TJF happy & they will vote them in year on year - no matter what
So what is it that Im “ proposing” ?
Precisely, nothing!

Well Im not “ in the know” but I know this - we have blown a massive budget due to poor recruitment
We are now offloading anyone we can -to cut costs and slow down the cash burn
We are not “ strengthening” our squad in January
The board are hoping we hold off QP to hang onto 4th ( fortunately they got beat yesterday ) - if we sack Dools we will get Brian Graham
At the AGM we will elect the exact same Board to give us more of the same next Season
There is No Plan to move the Club Forwards on the Park or off it
How's about looking into that crystal ball and get the lottery numbers? Then you could fix all the club's woes.

Last season Adeloye proved you can make a good impression and score goals as back-up striker in this squad. Surely other strikers not getting a game elsewhere can see this.
So are you saying that strikers not getting a game with other clubs will be happy to come to Firhill and still not get a game? Unless we are offering more money for sitting on the bench than other clubs, why should players move? And do we really want strikers who are happy not playing?

Great move as long as it's enforced. Might just mean teams will turn around quicker instead of the slow build up we see just now. Too often the outfield players are standing still waiting for the keeper to kick out while the keeper is waiting for the outfielders to somehow be unmarked.
