  1. Would be right if they decide to not fine us or Hearts. Can they take the high ground and let it slide, or will they stick it in even deeper? I will at least give them some credit if they choose to not 'punish' teams for standing up for themselves, when they've had little choice but to do so. Maybe I'll get a surprise, who knows....
  2. Similar to me dl. I've supported for 50 years too and bought my first ST. Usually only get to a few games a season these days but will make more of an effort now. Have you worked out how to get / use the ST yet? I was hoping for a card or something but so far only have details saying I've bought it.
  3. Colin was in the team of my earliest Thistle memories. Can't believe we got enough pens to have a penalty king. Thanks Cotter
  4. I think I get this. 'Alexithymia is the inability to express emotions or to understand others' emotions' WJ, due to the nature of his job, perhaps, is looking at the probable outcome only. Despite his love of Thistle, he can't see past that outcome. - sorry about the Bold text, can't switch off. The rest of us feel the pain from an unjust decision from an unregulated shower of shite and only want one thing, a fair result. Looking back, we can all now agree that this was as likely as Thistle ever having a player described as a 'Penalty King'. Time will move on but I will never forget this day, ever! Being a Thistle fan, I've felt cheated on many occasions but this really takes the biscuit. There will now be two celebrations after each win; 1. Our victory 2. The defeat of our rivals
  5. Is there a draw this weekend? Just tried to buy tickets but can't see them on the platform. Many Thanks Cotter
  6. This is my copy taken from my Uncles' original.
  7. No, but we have an original picture of the team with the Cup.
  8. If we hadn't teamed up with Hearts, having been given the chance at no financial cost, I would have been embarrassed. Since when was standing up to being bullied, ever about winning anyway? The sense of injustice, now that they've gone and got their big brother to join in, has made me even more delighted by our fight. I was too young to remember our famous '71 victory but any win from this, will be celebrated like the 4th goal that day. The beer is in the fridge and the whisky is knocking on the cupboard door. C'mon Jags!!
  9. Everyone in Corby knows Thistle and there are a few fans down here. There are 11 Thistle Tops (125 Year Silvery Grey ones), in the South West of Germany. Have friends from when I worked there and arranged a Corby v FC Hausen friendly game. We swapped tops at the end. Bit gutted I didn't have a spare to keep.
  10. 2b would do me and does undo relegation.
  11. I care about what's right and wrong and know nothing about the Law. Never mind being in our favour, everything that happened after 16.48 on that Friday, should be wiped clean and any costs relating to it, paid by the people responsible. Take it all back to the point where all votes were in and it was a firm and fair NO. Whoever did what they did after this point, should be dealt with accordingly. All matters after 16.48 were based on lies, corruption and deceit. The SPFL and a number of member clubs in it, are a disgrace to Scotland.
  12. Was sure that before the SPFL got involved, the money was for clubs that needed to survive a crisis. I expected at that time, that none of the clubs in the top league would get any of it, never mind take it and then give it away, albeit to other worthy causes no doubt.
  13. It's a poor show to be honest. In a time we should be trying to bring money to the club, we should be posting results on the main website. How much did the winner get for instance? I've enlisted a few people that have a go now each week and they like to know this stuff. Also noticed that you had to search for the virtual draw before placing a bet. It should be hitting you in the face, the minute you enter the Home Page. In other news, I tried to enrol my Nephew as a Junior Jag before his Birthday in early May. After a couple of emailed exchanges, the case went cold. That's another £30 the club didn't get.
  14. You're spot on Dl, we would have been appalled and in fact, most of us would have been disgusted had our board, although I don't think they would have, voted as the likes of QOS. Promotion and relegation is one thing, but I cannot understand how league reconstruction could ever be voted against by anyone. In fact, if you offered me a vote on the following, I'd vote yes: Thistle get relegated Each league has two extra teams in it Two up, two down with a play off also We get to play > 20 games this season in League 1 I'd certainly feel cheated by the relegation but think that Scottish Football and Thistle, would benefit in the long run. Why oh why are teams with nothing to lose, relegation wise, voting against larger leagues? It's complete madness.
  15. The bobble hat's a belter.
  16. I'd rather fight this and lose from the start, than ride off the back of a Hearts lone fight, should they have won. As for what any one of the other teams think. I couldn't care one jot. In fact, I can't wait to shake off the patronising cuddly toy image. F the lot of them.
  17. Maybe, over on the official website, there could be a small article every second Saturday, advising us which away games are worth going to because of local pub we should visit. Of course, if there is no decent pub to visit, there would be no article.
  18. I was talking about the money being gifted from James Anderson rather than a cash bailout. My starting point before any vote or any handout would be to ask who intends to play the season. Those that don't, shouldn't get a vote on reconstruction. It's debateable as to whether or not they should get any handout either but let's take the high ground and say they should. My nature is to agree that all teams should get through this but I'm struggling to see evidence that other teams have the same sentiment.
  19. It's a nice thought but they'd probably say there were some differences and we'd need to fight our own case.
  20. Only clubs willing to play the upcoming season, however it may look, should be given any type of financial handout. Use the money that's been donated to buy testing equipment etc first. Clubs should not be given any money, if their intention is to just sit tight for a year. If they're already in a state that requires this, they'll likely go bust next year In any case. These clubs should not be allowed to drag down others', such as ourselves and Falkirk into the abyss.
  21. If Hearts win their case and we're not involved, we will end up paying compensation by default, even though we've arguably been treated worse.
  22. The best thing about it. People remember where they and family used to stand on the city end terraces and buy the tickets there. I also remember where I stood at the Forfar 0-0 promotion game too. Happy memories that will return when I win the Euromillions and rebuild it with safe standing.
  23. Sounds good to me. Maybe get the chance to use my first ever season ticket v Dundee. How I'd look forward to that game.
