    How do I go about getting my £5.. refund for my over 65s ticket that I bought on Monday??? Any ideas.. Why

    Fanbase state in their terms and conditions that they will not get involved in disputes. Effectively they are saying that they act as agents.

    Hamilton Accies phone number is 01698 368650. Email  enquiries @acciesfc.co.uk

     

    I suggest that you contact the club directly,  and I wish you luck.

    Then to Thistle

    Good to see TJF put out a statement on the detrimental price alterations, particularly for young people and families.  The statement is critical of Hamilton Accies for charging prices out of kilter with the remaining Division clubs, their pricing for young fans, and as well as emailing this to members, it is available in the News section of TJF's website. This is a benefit of having a 1000+ member's organisation acting for you. A loud voice.

    Hamilton's timing of this "mid season alteration" to prices seems to me to be a cynically timed ploy for the arrival of a club with a large following of younger fans. That’s us. We want young fans to attend  football, and previous posters have pointed out this is not the way  to do it. 

    Accies fans are at odds with their club's owners because  of the prices charged for entry, as well as other grievances. When a club is sold to new owners, you really don't know  ( as a fan) what you are getting.  What a blessing Thistle is a fan owned club!!

    Lovely seeing the name bill shankly among the jags' scorers. Think he was stationed at maryhill barracks. Utterly fascinating read...

    Bill served with the RAF at RAF Bishopbriggs during and shortly after World War 2.. His biography, on his page in the players' pages of the Archive, is also included in the Partickle "The Partick Thistle Returned". I've attached the biography below He met his future wife when at RAF Bishopbriggs.

    Currently just arrived in Trieste, Italy. We have been out of the UK for the past week and a half, with intermittent Internet coverage. I know that you have had a wonderful sports writing career, and your post  (as well as finding out yesterday's result) has really given me a wonderful start to a sunny day. What you say still brings joy, & I wish you many sunny days for the future. I hope the team management and players read your entry, & understand why they need to see the season  out in style! 

    Up the Jags!👍

    I was reading the table as only the teams selected for the tv games get the tv money. 

    LJ is correct. Table info states tv money for teams involved in games chosen, with both teams receiving a payment.

    Even so, big increase from the previous round in exit payment.  Needless to say I'm looking forward to the Jags progressing in the tournament.

    No thanks. Let's have a bit of ambition. Decent winnable tie and then get the financial rewards LATER in the cup. 

    I'm  with the above. Lose in the 5th round and the exit award is £47,250, excluding tv cash. 

    Get to the 6th round, and the exit fee more than doubles to £102,000. 

    That sort of cash should  make even JJ happy.   😇

    Excellent points.

    I remember a good 20 years ago there were a bit of a promotion of the club at Glasgow Uni for instance when i attended.  I was already a long term supporter by that point anyway but it was a good way of attracting potential new supporters.

    Alas my uni days are long behind me so i have no idea if there is stil much promotion of the club at any of the cities Universities or colleges.

    Completely agree with you as well about the toilet facilities etc too

    The obvious way to promote the club at the 3 Glasgow universities would be a stall at the year start Freshers Week in September.  Too late for this season, but good for the future.

    Some support or interest in the universities' football teams (male and female) may also produce dividends.

  19. Home vs Inverness 23.12.2023

    I had a look at this on YouTube, and the match did restart with an indirect free kick.  Whatever the offence,  why wait till the goal before indicating the issue? The "double tap" offence ( if that was the issue) occurred when the player dribbled towards goal - not after it was scored! Likewise for the timing of any other offence. 

    As Toyah would say " It's a mystery "

    Rule 3 added comment

    WJ's original post on this event was that  it was a good goal if it hadn't been for the referee assistant beckoning James Craigen away. Perfectly correct.  But the assistant did shush the player away. 

    Let's look at the corner. Did the player who took the corner move the ball as outlined  in law 17? Yes he must have.  If not the dribbler took and played from the corner,and took more than one touch. Indirect free kick.

    Was James Craigen permitted to intervene? In the circumstances outlined above, yes.

    The goal was allowed. What law permitted  the referee to change the decision? Law 5 outlines the referees' authority. Law 5.3 outlines the referee's power and duties. Law 5.3 defines " outside  interference". It defines interference as " stops, suspends or abandons the match for any offences or because of outside interference e.g.  if.....

    I remember  vividly my mentor Tiny Wharton telling  me yonks ago that the laws of football are written  to allow that most important intervention of common sense to be used. That flexibility hasn't  changed, to my mind. The e.g. above is all-encompassing, not prescriptive. 

    Did waving James Craigen away trigger "outside interference " ? I believe that the referee thought so. If James Craigen hadn't  gone to intercept the corner, the dribbler went on and the outcome was the goal, we would have no option other than to salute the goal. That didn't happen .  The referee's powers in Rule 3 include "acts on the advice of other officials. " I believe  that the assistant  would have been happy if the ball had been blasted over the bar. He had the guts to acknowledge  the mistake and brought about a fair outcome.

  24. If you didn't support Thistle in Scotland, who would you support?

    In the horrible event of Thistle ceasing to exist ( the previous board did, IMHO, make a good attempt at this) I too wouldn't support or even go and see another Scottish  team.

    I would still contribute to the Thistle Archive, because club or no club, that would continue to find new material, I'm sure.

    I may go and watch local clubs in my area in the Southern Leagues, and Dover Athletic - but very occasionally.

    According to the BBC the Commissioner has listened to the strong  opinion against the busses review, and has "shelved" the review meantime.

    This may, though, return, when they actually do proper research. I trust Scottish  Football  will use the time this rubbish sits own the shelf to carry out their own review, and be prepared for the battle when it returns.
