lady-isobel-barnett Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 My memory is clearly getting worse. Didn't we play Cowdenbeath at Central Park around the time of the 2nd Division campaign in 1970-71? Maybe a Cup match? Maybe you're memory is indeed getting worse.

Jaggernaut Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Maybe you're memory is indeed getting worse. See posts 14 & 15 (click on soccerbase) in this thread Merci! I must be thinking about our 5-1 win there in the League Cup, 72-73. I wonder if Cowdenbeath fans have recovered from the shock of us beating them there back then.

PaleGreySky Posted August 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 There's two bannigans in the U19s team in the youth round up. I've never even heard of the burbridge guys who scored after five minutes, but I'd guess he was playing if he scored after five minutes. Everything that goes on that site has a mistake in it. It's not hard to check things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleGreySky Posted August 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 No, it's not my responsibility and wouldn't take a position unless I had time to do it properly. If someone takes up the responsibility to write for the site, it should be done properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKennan Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 No, it's not my responsibility and wouldn't take a position unless I had time to do it properly. If someone takes up the responsibility to write for the site, it should be done properly. In that case, how little you know about the immediacy of the internet. Actually, that's me being flippant as I'm sure you do. What would you rather have, late news on your club website or the first word with a booh-booh now and again?

Tom Hosie Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 There's two bannigans in the U19s team in the youth round up.

It's not hard to check things... Again, please accept my apology PaleGreySky, and anyone else who read it, my careless error once more. And thanks for drawing it to my attention. BTW, it's Mark Burbrige. First season at Firhill, ex St Mirren. The player profile section could do with being updated - will get on to that once Saturday's programme has gone to the printers.

Lenziejag2 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Could I enter a request, please, for the team line-ups to be clearly printed in the programme? There haven't been any team lines in the last two programmes, which pretty well renders them useless. And please don't let the printers add an extra 1000 to the attendance at the Berwick game. Moreover, please note that the correct form for the unofficial bounce games is "closed-door match", NOT "close door match". Thank you for your kind attention - I will send you other items for correction as I spot them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be pleased to learn that the team lines will be back in Saturday's programme and should be appearing on the back page of the programme for the remainder of the season. The Berwick Rangers crowd was corrected in the Falkirk programme. Your point re 'closed-door match' is noted. Thanks again, and feel free to PM/e-mail me any further observations you might have.

GrantB Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 As someone who has worn out the refresh button many times in the past waiting for the official site to update, I couldn't care less about the odd typo in the articles. I appreciate greatly the effort Tam puts in getting stuff online, especially on a Saturday when work has stopped me from making the game. Take no notice of the detractors and keep up the good work. There are many things wrong with Partick Thistle right now. The official website is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 This thread in an absolute embarassment. Someone puts in what I presume must be a ridiculous amount of hours, entirely voluntarily, purely to help the club, and they get tubes on here criticising entirely insignificant spelling mistakes. Do people genuinely have nothing better to do with their lives than criticise folk who are actually bothering to get up from their keyboard and do something for the club? Utterly embarassing.

Jeehon Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) There's two bannigans in the U19s team in the youth round up. I've never even heard of the burbridge guys who scored after five minutes, but I'd guess he was playing if he scored after five minutes. Everything that goes on that site has a mistake in it. It's not hard to check things... Mark Burbridge does play for Thistle. He was signed on a Professional contract from St Mirren as he was released after a few months or whatever. Great player, played against him many times when he played for Drumchapel. Is that good enough for you? Edited August 31, 2010 by Jeehon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenziejag2 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Before this thread disappears off of the foot of the page, I did promise Tom Hosie I would return with further corrections for the programme. So, to keep the thread going, let's turn to page 3 of the Falkirk programme(24.08.2010)middle column thereof: "We haven't defended it well but the ball has basically just hit ..." should read: We didn't defend it well but the ball basically just hit ... I realise this is simply a matter of tense usage, but we need to get it right! Incidentally, in the first column we have "the Thistle fans that came down", which should of course be 'the Thistle fans WHO came down'. Lots more to follow in due course - for the moment I need to get to Firhill for the Ayr United game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenziejag2 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 I assume that Admin will jump promptly on this sort of unwarranted comment. All that I have submitted here(and elsewhere) to Tom Hosie has been both appreciated and acknowledged. My intention - consistently - is to assist in the process of raising standards at PTFC. There WILL be more to follow and it WILL be grammatically and syntactically accurate. Today's win was pleasing. Who will it be in the semi-final?

There's more worrying & pressing matters that need to be dealt with at PTFC, many with raising standards, than a few spelling/grammar mistakes in a programme.
