Pyro has its place, but it’s place is generally with the ultras of Italy and Eastern Europe, not the post-industrial apocalyptic landscape of Methil and certainly not in the hands of 14 year olds from Hyndland. Got to admit I was baffled why we were all being searched on the way in. Can't blame stewards for doing routine searches like that (albeit ineffective in this occasion) if that's the sort of nonsense that people want to start. Extremely dangerous and irresponsible. Add to that the uncalled for FTP & FTQ chants which soured the event for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get miffed at blanket searches like yesterday. Especially when it includes senior fans. I do know that the chief steward apologised to one elderly fan telling him that it was supposed to be random and not routine searching. Now we'll probably have to endure even more frisking at away grounds. It's only a ******* football match after all. Thought the Jags fans were great yesterday. The stand was as near to capacity as damn it. Pre kick off there wasn't a single steward pitch side of the stand to help re getting everyone seated. All to busy a-frisking to bother about other safety issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unfortunate thing is that instances like the smoke bombs make it hard to argue against. A lot of fans seem not bothered by it yesterday, but not sure that will be the case after they find out how much it will cost the club.

Lenziejag Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 1 hour ago, Fearchar said: What struck me (apart from a scything wind, of course!) was how ill-prepared the team looked for the pitch. Is it the case that Storey was wearing the same boots he wears on grass? If so, perhaps that's why he couldn't keep his feet and ended up injured. Until the second half, the players generally seemed to stand off the descending ball as if they could judge how it would bounce, but we should already know how inconsistent the bounce of plastic pitches is. The East Fife players, who play regularly on that pitch, didn't waste time watching but pounced on the ball, often gaining possession and the initiative. We have seen it often enough at New Douglas Park and Rugby Park, but it looked as if that experience was ignored. When was the last time a Partick Thistle team played without a card being issued? Wasn’t Bannigan booked in the 1st half ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Club's made to pay it's effectively costing us fans somewhere down the line. If they can be identified, our Club should be considering a ban too. Throwing a flare near our own fans and a plastic pitch? Idiots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not exactly put off with the way we're treated at away grounds. Don't like it but reluctantly accept it. That said I know Jags fans that are really scunnered with the way they're being treated as a lowest common denominator. If whoever threw the smoke bombs yesterday or whoever supports their actions wants to argue the benefits of doing so I'd like to hear their opinions. We're all Jags fans after all. My own view is close to p the dog's post in so much as the last thing PTFC wants is to be compared in any way to the ugly sisters. I'm presuming whoever threw the smoke bombs are younger fan(s). I'm then hoping he/she/they will understand that virtually all other Jags fans will not want to be associated in any way with those that support those two vile clubs in our city. If he/she/they think that was adding to the atmosphere yesterday I reckon that's extremely debatable. I'm one who's completely behind our younger fans who I think are by far a great credit to PTFC. Just feel that wasn't so clever yesterday. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jukebox Rebel Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 What an amazing difference to the spine of this 2019 team; I'm delighted with the professionalism being shown by Gary Caldwell's Thistle lately, and the great effort being shown by the group as a whole. Also, really pleased to see that we're going about our Scottish Cup business in the correct fashion. Apparently we sent a scout to Dublin last weekend, ok it was a wasted journey in the end, but it underlines the gaffer's commendable attention to detail. Hopefully it's onwards and upwards from here... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Falkirk not playing we would go 8th if we win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to me as if it's the other semi-final the same day (Rangers v QOS) at Hampden which ended 1-1. That might explain it: the uploader getting the details wrong. However, if it was the other semi-final then neither team is wearing what looks like their normal jerseys for that period (from Historicalkits)... That match doesn't appear to be on Youtube; shame, as it might help to clarify, if it turned out to be our match, if that's clear (probably not!).

Rid Skwerr Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 According to the ever-accurate BBC, in their brief Sportscene coverage, East Fife had a good penalty claim when Andy McCarthy blocked the attacker. Andy wasn't even in the squad - it was Penrice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blew a great chance at supersub glory within seconds of coming on but dithered and fluffed his lines, my first impression was he was trying to get the ball onto his best foot (is he one-footed?) One of my mates thought he was a headless chicken, another thought he was a handful. I'd rather have seen Souleymane come on, I've a feeling he'd have had more of the killer instinct. 11 hours ago, Auld Jag said: Yes TJR, we are getting the new manager bounce, 2months or so later than we expected.

My impression after seeing him for 90 mins with the reserves was he looked terribly one footed. Didn't see anything on Saturday to change my mind. Could be tho' he needs time to settle. He also missed a penalty in that reserve game, so perhaps he's just lacking confidence?

partickthedog Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Not quite sure why Mansell has been promoted above Roy. Neither has achieved a great deal, but Roy seems to get himself more involved and to be more intelligently intentional in his play rather than wandering about aimlessly. Not quite sure why either or both of them have been promoted above Coulibaly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
