BBG has had a few incorrectly disallowed so he deserves any break here 👍

Exactly, including at least 1 at Hamilton

Why? 

More a generalisation re overall play and individual performances. Tho' obviously TV viewers are at an advantage re contentious refereeing decisions etc.

Ben Stanway btw. Some boi.

The young teams were out in force last night and the behaviour is escalating back towards the 'casuals' of the early 80s. Its not going to be long before someone gets seriously hurt and my money is on some supporter who is in no way connected to these groups. Getting kept inside a freezing stadium for 10 minutes post final whistle because the Police reckon there's going to be problems is 2 arse cheek levels of behaviour and the last thing we want to be is a tribute act to their Neanderthal's 

There was a bit of a set to just as we got through the turnstiles. I then overheard a conversation were Manpreet was largely saying Hamilton young team wanted to meet for a square go and he talked as if somehow he had done the right thing by only giving them limited information but then giving them a fight when they approached pre-game. The boy obviously enjoys his 'celebrity fan' tag and needs to either set a better example to his disciples or keep a low profile for a good while.

Our 'young team' need to can this behaviour. Best way of not engaging with other young teams is just not to respond on social media. Too many kids these days forget you don't have to answer folk just because they taunt you on facebook, instagram etc. They put a block button in those apps for a reason.

Also going to games dressed the same (black jackets, black trousers, snoods) has been done before. Its not clever, not retro, you're not ultras, you're not hard and you look like a whalloper.

Just saw a photo: I like that Accies top. Maybe it's not to the taste of some folk who don't like mustard, which I love!

Proper yellow is better. 😉

I’m not in favour of casuals, I’m too old for all that nonsense. But Manpreet has energy that needs channelled positively.

I watched NY Jets on Thanksgiving Day at Metlife Sradium.  Built on Meadowlands Swamp.  Freezing late November.   It has no roof and parts of concourse are open to the elements with wind cutting you in half.  Bonkers design.  THAT needed a roof. 

I get the drive to keep the sport an outdoor one, and they generally seem to love their snow games but the decision to build a new stadium in Buffalo that doesn't have a roof is bizarre to me. 

They must feel it gives them an advantage, especially when it comes to playoff time

While certainly not definitive one way or the other, if you look where Graham’s feet and the leftmost defender’s foot are in relation to the 6 yard line, it’s clear to me that this is marginal and Graham may well be onside

ETA- this was captured and zoomed by me from the BBC freeze frame at the time Fitz crosses the ball.

Thought the same, after initially thinking it was offside.

Could easily be on and a great decision from the linesman.

Who is Manpreet ?

I always look to comments from posters who are at the game and value their opinions ahead of those who watch on TV/Stream etc. So above points taken.

But what amazes me, partickthedog, is how when the temperature was minus 6C did you manage to get your fingers to work on your keypad? 🙂

Managed a couple of quick posts and then it was gloves back on in a hurry!

Still don't think it was as cold as that night in Alloa.

I particularly remember the penultimate game of the league 2 years ago. Stevie Lawless had just equalised to make it 2-2. Graham "scored" in the last minute, but it was incorrectly disallowed for offside. If it had been given and other results remained as they were, we would have finished second in the league, and perhaps been better placed for the play offs.

I've never understood it either. Be good to know why we do it. Never used to be the case. 

Usually in the end decisions boil down to money.  Who is paying the piper.

Could it be that "Corporate hospitality" calls the tune. If you pay extra to visit a match and fund the club you might expect the best view or perspective. Just like the box at the theatre. They wouldn't stick corporate anywhere with a more restricted view and the club are hoping those customers get the big finale

I find keyboard warriors that lead into pavement dancers change their ways when they get a swift punch on the jaw.  No need for fights around football for any reason at any club.

Sorry mate you've got it all absolutely wrong. 

The young team have been attacked twice by falkirk.      I think 3 times by the accies and once by livi. ..

Not once have they started any fights 

What would you suggest they do to defend themselves.

I dislike calling them the "Thistle young team" as that almost implies acceptance. Groups who fight at or around football games are idiots no matter their age or intention. I really dislike that my kids safety is been put at risk so a group can call themselves 'ultras' no matter who they proclaim to support.

I haven't said that our mob have started anything just that behaviour is escalating and someone is going to get hurt. Witnessed at Livingston one bystander getting punched and another local resident getting their car damaged so it won't be long before someone is severely hurt.

I notice you have made no suggestions on how to de-escalate before it gets to that point. My original post gave some suggestions on how that can be done. Please feel free to add your own but don't excuse the problem by trying to say its ok because the other mob started it.
