beep0608 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 According to todays Record a certain Mr James Charnley will be one of the new "entrants" to the HOF! Excuse me for being a stuck record but if Jackie Campbell doesn't get in then I'm going to start getting a bit p*ssed off, and I won't take the Hall Of Fame seriously until he is. There. Rant over again, for now. I've said my piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Thistle Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Excuse me for being a stuck record but if Jackie Campbell doesn't get in then I'm going to start getting a bit p*ssed off, and I won't take the Hall Of Fame seriously until he is.

Jackie Campbell is in the Hall of Fame - he went in a couple of years ago with the rest of the 71 team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Jackie Campbell is in the Hall of Fame - he went in a couple of years ago with the rest of the 71 team I would think that some truly outstanding servants deserve to go in on their own merits, not only as part of a team. For that reason Alan Rough and Jackie Campbell certainly deserve their own place in the HoF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that reason Alan Rough and Jackie Campbell certainly deserve their own place in the HoF. Agree but perhaps there is a case in delaying their induction seeing they've a wee share already. With that in mind I'd prefer to see Donnie McK and George Niven go in ahead of Jackie & Alan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legend Blows Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) I assume all this Hall of Fame guff is aimed at the more mature supporter. Been watching Thistle for the last 21 years and can barely think of a standout player who you'd put in a Hall of Fame. Sure we have the odd good player every year or so but it's all a bit cringeworthy if you ask me. Stuggle to see how we can have a Hall of Fame when most players never hang around much more than 2 or 3 seasons and we win bugger all.

We should mind that many of the present or potential inductees may not have hung around at Firhill had there been freedom of contract. Others may of course had stayed with us if the Club hadn't punted them for transfer money when they had no intentions of leaving. Looking at it from another way I could make a case for Rowson once he's chucked it to be included in the H o F. He's played to a consistently high standard for us, always gets tore in, an excellent example to younger players and in today's climate has been loyal to the Club. He's everything I would want in character to be inducted but I fear he'll be well down the pecking order as he's played at a time when we've been at best mediocre. I doubt many folk will look back on the era when he first joined us to when he hangs up his boots with nostalgic fondness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But actually, isn't Donnie McK also there as a member of the League Cup winning squad? (He might have played in some earlier rounds?)

How about Archie, is he already an inductee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vom Itorium Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 With all this is, isn't he in chat it would be a nice idea for the Hall of Famers to be permanently recognised on the Official Site. It would certainly save all the confusion as to whether someone's in or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Col Posted August 27, 2011 Administrators Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 We can also make a "Hall of Fame" page out of the information gathered - if that would be useful? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I've put a list of the PTHA Thanks for that . btw Do Celtic not have a Hall of Fame? If they do I'd put Wee Bertie down as being likely the first to get the hat-trick (Jags HoF, another club HoF & SFA HoF) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
