  1. Yup had a couple as well.
  2. I also enjoyed the game at Firhill minus the last min goal and the result. It was exactly how the game should be played with 2 teams going for it. Erskine has been such a great re-addition to our side and I think he could win us some points this year that normally we would struggle with. Definitely think a draw was a fair result so was a bit of a blow but we've now played Aberdeen and Hearts with narrow defeats and beaten Inverness so hopefully can just keep improving and do alright this season. Fair play to Hearts on their turn out, sold out their allocation, good effort!!! Tony Watt was ok, decent finish although haven't seen replay to see if keeper could have done better at such a tight angle.
  3. I wish, the rest of the guys were useless with their picks!!! Would have made some good single bets though!!
  4. Last season we did a weekly work accumulator, we sent our teams via Whatsapp. Regularly I would just send a message saying 'whoever York are playing' - usually worked
  5. I'm glad Hemmings is away, have rued the day that Archibald had him on trial at Thistle and didn't sign him then had to watch the amount of goals he scored for Dundee including against Thistle.
  6. A few of the Thistle players past and present have been members of and posted on Thistle Facebook pages. Of course that is slightly different to a forum and they lose the anonymous part of it but it was good to see them interact with fans so you know they are reading posts etc. It is for that exact reason that Thistle fans love Chris Erskine and welcome him back with open arms but hate Paul Paton despite them both leaving at the same time for the same team for probably the same reason. Chris was on the page saying it was a great opportunity for him (thankfully for Thistle it wasn't) and that he'd loved Thistle and thanked for the support etc. Paul Paton gave it Billy Big Baws and started arguing with fans etc about his decisions to leave etc. Didn't leave with much grace!! So to the forum question, no idea but you'd surely get curious? As for Facebook, aye in Thistle's case anyway.
  7. Doubt it, I have absolutely no idea who she was, perhaps just a model hired for that day.
  8. Aye sadly the 3 of them are never seen around Firhill anymore, although only the middle one is missed
  9. I really like the Hearts strip although I see Puma have just brought back an old Thistle strip and changed silver to yellow:
  10. We were there years ago as kids and my sister's safety bar started to come loose on one of the rides, she was fine but a bit scary at the time. Haven't liked the place ever since. Hope everyone this time has a speedy recovery.
  11. Stuart Bannigan has realised that the grass isnt greener away from Firhill...either that or no one wants him after his knee injury but either way he's signed a new 2 year deal for the Jags... ...Super happy with that one, great player for us and will be a very important part of our team for next season. Personally had no grudges with him wanting to leave and challenge himself, he deserved it and it's a shame an injury held him back but from a selfish point of view I'm glad he's staying
  12. It's been completely relayed, still growing back, will be perfect for beginning of season
  13. I just read it on a shared Facebook post, maybe just one person who used coin instead of pound, I have seen the pound thrown around too and its just as w*nky to be fair!!!!
  14. http://ptfc.co.uk/news/2016-2017/june_2016/2016_17_home_kit_on_sale_now Thistle gone for a slightly different home strip style to normal. It's getting mixed opinions among fans but I like it
  15. Didn't expect anything to happen but its utterly ridiculous because they've said they will make it up to Thistle, Hamilton and Motherwell next season by giving them the 4 games instead... ...However thats no bloody to use to those 3 teams if 1 or 2 of them end up getting relegated. If they don't get relegated then there's 1 or 2 new teams joining the league and how will it work with them? Will they have to keep arranging fixtures each year to ensure a few teams get 4 home games instead? They have completely buggered this up for years to come when they simply could have just ensured all teams had 3 home games against Rangers and Celtic like they did in previous years.
  16. Yes!! Very bizarre!! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/1495761/Harvey-blames-potato-feast-for-freak-accident.html
  17. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_James_Hollywood - No anymore he's not, doing a life stretch!!
  18. Agreed, great film, he plays the part well, very underrated film too. Always found it crazy it was allowed to be released before Jesse James Holywood's trial given it was based on that murder. Tragic sounding accident anyway, RIP!!
  19. It's been said before and i'll say it again. This is not about the cash cow, this is completely about the imbalance. Yes the cash helps but Partick Thistle have been in the Premiership for 3 seasons now, all of which Rangers haven't been a part of and we have coped fine financially and have managed to stay up all 3 seasons. Having expected 3 home games against Rangers and Celtic Thistle as well as Motherwell and Hamilton made the teams come up with expected budgets and expectations for the season but now have to compete with similar sized teams getting double the money they 3 teams are going to get, allowing for them to sign better players, finish higher in the league and therefore get more prize money etc and the circle continues!!! Yes the money helps, but Thistle can cope without it, its the imbalance that makes it more difficult to compete!!
  20. After Thistle kicked up a stink yesterday about only getting 2 home games against the old firm I am seeing the w*nkiest of all w*nky phrases getting thrown about by deluded Rangers fans: 'The Blue Coin' Used by Rangers fans to describe the money they kindly donate to teams smaller and less financially fortunate than they are.
  21. Hopefully so, I used to think of us as being quite a Scottish filled team until I seen that stat but now when I think about it we weren't really this season, there was points when between goalkeeper and defence we only had 1 Scot in Calum Booth, 1 Czech, 1 Belgian, 1 English and 1 Sierra Leonean made up the defence. Midfield regularly had 1 English and 1 Ghanaian in it and when we played Pogba instead of Doolan we had a Guinean up front too. This is probably the most non Scottish Thistle side I have ever witnessed. But as you say, with the recent investment hopefully more Scottish youngsters make their way through.
  22. Funny that cause yer neighbours down the road have w*nk owners
  23. Can't wait for Partick Thistle v Celtic at Celtic Park on August 13th... ....Oh wait they will be away playing Inter Milan
