Cheers, glad it's not just me. Hopefully the club put something out to let people know when it'll be fixed.
It works if you take the second T out of the code.

Does the code for the free bus travel actually work for anyone? The one emailed to us isn't recognised by the first app.
I just setup the app and tried. Didn’t work even though I followed all the steps and pasted the code directly from their email
- Select ‘Mtickets’ tab then set your region to Glasgow Network
- Select ‘Day’ category and add your Adult Day Ticket to your basket.
- Enter code: (TBC) at checkout.

The reaction to the potential signing of McDaid makes me wonder what some people would have made of Lambie’s signings if they’d had widespread social media back then. Regularly we signed ‘duds’ on free transfer from Accies, Falkirk, Dundee etc, who then went onto be great players for us. Now some people start hunting players out the door in response to an internet rumour, let alone an actual transfer.

This (last) season against QoS: WI, DI, LI*. It was hardly a surefire 3 points at Palmerston for you.
* That was the game where Brownlie scored to get us the 3pts that kept us above you in the end. I'd be more angry at him if I were you...The game in hand was against ICT. Two 3-1 wins from two matches against them in the aborted season. Not unreasonable to believe we could have secured 3 points if that game had been played.

Is this the same youth set up he had recently pulled all funding from, which let's not kid on, would have led to it being closed down?
If I was putting in my own money to allow the club to secure a long term sustainable cash and player stream and someone told me that a venture capitalist would be reaping the benefits instead I’d stop the funding too.
But then I couldn’t find a photo of me supporting the Jags before the club started photographing the crowds a few years ago so I can’t prove my credentials as a fan of 45 years and a season ticket holder of 35+ years

We had the stuff about the Docherty and Brownlie on PCAs which are yet to be confirmed by the club (as far as I am aware)
Both were confirmed by the manager a few weeks ago

Said to my pal he was the worst player I'd seen in ages but I bet he scores today.
Do you shut your eyes when Miles Storey is on the pitch? That waster showed again today that he knows little other than getting his head down and running as fast as he can towards the opposition byeline?

I like GC but has a lot to answer for letting go club stalwarts doolan and erskine, experienced players that thistle need in a tough division.
The release of Doolan & Erskine will be a small and distant memory if we are successful this season. If we aren’t then it will be a stick to beat the manager with. I’m sure he knows how big a call it was to make so let’s hope his judgement isn’t ill placed.

I’m sure GC knows what needs done, and I’m sure AA did last year - but he couldn’t make it happen so we had a scramble in August. When we look back at last season the model of success for me was Ross County who did all their work early (8 signings by the end of June) and allowed their team to gel through preseason and the cup games. They hit the ground running in August, and boosted their squad with 3 core signings. The words of GC in the summer made me think that was going to be his approach but unless our squad is going to be light in numbers it appears we will be replicating the AA approach of hoping players settle in quickly after being signed once the competitive games start.

If Gordon is fit I'd expect that team to start next week with any new signings on the bench.
I think that lineup from yesterday shows just how little depth there is in our squad currently. If we need one or two for next Saturday then we need five or six for the start of the league campaign.

Got a better manager that 'schooled' Thistle last season on a part time budget
He schooled us so much that we took 7 points from 12 against his team, lost just once to them all season, and we finished above them in the league. Hopefully every other team on the league will similarly ‘school’ us this season.

I have it on good authority (my boy was chatting to Maxwell's relation at a party) that he is in fact a sellick supporter. Maybe he's just not an arsehole sellick supporter. I've heard they exist.
I knew him when he was a kid 13-15ish and he was a Rangers supporter then.

Just caught up with The Sun's piece on Erskine. How can he claim that he was forced out of the club and in the same breath say he'd been ready to leave since Caldwell first came in? That soundbite doesn't doesn't suggest he was committed to the club. It would to have been to everyone's benefit if he'd admitted that he fancied one last crack at the 'big time' and allowed us all to move on.
Just read the online version. Where does he say he’s been ready to leave since Caldwell came in? Is this different to the newspaper version?

For players to thrive they need to be used in a way that they can be at their best.
Erskine may not have hit the high levels he was previously capable of in recent months but it’s clear that some better performing clubs than us think he would be a worthwhile addition to their squad.
Look at Lawless last season with us and look at him this season with Livi. If used right then players like him and Erskine are an asset. And boy do we need assets right now.
AA and GC are both culpable for not utilising those talents to the best of their ability. AA has gone because of his decision making. GC will surely follow, either sooner or later.
When it all shakes out Thistle will be in a worse position as a result of GCs decision to let Erskine in favour of keeping Storey at the club and in the first 11. Our road back will be harder.

Just checked ally roy was Derry’s second top goal scorer in only half a season with 11 goals in Ireland ,next to macaneff who got 14 in a full season .so you’ve got it wrong plus he’ has played in a very successful Northern Ireland under 21s euro campaign ,and according to the Derry journal broke the record of city’s most goals ever in one game with four ,so let’s hope its right but I’ve heard there’s about five teams after him
Just checked where? This site lists all competitive games and he only scored a few https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ally-roy/leistungsdaten/spieler/328430
just seen that this doesn’t include FAI Cup games, so presumably he rattled a few in aganisnt non league amateur teams.

Can I say as well that this is just a snapshot based on raw numbers. Look deeper and you see that we beat Morton twice pre Caldwell but have lost twice to the same team since he came in. We’ve also had the benefit of playing what were when we played them the two bottom teams in the league 3 times and taken 1 point from 9. Easier games, poorer points return.

We've found ourselves in the same position as Falkirk, Dundee and St Mirren in that their previous managers have blown the budget on a load of shite only to be bagged shortly after the transfer window closes. The new guy is unable to improve the performance of the squad he's inherited and gets criticism from the support but when you read through the threads of those clubs there is no nowhere near the same vitriol being being dished out to Mckinnon, McIntyre and Kearney as there is to Caldwell.
Let’s look at that claim in a bit more depth......
Falkirk pre-McKinnon 3 league games 0 points = 0 PPM
Falkirk post-McKinnon 16 league games 13 points = 0.81 PPM
St Mirren pre-Kearney 4 league games 3 points = 0.75 PPM
St Mirren post-Kearney 17 league games 9 points = 0.53 PPM
Dundee pre-McIntyre 8 league games 3 points = 0.375 PPM
Dundee post-McIntyre 13 league games 7 points = 0.54 PPM
Thistle pre-Caldwell 9 league games 9 points = 1.00 PPM
Thistle post-Caldwell 10 league games 5 points = 0.5 PPM
So GC has the worst record of all 4 bosses, and he has experienced the biggest drop in PPM of all 4. He took over the team in the healthiest position of all (averaging a point a game) but has failed to build on that strength and has taken his team backwards, quite significantly. I’d say that your claim doesn’t stack up.

You are completely missing my point. At no stage have I said anything against Archie getting his contract paid up or that its a bad thing. All I am saying is that we cannot afford to have 3 managers and assistants on the books at the club, all getting their full wages, therefore,to me anyway, that makes Caldwell and Kerr unsackable until Archie and Shaggy are off the wage bill.
Or unless we were wise enough to offer an unemployed manager a contract with low value termination terms. To be clear GC was looking for a way back into football, we held the aces so should have been wise enough not to sign up to a contract that left us liable for a two year wage bill if we needed to terminate. Do we honestly think that GC would have rejected us if we’d said 3 months wages is the maximum comp if either party is ending the contract? I’m not sure though that our board are that clever.

I can’t share the negativity towards Harkins. Even in his prime he was never particular fit or fast so he had nothing to lose with age in that respect. He has years of experience playing at a higher level than this and he still has the quality to score and open up defences.
John Lambie used to love filling his teams with old, experienced pros like Jamie Dolan, Danny Lennon, Ray Montgomerie and Paul McGrillen and he didn’t do too badly.
Aye and Lambie could take an average team and motivate it to get results. Do you remember an elderly and ill JL taking over for 3 games and getting a big home win over league leaders Falkirk? He motivatedand energised Armand One to a spectacular brace of goals. Do you remember GC taking over and losing to bottom of the table Alloa? He motivated and energised no one.

I see that Sean Welsh has signed with Falkirk. I liked Sean in the team and wish him well.

From the BBC page
Tom English
"In terms of chances created, Rosenborg were miles ahead of Celtic. Four outstanding moments that they could've converted. As it is, Celtic have survived a horrendous night."
Pat Bonner
"I still think Celtic will go through and they'll be much better next week. They'll have to be sharper and I think they'll come out on top."
What is Bonner's observation based on other than blind loyalty to Celtic? How is it journalism if you ignore facts and make random statements? He could be right, as we all know football isn't cut and dried but I can't help but think his standing and frequent invite to speak at Celtic supporters events could be compromised if he said otherwise. Do we not deserve a media that aren't afraid to upset the OF?

I think Reading would value Keown somewhere between 70k and 150k, don't think we would have paid 150k though so probably about 80 or 90
Alternatively Reading had decided they weren't taking him forward in their plans and were happy to get him off their wage bill - effectively bringing them a saving far in excess of any transfer fee - so we paid no more than a nominal fee to them.
