  1. It's quite straightforward Blackford doesn't come across very well to your average punter. The only people that defend him are diehard SNP supporters. The people on here defending him defend everything the SNP does and will vote Yes anyway. In order to achieve their goal the SNP needs to win over 6% of the floating vote. He does not come across as the man to do it.
  2. The power grab might have been the motivation for that. But the point still stands. Any one who joins a political party is already a diehard. As are you. I was talking about people who are floating.
  3. Blackford doesn't come across well to anyone other than the SNP diehards who are already convinced. He is not going to convert anyone who is undecided. Get him punted.
  4. Because it happens every day. The masses have just paid attention because it's a football club that they either love or hate. It'll keep happening because the people with money sponsor political parties to ensure it's allowed to keep happening. I mean one of the worst culprits is in the most powerful position on earth. Remember the fuss about offshore tax accounts. Big story for a few weeks. A few high profile celebs are singled out then it's forgotten and nothing changes. Same thing here people make a big fuss about Rangers asset stripping but miss the bigger picture that it's allowed and money people do it every day.
  5. After what happened the last time we were relegated from from the SPL I hope so.
  6. I found them here https://ptfc.co.uk/tickets-matchday/2018-19-season-tickets/tickets-matchday-2018-19-season-tickets-prices/
  7. Right I can say this now without sounding like i have a vested interest. I don't want an 18 team league. It produces far too many boring games. People say they get bored playing the same team 4 times a season, but it,s not the number of times you play that's boring it's meaningless games that are boring. Thistles fourth games with Hamilton Ross Co. and Dundee brought in an extra 1000 each on the earlier fixtures because their was something to play for. If it was an 18 team league the teams 9th-12th would have nothing to play for and the crowds would be down. 4 smaller leagues mean more relegation battles, more promotion battles. Just more interesting games. Thistle are now in the Championship. it's a great league. it would disappear if we had an 18 team league.
  8. Highly debatable. A poorer club yes but the evidence in European football this season suggests he went to superior league.
  9. It's not Brexit that makes it more difficult to get. Remember that global bank crisis? and the only time mortgages were any cheaper than they are now was before we were in the EU.
  10. The club should now be seeking a replacement for Archie and they have to get it right. I'm struggling to see any decent managers who would be available at this stage in the season. Maybe someone out there who would normally be out of our reach might take it on until the end of season as a shot to nothing to boost their image. Saving the doomed club might look good on their CV. But sacking Archie just to get someone like Butcher or Hughes as a caretaker to the end of the season isn't a good idea in my opinion. So I'm saying yes unfortunately Archie's time has come but don't push him until a better option is available.
  11. It's not just Facebook Jim Duffy has been mentioned here. As well as Paul Paton as a player.
  12. No you're wrong if it had been left at that I wouldn't have seen it. I only saw it because an SNP MP retweeted it.
  13. Another piece of shit that I've only seen because those that are offended publicise it. If you want something to spread around the internet don't sent it to people who agree sent to to people who disagree. Kate Hopkins makes a living out of it.
  14. Also from Thistle history website v Rangers 1969 So you're right that it did survive longer than the January '68 storm. http://partickthistleahistory.wikifoundry.com/page/v+Rangers+(H)+Sep1969
  15. Definitely Firhill, definitely north end Ruchill park and the Panmure Street tenements in the background. I searched google for Firhill 1971 and this is the only image showing the North terrace. it confused me at first but further searching found this from Celticwiki Semi-Final 4 August 1971 Celtic 4 - 2 St Johnstone [hide]Glasgow 19:30 BST Stadium: Firhill Park Attendance: 30,000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1971–72_Celtic_F.C._season
  16. I think you might be wrong. Here's Celtic v St Johnstone Dryburgh cup sf a month earlier.
  17. What do you mean meh? That will be our 6th must win game in a row.
  18. That's nothing his younger brother has 15500 posts on football website.
  19. Did he make an arse of mending his brogues?
  20. GD stands holding one end of the wet wipe to the front and one to the back and sweeps it back and forward. Try and get that image out your head.
  21. I heard someone talking recently about the difference between China and the USA, saying that America change their Government but not their policies and China changes their policies but not their government.
  22. Football is the only industry I know that talks down one of its income streams. The cup represents one of the only chances of a significant income boost to clubs. You don't need to win it to make money out of it. There is significant money to be made by getting to the semi finals or even in Thistles case this year an away tie against one of the old firm. An Aberdeen v United tie should have been hyped up and been close to a sell out. Instead the clubs allow talk of more important games. Uniteds next game isn't until the 23rd of February. away to Livingston ffs. Better get your ticket early for that one. I love cup games but they're being badly sold by football.
