Ad Lib Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) 6 hours ago, Thistle Bonnet said: Decisions on policing capacity are clearly a Government issue - there was no instruction to the Football Authorities that all games should be postponed on this or any other basis. With regard to games next weekend, I would hope that the Club and any of the Supporters Association are putting forward a strong case that these should go ahead rather than a silent passive and tacit acceptance of decisions by those in power. It's not quite as straightforward as that. Operational decisions about policing are made routinely between the footballing authorities and the police directly, rather than with political involvement, just as they are with any major organised public events. It seems as though, despite the long-standing preparations for this national event, they were caught a bit on the hop by the timing. It strikes me as a bit daft that games with lower attendance (like the PTWFC game TJF were sponsoring that was supposed to take place today) were postponed too, but at short notice it may have been thought easier just to postpone the lot for this weekend. Speaking purely personally, I hope the game against Cove on Saturday can go ahead. I'm sure the Club also hopes this too, given how long a gap it would otherwise leave between home fixtures. But I'm sceptical that either the SPFL or Police Scotland, the key decision-makers in that respect, will pay any heed to supporters' associations calling for the games to go ahead. The matches will either happen because (a) the police have got their shit together and (b) football doesn't want to look silly for not going ahead while other major events do or they won't happen because either or both (a) and (b) don't materialise. ETA: something that's Scottish specific here is that the additional policing requirements in Edinburgh this week would not have been needed had the Queen passed at Windsor or one of her English residencies. As I understand it, for example, there will be a significantly elevated armed police presence in Edinburgh over the next few days, which will disrupt several businesses in the vicinity of the City Centre.

He needs games. It would be a good idea to get Brownlie out on loan - if we can get cover. However, the first thing he needs to do is lose weight. He has had plenty time to do this since he started training again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After his injury they cant run him at training and will only get fit and match sharpness playing games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Come to think of it, have TJF openly come out and condemned the war in Ukraine? Putin apologists IMO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thistle Archive Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Had fate taken Partick Thistle down a different path in 1892 we may well have ended up with a Roman goddess on our badge rather than the flower of Scotland which has endured for more than one hundred years. As our new Partickle explains, the committee had an intriguing proposal to consider… Minerva – What's In A Name? → 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I see Stevie Lawless got the Player of the Month award. I can't really argue. He's had a great return to Firhill imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thistle Archive Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Last month we were so intrigued by the images sent to us by Andrew Johnston's great grandson, Douglas Fyfe, that, today, we've started a virtual museum to show them off! To be fair, many such opportunities have passed us by previously, but now at least there is somewhere for such things to be housed. Site map wise, we can't seem to find a place for the museum, so we've set up the permanent access point on the foot of the home page, as you will see as you scroll down. The museum will be a place for Partick Thistle items of exceptional historical interest... or those which are just plain curious! A virtual collection of art, memorabilia, artifacts & curiosities. Any submissions for display consideration are welcome, so get in touch →. We hope you enjoy your visits to our virtual museum; who knows what will end up in there?!?
