The Thistle Archive Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Our (hopeless but game!) quest to meet every obscure player in Thistle history continues, and we've had a bit of success via the Evening Times in the Mitchell library, as well as picking up the Bobby Morrison story via a relative on Facebook... Bobby Morrison → Scoring debutant alongside Willie Sharp in '39 and a brace in a 4-2 win over Celtic in his first two games. Ashes scattered at Firhill. James Colgan → On the back of goals from Sharp & Shankly, James put Thistle 3 up at Ibrox against the champions in April 1945. It was fantasy football for the 19-year-old. Joe Murphy → One-off wartime appearance, but a 2-1 Southern League win at Love Street. Robert McFarlane → Goalie who was a Junior Cup winner with Perthshire in '44. Has a 100% penalty prevention ratio with the Jags. Thistle's player connections with Dundee United → Pleasingly, all of this gives us a 100% image fill of all Dundee United connections. A small victory! Could you help with our missing player images? → 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baba douche Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 We were one of the last Scottish clubs to release a statement about the queen's death. However, I have it on authority that 3BC and the Trust actually got together and sent one earlier in secret, just didn't tell us about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do football clubs have to put out a statement ? As opposed to any organisation, or any individual for that matter.

With all due respect, your posts in the past few days which have attempted to portray the TJF as in some way incompetent, inactive, or to blame for Jacqui Low's mendacious power grab - followed now by the implication that they have disrespected the Queen - are deeply, deeply weird. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t me that brought up anything about disrespecting the Queen. If Baba Douche hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have drawn any comparison to another organisation that wants to own the football club. I have said many many times, it is a minority of the support that want fan ownership - at least at the moment. There is a lot of work for TJF to do to win over a large section of the fans, so they need to be on the ball with everything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) Wait am i being dumb, wasnt the initial post just poking fun at the fact that anything and everything the club + trust do can have "shady backroom deals, smoke and mirrors" jokes attributed to it?

Ive said for a few weeks that Brownlie would be best out on loan if we could get another centre half in. He needs games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what they say about pointing a finger at someone - 4 are pointing straight back at yourself. And yet TFJ haven't pointed a finger at anyone, so no fingers pointing back at them. Unless you think I am a part of TJF? I'm a pay at the gate punter, for over 30 years. I've had a season ticket for 1 season (last year). I could POSSIBLY pick 1 member of either 'board' out of a line-up, although I know people that know them all. I'm not especially interested in WHO runs the club, as long as they're open and honest about their intentions, and seen to have the best interests of the club at heart - something I think BOTH sides have fundamentally, but only one side has shown publicly. I do find your reasoning and general statements on this matter a bit strange if I'm honest - there seems to be only one person here with an ulterior motive... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're asking whether it crossed the minds of the TJF Board to make a statement about something that has absolutely nothing to do with the Foundation, Partick Thistle or Scottish football? Not for even a fraction of a second. You are literally the first and only person I've encountered who even seems to think we should have considered it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle Bonnet Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I don't often go to away games but bought a ticket for the game at Ayr today. I was less than pleased that as a football fan, I was in a group exclusively chosen for compulsory mourning. It's probably unlikely that it will suit me to go to this game when it is re-arranged. The decision for the absurd cancellation of all games in Scotland today was made by the Scottish Football Authorities. It will surprise nobody that Doncaster and his cohorts adopted a craven approach of appeasement and disregard for supporters' interests - they have history of this with broadcasters and the Old Firm. Perhaps our PR Guru Chair and the Jags Trust guys have been lobbying the Authorities but they have been strangely silent. However I am a bit disappointed that TJF has not expressed a view. I am not a TJF member but am persuadable. However the main purpose of fan-based ownership is surely to speak up for the supporters...or do they agree that cancellation of games was appropriate? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
