Ever optimistic PTFC fan and Tartan Army member. Currently not so optimistic about politics!
It’ll be news to Alex Samuel that he’s from New Zealand.

Where’s the Don’t Like button!
St. Mirren have activated the recall clause in Oisin Smyth’s loan agreement meaning the Northern Irishman has returned to Paisley with immediate effect.

Everyone at the club thanks Oisin for his contributions as a Thistle player and wishes him the best of luck for the future.

Thoughts and prayers with the Match of the Day producer tonight. Can’t put all the games on last.

Cheapest ticket available to fans of the teams that make the World Cup final is $4185!! I’ve held FIFA in disdain for years but this is beyond disgraceful even for them. What are they doing to our game.

Every time you think this can’t get worse they prove you wrong. This is genuinely the worst thing I’ve ever seen.

And the award for the world’s biggest sycophant goes to Gianni Infantino.

Assume anyone sent off for violent conduct in the playoffs will be given a similar “punishment”. What a joke FIFA is.
Cristiano Ronaldo has avoided a suspension for the start of next summer’s World Cup after FIFA handed the Portugal captain a three-match ban, with the final two games suspended for “a one-year probation period”.

Ronaldo, 40, was sent off in Portugal's penultimate World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland.

I hope a Scotland shirt and kilt is acceptable air wear for Sec Duffy next June!
Duffy: "Trump talks about the golden age of transportation. But the golden age in transportation truly begins with you ... People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly ... so we want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

Who would’ve guessed FIFA would win the award for the most pathetic pandering to Trump. Every day Infantino embarrasses football.

Has there ever been a government that is so bad at politics?

I long for the day someone gets up in the middle of one of his speeches and says “stop speaking shite you absolute zoomer”.
Trump to the UN: "I have to say, I look at London where you have a terrible mayor -- terrible terrible mayor -- and it's been so changed, so changed. Now they want to go to Sharia Law ... both their immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe."

“Mindless thuggery” from a protest by 1000 leads to the arrest of 6. Meanwhile over 100 arrested over the weekend for peacefully protesting a genocide. Tell me again about 2 tier policing. To be fair to the police this is on Starmer and the government. How have they got it so wrong.

Never thought FIFA could get worse than under Blatter. Infantino proves me wrong every day

25/26 season, here we go again

Game 1
Edinburgh City 1 @partickthistle.bsky.social 4

Decent enough start to the season for Thistle. Thought Stanway looked like he wants to really step up and take the top midfielder role. Probably the worst ground I’ll visit this season.

What to do today? Ah yes, 7 new Springsteen albums out.

Most matches in a season yet. Need to see if I can better that when 25/26 gets going in a few weeks time.

Didn’t care who won the Champions League final but Hakimi not celebrating a goal after playing one season for Inter can get in the bin. Come on Inter.

Assume Thistle will be demanding a transfer fee for Graham if he’s off somewhere else as a player coach. He may be 37 but you don’t just give someone away who’s scored over 20 goals in each of the last 3 seasons.
