They are:

Non-sectarian friendly sorts

Loveably obscure, sort of the footballing equivalent to a satchel full of limited edition orange vinyl by your friend's band who once opened for Campag Velocet, possibly.

Their nickname is THE JAGS!!!

It's all too perfect. Fuck you AFC Bournemouth, PTFC 4 LYF.

YES!

YES!


NO

It should be Altrincham FC.


The Robins?

I think not.


I think so,

at least our team could never be relagated.


This is not

a good thing.


seconded!


i wouldn't mind this

my mum's second team after Celtic.

aye, go on then


In further response

Yes. We are great. Some facts about us:

1) We are great.
2) We don't play in Partick.
3) We were Alan Hansen's first club.
3) The bassist (I think) from Camera Obscura supports us.

Reason enough, I think we can all agree, that we are super great.


Peterborough UTD surely?

C'mon, y'all love the Posh!


Dukla Prague

Surely?


^

Yes!!


definately

although i dont think they are called this anymore. yes i looked it up.


yeah

And it's not in England so the site is less England/london centric yay


But

How can we support the team effectively?

I do like the suggestion, but I think a team in a more central location in the country might make more sense...


Like Altrincham


LIKE ALTRINCHAM.


we can have real-time threads

and watch their matches?


Nah.


Quids in

Quid chip ins (for a mull)?


,,,

(of Kintyre!)


^ yay!


Hendon?


I think we're

DiS's Unofficial London club.


:D

i live in partick!


Also known as

Partick Thistle Nil


an overwhelming sense of failure

speaks to every DiSer. that confirms it then?


.

If I had a pound for every fucking time I've heard that joke...

Billy Connolly has a lot to answer for.


It had to be said :D

I support Killie so I can't really speak!


How about AFC Telford?

1) It's in the middle of the country.
2) It's the only football team in a town the same size as other places with premiership teams, so it's got the potential to get bigger.
3) My cousin plays for them.

Or we could just go for Wolves. Perenially promising, but never achieving...


this is such a good idea!

i have lots of season ticket holder friends. i'm going out with one of them right now. bye xx


"going out with one of them"

tis a bit ambiguous!


james has a season ticket?

since when?


hmmm

it's a total cliche for non-football types to opt for partick as their token team mainly because they're a glasgow side that aren't as despicable as the old firm.

i'd find it pretty patronising if i supported them.

always had a bit of a soft spot for raith rovers though, so i suppose i'm just as bad.


Dorchester Town!

Please??????? We need more fans!!


yay

come on the dorch!


Yeovil townnnnn


If you don't support

the Harry Rags Chic Charnley will slice you up with a samurai sword. Parents use his legend like the bogey man to scare kids out of doing stupid things.


Salisbury or Burton Albion

would be my choices for a DiS team to support.


This is true.

I will.


Richmond Arithmetic versus Nottingham Marjorie -

match postponed due to bent pitch


Yeah!

I live in Partick, i'm getting me a season ticket!

:D


Isn't supporting partick

a bit like not choosing?


NO!!!

It's not like that at all. We aren't defined by not being the Old Firm. We are Partick Thistle.

Sure, we are an alternative to all the shite that goes along with Rangers and Celtic, but we are very much our own club with a long, proud history. In fact we were founded before a good decade before Celtic.

Also, please don't call us Partick. We hate it. We are Thistle.


a good decade before*

We might own the moral highground, but we aren't very good at constructing sentences.


Alcofrolic just asked me if you misspelt

poor Patrick's name and why should he be our mascot.


Oh and I forgot

all 3 of us Clyde fans will have to leave DiS in disgust. So no.

oozing with mediocrity
amazing youth set up
quirkiness of dario dradi
