Bobby Shmurda is home after serving his 7 year sentence, took an extra 2 years imprisonment so his friend Rowdy Rebel would get a lighter sentence. Solid.
Welcome home King 👑
Regardless of your political stance, it is beyond shameful to desecrate the stadium of a team majorly hampered by the pandemic for simply allowing a side to use their training facilities (💰💰💰). Mortifying.
26th November 2018, Durk introduced King Von to the world, bringing him onto his breakfast club interview.
Paid for the best lawyers to help him beat 3 murder charges, helped him become a famous rapper, moved him outta Chicago to pursue his career. Pray for Durk. Rest up Von 🌹

Now we’ve got a new Maddie McCann suspect
4 months into 2020, and:
-WW3 almost happened
-Australian Forest Fires
-Kobe Bryant passed away
-A global pandemic
-Global lockdown
-Forest fires near Chernobyl spiked up radiation by 16 times
-Kim Jong Un has reportedly died
And now...American government confirm UFO’s exist
Hibernian, Livingston, St Mirren & St Johnstone.
I think I speak on behalf of the rest of Scottish football when I say we are all simply jealous as fuck.
Kris Doolan has led Partick Thistle to a 6-game unbeaten run in the Scottish Championship. At 36 years old, he’s the youngest manager in the division
Thistle pay a £22,000 fine each time Doolan manages because he doesn’t have his UEFA Pro license 😅
What an incredible story 👏
School days really were the best days, 9-4, chilling with yer pals everyday, all the holidays and in-service days, the fights, the patter, the house parties every weekend. Do anything to go back to those times 😞

Partick Thistle were relegated with a game in hand last year, they’ve received part-time funds from the government/SFA, they’ve continually tested players throughout the season and now face a break in football due to the league they play in. Shafted.
This could be detrimental.
Genuinely 0 contact, goes to VAR and the penalty is still given🤣 what do you expect when the team get to play every game bar 1 at their national stadium.
Personally, I think that Partick Thistle going from Top 6 in the premiership being unfairly demoted to League 1, making a late surge to win that division and now possibly winning the championship is a far better story than the Arbroath “fairytale” 🤷🏽♂️
On this day 4 years ago, Partick Thistle beat Motherwell 1-0 to clinch a top 6 spot in the Scottish Premiership.
Today we sit 5th place in League One.
Shits sad.
Every League 1 & 2 club is willing to do routine covid tests (the same as the top 2 divisions) and are still told they’re not permitted to resume playing?
What chance have you got? Why are these clubs being continually punished?
“So they’re fucking relegating us, despite having a game in hand that would take us out the relegation zone, got a stonewall penalty overruled against our relegation rivals and we’re the only side that’s played the champions 4 fucking times. It’s an injustice.”
Another Celtic player has tested positive for covid-19. As punishment, Partick Thistle are set to be expelled from the Scottish professional football leagues.
Rest in peace to British boxing great Willie Limond.
A genuine Partick Thistle man who had aspirations to defend his titles at Firhill.
45 is no age 🕊️🥊
Take a moment to reflect on the landscape a Scottish football and look at the followings that the majority of teams carry.
For a club that are up & down as much as Thistle are, this away support never dwindles.
Phenomenal.
Premiership quality player that showed immense loyalty to Thistle when we dropped down to League 1 and it won’t be forgotten.
Guy deserves every bit of success that comes his way.
A real testament of your character to have left Thistle 7 years ago but to still be held in such high regard by the supporters.
A fantastic footballer & a proper gentleman. Enjoy retirement

Could sit here eulogising about each and every player today but nobody deserved that more than Stuart Bannigan.
Left absolutely everything out there and topped it off with goal of the round.
Best Banzo performance in years.
Well if this is the end of the road for Zak Rudden at Partick Thistle then what an absolute pleasure it’s been to see his partnership with Brian Graham flourish over the past year.
One of the best strike-forces we’ve had at Thistle in many a year.
Malky Mackay looks set to become the new Dundee United manager, here’s a reminder of why he’s effectively been out of management for 5 years. Shameful from Dundee United.
Superb effort from Glasgow Rangers there needing their usual flukey 85th minute penalty to help them scrape by a Partick Thistle side containing two 15 year olds 👏🏻👏🏻
We Jags fans often turn our noses up at OF loanees, and rightly so the track record would show why. But every once in a while you’ll unearth an absolute gem.
Cole McKinnon making lung-busting runs whilst 4-0 up, the same way he does in minute 1. What a mentality, what a player.
Whilst Harry Milne is getting all the plaudits, and deservedly so, you cannot go without mentioning how important Jack McMillan has been on the other side.
The only player to have featured in every fixture so far this season, chipping in with 2 goals & 7 assists in the process.
This guy deserves every bit of success he is achieveing right now, battled back from a long term injury and shipped out on loan to a different country. You often see loanee’s not giving a toss, not once did Osman Kakay put in less than 100%.
Well deserved 4 year deal at QPR 👏🏻
Easily my favourite Thistle side in a long, long time. A group of hardworking guys that are proud to play for the Jags. No primmadonnas, guys like Hendrie & McKenna come into the side when called upon and never let us down
Feel like we are on the verge of something special here.
Watching Gary Fraser on Open goal there talking about how his time with the Jags was the best of his career, being a Thistle fan to this day and going to Firhill every opportunity he gets. Seriously what a boy and what a player he was for the Magyars.
Darren Brownlie has 15 cleansheets in 27 games for Partick Thistle this season.
Been crying out for a centre half of this mould for years. What a monster.
2011: signed as a striker, deemed not good enough, used as a squad player
2012: loaned to Albion Rovers
2013: Scores to all but secure promotion for Thistle
2016: 1st choice RB
17-18: arguably POTY
August 2018: Captains the club
