Yep, 1st Bearsden for me too. Thorn Park (2nd pitch) was our home ground. Norrie Darroch was our trainer/manager late 1960s. We won the league in 1968, I think. Great memories.

Hitler Youth? Surely you mean the Young Glasgow Rangers Supporters' Association? And the bloke in white you were probably talking to was the ghost of Hermann Goring ...

I can just hear the songs from them, safely guarded in the old centre stand, like ... "there's no a team like the ... and "for it's a grand old team play for, and it's a grand old team to see ... "

"You should". One of the most invasive phrases of all, innocuous as it sounds. Well, three pints as in an aperatif, upstairs, and a glass of white has just arrived on the table, downstairs, at Charlie Parker's on Exchange Square ...

That's total bullshit. You're makin' it up as you go along. And the band played believe it if you like. He got one kick of the ball, it was a header and he missed it. He wasn't on the bus when he fell aff.

Do you really believe that's the kinda thing you'd read in a fitba forum?

Yer wastin' yer time wae that lot, pal. They think it's the Glasgow Academy Philosophical Debating Society in disguise. As you know, some people are (rightly) allowed to express themselves in whatever way they choose. Others get shafted. It's unpredictably selective. Almost like bullying, innit? Weird. Advertisers come first. It's not actually a fitba forum, as such. They're smart-arsed control freaks. They've no other power or influence in life and have to exert it on here. No doubt, I'll get a bollocking, or worse, for this. Just imagine if you had to meet them in reality, eh?

Hell mend him. He took the shilling ... so he can humiliate himself in cup games and then go back to being substitute keeper in league games every week. And then when his contract is up, he can look back at the comical reality of it all -- safe in the knowledge he could afford a better lawnmower and the wife could finally get the washing machine she always wanted.

Peculiar how people will humiliate themselves ... just for the sake of a few extra bob -- then go back to playing second fiddle. Fatally flawed. As yet another goal went in, he was probably thinking: "**** it, who cares how big the crowd is. I can afford to buy things I couldn't when I was playing for Thistle."

AC/TH/EP ... somehow, looking at it, the notion that it's nearly an anagram of the word "pathetic" springs to mind. Dunno why.

It's a classic case of "some things change so much, they end up staying the same". Resigning from the board was an attempt to distract attention towards him, and others like Cowan and Hughes, by disgruntled fans. He's still lurking in the shadows with his shares stuffed in his back pocket. Can somebody tell me if he is involved in this PropCo racket? And who else with club connections is on that PropCo board? How much do they stand to profit from redeveloping part of Firhill?

PropCo Phase One planning application CANNOT get the the green light. I've already lodged an objection by email to the planning application with the district council. More could do the same. The hyenas are lurking on the canal bank. The vultures are circling the old main stand. The plan for the old home-end and old main stand needs to be completely reconsidered with proper planning consultants brought in to draw up imaginative proposals to transform that half of the ground for the ENTIRE benefit of the club. Not speculators flashing filthy lucre.

Sure, it's a grand old team to play for ...

2-1 Thistle on Saturday -- based on law of averages more than anything else.

Like Ian McCall ...
