He certainly did, and John Mitchell got the other. I'll never forget the 3rd, a spectacular flying header, though we were in the St Mirren end! We went with a St Mirren fan pal, didn't really know where we were going, paid to get in thinking we were able to get to the away end, or at least a neutral place, and we ended up there..... Stupid tw*t. We had the last laugh but had to cover our scarves. An interesting experience but it was a joy to see the away end dance. We were 2nd bottom of a division below St Mirren too, and they'd won it only 2 seasons earlier, but Lambie had recently arrived so better days were coming. The next round saw a less pleasant 2-0 defeat at Tynecastle. We were there but the team might as well not have bothered. Thought we were on for a replay at one point but then John Colquhoun did us in. Oh well. An unrealised ambition is to see us win after being 2 goals down. We did that at Fir Park once, but I wasn't there. Saw a 3-3 v Clyde at Firhill once though, after being 3 down. I was at Metz though.

There's plenty of time, surely? I can't imagine that they'd let the 11-1 stand. The old firm media would not want to be talking about it just now I guess, hoping it will magically be forgotten about, but surely.....

I often buy the Sunday Herald but never really saw it as biased, that's why I buy it instead of rags like the SM (S&M more like) but reading that piece yesterday has me questioning ... I thought it was outrageous. I might even complain officially. Maybe we all should. It's not something that I've done before till I decided to after an idiotic and childish comment by Gary Lineker on the beeb last week, about how we'd all be glad how Team GB had 2 medals but Germany hadn't won any yet. Sums that silly little man up really, but it did make me think that if we never complain then we only have ourselves to blame. Of course the complaint was batted back, saying it was just a humorous comment, but the Sunday Herald can't claim anything like that so...let's get to it.

In this day and age I think the only sensible response is to condemn any death threat but make no further comment.

Now don't throw anything at me please, but they never did fulfill their promise of Thistle tartan scarves. I did my best but I got p*ssed off with it and gave up. I still love the idea though, but learned that diy is often the only way to go. Disappointing though maybe we can still do our own?

Alright, he's maybe not a celeb but former news reader Alistair Burnett, who just passed away, was a Jags fan alright. I remember him winning an 800 Club prize once, but especially him reading out midweek fitba scores. Most memorably "THE Thistle!" when announcing a 1-0 win at Somerset and refusing to call Meadowbank the same. Royal sycophant perhaps, rightly lampooned by Spitting Image, but he was still one of us and that's rare in the media, especially UK wide. A kind and generous guy, by all accounts, who loved a dram, I'll always remember him fondly. He may even have passed on some of his Jags leanings to Trevor McDonald as he sounded like a fan when he announced our big score against Albion Rovers. I lived in Dundee then and the internet didn't exist yet so Sir Al and Trevor were vital sources back then. RIP Mr B.

If any of the other teams had thought that 2nd place could lead to the SPL then the end of last season could have been a different matter. Typical. It had to be Dundee...grrr Mind you, the SPL might not be such a promised land just now. Maybe they're welcome to it and I won't miss them a bit.

Apologies if somebody pointed this out already, but if the newco do get voted into Div 3, assuming that they keep going, isn't it obvious that league reconstruction will be right back on the agenda anyway? That could knock a year off their theoretical return to the top division. No brainer surely, and all the more reason not to swallow their stinking bait tomorrow. Am I missing something or why would any lower league club fall for it?

They said they're against newco for Division 1. So have we, finally. They said they're up for reconstruction, while we suggested that the SFA should step in, and presumably move to reconstruct so I don't see such a big difference between our stances. Some of us are still having a go at DB though. I think he said what mattered, no to newco. Beyond that the rest is....who the f knows? Rumours of the SPL postponing a vote though? Are they waiting for the SPL vote? What could then happen is we postpone again, waiting for them and it.....we spin into limbo. In which the SFA would have to step in.... Gawd. I despise Rangers, because that's what they will continue to be. They've poisoned us all, but I may be walking away before it gets to it. Whatever DB ir anyone else says. The domestic game is tainted beyond repair, I fear.

Our Dumfries bro spoke well. Partick Thistle represent much for me, and I'd find it hard to go on if we support this blatant corruption and blackmail. I'm already in the doubters camp, and fear my heart has already left the building, but still hold out hope that we, along with the other clubs, do the right thing. If not, they can save goodbye to my gate money, and other monies, including my monthly direct debit, and the merch too. We'd be a busted flush and I'd find many better and more worthy things to concern myself with. Would that mean I'm not a fan any more? So be it.

I've seen us lose to Clyde more than once, but not like this. I echo what others have said already, the Clyde statement is as spot on as anybody could expect. Well done the Bully Wee. Has anybody posted this on any Clyde forum, or Pie & Bovril perhaps?

For what it's worth, Airdrie say they will abstain from any vote. At least it is a stance, of sorts, even though saying it's a conflict of interest is so much keech. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/rangers/9370478/Rangers-in-crisis-Kyle-Lafferty-reveals-he-made-up-with-Ally-McCoist-before-leaving.html

It's clear that our club is a shambles in more ways than one. Aside from the newco stance, which I disagree with completely but could at least be argued, shoddy treatment of a loyal fan like that, not even bothering to spend £1.80 when he's spent hundreds.... No excuse for that at all. I'm fast losing interest and love here.

when things get this desperate they're already laughable... http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/2012/07/02/rangers-in-crisis-sfl-insider-reveals-20-clubs-could-go-the-wall-if-they-don-t-accept-newco-into-their-ranks-86908-23903342/

I assume we're not getting anything for him. Out of contract?
