Steven please give us a break from the standard worlds against us excuse that has been trotted out for 10 years now.
The mess we are in is our own fault and no one elses.
most of it is our own fault, but SPL shafted us twice & nobody can argue about it!!

RE-OPEN THE MAIN STAND AND SHUT THE CANAL END SHOE-BOX!!!! There's more to Firhill than the Jackie H.
you had a good post a few days ago, but totally ruined it with this stupid remark!!! Yeah let's throw money we haven't got at a dump of an ancient wooden stand with poor viewing & even worse facilities. It was a dump in the 70's, so it's time for you & the other "excellent main stand" lovers to get over it
excellent my arse as Jim Royle would say!!!

Not on that team sheet, but my last outing to Brockville had us start with triallist, big Leon Constantine. I'd have him back in a breath, but not gonnae happen now.
Btw, Lambie said then: "he's no better than we've already got". Could McCall honestly say that if LC was on trial with us now? I doubt it.
he wasn't a trialist, he was on loan from Millwall IIRC & I don't think Lambie said what you quoted

The sooner my hometown has a professional team to support, the better.
If you feel that way why not go & see EK Thistle every week? I am from EK & will return there soon, but no way would I be interested in supporting EK "Professionals"
Once a Jag always a Jag!!

I always liked Alex O'Hara and Colin Jackson!
I never realised what a good defender Jackson was until he played for us. Roddie McDonald was another good centre half as well
-
Is it impossible to consider the possibility of merger with Queen's Park FC?
Thistle can move in the Hampden Park, and sell Firhill to Glasgow Warriors.
Is it out-of-question?
crazy idea. what would QP get out of it? why would we want to play in a 50,000 plus stadium with crowds of less than 3,000?

I'm pretty sure Bates never owned us as league rules didn't allow anyone to own (or have a majority shareholding in)2 clubs, even in different countries.
the feeder club idea may have worked especially the way it started with West & Dodds, but the problem was dumping Johnstone on us. I'm also fairly sure that Johnstone was to be player/coach or similar under Bertie Auld (who had returned near the end of the previous season & managed to keep us up) but Bertie fell out with Bates & left before the season started. Johnstone was way out his depth which was a pity as the player/coach thing might have worked out.
When Bates left I think thats when Bobby Watson's consortium got involved & that was the start of our resurgence.
Thats my memory of the time, if some of it's wrong then tough cos I'm getting old & senile!!!

Gentleman in the background appears to have swallowed his teeth in all the excitement.

yes,good result, especially after kirkaldy.does the ruwi hotel still do "ruwi-revivers",the inter-con used to be pretty busy on friday mornings,was quite raucos at times,so many good memories,so many7 sore heads.
i don't know where the ruwi hotel is, i never go to ruwi very often. Like I said things have changed big time & I live close to the airport. almost everywhere between ruwi & the airport is built up now, probably areas you havent even heard of. beyond the airport there are huge housing areas as well.

cant believe in all the years that i spent in the oman that i didnt find another "jag"now we have so many!!.yes you are right,i would probably find many changes,i presume that you have a wider selection of "watering holes",i was lucky working with the ministry that i had a good "social life",which didnt cost the earth.the one thing i dont miss is RAMAHDAN,the EIDS wre okay though.well guys hope this finds you in good spirits.
definitely in good spirits after todays result, even though Ramadan just started a few days ago!!!

Thanks from the Windy City, Camallain.
thanks from the Middle East

at mpa,civvy, working in the power station for babcocks.havent been any further in the water than ankle depth.
are you in muscat,or down southin salalah.spent over 10 years in and around muaskar al mutaffah,seeb,then,when i returned for a 2nd spell,i was down south.its funny in all the years i was there,i never came across another thistle fan,plenty of the old firm lot.left the oman 1994,thought about going back for a look but so far resisted the temptation,somethings are best left as good memories.todays result not a great start,goalie is dodgy,always has been,no amount of coaching by hinchcliffe will make him good!
I'm in Muscat working at the airport, Muscat Jag is also in Muscat as well (funnily enough!!) Topcat is in Sur just now, but came up to Muscat last week.
If you left in 94 you would see massive changes, even people who have been here for only 4 or 5 years say that.
-
spent a long time working in the oman with the ministry of defence,now in the falklands,do you have a space for an honary member?
of course!!! I will soon need to be an honorary member as it's home to EK for me at the end of the month. Also, Topcat is only here for a short spell, but he was here for a long time. So from next month it will only be Muscat Jag!!!

thanks :-)

excellent draw!!! Whether this cup is worthwhile or not is irrelevant, I would still like to see us eventually win it!!

Forfar Athletic v Ross County
Partick Thistle v Ayr United
Queen of the South v East Fife
Peterhead v Stenhousemuir
Another home game. To be held on Sunday 5th September. I'm guessing either a 2 or 3pm kick-off: probably the latter.
excellent draw!!! Whether this cup is worthwhile or not is irrelevant, I would still like to see us eventually win it!!

maybe we can win this cup at last, or at least get to the final & get a nice day out!!! Us, Ross Cty & Dunf or QOS are only 1st division teams left in it!!

With Firhill getting turned into a shithole by our board, would it not make sense for us to build a 6-8000k stadium in conjuction with Maryhill Juniors ? Or maybe sell firhill, buy lochburn and renovate to 6-8000k stadium ? Like i said crazy suggestion but why the hell not have both teams play in the same new stadium with Maryhill possibly being our feeder team.
might be a good suggestion, but 3 questions
1. who would buy Firhill?
2. what is it's worth?
3. is lochburn feasable for car parking, access etc?
-
where is the mistake or is it now sorted ?
how about the first word?

Dave McKinnon, 30 grand IIRC

Evening Times article a few days ago mentioned interest from Bristol Rovers & another Ennglish club

Didn't the Sex Pistols do them a perfectly acceptable modern version a few years back?

Jemes McFadden did the same against Norway & Stephen McManus against Iceland. I think in both cases the resultant penalties were scored & both were sent off, so Suarez carried out a normal reaction & in most cases it would have went against him. just about every player cheats in one way or another, so no point in condoning Suarez any more than others
Lowly Partick Thistle
