More questions than answers! Is football about to be rid of yellow cards? If not, what sort of offence would merit a sin bin but not a yellow card? Some of the yellow cards that are issued are verging on the trivial as it is. Would a sin bin replace a yellow card for persistent fouling but not one specific foul? Can a player be sin-binned more than once in a match? Would a second sin bin mean a red and off? How would you sin bin a keeper? Sub keeper comes on for 10 minutes and then the sin binned keeper comes back on? Wouldn't be a player reduction punishment however so would a midfield player have to go into goals for the sin bin duration so that the team is reduced to 10? I see the proposed colour of a sin bin card is orange. That will go down well in some quarters (not).

How very predictable! Yet another club that doesn't bother to say if away fans need to buy a ticket in advance or if they will be able to pay on the night.

Two observations. With McMillan injured, Lawless has been far less effective. We've had 3 blank sheets out of the 4 games he's missed. Their combination play down the wing has reaped benefits with entertaining and effective cut-backs and goals from close in. That option has largely disappeared. It's a pity because it's not long since posts on here were suggesting Lawless was playing the best football in his time at Firhill. Speedy recovery by McMillian is needed to make the best of him. Agree with earlier posts there was little pressure down the wings. Fitzpatrick on his game shows how dangerous he can be - even if spasmodically at times. (Again speedy recovery please.) That said however there have been several occasions where hasn't tracked back and left opposition players in lots of space and the right-hand side of the back four exposed. Count the goals we've lost at the back post this season.

Geez Oh. Are there no depths our club will dive to to become a laughing stock? Are we seriously saying the Chairman's sacking was over flying a flag? Who is saying that? Where is the proof? How many Thistle fans have ever noticed the flag polls? How many are there? What flags are flying on them? Do they care? We play in a city where clubs have been closely associated with flags for decades - often with dubious connotations. We're supposed to be above all that. Does it really matter?

For the benefit of those who didn't see it, she pronounced it Keltic.

Queen's Park 6-0 Partick Thistle. Open question to the Board. Why did I have to go to the Queen's Park website to find a report and the score? The OS advertised the match and said details would be posted at half-time and full-time. Where are they? If they are lurking in Facebook of Twitter or whatever, why? Please give us reports with teamlines etc in the OS for us all to see, free and readily accessible.

Third Lanark Oh hold on a minute. Gretna Oh hold on a minute. Clydebank As a senior team Oh hold on a minute. Don’t think I’ll bother!

FT. Won 5-0 (BBC). Who were the U18s playing on Friday FT. Competition or a friendly?

In order to validate a future addition to The Thistle Archive, I'm searching for information about a couple of missing reserve fixtures for season 1980-81. These are Queen's Park (A) and Rangers (H). Dates played not known. If anyone has programmes for the following matches I'd be grateful if they could PM me so that I can pick up anything by way of reports these programmes might contain. Programmes were not sequentially numbered so it's not possible to tell if they were all issued. Many thanks. Rangers 6/8/1980 Queen's Park 27/8/1980 St Mirren 3/9/1980 St Mirren 13/9/1980 Rangers 12/1/1981 Celtic 29/4/1981

Funny you should say that M'lady. My old granny used to wrap some in tissue paper and put them in her clootie dumplings - then forget to tell us she'd done so.

Not if they were the silver thruppenny bits.
