That's the one I was referring to in my earlier post from league game in August 2001. Archie marked him out the game and at one point he threw himself to the floor to try to get a foul, Archie leaned over him and I'm sure just politely told him to get up and he threw a punch and got sent off.

Just checked with the archive and this was our last win at Stark's Park in 2011 http://www.thethistlearchive.net/match-2011-03-12 I also checked and I am recalling correctly that we won twice there in 4 days in August 2001 (one after extra time). Also our first introduction to Nacho Novo with his petulant red card.

after only 79 days 😂 Breaking news on live feed for tonight's games https://www.bbc.com/sport/live/football/68198616

At least we did have the option to recall him but with Diack's recent form I think we are okay without him.

Crazy statistic! If games ended after 75 mins we would be top and Raith 8th

I'm sure someone from TJF can answer much better than me. As far as I understand the £500k will be sitting in bank account intentionally not being spent so that there is never any future cashflow issues similar to earlier in year that would threaten clubs survival. Some of it will only be used in short term if there is a bill to be paid and money will then be replaced by prize/sponsor money etc shortly afterwards. The only other scenario I would suspect would be if a major repair was needed to stadium. Spending the money on team hoping to get promotion would not be the plan as that sort of short term thinking is what got us in to trouble last season.

I also thought that first game Williams played at right back Lawless really helped him by always being available for a pass so he didn't get caught in possession and as a result his confidence has increased over last few games and he looks a much better player now having had to switch to left back.

Good old BBC report says we apparently played 'with 10 men for the final 15 minutes'. Report even mentions that Graham was sent off after being substituted. Can't remember the last time match report didn't contain some sort of obvious mistake. Very poor. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67318696

Rather confused by the typical BBC report as apparently Sibbald 'scored the game's only goal' according to picture caption above report. Does no one ever proof read anything! 🤦‍♂️ https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67073709

Not exactly Thistle but that has worked for Scotland in last couple of years several times when we've taken off Che Adams and brought on Lyndon Dykes

No mention of any inspection at the moment https://spfl.co.uk/news/saturday-update-49484

That's what Robertson and Tierney do on left side for Scotland and it seems to work well.

Now 5-2 with Dowds getting the 5th As I said on one of the other threads I hope we have the option to recall him in January

Would be interesting to know if we can recall Dowds in January. If he finds some form with Ayr and we have some injuries would be useful to have as an option.

As well as changing starting 11 last year several of the players who dropped out got the night off so there were limited options on bench. As long as we have full strength bench then I think it would be sensible to give at least Adeloye and Robinson chance to start game with Williams also having to come in for Neilson.
