    BBC One Scotland and BBC Scotland are two different channels, mind. The One Show's not broadcast on the latter.

    thanks DP!  hopefully my son will get to see his first Thistle victory to night, he's been to and watched on TV about 15 games so far and so far and best we can do is a couple of draws!

    My son is only 11 so I'm having to explain why the guy he's grown up watching score goals for Thistle is now no longer able to play for us.

    He's grown used to Lawless, Erskine and Doolan so he doesn't know that they are exceptional talents.

    I suspect by the time he is my age he will appreciate how fortunate he was to see them play in their prime but he's struggling to say anything positive at this point.

    So I'll say it for him. Thanks Kris, its been a pleasure watching you and if you happen to end up at livingston with Erskine and Lawless I think we'll be taking in a few of their games.

     

    In exactly the same boat myself laukat, not good at all!

    Well, exactly as you say re the centrebacks. Scobbie, tho' I believe he's organisationly sound, is about the last player you'd look to re breaking out of defence.  And of course it's usually the middle of the three that's charged with that role. But yesterday there were countless opportunities for Keown & McGinty (especially the former) to carry on up the park with the ball. Instead  they played the ball from around the halfway line (no further) and (as expected) their tame passes were inevitably cut out. by a Queens player.

    I differ slightly in so much that I think that Elliott and Penrice are well equipped to play wingback effectively at this level. As said previously it's unfortunate that Christie with his poorer delivery is the one who plays the wingback role the better. Penrice, who has quality re a final ball doesn't push forward nearly often enough, tho' I'm sure he's well able to do so.

    Agree with what you say, but the amount of times Penrice was available on the left touchline with no one near him was unbelievable, the speed of passing out from the back was so slow that when he was spotted it was inevitably too late and the chance had gone.

  4. Going to this as my 1st game of the season from the Manchester area, will keep an eye out on the train for Gary on the way up, but he better have a disguise for the way back down if we lose!  Expecting the unexpected with a Thistle esque performance, 3-0, with Doolan scoring 2 for my son who has him playing for Scotland and Barcelona on FIFA.  Anyone suggest the best place for a pint/something to eat that is ok with kids?

  5. That was my first game too! My Uncle used to take me home and away to most games, he is still going and I now take my son (9) whenever we visit from down south. His first game was the diddy cup final so he already knows what it means/takes to be a Jags fan.

  6. Took my 6 year old son to the match, his first at Firhill, was great when Doolan (his favourite) scored, was really impressed myself with the first 20 mins. Wondered, only for a moment, if we were Barca in their away tops! What happened after that was a complete capitulation, standing yards off Hearts and couldn't string two passes together. Just have to hope being a Thistle fan is somehow passed down through the gene pool :mad:

  7. Have stayed at Mottram Hall a couple of times, very nice and a great training pitch and nice golf course. Quite a lot of the Man City/Utd players seem to go there, the restaurant is called the Carrington and they have lots of pictures of Man Utd memorabilia on the walls, it's where Carols Tevez got banned for speeding when he came out of there :D. Would expect the team to be nice and relaxed after that and ready to go against Hibs!
