Just need Sevco to hit a slump and it will be.

Interesting. Wasn't aware of that, DD. Was it used in the same way, i.e. to give one team in a drawn game an extra point? Or was it a way of forcing a positive result from the game? Is either country still using the system?

So it used to be 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw. The change was made, universally, to 3/1 to encourage attacking football, to make a draw a less rewarding outcome. In a ground breaking move, Scotland is making 2 points for a draw a possibility, encouraging what exactly?

If anybody wants to put a few (three to be precise) quid on the outcome of Thistle games, then they could sign up for Second Last Jag Standing. Club get your money rather than the bookie and you could get a lovely Jags top out of it.

That's my understanding too.

Team A wins one game and draws three = 6 points Team B loses one game and draws three = 6 points Ground breaking.

Think this is good, as far as it goes (agree with ian_mac about reconstruction). Like the inclusion of Lowland and Highland League champs. Don't get the bonus point thing though. As I understand it, it doesn't affect the result of the game. The match is drawn, then there is a separate competition for a bonus point. Why?

http://www.eveningti...age_free_quot_/ in this ET article from 13 November Beattie is quoted "We haven’t ironed out all the details, but the supporter’s trust being formed was one of the aspects that the bank were eager for us to set up and we’re happy to do that"

For those only appearing in the left column, if you're missing us already, Second Last Jag Standing wants you. Same again basically. Send no money yet, just getting numbers. Won't happen unless we get 25 people interested.

The OS is showing the next game to be Dundee Utd. So postponed game predictions are void and we move on. Predictions please for Dundee United v Thistle. 3pm, Saturday 12 December. Deadline 2.59pm, 12 December.

So, you're a collector of urban art and you want a ball and a scarf to add to your collection. But wait, you have already got at least one of the footballs and you want more. So you're a dealer of urban art. You have sold the balls and now you have a customer waiting for a football and he wants it before Christmas. So you up the ante, now it's £25 and a donation to charity. How much are your customers paying 'for the privilege'? When my children get their scarves I could put them in a parcel and send them to you for a few quid. Just tell them I lost them. I could specify a kids charity, that would ease my conscience. Fu@k off.

Hope Archie made it to Killie this afternoon to check out Mixu's Misfits.

Yes, me. Conducted himself as a player and captain just as he does as a manager (with the one notable exception mentioned). Calm, assured, unhurried and understated. Great positional awareness, could really read a game. Always there to cover. Strong and effective tackles and good clearances. And he once scored two in a game against Hearts. I think that the move away to DU was good for him. It might turn out to be good for us. If another club comes calling for his services he may, this time, take a good look around and realise what he has at home.

Titanic in the Oval Office! Archie must go (and take that pesky Kingsley with him)!!

Early doors position Not looking forward to the rest of the winter. Think it will be a nightmare for me...

Standings after 2.5 rounds JAGSMAN1968 hits the front.

It was Ian Cameron with 4 rather than Albert Craig with 5. I was a lot older than 8 at the time and my memory was probably at its peak. Can't remember what I was doing last week though!

I'm bored.

And which artist should design it? I would vote for anyone but Tracey Emin!

You're probably right. In fact, I'd put my hat on it.

Soaking up the water from the pitch?

Is there a vegetarian equivalent of an 'Xmas meet up'?

Having just waded to the Gorbals for the boys' swimming lessons, I'm delighted it's off. It's horrible. Official sofa day.

Ok, Thistle v Elements. Who will win? £3 a go. Only joking but Second Last Jag Standing is crewing up so head over there and sign up. It's sooo much fun.
