  1. The last time we  went to court and lost. my son and I landed beside the directors  in hospitality at a midweek game. They told us after the judgement, they were told by the judges, that if it had been a normal civilian case, they would have won the case. But they decided as it was a football matter, the football rules should be followed.

    Do you seriously believe any of that will happen?

    If you are asking me if Norway are downgrading lockdown on the 28th of April then yes. The Norwegian government have already announced it. If you are asking me if flat racing will start behind closed doors on the 1st of may [also Jump racing on 1st of July] Yes I receive emails from a trainer in England, and at this moment preparations are under way. If you are asking me if Scottish football will return May/June. I don't have a clue.

     

  3. I think the best way would  be to postpone the leagues till it is possible to play the games. The English medical officer has said the curve should level out this week and Scotland's curve in about 2 weeks time. Norway will start to ease lockdown from the 28th of April and the British racing community hope to start flat racing behind closed doors from the first of May.  Using that as a guide, it may be possible to start playing games behind closed doors in late May or early June. 

  4. Two that I remember were - Playing against Celtic , starting the second half its 0-0. Celtic bring on John Hartson,  who had been out injured for a long time. The ball came into the thistle box and Hartson promptly put the ball into the Thistle net. The ref blew for offside and Hartson with his arms outstretched was calling the ref and linesman all sort of names, The guy behind me shouts.'You were not offside John, but your belly was!

    The other game was at East Stirling's park when the ref gave a free kick. The player was ready to take it when a wag called out 'It wisnae there ref, it was two yards back past the daisy!'

     

     

  5. Yesterday I reached the ripe old age of 80. At 10am my house received a call from Jacqui Low, unfortunately I was out at the time, but a message was left on the phone. Just after 12o'clock I answered the phone to Jacqui Low who congratulated me on my birthday. We spoke for nearly 20 minutes just talking about the "Jags" Before we closed the call she said she would phone in a couple of weeks just to see how I was getting along in this difficult time, she also said when the footie starts again, she would try and get me up to Firhill for a birthday prezzie. This is why I support Partick Thistle. The Partick Thistle family club. Love you all.

    One of Scotland’s best ever keepers Andy Gorman very rarely came for a cross ball but he had Centre Halves who knew that and attacked the ball at corner kicks and cross balls.

    Surely we should be set up knowing that Fox doesn’t come for cross balls and either Saunders or O’ware should be attacking the crosses .

     

     

    Easer said than done. Centre back that can do this are now worth their weight in gold.

    That's because...he's injured...

    I hope he's keeping an eye on Brian Graham in training and paying particular attention to him in games. That could be his future. Whether or not that's with us, who knows?  But I seem to remember Brian's career being kick-started by a successful loan spell at East Stirlingshire.

    Yes, played for the shire and I went up to Ochilview on a couple of occasions when he was playing. Sat beside his dad, who had a bet that his son would score the first goal. It was said he made quite a large profit on his son's skills when playing with the E.S

  8. Regarding goalkeepers coming off their line -first of all they need a passage way to do so, also many managers believe the that defenders are there to defend and goalkeepers job is to try and keep the ball out of the net. Just watch match of the day on a Saturday night and you will see goalkeepers worth millions, coming out for the ball clashing with a defender and costing a goal, it happens every Saturday.

    Oh. I should've said. That's Celtic's under 15s.

    A game from not long ago - Celtic7 Thistle under 15's 6 Celtic scored the winner in the 15 minutes injury time  given by referee Father John O' Fafferty!

    Another shock result that day was Falkirk 12 Hearts 0  Walter Kidd was playing for Hearts!

    Zac Rudden possibly on a permanent move to us according to The Sun (I know)

    Rudden signs on 2 year deal from Rangers. Small fee but add on if transferred. Just waiting for clearance which should be on Monday. per Ian McColl on radio.

    Sounds interesting, though not something I'd really follow up on. But a naive question: if the horses win prize money, do shareholders receive any kind of payout?

    Yes you share the prize money although not very much as they are up to 3000  shares. Last year 2 of the horses were Pent[and hills and Getaway Trump who both won huge races worth up to 300 thousand. Pentland hill is one of the favourites for the Champion hurdle at Cheltenham
