What can I say ? It should've been an 8-2 scoreline if all chances had gone in. It looked a good game. How many Fans attended ?The 4th Goal was a very well taken effort with the lead up to the lob just fantastic. Even Messi would've proud of that one!

Here in Sydney we have a new Football Team The Western Sydney Wanderers and it's their 1st season in the A league.
No one gave them a chance in their 1st season and predicting the Wooden Spoon but that's not the case. They sit proudly 3rd in the league
and they are playing great football. Their equivelant of the shed congrigate at the back of the City Goal and they chant and sing their heads off
all through the game but the most exciting thing about all that singing is when they Chant at the 2 sides of the ground.
They start at the left hand side of the ground and chant " WHO DO WE SUPPORT' and the fans on that side chant back "WE SUPPORT THE WANDERERS"
Then they chant at the right hand side "WHO DO WE SUPPORT" and the fans on that side chant back "WE SUPPORT THE WANDERERS" and this goes on
at various times during the game and the atmosphere is brillaint even watching on the telly.The recent game when they played Sydney FC was a great game
and the atmosphere was electric with the Sydney FC fans at the back of the other goal packed in and trying to emulate the Wanderers with their own chants.
A bit like the atmosphere at an Auld Firm game really.
I hope that the crowd for the Falkirk game is a good one and plenty of chanting going on! MONNATHEEEEESELLL!!!
By the way their strip is Red and Black Hoops!

I used to wear one like that up toTiffanys on Sauchiehall St when I was an 18 yr old with the long hair down to my shoulders.
I thought I was Jack The Lad with that Jacket and my 4 inch waistband trousers with the 20 inch bell bottoms and by 3 inch platforms.
Geez I must've been a site for sore eyes back then but then again that was the fashion in the early 70's. Geez that was 40 yrs ago !
Am I that old now ? Those were great days though with the hard rock bands like Quo, Sabbath, Purple etc and Oh Aye Thistle were
quite good then too!

Welsh had to go for sure no questions there.
Smith isn't my cup ot tea when it comes to Goalies.
Why did Livi build what looks like a great stadium when it's only 1/16th full?
Were they expecting the Great Glasgow,Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee and Perth Population Explosion to relocate or what?

I was going to ask the same question. I've been a Jags Fan for the past 54 yrs and I can't honestly remember
if we have won a game at the very lasy minute of a game. You have to remember that it was only a few years
ago that FIFA brought in the added time on factor. We didn't have that in the old days, we had to rely on the Ref's
discretion for any added time on. I would say that this added time on is Great if it is an advantage to your team but
a blight on the gane if goes against your team. Look at Rangers against Queens Park a couple of weeks ago for
example or even Man Utd against West Ham on the weekend. How can we be sure that th Ref is going to play the
exact added time on anyway? Last night i watched West Sydney Wanderers at home to the Central Coast Mariners
and there was 6 mins added time due to some idiot at the Wanderers end throwing a firecracker onto the field. The
Mariners scored a second goal in this time to win the game 2-0.
I just feel that Thistle have had more against them as added time compared to winning in added time if you gt my drift.

What about the wumin who asked the shop assistant to show her a pair of Y Fronts that had a left hand opening cos her Hubby was Left Handed ?

It's no different here in Sydney. It's normal to see 2 or 3 women enter the supermarket and stop just inside after the auto entry swing gates and have a chat about Shyte! Then there are the ones who get on the Mobiles to ask if it's ok to buy that Marked Down product that they had no intention of buying until they saw the price! Then there are the ones who browse up and down and around and around while on the mobile "Oh ah Know , Oh ah Know It's awful the price of food today " That's all you hear but they still toss it onto the trolley anyway. Mobiles should be banned from Supermarkets without any hesitation! What about when you just want to pick up a loaf and a pint of milk and there's 1 or 2 women at the Milk Fridge and you can't get to that one pint of milk that you need because they are chatting away and totally oblivious to you trying to open the fridge door!
I rest my case!

My wife is Australian, my son was born in Wollongong, I go to Oz every two years, we're moving permanently in 3 years. The weathers great but there's still too many bogans with mullets
Yep you are right especially down in Wollongong mate!

In about 5 years when they all pop their clogs! Then you can look forward to the next generation of supergroups, you know, ABC, Human League, Kajagoogoo, Culture Club etc. Of course the Aussies will love that, mullets a go-go.
I happen to be Scottish born n' bred but live in Australia by choice and have done for the past 25 years. You should give it a go mate
before you start to slag the Aussies mate. You never know mate you might just like it or do you just love the really bad weather you suffer every day ?

That's $3.07 in oor money which isnae that bad considerin' the brew! We pay anywhere from $2.50 to $4.25 furra wee bottle of beer.Nae problem. I was looking at bottles of the ol' Red Bombers in Tesco tonight at 1.99 a go. Cheeky barstewards....!
The exchange rate at the mo is 65p to oor dollar. We usually pay $40 for a case of 24 cans or stubbies which are 375ml. In your money that
would be 15 pounds and.60 pence.
