    Very sad news, and my sincere condolences to Jimmy's family and friends.

    Tonight I was recovering files from a corrupted hard disk and randomly clicked on one of the 40,000 or so picture files....

    It was a shot of Dick Campbell and Jimmy Bone taken from behind the dugout at somewhere that looked like it might have been Cliftonhill.

    Spooky!

    Can someone in the Media Team (preferably whoever announces the substitutions) explain why Thistle changes are loud and clear (even the cringeworthy "Going Going Gone"), yet the opposition changes are barely audible? It's patronising to assume we aren't interested who's going off/coming on.

    Still way better than St Johnstone who, unless I completely missed it, read out only their team's names pre-match,

    and only announced their own substitutions, with no acknowledgement of Thistle subs at all.

    One of the dullest matches I ever saw was us drawing with St J at McDairmid. An absolute borefest, which finally put my reluctantly attending friend off football for ever. I don't think he ever attended another game in the last 30 years of his life. The match was in the late 90s or early 2000s, If I remember correctly, and it was also live (well, dead) on tv (maybe).

    All correct - I, too, remember it as one of the dullest games ever.

    A mid -week night game in the Premier League, televised by Sky in the 1990s.

    So sorry to hear of Robert's passing today. 

    He was a great stalwart of the old 800 Club and a terrific bloke to work with.

    He always had time for fellow fans and, as others have said, his legendary talks at hospitality were worth the entrance money on their own.

    We'll all miss him very much. 

    Sincere condolences to his family.

    Bobby was a stalwart of the excellent 800 Club around the nineties and was Jags Lottery manager for many years, bringing many thousands of pounds of income to the club.

    Always a very pleasant bloke to talk to and a diehard fan .

    Very sorry to hear of his passing and condolences to his family.

    The thing about Chinese whispers is that by the time the whisper has been passed along via several people it bares no relation to what the original message was.
