  1. I've been a much calmer person since I put JJ on "ignore".
  2. Was one-legged keeper Wally Foot between the sticks?
  3. Very happy to renew our two today. (just had to wait for the pension to arrive in the bank)
  4. I though we saw yesterday the perfect fruition of the Premier League / Neil Doncaster design of the play-off process. It is deliberately set up to give the "big team" the maximum chance of staying up by making the wee team play themselves to a standstill before they get a crack at the top division. County took full advantage of our inability to raise the same herculean effort for the sixth game in a row and Thistle were just unable to drag themselves over the line after the longest season in our history. Also, by playing both ties under VAR, they allowed the opportunity for the faceless TV referees to have a wee word in the match official's shell-like if it looked like the Big Team was in any danger. Congratulations to Doncaster and Co - their Cunning Plan worked exactly as they intended, and congratulations to County on earning themselves another season in a league they cannot possibly win, and another season of losing more games than they win.
  5. It could be switched off for the away leg, therefore allowing both games to be played under the same conditions. Will never happen, though.
  6. as far as I can gather, the BBC have a Friday night game, Queen's Park v Dundee, so all the games have to run at the same time to ensure fairness, given its the last game of the season.
  7. Maybe not - remember Supercaleygoballistic....... 🤣
  8. Very happy with Kris as the new manager and I wish him the greatest of success. Have dug out my Kr1s Doolan celebration scarf for today's game.
  9. AAHHA more in hope than expectation..... Thanks, BB
  10. Mystic Meg strikes! Got this week's lottery numbers at all?
  11. AHHH HAHH AAHA AAAA tHANKS, bb (who left the caps lock on?) :-)
  12. I agree that it's well worth getting - lots of interesting details around the famous game.
  13. I forget the name of the ground, but it is Crusaders park in Belfast, during a pre-season friendly. I think Gerry Collins was manager then. There is a small stand on the far side of the pitch with a bit of terracing off to the side of it. In between is a short passageway at the side of the stand which had written on the wall, in big friendly letters, "this is NOT a toilet" Ah, happy days...
  14. That seems to have done the trick! Thanks Jagsman
  15. There, surely, better ways to create atmosphere and show support for your team than setting fire to stuff. In what way are the clubs you mention way ahead of us in the fan scene? I only attend Thistle games, so I don't know what wonderful and advanced things these fans have brought to the terraces. I mean, St Johnstone? Really? They set fire to their sweetie papers or their traveling rugs , maybe? I know Bradford City wasn't started by a flare, but I'd dread to witness such a catastrophy at a Jags game. In my view, it doesn't add much to the spectacle and just doesn't seem worth the risk.
  16. One at the Inverness game and two up at Cove. Am I the only one that thinks this is a bad idea and reeks of OF neddery? At Cove, one ended up on the track and burned an advertising board, and maybe the fake grass. The other seemed to stay inside the shed it was let off in, with smoke filling the shed. Unnecessary and potentially dangerous, and I'd like to see our support drop the idea.
  17. A for me, BB. As an anti-brexiteer, gotta support Europe!
  18. Would Robert Reid be prepared to be the unity candidate? Absolutely steeped in Thistle tradition and decades of experience around the club.
  19. For the quarters, I'll go - AAA Thanks, BB
  20. In proper Mystic Megs style, just before he scored, I said to my mate "I've never seen the point in the keeper coming up - it never pays off". Just goes to show what I know!
  21. I've been a Firhill regular for over 30 years and likewise I don't recognise any of these gents, nor have I ever heard any of their names, outwith their association with the PTFC Trust. Where did they spring from and how did they find themselves as the 5 directors, and apparently only members, of this very important organisation?
  22. Took my eye of the ball, (Copyright Archie MacPherson), in the Scottish Cup pop-up, so determined to make the WC more interesting with some skin in the game...... A 4312 B 2413 C 1423 D 1324 E 2413 F 1342 G 1432 H 1324 I'm sure one of these is the combination lock to our best suitcase! Thanks again for all your efforts, BB.
