Ah - "Fringe Players"...... Took me a minute or two, but I see what you did there! :-)

Is it Armand One recreating his highest ever leap to win a header?

My favourite bit this time ( and a lovely image to contemplate).... :-) Excellent as always, Semi.......

Well worth thinking about, i'd say. My reservation would be that, as far as I know, she has no club management experience. She did well to get the women to the World cup, but it all seemed to fall apart once they got there, and she seemed to have a major bust-up with the players. She certainly talked a good game when she appeared at that fans' night we had in the AR lounge a few months ago. (But then again, so does Caldwell !)

Archie wasn't listed in the Maryhill programme as appearing. I think he is for Dools' testimonial, though.

Result 3-1 to the old Jags. Goals from Caldwell and Marko Roberts (2). Maryhill's goal was a penalty. Our players were - Arthur ,Craigen, Maxwell, Lennon, Caldwell, Irons, Rowson, McKinstray, Roberts, Twaddle, & Britton. Davy Elliott played in the second half, McCall was in attendance but didn't play and Craig Hinchcliff was listed but I didn't see him. Soma still looking lithe and fit - Lennon, Roberts, Rowson and Irons, one or two gone a bit to seed - Elliott and Banjo, with the rest carrying a wee bit of weight but not too bad. A bit of fun in the sun, but a pity that weren't more Jags fans there.

For those that haven't visited before

I still miss the Textile Gusset Pipe Band that used to entertain us at Firhill in the early '90s.

By well done that man! It's the duty of all relatives to try to deflect weans away from the ugly sisters.

That sounds like a witness statement - were you in the room?

I couldn't agree more. No actual light is being generated by that thread and I now just skip past all posts from those two in case there is some real information hiding in the posts of others. There is certainly nothing new to be gained from reading their tit-for-tat sparring.

....not to mention that multiply-convicted fraudster Giovanni di Stefano, that they allowed to run Dundee. It might be "due", but it's definitely not "diligence".

Brilliant! Is that not about 2 or 3 years in a row that the youngsters have won that tournament? Someone's doing something right at youth level. Congratulations to all involved.

Writing from here in Palermo, Sicily, can I suggest it was a Palermo FC fan who perpetrated the graffiti? He was, apparently, very successful here, until sacked by the Chairman for being "an unrepentant womanizer", if my information is correct. :-) Possibly the most unusual reason for being bagged from a football club!

Woohoo - rowing used to be my sport, in my teens. Wonder if they're looking for an over 60s crew....

On Sportsound, heading for the game yesterday, I heard them discuss Austin's signing where they talked about his medical being delayed until he had recovered from the effects of the 24 hour flight. That does suggest that he is in Glasgow.

well worked goal, I thought.

Meeting a pal at this game, but I don't know what side of the ground we will be in. I'm guessing both sets of supporters will be in the"home"stand, but it would be handy to know. Can't see anything about this on the "match hub" so does anyone have any info?

Tutties Neuk.

Am I alone in thinking that AF was a wee bit overhyped? I never saw him in the reserves/under 18s, but, apart from a great run and one-on-one goal for the big team, I was never all that convinced of his contribution to the cause. Maybe 350k will look like a very shrewd piece of business if he fails to cut the mustard "darn souf".

The English League seemed to have no problem with the consortium's simultaneous ownership of Barnsley and Nice, so why should they object to their owning of Barnsley and Thistle? Consistency in football decisions? Hmmmm.....

Well, that's the explanation for something that has puzzled me for 50-60 years! I can remember my maternal grandfather taking me to see Thirds a few times back then, but the only one that has stuck in my mind was watching them play at Hampden. I could never figure out why Hampden, when the crowd wasn't big enough for a cup semi or final and I don't think they were playing Queens Park. It must have been during the renovations of Cathkin - mystery solved! Much obliged, LIB

No great surprise there. Heard at lunch time that Kearney still wanted to commute from NI next season and the Saints weren't prepared to fund that.

So much hot air generated by so few facts. This thread has taken uninformed speculation to new heights! ...I'm quite enjoying it, really.
