As things stand, if we lose next week to a QoS who are fighting for their lives, and Morton and Alloa manage to draw against teams whose situations are non-critical, we get the play-off place. Jesus H.

I wouldn't gloat just yet mate.

If QoS lose or draw on Friday, a win for us on Saturday sees us safe from the bottom two spots. Please God, Buddha, Allah, Jehovah, Krishna....

The Onanist knows too well the tumescence that is his.

Not easy with a Semi.

The Jags according to William Blake. Tremendous.

The best way to navigate out of a situation like ours is to fill your starting line-up with good footballers rather than average ones.

What circumstances? There's nothing about our situation that's going to make Aidan Fitzpatrick suddenly forget how to kick a football.

Fitzpatrick and Cardle on the bench. Not sure about even bothering. I'm done with Caldwell and his shit-for-brains nonsense.

And will get a hefty 5% per annum "exit premium" when the Club finally gets back full ownership of the Main Stand and the city end of the ground. How many years now since the Propco deal? That exit premium is growing fast. We heard a lot if sh*te from those guys about how they were Thistle men through-and-through (some of the less shameless ones just described themselves as Thistle-minded). Ask anyone in the North Stand next Saturday the following question: If you had considerable personal wealth, such that you could afford to make a substantial sum available to your football club, would you do that with no gain to yourself, or would you help yourself to 5% every year? Please don't misinterpret the motives of the Propco investors.

Beattie, Allan and Brown? The Propco guys? I think the Club's had as much of that particular brand of business acumen as it can tolerate.

It'd be interesting to know who did the conveyancing on this.

I don't follow your thinking here Jim. Most of the businessmen and businesswomen I know are as thick as mince.

I'm sorry, but even considering giving Hearts' support more than just the Main Stand for this game is a bit embarrassing. Are we really such small fry that we would happily diminish our home advantage in a Scottish Cup quarter-final for a few extra quid? So what if we don't pack the JH and JL to the rafters on the day? If they only have Main Stand, Thistle will have the bigger support. If we give away the North, or sections of the JHS, our support will be outnumbered. We'd be as well really embarrassing ourselves and begging to play the game in Gorgie....

That's my reading of it too.

Mafeking boots are lettin' in.

My best mate had a pair of burgundy stay-pressed. Pretty sure they were 'Farah' brand. This is about 1981? I did my best to top those with a lovely pair of grey waffles. Pissing myself laughing right now recalling the sartorial madness.... Thanks for jogging the memory.

They've all got it infamy!

Utterly negative.

What can you say about the Squids? Great player. Great guy.

The thing I miss most about the old forums is Clinically Depressed's pub guide. Bring it back. CD, are you out there?

This thread has certainly gone off-topic, though I think the flag debate is a discussion worth having. New thread?

An alternative name for the Union Flag in some of the UK's present and former "possessions" overseas. Appropriate, don't you think?

So a handful of Hibs fans are daft enough to think the old Butcher's Apron with the colours changed is a good image to associate with their club and its support. Not sure why we would be taking any cues from them.

Are you okay pal?
