I think that Megwa (when at Airdrie) had a good game against Aidan in the play offs. However, that was over 2 seasons ago and no doubt much has changed since. Every confidence in all our wide players (including Aidan) to give Megwa and/or whoever are the Hibs fullbacks a challenging afternoon.

Would one packet not be sufficient?

Agreed. Giant asterisk **********

Interesting to note that Gary Mackay Steven, aka Lord Kelvin, is a long term shareholder.

What do you expect with Neil Doncaster involved?

It looks like we have consensus in idem, and this thread can be drawn to a close. Merry Christmas. War is over. All is quiet on the Western Front.

The goalkeeper was Gary Gow. We did indeed lose 2-0 in the return fixture at Ochilview. I think that we only lost one league game between the two, being the 2-1 loss against Clydebank, who were then playing at Cappielow.

As usual you cannot resist the temptation to jump in and repeat all your tired old points. i was simply trying to explain to @ChiThistle(rather imperfectly, no doubt) why the PTFC structure is so complicated!

@Woodstock Jag will explain better than me, but I think the origin of the complication was Jacqui Low’s refusal to transfer the shares direct to TJF but instead to give them to her 5 mysterious and totally undemocratic (to reference the theme of this thread) stooges. From memory they went by yet another trust name (the Thistle Trust?) and to avoid further share transfers (and possible adverse tax consequences?) this trust had to be rather artificially reconstructed into the present amalgam that holds the shares. Therefore it would have been simpler and much less confusing if the shares had been transferred to TJF in the first place. Having said that, although rather artificial the trust that now holds the shares does include a wider range of beneficiaries so perhaps there was a good (albeit rather complicated) outcome in the end. I agree that it is confusing and I am not sure if I have helped to clear that up. No doubt @Woodstock Jag will correct any inaccuracies.

I seem to remember that 2 vital players received serious injuries in the away League Cup tie at Aberdeen, and it was after that our league form nosedived. However, I cannot recall who the players were. Was it Docherty and Holt?

Many thanks. I can recall us riding high at that point, but I had not realised that we actually reached the top, albeit temporarily.

In terms of “a league” I think that it would be in the last couple of weeks of our League One winning run under McCall. I am open to correction here but I do not recall us hitting the top at any point since our return to the Championship. Therefore in terms of the Championship it would have to be in our title winning season 2012-2013.

Or you could always barge in.

I think Cammy Palmer’s best game was away at Inverness when he scored the third goal in a fine 3-1 win in the early days of Ian McCall’s second tenure. Cannot remember any stand out moments at Firhill. I see that he played the first 57 minutes last night. Cannot say that I noticed him at all!

Seb Drozd. What a player! He has it all. Works hard, beautiful ball control, skill, pace, imagination, can go either way, bamboozles defenders and has end product, runs, crosses, shots. Just hope that no one from a higher league watched him tonight and wants to sign him. Apart from the famous goal against Rangers, I was not aware of him pulling up many trees at Queen's Park. Thistle seems to be the right environment for him, and he is just right for us. Great signing, so well done to Ian Baraclough and all else involved in making that happen.
