Great header by Conrad.
Dignified celebration from Archie in stark contrast to his opposite number after the next goal.

Is Kris getting near to his 60th goal for Thistle? Is he the most prolific since Doug Somner?

Kris Doolan has a delightful first touch that can kill a ball stone dead if he wants to. In the last 2 games, however, against Inverness and Celtic, he has displayed the contrasting skill of an apparently heavy first touch which transforms the angle of attack and takes goalkeeper and defenders out of play before calmly administering an accurate finish. Class!Love them all but Doolan slightly more than the rest!

Wolves' all time leading goalscorer turned up at the wedding.
Bully for him.

If the rule was such that a defender can only play the ball once it has taken a full revolution, what is stopping an attacking team with a 1-0 lead from doing the same but never playing the ball a second time? Site would be sending letters to FIFA if the above definition was accurate.
Funnily enough I did think of that one too. Our brains must work in the same way, only yours translates to posting quicker than mine.

Maybe we were a little lucky. If the linesman had been thinking on his feet and had used the time before Inverness put the ball in the net to compile a self-justifying narrative allowing the goal to stand (and explaining why he had not flagged sooner), then maybe he could have used the difference between the ball moving and the ball turning a revolution. If I have correctly understood the various statements of the rules which have been posted, if the ball has been moved then the corner is deemed to have been taken. However, it is only when it has turned a revolution that the defender can encroach within 10 yards and challenge. So if Draper moved the ball less than one revolution, the linesman could have said correctly that the corner had been taken but equally correctly say to Craigen that he could not encroach until some other Inverness player (in this case Doran) had moved the ball further to complete the revolution (this is sounding a bit Marxist). I suspect that this is crediting the linesman with too much intelligence, but do you see what I mean? [No idea why this came out in italics].

Not a junior team but Geordie Shaw manages and plays for an amateur team in Kilsyth. All to do with the thistle chaplain (mark something or other) asking him to help out a few years ago and he's been doing it since.
I know this as my girlfriend recently moved into a rented house and her landlord is none other than Mr Shaw. Naturally I used the "any questions" bit at the end of the initial viewing to confirm identity rather than ask anything about the property. He then went and dug out a few old framed pictures and other memerobilia for a swatch. Geordie is sound.
Mark Fleming is/was chaplain

A class player in a very poor side. Have vivid memories of him almost single-handedly snatching a draw in a Scottish Cup tie against Celtic at Firhill in, I think, 1968. Final score 3 - 3 Sadly the Jags seemed to lie down and roll over in the replay, which finished 8 - 1 ! Seem to recall the then club captain threatening to walk out on the club, so incensed was he at the lack of spirit and fight by his team mates During half time at the first match a rally car was driven around the track, piloted by drivers who had recently won an international event. For the life of me I cannot remember who they were or what was the event. Are there any old-timers out there who can jog my memory ?
Rally car. Could that be Andrew Cowan, a driver from the Scottish Borders who gained a fair amount of national and international recognition by winning the inaugural London to Sydney rally (if I recall correctly). No idea as to the Firhill link, unless he was a Jags fan. Other possibility is some sort of connection to the Monte Carlo Rally which would start from Blythswood Square, not a million miles from Firhill.

Gary Player, the golfer!Yes practice practice practice as someone once said that more he practices the luckier he gets!
-
Christie Elliot was excellent.
-
Do not know why we had to recruit a Rangers fan. Not happy with a Hunny B as mascot. I think it's a pollen.
-
Bolton are obviously having a difficult season. Any chance Fraser might be recalled? I am not enough of a Bolton expert to know whether their bad run is purely down to poor form or whether they have some major injuries and/or suspensions.
-
At least he is still there and has not hived off somewhere else
-
Bit worried that if I fail to get through the turnstile in time (and technically have lost my right to enter the ground), I will find myself having to argue with the Les steward!
-
Maybe hard to believe, but at that point Strachan was still a very promising young player and all the baggage that hindered his later career was not yet evident. Gerry, Jean Yves and Manny was a pretty exciting bench!

Not a great fan of Mark Lawrenson but good to see a mention for the Jags in his retirement tribute to Alan Hansen on the BBC website. Everyone knows he is a massive fan of Liverpool - and of Partick Thistle, too.

http://ptfc.co.uk/ne...onth_for_august Who makes the nominations for Player of the Month? Stuart Bannigan, Aaron Muirhead and the consistently under-rated but consistently excellent James Craigen would all have been on my list, with the latter just shading it due to the amazing speed of his transition from University to Premiership level footballer

Arbroath was the only game in which he had a reasonably lengthy input. I was there and was generally encouraged. I am sure that I described him in a post on another thread as a mixture of Armand One and Chris Erskine in that he had massive physical presence but also some tricky control and running skills.
He had just arrived at Firhill and was naturally unfamiliar with his team mates. However, he jumped well (better than Armand) and used his strength to hold off other players. He kept moving round in search of space and created a few openings for himself and others. At times his touch let him down and some things came off for him and others didn't. I would have given him a pass mark but with more improvement expected to follow. Not a flop or a dud but not yet a proven success either. I would not have anticipated him being a first pick for the foreseeable future, but I would have predicted a little more involvement than has been the case thus far.

It means that I can go to the wedding on the saturday, and still make the game on the Sunday. Thanks Sky (for the first and last time)
Likewise. Are you going to the same wedding as me??
Service in Largs and Reception in Troon.

Will there be a chorus of One Danny Lennon before the game, to wind up the St Mirren fans?
Hope we get out the blocks and score early, if we do that the home support will do our job for us.
i've never known such a negative support as theirs.
I would suggest "We love Danny more than you!"

Tuffey (when at his best) would certainly have challenged Fox. Twaddle would be a decent alternative at left full back, wing back or central defender.

Am gutted I'm gonna have to miss this and have to rely on the dubious reliability of one of BBC Scotland's sagacious pundits to provide updates on the game. Was tempted to disobey doctors orders and go, but I ain't as rash as I was in my youth, so it'll be the radio for me- just hope that wee sh*t Chick Dung isn't doing the match. As for the match itself presuming there are no injuries we don't know about, I'd give Rennie his chance tomorrow in Welsh's enforced absence. Hopefully, he'd supply enough bite to stop the likes of Ladsley dictating things in the middle. I'm sure, that in private Archie made his views about the lack of defending for the Hertz equaliser last week abundantly clear and that hopefully was a one off. I was actually looking forward to this game, since I feel we've got a right good chance of coming home with three points. Not that I'm being overconfident, we'll only come away with 3 points if we add some end product to or display of a week ago and obviously don't bugger about at the back. I'm probably courting disaster, but I think we'll win.
Who is Rennie?

Will be there on supporters' bus. Still something deeply wrong about playing 200 miles away on a Monday night.
