Next Saturday's game is bigger than the biggest thing you can think of.
Elephant!
For some reason seems bigger than a whale, even though it isn't.
PS Just thought of Big Jim Slavin.

Singing Section Row M. Sounds good.
Must remenber to leave more time to get there than usual as car parking will no doubt fill up much earlier.

What happened to the Spanish fans? Did their plane turn round in mid-air?

Momentum with Morton
Momentum shift next week.

I am huge thistle fan who now lives in Spain and this saturday i will be bringing over 8 spanish friends for thier first taste of scottish football.
iam hoping the thistle away support will be as large and as noisey as i fondly remeber from my younger days when i would go every week, and that my mates all get to experience that special thistle away-day atmosphere.
please make them feel welcome.
Question: what pubs in kirkcaldy do you recommend for before the match?
and can i ask that the photographers look out for us as one of your great crowd shots with us in it would make a cracking souvenier of our trip.
see you all on saturday.
Any chance of Gerry Britton being at the game?
Would be great if some of his subjects could meet the King of Spain.

You've got your counting down to a D there. Well done.
Who do we think his first signing would be? Stephen Davies?
Next seven would be
Jamie Redman
Nikita Yellowvic
Rob Green
Scott Brown
Matt Bluemfield
Stephen Pinkowski
Ian Black

The combination of red and yellow would bring us 3 points.

I think he'd just be in it to pocket some cash.
Pot calling the kettle black.

in terms of timing I think that the best fit is
Archie's Shaggy's Red N Yellow Army
This could work very well if one leader or group belts out ARCHIE'S and another leader or group (possibly in a slightly different location) belts out SHAGGY'S just as the ARCHIE'S is dying away. Then all join together for Red N Yellow etc.
ARCHIE'S!!!
SHAGGY'S!!!
RED N YELLOW ARMY...
A contest could develop between the ARCHIE and SHAGGY shouters which would keep the chant loud and long.

What's the parking situation at Central Park?
No need to park. Just keep driving round the stock car racing circuit.
-
Brilliant goal away against Morton also worthy of mention
..........and no one could point like Rowser!
-
Looks like a case of Shag instead of Shug.

Twice ran past the forwards to good effect in scoring against Alloa and winning equalising penalty against Gretna. Also scored a late winner in midweek away match at Raith Rovers with shot that mysteriously changed direction in mid-flight and totally flummoxed the goalkeeper.Aforementioned winner against Deveronvale was a cracker.
Isolated highlights in an otherwise mundane Thistle career!
-
Would John Collins be interested in a return to full-time management or at least being at the apex of a coaching team?
Not saying good or bad, but surely the way Thistle prepare and play is very much an embodiment of his football philosophy?
-
In the first half, I sat next to an guy in his 50s who only ever criticised the team with scathing remarks. Never did he praise the team when we did something well. Why do some folk do that? I moved to the other side of my row of mates second half to get away from him.
Being surrounded by Erskine haters in the JHS who constantly berated him when he and the rest of the team were playing so well in the early part of the season was one of my main reasons for trying the North Stand. That move turned out really well for me, but looking back I still find it impossible to understand the aggressive negativity with which some "supporters" come to the game.

Ross Forbes with pace would be Andres Iniesta

Nope! It's the old Kingsmill Park of Inverness Thistle, of blessed memory.
Many thanks. I stand corrected. The height of the stand, the placing of the stanchions and the "box arrangement" round the corporate seating are all similar to my mental impression of the Main Stand at Firhill. I will go today and look across and realise how wrong I was!!!
-
Do not usually reply to my own posts, but just got commentary and this relates to a 15 times postponed match between "Inverness Thistle" and Falkirk. I am beginning to doubt my own sanity. That is the old Firhill, is it not??
PS Albert "ghosted" in first!

1 minute 20 seconds into what previously appeared to be an English football dominated compilation of past occasions when football and snow collide, suddenly the old Main Stand at Firhill looms into view and three gentlemen amble out on to the snowy surface. Anyone able to identify them? My memory does not go back that far.

Hope this link works, but if not it is easily found on the bbc.co.uk/football website.
Apologies if the commentary mentions the names. The computer I am at does not have speakers, so I was watching but not able to listen.

^ Strachan tore up his Middlesborough contract which had 2.5 years to run. That decision must have cost him a fortune. You have to admire his honesty and integrity.
Btw, Wikipedia says that George Mackie (53 games for the Jags) was his best man.
George Mackie, what a player, full back, solid build with blonde hair circa 1976/1977

Hi MVM everyone has an opinion, but were you at the game? big Sinclair had a howler like the whole team did, all he did was a couple of runs down the flanks, and failed 9/10 to put a decent cross in the box, gave the ball away lot in the second half, he was not the worst.The team needs to get it's shape back, Bannigan in my opinion only is better at left back, Paton middle, Muirhead centre back o donnell right back then we will be sorted.
I thought Sinclair played well for the first hour before succumbing to the general malaise that was spreading throughout the team.
The one player I would exempt from criticism was Bannigan. He maintained a high standard for the whole 90 minutes and even at the end he was working hard doing a lot of defensive covering as well as bringing the ball forward.
Craig and Doolan together did not work and I feel that we should revert to our previous successful format with one or other of them being supported by both Lawless and Erskine. Whichever of Craig or Doolan is dropped may feel hard done by, but that should motivate them to come off the bench with the right attitude to score or otherwise change the game.

We have played nine away games this season and managed to win two. We have ten away matches remaining this season.
Can we have 19 home games as well as 19 away games?

Presumably nomads get first dibs at tickets?
Have you been reading the story of the Wise Men or what? Every thread I read, you are on posting about nomads. I agree that Clarkston is a foreign country but it does not qualify.
Best Thistle Goal Ever

Peter Lindau's third of his hat-trick to clinch promotion against Stirling. Receiving ball with back to goal. Amazing close control and twisting this way and that to create space where before there was none, before planting the ball past the keeper.
Scott Chaplain volley at Broadwood.
Danny Lennon against Stirling on the second coldest day in history (after the night at Alloa).
Danny Lennon against Inverness at the end of a lovely geometric move of angled passes (Swansea style).
