  1. I heard an advert on Talksport last week about an online retailer offering a pretty good deal.

     

    If you buy a TV from them before the world cup starts, and England then go on and win the tournament, you get your money back!

     

    Pretty much a win-win situation for a Scotsman :P

     

    Edited to add; it's via the Toshiba website. I have a Toshiba LCD TV and it's really good, never had any problems so would highly recommend it.

     

    If you buy a Toshiba TV, register it within 7 days and England win the World Cup, you can claim your money back within 21 days :thumbsup2:

  2. I thought the ref was excellant as well. Maybe someone who knows the rules (!) can confirm but I assumed he was kept on the sidelines as it was a blood injury (nose) and the ref had to check it had stopped bleeding before being allowed back on which meant that he had to wait for play to stop.

     

    As for the game, I quite enjoyed it as well. Certainly not the worst this season. Like others, thought MacBeth was the motm with Rowson, Grehan and Tuffey also doing well. Also think Corrigan does a lot of good things defensively but lets himself down by his distribution. Much like Archie. At this level defenders should play a short pass out of defensive to someone who can play a bit.

     

    That was my interpretation of the situation. The guy couldn't come back onto the park until the ref or the linesman could check that he'd stopped bleeding. The game went to quite a bit without a stoppage that the ref could get a chance to check him over.

     

    I thought Rowser was the MOTM but MacBeth was excellent aand really ran him close. I think Grehan looks to have a good bit of potential, he's decent in the air and links up the play really well, if he can improve his shooting and final ball then i think he'll be a great addition.

     

    I think it was fitting for Tuffey to have such a good game in his last appearance. He's been a great player over the last few years and it was good to see him at the top of his game one last time :worshippy:

  3. Glad you found it so boring, in fact your apathetic reaction is exactly what is wrong round Firhill these days amongst fans.

    A bit of passion wouldn't go amiss or maybe you should go and sit with the board of directors?

     

    I'd say the fact that someone can have a go at McCall for being honest in his post match comments, and a match we won to boot, is what's wrong round firhill these days amongst fans. Nitpicking for the sake of it.

     

    The guys was being realistic, and it's nothing do do with "getting excuses in early".

  4. I like most of that. But Lampard and Gerrard are both excellent, though.

     

    They are both great players, but at the moment only Lampard is really in any kind of form.

     

    I think Rooney aside, not many of their top players are currently playing at the top of their game.

  5. I've never got into this kilt thing - and 'feathers', I ask you! Surely the kilt is Highland dress and nothing to do with the great majority of Scots who are Lowlanders (or even of Irish background).. It's adoption by the more aggressive elements in the "Tartan Army" is an embarassment really.

    Personally I hope England do well in SA If they play to their potential they should do so - but like Scotland usually are incapable of coping with the big occasion. Some English fans are honest enough to admit this.

    Many Scottish fans, unhappily, are so consumed by bitter envy that they make fools of themselves.

     

    It's not the first time that i've seen this type of post on a thistle forum. A sweeping generalisation of every single person that attends Scotland matches in a kilt. What exactly do you mean by the "more aggressive elements"?

     

    To my knowledge i've never met you, and you've never met me. I do, however, offer my sincerest apologies for causing you no end of embarrassment for wearing my kilt when attending Scotland games.

  6. With it looking likely that the SPL will be expanding the season after next, it puts more emphasis than usual on getting the budget right for next year.

     

    If the SPL were to expand it would mean 2 up next year, maybe even 3 and with the right choices made by both the board and the manager, we could definitely finish 2nd or 3rd next year.

     

    Obviously the flip side to this is that if league reconstruction were to happen, quite a few of the first division clubs would probably try and overstretch themselves in order to get promotion. I don't think we could realistically compete with that.

  7. Just think what an asset Dorrans would have been for us if we'd been able to secure his services at the time. A £4m windfall would have removed the need to go down the PropCo route :secret:

     

    I doubt that even if we had signed him, we wouldn't have got anywhere near £4m for him if we then sold him on.

     

    We'd have got roughly the same as Livingston, maybe a little more.
