Hope he doesn't have Facebook...oops lol

Uberteeb - I can confirm I met SigeSige on Saturday - two members of Matchday staff witnessed and Stephen H witnessed the first meeting and a a JT Office Bearer and soon to be member of the legal profession witnessed the second meeting.
They are all willing to give sworn testiment in a Court of Law to the existance of SigeSige.
If its a hoax then its very very very elaborate
I have a picture of him and Jim in discussion...dunno how to put it on here tho.
-
Maybe that's when they let the staff in? Maybe Macbees aren't telling you the full story Steven???
For the avoidance of doubt, I'm joking!
maybe they know I like a few pre match pints and they're catering especially for me 
-
Was told to be there for about 12:30-12:45 for a 1:00 pm start.
Was told 12:15...well doors open at 12:15 at least.

Nice one Stevie, is it a work thing or did you win a competition?
Cheers
. Was a Facebook comp, they do it quite regularly. -
Anybody else booked up for the Airdrie Game Hospitality?
Can anyone give a wee insight of what to expect at Hospitality at Firhill, been to a couple through work but never at Firhill.
Will be experiencing hospitality at firhill for the first time ever thanks to MacB
. Champaign reception, tour of stadium or Robert Reid talk (dunno if the stadium is still on offer). 3 course meal (menu on the official site) with wine(?). Half time tea/coffee etc, complimentary programme and team sheet. Post match bar.No a bad freebie...cheers MacB

Is it sore getting a tattoo?
No sorer than goin to ibrox or Parkhead...infact it's very similar. A bunch of pricks getting under your skin, sometimes causing a mild burning sensation and occasionally causing the feeling of wanting to vomit. But, if u don't think too much about it it's a dawdle (again, similar to how best to deal with yer average old Old Firm knuckledragger).
-
Yes, well it's the whole debate about the "n" word really, isn't it. Even though some black refer to themselves using it, I don't think many non blacks think it's ok to throw around in conversation.
Had this discussion with many a Celtic fan since the song was first sang (ayr away at the tail end of last season) and not one found it offensive. Many we're stunned when I told them we had been filmed by the sectarian police for singing it. A few of us sang it when Jackie took the stage at the POTY night, his response? "Cheers lads".
-
There's already been a complaint about it at Firhill. One of the stewards followed up on it, and the North Stand changed the song to cleaner lyrics.
Why not just stick with the cleaner lyrics than ones with a chance of being interpreted as sectarian?
Definitely not something that adds to the "family friendly" atmosphere we're trying to create.
Nope, we sang it first game of the season and the sectarian police filmed us. Discussion ensued at halftime and a couple of guys changed the lyrics...but very few people sang the 'safer version'. The police line 'we aren't sure whether it falls under the criteria of the new legislation or not' (or words to that effect). Couple of hundred people filmed singing it, none charged or spoken to about it...as far as I know.
Why should we clean it up? It's not 'dirty'. There will be far worse songs sang at the airdrie fans on Saturday.
-
My comments on Stephen Stirling won't get the club fined.
This song, potentially, could get the club in bother. Is there really a need for it?
Bet it doesn't!
-
I wish supporters would drop the "Jackie macnamara - he used to be a tim but he's alright now" song. Or at least change the word "tim".
I'm very surprised we haven't been pulled up by the SFA/SFL for it, after it got a vocal airing on Sunday live on the telly.
We weren't pulled up because its not sectarian...Celtic fans call themselves Tims and don't take offence to it.
You not the same guy who made some ridiculous comments regarding the Morton player getting his leg broke? Strange moral values base you got there G.

I'd rather start none than listen to 16 year olds singing about the section b tbh.
What about 20 & 30somethings, would that be acceptable to you?

I looked into getting qualified to coach kids teams a few years ago. While the SFA had some courses available and would accommodate, it meant travelling some distance to do it. Then there's the finance involved in starting a club, running it and dealing with the legal side (I.e disclosure checks on all/any volunteers. Registering and getting into a league etc). It's much more than a one man job, and finding volunteers to help out was not gona be easy. That's before u even factor in the difficulties outlined here re parents and the attitude of kids today.
My son is 7 and is now starting to take a real interest in playing football. He wants to join a team so I looked into it. The only boys club with a team for his age group us Airdrie Utd (boak). Even then, how do I know they are coaching him the right way? I think I have a fair idea of how young kids should be coached, much of it outlined here. Start with the basics, develop the ability to use both feet while doing so, develop skills and understanding about the game (how to play positions (all positions, no such thing as a midfielder or defender prior to the teenage years).
When at that point, start to play 5 and 7 aside games against team mates (really just a bunch of lads who go to the same place to learn how to play football) and then introduce them to playing 11aside games against other teams in pitches scaled to size for the age group (this would allow them to learn how to play as a team, play the positions properly (rotating the positions each play plays)).
Only when they get to under14/15 level should kids be playing on a full sized 11 aside pitch. By that time they will have developed physically, technically and have a greater understanding of how the game should be played. Also, by playing different positions when younger, and developing the ability to use both feet at the very basic level when first starting to play the game, the standard should be greatly improved.
For now I will coach my son at the basics stage, using both feet, knowing what part of the foot to use for specific passes/shots/skills and how to tackle...and how to enjoy playing. You know what they say, 'those who can, do. Those who can't (me) teach'

If I understand the situation correctly its not the lack of home tops that is the issue - in coming out of administration the company that now produce macb water changed the style of the logo ever so slightly. The existing tops have the old logo and we are currently waiting for a batch with the new logo to arrive.
That explains why we haven't been wearing the black strip then, I guess that one is being consigned to the history books then.
-
I imagine unless attendances rise significantly, or there's some further untapped income stream discovered, we'll have a problem holding on to many of our players. Given that most are maturing and in my mind don't lack the pace or skill to go on to play at a higher level has that one downside. I don't know the answer as I'm strongly in favour of the Club playing within its means but at the same time I'd rather see us lose players to a fee like Harkins/Twaddle than see players walk away like Cairney/Tuffey.
Regardless of how the team performs for the rest of the season I think we can all agree that we've a good few talented individuals in our squad. It would be a tremendous piece of business if somehow we could extend their contracts without reversing our current financial trend.
The only way to do that is to win the league, although a few of our more talented players are on two year deals. Doolan and erskine need their deals extended ASAP tho.

Timberland boots, kilts and silly hats....thinks it gives them a license to do what the fcuk they want.
Most of them do not give a flying fcuk aboot fitba....just the SWALLY.....FACT!!!
Love Scotland and being Scottish...but these bellends really twist my melons.
THE SCOTTISH NATIONAL TEAM ARE AN ABSOLUTE FCKN DISGRACE
Bit harsh. Granted there are plums within the TA that u describe but there are plenty who love the game....several of which are jags fans and follow thistle everywhere too. Agreed about the team itself tho, not deserving of such great backing.
Incidentally, those criticising the tartan army, regulars at Hampden? Go to away games?

I regard the 80s badge as the one on the Colonel Gees strip (best pic I could find on google). Not sure how long it was in use for per 80s.
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gJMCSTp8SGs/S4MqyDOcwnI/AAAAAAAAC0U/39X-eAMFME4/s400/Partick-Thistle.gif
That's the one. It was in use from at least 81/82 and the Gees strip was about 88/89.

Was gona get the newest badge but was put of by the lack of red, yellow and black and can't really think of a way to get it done in those colours. U have just provide me with a eureka moment, gona get the one from the 80s, cheers
Got two Jags tattoos, one is a cracker of the stealth bomber badge...love it (Terrys in the toon). The other was designed myself, stealth bomber on a red n yella saltire with 'Scottish Div 2 Champs 00-01' above it and 'Scottish Div 1 Champs 01-02' below it...hate it now. Was gona get one over the top of it of the new badge on a wavey saltire (red n yellow of course) but don't wana tempt fate. Maybe get it done in may
-
Sorry to drag this old topic up. I'm booked in for Tuesday but undecided on whether to get the hairy gonad, stealth bomber or go back to the 80's style when I started following the Jags, think Morton rolls/Watson Towers kit.
Suggestions welcome.

Just wondering. What would the manager of a SFL Div 3 manager be likely to earn as a salary?
The managers manager?
-
Most of that was how I remember it through the well oiled gaze. We were playing better football all game, even after going down to 10 men. Stupid defending for corners, unlucky with some chances. Ref was garbage but got the Shug red card right, it was a second booking.
-
Sitting midfield players are always likely to pick up bookings and one or two reds a season, it's part of the role. So far, Murray's style of play and positioning has been instrumental in both Welsh and Paton being allowed to work harder in other areas of the the pitch. His experience will undoubtedly be something that the younger players will gain from
Would have rowser in there before Murray every time, even before yesterday's stupidity. Hopefully Rowson is back soon. We have missed Welsh big time too.
-
You mean that it might have been some sort of accident????
Didn't look like mensing committed that foul to me...unfortunately.
Fox kept us in it at 1-0, two great saves. We played some good stuff again and going by the highlights we were worthy of all 3 points rather than being lucky to escape with 1.

Why the hatred for Dumbarton Sigey?
Have you ever been their? Lively big rock you can climb up
Or crawl under.
Prices For Falkirk Game
in Main Jags forum
Posted
Shocking! Will not be having a family away day now...£52 + expenses for me the mrs and our 2 kids
Before people start saying stupid things about fans with kids being spoiled, I expect to have to pay some sort of entry fee for the kids but £8 for a 7 year old is ripping the piss. Livi, parent and child £20...even Dunfermline was cheaper if I remember correctly.
Factor is the point that Falkirk actually have a parent and child gate for home fans only and it's unfair to say the least. Now factor in the valid point that we allow under 16s in free (for home AND away fans) then the use of the word shocking is justified.
Tit for tat perhaps but maybe it's about time Thistle started charging under 16 away fans to get in...which would also save the club from being fleeced by the chancer away fans who get away with goin in the u16 gate even tho they're well over that age.
