  1. 7 games against falkirk this season, unless something expected happens
  2. Falkirk 0 Partick Thistle 1 (Buchanan )
  3. Because they are cold and like nuts
  4. What about the people he denounced as liars and scabs because they wouldn't perjure themselves to maintain their lies? Including of course one of our fellow Jags Fans? Why should they and their families have this accusation sitting over them? Sheridan made Murdoch's game so damn easy. He should have just ignored it: but he wanted his teetotal, scrabble-playing family man image to be preserved. The accusations weren't that important and, given that they were true, he should just have brushed them off.
  5. Well I am grateful that he stepped in when he did. But this is the right decision for the club.
  6. But all the adverts are contextualised to your searches. If you are getting Celtic ads, it is only because you are looking up Celtic in google.
  7. The Red Flag was originally set to an old Scottish tune of the Robert Burns poem The White Cockade. It was later adapted to the German Tannenbaum/ Oh Christmas Tree. We just need to sing hello, hello , how do you to the tune of the White Cockade to complete the circle.
  8. Serious idea. Maybe the 288 seat stand should have 144 comfy chairs with arm legs and recliners. Put them behind a glass wall and heat the area. Then charge £25 - £30 a seat.

  11. Pat Docherty left to join the police too.
  12. I drive and cycle. Cycling on the pavement is not a good idea. It is too slow, dangerous for pedestrians and illegal. Cycle on the road, but a good distance from the kerb - approx 1m, so that you don't bang into drains and can wobble up hills. Keep a steady speed, look around you and remember that cyclists make some car drivers nervous. If it is icy the best things you can do are check your brakes, make sure your tyres are fully inflated and have sufficient tread, drive more slowly. If you encounter black ice, it's probably best to dismount. And wear gloves too! Cycle paths are good: cycle lanes can be a curse - particularly as you have to move in an out to accommodate parked traffic. In terms of good behaviour, don't take the piss by jumping lights, not signalling, going without lights. It justs pisses off people who we need to share the road with. There are lots of daft people who use bikes. Not outnumbered by daft drivers who routinely brake speed limits, fail to signal, use their horns for sport or park in cycle lanes. As a cyclist my biggest bugbear with drivers is failing to signal. I understand that people think that road position means that they don't need to signal (e.g. on a filter lane), but for a cyclist it really isn't worth betting my life that they intend to turn and haven't just missed the filter sign. As a driver my biggest bugbear with cyclists is pulling out without looking or signalling.

  14. I remember Brian Gallagher picking up an old black dog at Firhill during a game once. Anyone else remember?
  15. How about a 21 team league, just so that we could definitely get a place in it?
  16. You might get it on BBC iplayer or on the Red Button
  17. mmm but we've got a sell-on clause with Gary Harkins which will be worth nothing if they have to free him.
  18. I think most Jags Fans are realistic and realise that being bottom of the league at the end of September is not a sacking offence. Most also realise that we are under severe financial constraints and the manager should not be expected to work miracles. Most also realise that not only can we not afford a new manager, there is no obvious candidate who would be better than him. Anyone who wants to sack a manager working under severe financial restraints only a few weeks into season is at best unrealistic, at worst deluded.
  19. If they sell or free Gary Harkins is a firesale it means less money for us... Come on Dundee!
  20. Nah, this has been the case for 30 years - a large accumulated losst only guaranteed by a very large piece of real estate and the forebearance of the bank in funding it. It is the property crash and the change in the attitude of the banks that caused the change in the auditor comment.
  21. I think 'abusive' gets overused but it was certainly unconstructive and made personal attacks. If you can't take it, don't dish it.
