  1. Comfortable. Should have probably had more chances as Livi are quite disorganised. Cairney and Paton both had great games today and for the first hour Dargo was very nifty.

     

    I think this idea of having Paton in front of the back four works really well (even though it shouldn't). McNamara's building up a bit of a habit of finding new and better positions for players having already done it with Cairney and to an extent O'Donnell and Erskine.

     

    Really pleased for Conrad Balatoni scoring a good goal after a bit of a stramash of sorts. A tad lucky with the Deuchar own-goal (a cracking finish :lol: ) and both Balatoni and Archie were completely asleep when they clashed leading to Deuchar's Livi goal but all in all we looked untroubled asides that one move really.

     

    A good 3 points.

     

    Yes it was definitely a stramash!

  2. I'm really amazed at how people can remember precisely their first game. I honestly have no idea of what mine was, and I often have trouble remembering who we played last week.

     

    Will never forget my first game..22nd September 1962.Came home to Glasgow from Canada earlier that month(we'd emigrated 6 years previously but my dad died and we had to come back home).I got interested in football and my granny pointed me in the direction of Firhill rather than Parkhead, the preference of all my uncles.

     

    Anyway we were playing Hearts and I still remember the smell of pipe tobacco and the sound of Jimmy Shand's Bluebell Polka - I think we were beaten 4-3 but that didn't stop me from coming back week after week and I'm still here.

  3. Like a few of our supporters I spent the the first 3 years of my life in Kirkland Street - I think we stayed in 121 opposite the bakery. I vaguely remember it being really busy with cars occasionally- it must of been the football as the crowds were big in those days. I do remember my dad not liking football though so I was never taken to Firhill at this early age(unlike my own kids!).

    Anyway we emigrated to Canada and when I was 9 my dad died and we returned home to Springburn to stay with my Granny. All my uncles were Celtic fans and my pals were mostly Rangers supporters and when I expressed a desire to go to the football my wise Granny said that I was better off walking down over the canal to Firhill to see the game there.

     

    It was the 22nd September 1962 -Thistle V Hearts....I remember it was exciting but we lost 4-3 (I think)...typical Thistle, but I would never and could never support any other team.

  4. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole jagscast....the interview was excellent. It brought back a lot of memories for me especially my first season at Firhill '62 -'63...my first game was vs Hearts on September 22nd 1962 when we were beaten 4-3...despite losing I was hooked by the atmosphere surrounding our club that comes across so well in the interview with Alan. It made me remember why I do and will always follow Thistle. Thanks lads!

  5. It was clear at the time that Halliwell was badly at fault for the first two. Got his angles completely wrong for the first goal. The second was a terrible throwout to Boyle. You can't see it in the highlights, but Buchanan made a brilliant run out to the left wing as soon as Geri got his hands on the ball. A quick, long throwout to Buchanan would almost certainly led to a chance, or at least dead ball possession up the park. He hesitated, then threw the ball behind Boyle.

     

    I was so angry and upset at the time on Saturday, but as a Jags fan sometimes you just need to man up and get on with it. That's why we're better then any of the scum's supporters.

     

    MON THE JAGS!

     

    Totally agree! Saw Buchanan's run as well.

  6. Ah you can't fool me with your fake foreign name "Uberteeb" especially when it says your location is Glasgow, England. Uber Teeb means 'over my cheesebearing prepuce' in Bavarian.

     

    And your fake Finnish words too! We all know that Nutsie Mutsies is not proper Finnish (there is no 'z' in true Finno-Ugric) but is Sami dialect for 'please put your big stauner in my ear and f**k some sense into me whilst I rim this reindeer'. Obviously that hasn't ever happened to you because, looking at your posts, you have got no sense! Ah, that is so funny, if you understood Finnish, of course.

     

    Hyvästi for now,

     

    Semi Nurainen (I know this makes we Finns look like pedants, but they still haven't corrected the spelling)

     

    Ahhh....Finland, Finland, Findland...erinomainen!
