The Prince of Kadriorg

Cheers

Only visible to followers though any chance of a summary while my request is pending? Assuming that the twitteration did actually specify a club.

That is all

No sign of an itinerary hereabouts. Said 2:30 start when they were plugging the remaining tickets a bit more a few weeks back.

If you're exaggerating I'm on that bandwagon too. Made the same Banks/Pele comparison myself when discussing it post match.

Waiting for the net to bulge, looked like there was no way on earth Cerny could get a touch on it much less save it. Best save I've seen live ever.

No might be about it, an absolutely astonishing save.

Every word true. Commentary is as objective as can be reasonably expected. Picture quality is great. Preview and post match interviews with the manager and a couple of players before and after every first team fixture. Development squad coverage. It's great stuff. Buy it now.

Second half of the year then, giving time for a final chapter to get shoehorned in about our recent Scottish cup win?

Thought I'd missed the boat on this but perhaps not. Will have one if they're still going, postage to a UK address.

It was also stated standard package would include the ability to watch the video of streaming of home games on a delayed basis and that live stream would only be available for users located outside UK & (I think) Ireland for the usual rights reasons. So no clear benefit for UK based Nomads to buy the dearer package unless they can meet this requirement (or use a VPN or similar to persuade the service they aren't UK based) or simply want to give more cash to Thistle.

He was pretty "Bambi on ice" during that spell mind you. But yeah would be a dull but not awful signing

Conspiracy theory corner:- Funny that the basis for second round seeding only became public knowledge once the zombie h*ns were clearly meeting the criteria to be seeded (or did I miss this being announced earlier and am just having a paranoid outburst).

Pretty decent then assuming there are no random mud-patches just out of shot.

Exactly, time to come back in off the ledge. Given Scotland's abominable ranking every win however shitty even against weak opposition is a small step back up the ranking ladder and towards potentially less difficult draws for the national team in tournament qualification. Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and all that.

Bizarre tactic to have their main striker taking the corners instead of being in box to get on the end of them.

Sound about right and he likely would have accepted the terms offered if the 3 year deal back home hadn't been on the table as well.

"The fixtures for the Betfred Cup Group Stage follow a design from UEFA used previously for the UEFA Cup. Each Club will play one game at home and the other away against the two clubs drawn immediately below it in the group. Club 1 plays Club 2 at home and Club 3 away; Club 2 plays Club 3 at home and Club 4 away and so on. This is criteria is circular so that the Clubs “immediately below” Club 5 are Club 1 and Club 2 in that order. This mechanism will ensure that each Club will play four games in the Group (two at home and two away)."

Will have got 1 and a half games worth out of this season's ST planes permitting on Saturday (stupid early kick off meaning the first half is a definite write off) but did at least witness us picking up one point in person so far and avoid the inevitable injury time equalizers/winning goals by the opposition that seemed to be pre-ordained any time I made it to Fortress Firhill last season. Renewing obviously though since the OS doesn't usually seem to like my pesky foreign bank card that'll need to wait until next week.

Judging by recent bans for athletes for genuine PED use rather than recreationals (Tyson Gay for example) the duration of ban is still a moving target if you 'fess up and are prepared to drop some other individual or organisation in it as your supplier/source etc. Though whether this case was just the US making up the rules as they go along when it comes to their own is another matter. So I'd imagine a full mea culpa for a recreational banned substances would have been a substantially better bet than JM's chosen path.

On a side issue, thought Billy McKay had been binned at Wigan, as per the transfer thread, yet seems to be playing tonight. Anyone got any info.

Was thinking that myself. Looks like a phone auto-correction of Frans I presume.

Yeah I was heading slightly towards hyperbole with the "team full of teens" line. To play devil's advocate back at you do you think that although we'd almost certainly be playing a larger number of younger players if McNamara was still the manager we'd also be playing them in a Thistle team that was still in the second tier of Scottish football due to McNamara's inability to show any tactical flexibility if plan A wasn't working or put out a team that could consistently win a decent amount of away games at that level. I'm inclined to think that the additional element of pragmatism that Archie brings to the manager's job is partially responsible for less opportunities for players straight out of our youth development setup but that this is also combined with the factors described in my previous message about our youth development still being a work in progress and, also, with the higher quality threshold required for a player to be suitable for the first team associated with being in the top division rather than the one below it. No dispute that the current league set up is a hindrance rather than a help to giving youth a chance.
